Mounted the tent and let it air out. I love this thing. I can’t wait to use it.

Got to use it this past weekend, had a blast and it was extremely warm compared to a normal ground tent. Also the best nights sleep i've had while camping.

Naturally after a weekend i find things i want to do to it. So i grabbed some carpet we had left over and placed it on the base for the ladder landing pad. I noticed it was already scratched and slightly dented from bouncing around i'd guess. Its a double stick commercial waterproof carpet so this should do the trick.

I also swapped to a black cover, which fits the look of the runner a lot better.

Next up is LEDs for the inside and base floor to light up below the ladder when deployed.
 
You always wheel in the coolest places. Great pictures, looks like a really fun trip!
its definitely beautiful up there. Thankfully its also close to home. We would have gone farther but the granite slabs in the scenery pics were all iced over.
 
Since this doesn't pull daily duty anymore when does it get a TRD blower and gears?
they dont make the charger anymore so i'd have to buy a used one. They randomly pop up for sale but usually $1800 for a used charger kit that may or may not have missing things.
 
Started the work on my rear cargo drawer system this weekend. I have 90% of the cargo and drawer center section cut and routed, now i need to cut the sides which will provide open top cargo locations for loose items to be stowed. It will be a full cargo area platform with two large drawers. The left drawer will be a big open drawer. The right drawer will consist of the large drawer area to have a platform for the camp stove and a smaller drawer will slide out from below that. The smaller drawer will have a pop up platform to serve as a camp table/bar top. This should really make packing and camping much easier in the future.

Hopefully next weekend ill have some assembled pics.

Looking forward to seeing it assembled. Makes me want to get out and camp more.

Received my black stone labs report back. 50k miles since my last one. For what it’s worth the last one was without amsoil this was with mobil1.
