    More progress... OME heavy kit went on today with SPC control arms. ARB Summit bar and M8000-S install tomorrow. Also My Tepui Ruggedized Kukenam Sky showed up. Hoping to test everything this weekend.

    Also to help others out... I've owned an ARB Simpson III, CVT Extended Summit Rainier, Tepui Gran Sabana, and now the Tepui Ruggedized Kukenam Sky.

    All are excellent tents. I really liked how the ARB functions with the extended entry way. They take the top prize in that. It's all built in with not pole to fool with. CVT incorporates heavier fabric and a full diamond plate floor. Not exactly sure how the heavier fabric will breath but it would probably be slightly more durable. The Tepui Ruggedized Kukenam Sky looks really cool! I think the added "Sky" Windows will allow for much greater airflow and comfort down here in the humid Southeast. Looking forward to testing it and doing a full review/comparison.

    Also the Tepui packaging is by far the best I've seen!

    I've been following on IG. Good to see so many other NC dudes here. I'm from Hickory and work in Lenoir. Keep up the good work! Curious to see what your new wheels and ARB summit bar look like Installed.

    Why did you get the short bed?

    ARB holds the patents for their current tent/s. Most of the CVT, Tepui, etc are just the old ARB patents that ARB didn't want to pay to hold onto.
