    I don't know if I could trust those little "hooks". I'm probably gonna invest in a couple shackles or different hooks for the front.

    I've been pulled out of and have pulled people out of stuff using that one hook in front for years.

    Works fine :notsure:

    Of course there are much better aftermarket options

    They were free. I just wanted to move them because I had to take them off the front of the truck.

    My daughter, 5, who loves Cars is cracking up

    I felt as though the ridge line wasn't the same but the rock faces look so much like the flatirons.

    At least without my glasses :eek:

    Nice. I've seen a few of those around, they seem pretty sturdy. I'd like to get a little camper someday - it would be nice to have something other than a layer of nylon separating me from the critters and what not :rolleyes:

    Truck camping I bring a queen size air mattress and a 3" memory foam/gel mattress topper.

    It's more comfortable than my own bed at home.

    I sleep on a 1/2" piece of foam in the bed of the truck with no topper. I really need to upgrade :laugh:

    I don't want a topper though :eek:

    :eek: I couldn't do that...like last weekend it was 28* out. I would have woken up covered in frost and my sleeping bag zipper frozen shut.

    some people build platforms so that the mattress sits on top of hte fender wells

    I never sleep in my truck. Too small.

    I have a 4 season tent that's relatively the size of the Taj Mahal
