Hi All,

I spent probably 100 hours building this setup to fit/extend my 2001 short cab, and it worked well. But we have a kiddo on the way, so happy to pass this on for free to somebody who can use it and pick it up in Pacifica, CA.

It's designed to be super lightweight, quick to set up, and max out the (sparse!) room under the cap.

Included:
- PVC and wood supports
- folding platforms
- extending 'tent'
- 4-piece 4" upholstered memory foam mattress

This looks amazing. I want to do something similar for my gen 2. What did you use for the extended tent portion?
