    So when I have the tent open. The side with the ladder doesn't rest fully down it always wants to spring up slightly like maybe a 1/2 -1 inch. Any ideas what I am missing? Also the mattress is always folding out the bottom where the two sides fold in together. How did you guys stop this

    Mine was the same way with it not wanting to stay fully open but it's fine now. For the mattress look in the corners and there should be Velcro straps or something to hold it down. Also it should also have a strap that goes across. At least mine does..

    I will have to look for the strap and see I have one. I checked the velcro in the corners and adjusted but still wants to pop through.

    Still wants to? Jeez mine are really hard to undo under the mattress... My strap is just as you get in the tent, goes across the mattress.

    My new tent does that for a little while. I think it's a new thing. After a couple hours it settles1c4ef620801b3fc936f32d72cfec308d_518454dd6daab5ea613d58aa5ba20ccd3e3de689.jpg

    My tent was "sold out" too. But a guy up here called tepui and he had a new Kukenam sky on my doorstep in two days. It was awesome!

    Just got my Mt. Shasta mounted up using a couple of bed bars, measured it out so I can add a 20 inch wide truck box in between. More picture from this weekend to come!

Full length Rocky Mountain Rack with 40" lightbar & alternating strobe rear dust lights. I used a warm weekend in March 2022 to finally install my brand new, from old stock, 2000 4Runner driver's seat. $800 directly from the factory in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.
    Same thing happened to me. Congratulations, your rack & mounting position just filled in a slipstream eddy in your drag coefficient. I had a mechanical engineer design & fabricate my custom rack. My cbi swing out bumper filled in another one, adding 150# of weight & extending the length almost 18" resulted in no loss of fuel mileage. :goingcrazy:
