ORIGINAL: Hummerhead

H34me: I had me and my girl up there and we didn't just sleep! None of the weight hits the center of the roof, its all distributed to the roof rails. What was really cool about it was how level you can make it. I hate an out of level bed. By just digging a couple of small holes for the wheels on the high side to drop into, it leveled it right out.
Woohoo! You all could be member's of the Mile High Club with the elevation of that tent. I'd also say that you've also conclusively proved that the roof will hold up.

Sounds like on helluva trip my friend. Thanks for sharing it with us.

All the best.

Nope...Sorry Doc...I grew up in Tucson where we used snakes as jewelry...got bit once pretty good by a baby rattler.[:@]I got the idea from some of those cool fold-out, roof-top safari tents...but couldn't see spending the $1100 for one. More fun building one anyway.

Hammerhead,
Great pics and nice rig too. What type of roof rack is that or did you make that also? That ladder really looks sweet too. Nice job!

That is one sweet rig!! And it's always nice to see good pics of a Hummer doing what it's made to do.
