I've used the defender mounts suggested here on several trips over the last 3 years. My truck is a 1999 4runner. The tent is a Tepui Kukenam Sky. No issues, and the setup is pretty easy. I check all the bolts regularly. On my last trip, a couple of them worked themselves loose.

Expecting delivery Monday.
Ordered the mounts from the second post as well: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/161287-anyone-mount-roof-top-tent.html
The way I understand this is that as long as I was on the list of the original Tepui Tents GB I don't have to do anything to be part of this now. The list with all those people will be sent in on Monday. Is this correct?

The center of gravity (CoG; the point where the weight of the tent effectively acts upon your vehicle) of the tent should roughly be located at the center line of the tent, which will be located just past the side of the vehicle (see pictures on...

The part numbers don't though. What are the details here. Would these work well with 891 coils on a 3rd gen?
Can't decide on which one, but once I do, count me in. I'm going between the Ayer, just to go basic with something new to get into and the Kukenam Sky.
Hello everybody.
Finally got a 1999 3rd Gen 4runner last summer. So far I absolutely love it.
Kind of a unique story of how I got it:
I was on the way to look for yet another 4runner on my months long hunt for the perfect one. As I got close to where the guy told me to meet him I saw a great...
