Looking good mate, a very clean and practical install too, with the cover down youd never know this was in the back of it!
Im having visions of you shooting down Hammond Avenue with the cover malfunctioning and going up and down, it'd be like a dragster parachute going crazy. Better keep me away from your ute next time you drop in at work  :

Awesome work.
Makes me wanna buy a ute!!! One of the B-series RTV utes would be awesome with a mod like that, with the extra ground clearance and stuff.

Thanks Guys.
You can get the tents from a few places for about 600 for a standard lifting hard top.
