Not enough room to stretch out. May if you dropped the tailgate. Plenty of room for camping gear, not a lot to lay down in.

Yeah, when me and my son take the Bronco out for a camp trip, we flip the seat up and it's plenty of room for our sleeping bags, coolers, tent, camp stove, lanterns and firewood. I'm 6'3"-290 and he's 4'-50lbs. It's plenty of room for our gear but not for sleeping.

That's cool, Encho!
Keeps you well up off the ground, away from things that crawl or slither around during the night.

Yes, it's a very nice place to be up there, very cool also, which is good since the weather here is warm usually.

Not at all, the roof remains stock, the four bases distribute the weight very well. I've used it with companion (only 1 girl) and i've had no issues (i must add i weight aprox. 220lbs). There is more drag and i lost a little pick up and 1-2 MPG, the center of gravity feels unchanged. The main dis-advantage is the new height prevents me from accesing some buildings and parking lots.

Nice. Did you build that rack or was it part of the tent?

It was custom built at a shop... as i have no welding equipment. I paid a little over $600 for everything (it was worth over $1000, so i got quite a deal).
