LOL. Thanks...the thought crossed my mind. ?

Well lookee what we have here.

In other news - we learned today that there is another company that does hurricane testing on the same panel material we use. The panels take a 2x4 fired at 100mph with no intrusion or failure. More food for thought. ?

Voila.

Ok folks...it's on. One last look at prototype 001 before..."the incident" And...the culprit...

COMING SOON! RTTx Prototype 001 will be sacrificing itself...for the cause. We will be testing the structural integrity of prototype RTTx001 by dropping a 7" diameter, 6' long pine tree limb from 10-12 feet onto the tent to find out how tough it really is...on camera. (That is of course, when...

No...you want the custom striped cover. https://www.thefoamfactory.com/mattress/graywhitecover-custom.html Side note - there is no need for waterproofing the mattress. If you are getting water in there, there are bigger problems with your tent. ;)

Best place I have found. https://www.thefoamfactory.com/ Priced right. Nice selection of foam qualities and reasonably quick. Highly recommend the Lux and HD foams - be sure to get a cover or you'll receive just the foam.

Testing out the Lux Foam mattress... Oooo, so comfy. ?

Yes - you are correct sprung and unsprung - my bad. Was aiming for a simple weight vs weight scenario. (Although...technically speaking...that still holds true.) My point - added weight...of any kind is detrimental for vehicle performance, regardless of the vehicle. And...50lbs is a lot. It...

Hello Mike - yes...we are ramping these up for sale. Please feel free to visit the temp Facebook page while things get ramped up. http://www.facebook.com/terrapod

Sorry...I disagree. Weight is a significant factor. Example: 20lb wheels with 40lb tires versus 32lb wheels and 50lb tires. Which will have the better handling, suspension action and get the best gas mileage? Every pound added to a vehicle has a negative effect. My design philosophy = simple...

Sure...happy to. The simple answer - modern fabrics have come a long way in terms of being UV stable, waterproof / breathable, and being tough as nails in harsh conditions. We came to this conclusion because this RTT is not a ground tent that is to be rolled up, deployed on the ground (i.e...

Thank you for your interest. Very familiar with 80/20. Cool product. Depending on the profile, it can become quite heavy when used in quantity for framing, etc. Regarding your Jeep - you will need an exoskeleton / exo-frame type of rack. Nothing can be mounted to soft top.

RTTX: Just how low of a profile is the Terrapod RTTx? You tell me. ? Hint: the FZJ80 has a taller lift AND larger tires.

A 5" mattress will not fit. And...5" is not a stock RTT mattress thickness. That is a custom solution. However, variable foam densities are offered through the mattress manufacturer ...or... the Nemo Equipment 50L Cosmo XL insulated mattress provides the maximum in comfort, storage and...
