No sky windows in the Ruggedized. I'd be happy to chat about the different options with you and help narrow down your choice. Feel free to give me a call and we can figure it out. 801-710-8110
You are correct....mostly. I made a mistake when I read the material on the Smittybuilt. There is still a bit of difference in that the Smittybuilt is full polyester where the Tepui is poly/cotton. But that's a good thing for Smittybuilt owners. They're closer in material type to some of...
you guys are forgetting that I sell Tepui tents too. :) I'm much bigger than REI or Cabelas. Ok maybe not, but I'm big in Japan, I think. :sombrero:

Lots of great partners out there now that carry Tepui Tents! It's good for everyone.
So it sounds like they didn't stop offering the sale, but they just ran out of tents. Not surprised, a lot of people jumped on it. They can't sell you a tent they don't have. Not trying to be a jerk about it, I would be a bit frustrated too if I had an order placed and it was cancelled. If...
You are correct they are very similar tents but the Autana has the extended canopy and enclosed annex included. The annex detaches and stores in its own bag. With the Ruggedized annex it's a bit big to store the annex inside the closed tent because of the thicker fabric.

Here's a simple one I built for my Tacoma. Could easily be replicated on a Tundra. Simple design but worked really well for me.

You might try the "whiskey bend" method, no idea where the name came from. I've done that a number of times. Basically use a cutoff wheel to score the sheet metal (more like cut part way through) along the line of the bend. Allows for a more crisp bend, but does require a bit more work to...
FYI, Tepui has also offered a Ruggedized Gran Sabana with a full 8x6' sleeping area (sleeps 4) along with the overhang and massive annex. These have been a limited edition special run last year and again this year but have proven to be very popular so it's likely that they will be restocked...
I can offer some help regarding the Tepui Tents and give some insight on cap mounting etc. Give me a call at your convenience and we can discuss. 801-710-8110
