Roof/Bed-top tent - which brand? hardware?

[vijay]

Hello team, I have been a long time member here but I mostly only followed other threads. I finally pull the trigger and bought rare 2015 Tacoma(TRD PRO one of the first ones to be sold in manual crew cab configuration). Now, I need to mod it:
a) I need a roof top tent: what brand do you recommend? should sleep 4 people and hopefully get a covered veranda space.
b) what kind of mount are you using for roof/bed-top tents?
c) I need to heavy duty roof rack as well. Any recommendations?
Some pictures to keep you interested.

a) Tepui Gran Sabana -sleeps 4. Has an "annex" room. Best quality/features in my 3 months research
.
b/c) Thule track rails/towers/bars. Tepuis mount directly to the Thule.

Great looking rig! I don't know much about Tacoma's or roof top tents but check out PRINSU DESIGN STUDIO ROOF RACKS. I have always loved his systems, just waiting for a Tundra version.

You can see them here and on some other pages. I look forward to following your build. Good luck and happy trails!

Where's the "jealous" button? Super great truck you got there. :drool:

a) Tepui tent. I've had my Kukenam for a few years now and have had great success from searing hot temps, rainy blustery nights, and snow cover.
b) I made an easily removable bedrack for my 01 DC out of unistrut (purchased @ Lowe's). Alot of measuring to make sure the bed only stuck up 6" above the roofline, yet I can still see out my rear view mirror. If you're at all interested in the build process, I'll give you all the info I have. Or you can follow it on Northeast Overland dot org

Here's a few pix to help get the idea across. (sometimes my explanations aren't the greatest...)
