Not all 80 series have lights on the door panels is what I meant. So it isn't an issue for a lot of us.

Anyone have one of these for sale?
If you're talking about the tent the thread started out with, I was never able to locate any.
If you're talking about the DAC Tailgate Tent, it's still available from Amazon and other retailers.

I have a very lightly used Spector Off Road version that is a custom fitted "Wagon Tent" for the 80 series. I like it because it covers all windows/windshield and has screen windows/shades that can be opened up for ventilation. I'm willing to part ways with.

That would probably keep you warmer than a DAC tent would, if that's a consideration where you plan to camp.I have a very lightly used Spector Off Road version that is a custom fitted "Wagon Tent" for the 80 series.

Are you talking the safari soft shell in the OP? I have one that's very used but not sure for sale if that's what your asking, Click the link and call them, I think they were out of UT or ID if I remember right, website still seems operational. I bought one maybe 20 years ago for around $450 I believe. One of the best hatch tents I have seen and used but one major flaw is they lined the top with the struts and left it open to the body with a huge open gap, that and price.
I actually tried a few other universal tents on here and think they suck in my opinion so may take the tent to a local sew shop to see if they can get rough dimensions and make it right on the top closure. Really happy with it otherwise and the fitment was spot on once I was able to close the gaps at the top.
yes I’d love to source a safari soft shell if possible. Thanks for all of the info. Super helpful. I’ll try reaching out and see what’s up. I don’t want anything huge like the SOR one, nor too cheap like the DAC one. From what I have see the safari one makes the most sense.
Thank you but this looks a bit too cumbersome for what I’m looking for. I need to have access to all of my doors while it’s on the truck. It it was just the rear part, I would be all over it.

It packs really small and fast setup, If you talk to them ask them if they fixed the top gap issue. worth the money if they did. I'm a bit pressed for time but if I get a minute I can install it and sent pictures of the gaps. I took some workout mat and cut it size to fill the top gaps and bottom body to tailgate gaps. Worked really well. You cant see the gap in their terrible pictures and think they are original on the website. I wasn't part of the original group buy but a good deal if someone could do it again, I would be in. I got my moneys worth after 20 years of use.
I just tried calling and the phone number now goes to a completely different business.
LOL, I searched and found this also.

I was a bit more critical back in 2007 but have got a ton of use from this thing and think this post was pre gap solution. Looks to be a dead end but I still have mine and seriously will look to see if I can get this local shop to reverse engineer it and improve it. They are a small shop and soooo slow tho. Fitment wasn't great but compared to the few universal options it's by far a better 80 fitment and is quick and easy to use.

Anyone used or have one of these tents...please share your experience(s) with them. Also, what are some lower cost alternatives to high-end roof-top tents. Thanks http://www.xocom.com/ss/index.html :cheers:
