one of those tents that fit on the back of your truck. i have a camping trip coming up this weekend and i don't have one. my friend had one and was gonna give it to me, but it wont fit. any suggestions? i tried academy no luck. thanks guys!

 

Cabela's? Bass Pro??

 

Couple blue tarps and a role of 550 cord. Custom fit every time. You want to upgrade, get camo tarps.

 

Bass Pro Shops has them, check out ther website Bassproshops.com,
I was there the other day and think I saw them in the Grapevine store, Not sure about Cabela's was there as well, but have trouble navigating that store

 

Who needs a roof? It just blocks the view of the stars. As long as you're not camping in the rain...

 

Here's one
Go to cabellas.com / Automotive & atv / truck bed accessories.

link below is kinda long. not sure if it will work

i will have to go to bass pro we dont have a cabela's down here don't think. darn i will have to drive all the way to katy...ugh! well its gonna be cold this weekend and it might rain so i need some cover. i got the blow up mattress just need the tent. thanks guys!

 

lets see, you have a quad cab

yup, thats it. also, truck makes a good shelter when its raining. don't ask, I know. I've slept under/in/on my truck many times on job sites.

 

Under the truck is usually dry enough to sleep.

 

Yeah, nothing like a spring fresh downpour, where you are parked on high ground, and just worked all day/night/most of the day again. Nap time says, take the hudson bay blankets off the seats, fold up the insulated coveralls as a pillow, crawl under the truck, and get some sleep. Now thats camping. hah

 

Couple of cargo straps and you can have a hammock strung from the frame rails......

 

Your closer to Dallas than Katy arn't you? There is a Cabela's and a BPS in dallas.
You might also try REI

 

Katy is closer for sure! If you don't mind me asking why does it have to be a truck tent? You scared something is gonna get ya?

 

flatter, smoother ground to sleep on?
In my younger days, it was usually sleep in the cab of the truck or sleep next to the fire outside.

 

Here we go back to the ol West you meant horses, not cab of truck.
