Looking cool. Rooftop tents are a craze over here.

Front bumper is from a Nissan Patrol. Had to close up some gaps and cut away some other. I added the vents and the aluminium dressing. A radiator for the power steering is tucked away behind the second vent.

My 4.0l with rooftop fitted in Namib desert.

Extra Jerry cans fitted (6 of them) to ensure juice for 450 mile desert trip.

I was going to buy one at the beginning of this year but has to get other things first so I decided to wait till next year. From what I've read the FAST fuel efi is a great choice.

I can't find anybody I know running one of these setups but I'm told mustang guys run them on their drag cars. I've also seen them use these on powernation tv. For $1600 (minus the pumps) looks to be well worth the money. I did months of research on them with the help of YouTube and Google.

I am also researching EFI for a while now. My Ranger have a slight bog down problem under heavy load when the secondaries open.
We have EFI systems available made local but setting them up require hours of dyno testing.

I like the idea of a self tuning system.

That's why I want to go with the bolt on efi because it self tunes. Plus I dont want to have to track down everything needed for an HO 5.0 efi setup that is only getting older and harder to find as time goes on.
