Why are all mounted tents over the bed and not the cab?

7 Upvotes

I've seen a lot of overlanding truck builds and they all have the pop up tent over the bed of the truck on mounts. Why don't they put it over the cab and maximize the bed space vertically? Im looking at it from the perspective of a daily driver/ overland build

Finally got a fridge

Picked up a fridge finally and holy heck is it heavy. I didn’t go with a drawer because I wanted to be able to take it inside to load, but I doubt if I could lift this thing full into the back of my suv. What do people prefer for theirs (1) leave it in the back of the suv permanently or (2) store it inside, be able to precool, and just carry the racks separately? Power would be from a jackery 1000.

If anyone was curious on how everything turned out from my previous post, here’s my truck now.
Just redid the gas shocks and leaf springs and threw on some 31x10.5 tires. Super happy with the canopy and rack combo, + custom storage boxes in the bed

Bought a second hand skybox 16 for $200 from some really great dude on OfferUp. The driver's side opens perfectly but the passenger side is dead and won't open. Vid shows the passengers side of the car

Any idea on a fix or what's wrong with it is appreciated

Also sorry if this isn't the place to post 😭
