Anyone know of an outward folding roof top tent that can be attached to a half rack of a 2 door. Or if it's at all possible

What is a "Half Rack of a 2 Door"?

I would love to see something like this but haven't come across any since getting my Bronco a year ago. Half racks usually have a much lower dynamic weight capacity, limiting what can go up there. The tent would also have to be some sort of origami tent that unfolds so you can actually fit in it up there.
I'm thinking a better solution might be some sort of tent that unfolds down from the back of the half rack. I've considered a 4.5 foot awning to put back there(arb makes one that size). Some come with side panels to make it a sort of tent.
Hopefully someone in the community has found a solution.

Oh I hadn't thought of something folding towards the rear. I saw a few of those tents made for cars that opened toward the side of the vehicle with ladders I presume helping support it. Then wondered if that could work for a half rack since it would be about the same size as a rack on a sedan or something smaller

Those half racks are not very wide right? 2 feet or under?

Not sure they make a tent that is only 2' wide.
