*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

I actually fell out of my RTT the other night.

 

Thank God it wasn't far

 

Nope, just 7 witnesses

Front runner bedrack FTMFW

 

I blamed Stella. Even though she was already on the ground LOL

 

What do you guys use for security? Locking tent with locks.

 

Weld.

But my "rack" is in two parts. The brackets that always stay on, and the bars which I remove to store the tent. The tent always stays on the bars, but if I ever need it off I can always grind off the bolts.


So these brackets are always on.




My tent stays stored unless I'm using it. Where the tent is attached to the bars there's a bead of weld on the bolts. Then just lower it down onto the truck.




For added security I run a cable lock between the tents and the bars, then lock it to one of the rings in the bed.

 

i'm wondering the same thing. using mine as my daily driver until i replace the water pump in my other car and at times i'm concerned about my rtt

 

What about the guy who used eye bolts and a pad lock?

 

That was me

 

do you remember the length of eye bolts you used?

 

Been there.... But I need to admit, there was alcohol involved.....

 

I may have had a beverage or two in me

 

I puked out of mine for the first time this past weekend.

Pro tip: barfing while laying on your stomach from the RTT causes puke to choke you in every breathe hole.

 

@PSU Taco85 fell out of his one time...

 

I've been eyeing the Bundaberg and Byron lately, myself

I have yet to do that one at least. I get my puking done prior to climbing up the ladder. Peeing on the other hand....
