*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Lemme get home from work, 23mins left. For some reason, one of the only websites blocked at work is Flickr so I cant link my pics i uploaded last night.

Coming in a bit, i promise!

 

If you dont get any specific answers regarding camping near you, you can bring this question over to the 'Regional Area - Florida' thread and see if they have reccommendations for ya. Best of luck!

Excuse my special looking womanfriend trying to put the window supports back in the bag

In the Tacoma's natural habitat - strip mall


Can't wait to camp in the Walmart parking lot this weekend!!

 

Let me know what you think of the odin designs tent. I'm looking at their type E tent. also, any interior pics?

 

I'm unfortunately leaving town this weekend and cant try it out immediately but at the latest, the friday after that ill be using it. Ill do a full first impression review of it then. My friend has a type e on his FJ, he LOVES it. sick tent.

 

Which bed rack, or custom?

 

@KB Voodoo Full height rack

Nothing but good things to say about it

 

Thanks man. Ill be looking for it

 

Can't get a response to any of my other posts about this, maybe this is the best spot.

I'm looking to put a RTT on my SOS Concepts bed rack. I bought it off a guy that had a long bed. I'm in a short. There's a bit of over hang in he back, but the rack bolts to the bed rails on the inside, so I don't think I have too much to worry about, just trying to get a second opinion. Here are a few pics:

 

The only issue I see is the possibility of the tent mounting hardware touching/wearing on your soft top. Also, depending on the size tent you purchase there may be an issue with fitment (length) of the mounting rails on the bottom of the tent meeting your bed rack rails.

 

Sb and long bed are different lengths not widths, lol, is that rack bent?

 

Thanks for the thoughts! There are also two bars running perpendicular to the cross bars on the roof of the rack. I wonder if mounting on those would be an option.

On a short bed, the top of the bed's actually a little wider (towards the front of the truck). No it's not bent. The back of the bed actually comes in near the rear, just like a long bed, but not until a foot back

 

Thats awesome!

 

Here's a pic of the top of the rack

Worse case scenario I can mount it to my Prinsu rack, but I'd rather go over the bed so I can get in and out of my cab should I use the annex

 

FYI: Don't know about others, but the CVT annex has a very large zippered door that opens on the truck side. Makes it very easy to get into the vehicle from the annex!

 

Good to know. I'm planning on getting the mt shasta. I'm thinking I may get less drag as well with it on the back

 

I have a CVT awning mounted on the side of my Front runner rack. I was packing it down this weekend and when i went to tighten one of the nylon straps on the exterior of the case it snapped.... Any ideas on how i can fix it?

 

I carry a bunch of these NRS Cam Straps with me in different lengths, not sure if this would help or not.

YUP what Drainbung said! Cam Buckles seem to work nicely... Here's one on my tent.

 

NRS straps are the shit, and not all that expensive either. Take care of them and they'll last forever.
