*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

I hate the velcro. Especially with the mattress topper and sleeping bag. I got some pull straps from the CVT summit series for the outside. Will install next time I have the tent off the truck. But for now this is my solution since the velcro ripped off lol.


I found that a ratchet strap fit just fine.

 

It appears my Amazon order is one of those slow boat from China so I don't get my parts for a month.

 

haha. I'm definitely not fat. just short n stocky good to know that 50" is fine for you, I think the Shasta will be plenty for me, in a good way

 

I have the Shasta Summit series on my 6' ARE CX cap. No extra bracing. No issues so far. I have it mounted on a Prinsu rack so the weight is distributed pretty well.

 

Velcro is the fabric of SATIN! I'm gonna hold back a bit, but I FUCKING HATE VELCRO! It fucking sticks to every-fucking-thing that you don't want it to. THEN, at it's fucking leisure it decides that it's not going to stick where the FUCK it's supposed to. Fuck velcro and the cocksucker that invented it! Ten deep breaths and I'm done now....

 

Has anyone used this system to lift their RTT with Bedrack?

I have a total of 195.6 lbs:

• Bed rack is 65.5 lbs
• RTT is 93 lbs
• Double Sleeping Bag is 9.7 lbs
• Prep Table is 22.1 lbs
• Under Rack Bracket is 5.3 lbs

Wanted to see if someone has done it. If my math is right, it's possible, but wanted to be sure.

 

Im getting a Harkin Hoist installed this Friday. Im not sure if its like what you have posted, but I will definitely know more Friday

 

My main concern is the weight. Let me know how the Harkin Hoist works out. Are you installing it yourself?

 

The same company that did my garage epoxy floors, hanging storage, and shelving is doing it for me. http://www.garagemonkeyz.com/ and yeah, the weight is my concern as well.

 

Nice little weekend at Lake Cle Elum in the Lexxi (Lexeseses?)

 

great shot
every now & then i miss my GX... Just wouldn't have been able to fit 315/75s as easily.

 

Thanks man. I just want something comfortable to bomb around and camp in. I'll probably put 285s and a nice lift on it and call it a day.

 

i miss the full-time AWD, much better winter-weather manners than my Taco has. Great vehicles

 

Hard to hoon with AWD tho haha

 

It's nice when you can fish 10 feet from your tent!

 

That what I thought. I wired in constant power to the cap yesterday so I think I'm going to be good to go.

 

I am looking into these as well. The highest I've found is 200 pound capacity and my tent has a shipping weight of 235 pounds. I'm worried it will be too much even after unpacking it.

 

I have the

$213 HARKEN - Truck Cap Overhead Garage Storage Hoist, Self-Leveling, Safe Anti-Drop System, Easy One-Person Operation, Smart Garage Organization

Harkin Host for my 180lbs tent and I leave the rails attached when I pull it off the truck. Also leave pillows and bedding in the tent, No issues so far.
