*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Thought about bushings just something to wear and the tube connectors are a good idea but the rack would have to bealid into place before bolting it in

 

Dakars!!

 

No way! That's crazy expensive.

 

Best purchase to date.

 

dakar aal or complete new pack? is this what you have for your setup?
thx

 

I have icons aal but planning on full Dakar pack for the near future.

 

Thanks! They are from SOS Offroad Concepts. I think the height is perfect for the gear we carry. @JimboAnz @EddyRRT

 

The std height bars put top of RTT about even with top of roof. You can get mid height bars, just add in comments when ordering, thats what I have. adds some room in bed for stuff, but does put top of RTT above cab height maybe 6" or so.

 

Got the Tuff Stuff Ranger mounted and opened her up for a driveway test run. This thing is awesome and I'll get to use it out in the field this coming weekend.

 

Welcome to the GA RTT club!

 

Well have to do a camping trip in the fall with all of us westside peeps.

 

For sure! When it's not as hot we can hit up Trey Mtn. and do some wheeling too

 

I have a bedrac from Prinsu, Mt. Shasta, Pelfreybilt rear bumper and water tanks in the bed. So I'm probably a little heavier than you. With full dakar pack, I was pretty much leveled. I got the extra leaf from dakar and the rake is back, even when loaded down completely. I think the extra leaf product No. is DX29, but I may be mistaken. You can google or search in here for it.

 

Highly recommend going with the Dakar full leaf pack if you plan on running a heavy load in the back. I went with the 096R (heavy duty) leaf pack. I was running the Icon AAL and then added a RTT along with a new bumper. Here's a before and after to give you an idea.

After adding weight (using Icon AAL)



After adding the new leaf pack (Dakar 096R)

 

I don't think the bushings would wear out if just being used to mount the RTT. Figure it would take forever even if they did.

Could do heims, but $$$$ adds up fast with that route.

For reference, I'm talking something like this

 

I'll look to find the best price. Diy4x had some decent ones a while ago

 

At Sapiago Springs outside of Pioneer, CA this weekend at a music festival, right before crowds got there. I also drove 700+ miles with that bike hanging off the back of my truck. I had to pick it up from San Francisco on the way to the festival.

 

Refining the setup each time out. Super happy with the Teton mammoth sleeping bag, even nicer that I'm able to keep in in the tent when I pack up.

 

dang turbosmitty....nice outfit there indeed!
how is the ride (on & offroad as compared to stock) with the replacement full dakar pack?
& did i say nice rig??
thx

 

The old tent is looking good. I see you ordered a hard shell. looking forward to your build
