    Very helpful! Thanks! It looks like you have 3 supports in the middle like mine.

    What I think im going to do is bolt the tent directly to the cap, without a roof rack. I want to eventually have a internal skeleton bolted to the bed bolts, and almost touching the cap, for some extra support. The tent is ~105lbs, and I am 230. I hope/think the cap can hold that weight

    Building an internal skeleton would be easy...

    i think your cap is fine, static weight is not a problem for caps. I had 2 people and my tiny pup in the tent at one point and no bends.

    Ill be ordering the FSR M49 after the cc statement comes on the 25th. Whether the other tent sells or not. I need a tent!

    I think since he's somewhat local to me, he's going to bring her down to see an RTT in person for the first time then see where it goes from there.
