*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

yeah I think that's actually higher than mine!

 

holy shitballs batman you're tall! I'm a foot shorter than you and always have to do it alone..

 

agreed, martin off road rack looks stronger

 

Currently sitting at about 93-94inches unloaded last I checked... depending on what I'm hauling

 

I'll have to measure mine. Not actually sure of the height.

 

Y’all think Thule May start making Tepui tents in USA? Or still import from China? Thule has several factories in the USA already. 75% of their products made in North America.

 

I'm gonna get flamed, but I hope they don't.

They already have a good product and all the tooling, etc established and happy customers. Why change that? All that happens if they go to the US is the cost goes up. Margin on products is never allowed to go down, so that means sales price must increase to support increased labor and overhead charges.

 

More expensive than they already are...

 

Exactly.

 

Thule specifically said in the press release about the purchase that they won't be changing anything at tepui. Even keeping an old owner on as manager of the 'tent division'

 

That's good news...although I've heard that tag line before from murders & executions mergers & acquistions before

 

Agreed. We'll see how long they can keep their mitts out of it

 

Based on my years working in finance departments...10ish minutes

 

It was as though someone had taken the brightest yellow paint available, mixed it with sunlight, and spread it throughout the landscape. We were truly lucky to be here - a week before or after and we'd have missed this spectacular display!

You boys think I'll be good to run a rack & RTT on my truck for about a month before I get suspension? Or should I just wait..

 

I may be biased , but you'll be fine. One of the things I see people do all the time is "just wait to finish the next thing" and then never actually get out an explore. An RTT will make exploring so much more comfortable and enjoyable that waiting on that seems silly.

 

It's probably like 300 pounds tops, so I'm sure you'll be fine. My RTT, rack, and weeks worth of gear squats the bed a little bit, but it doesn't seem to have caused any ill effects.

 

HAHAH, PM coming your way sir. I bought one on black friday and I've been dying to put it on... cant wait any longer....

 

I ran mine for well over a year before I got my kings and dakars. You'll be fine. Let me know if you need/want install help.

 

You'll be fine for sure...I run mine on stock suspension...little bit of sagging in the back but it actually makes the truck look leveled.
And I really dont have plans for upgrading suspension anytime soon. (Unless someone can tell me reasons why I should)
