*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

My CVT Mt.Shasta Extended Summit Series on my 3rd gen, spent my first night in it last night. A GREAT nights sleep! Can't wait for a trip in two weeks!!

 

mobile party palace right there!

 

They order the key for me. I couldn't find the part number for it on the website. It was $48 for the socket and you can use it on 5/16 or 3/8 nuts.

I found you the link for the socket

Looks great! Welcome to the #cvtfamily

 

Love photos like this. In Montana?

 

So, I ordered a FSR original large tent from Tim at FSR. It should be in on Thursday. Tim was very helpful and even sent a video of him opening the tent with one hand. The size large opens to 78" x 96". When closed it will sit right over my long box. I'm super excited to join all of you in the RTT world and I already have 3 trips planned!! I found FSR in the group buy on this site.

Thanks all!

 

Didn't stop to say hi to me

 

@doreydeluxe

Here is a picture of the security nuts and the u shape exhaust clamps we used. i hope this helps

 

Where'd you get the exhaust clamps?

 

Advance auto. There are like $2.00 a piece and the black door seal to cover edges on the clamp was another $2.00. 1 can of black paint and good to go. Spent lest that $15 on these things.

 

I like that exhaust clamp idea. I was never really happy with using the normal flat u bolt washers and bending them around the bar when tightening the nuts up.

 

It works pretty good. I know what you mean with bending those. I also had te problem of the rtt moving sideways during short trips. After we did the clamps with then rubber piece never had to adjusted or moved again

 

I just got longer bolts that way I didn't have to bend the metal piece

 

My bolts are plenty long enough but the tent didn't feel secure without torqueing it down to the point the flat washer bent.

 

Oh I gothca, yeah my tent doesn't move and the washer is still fine

 

ill probably be doing something similar!! nice work

 

Same. Although I have square bars.

 

That's what I want to upgrade to my current rack is literally a piece of shit. I can fit my finger in between the rack support and my bed. I shoved a lot of washers in there to help a little
