*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

Sorry if this has already been covered but a search didn't turn anything up...

I'm considering making the move to an RTT and looking at going with a mid-height rack. Is anyone running a short bed rack on a long bed? Does it work okay?

Also anyone know anything about the Tuff Stuff bed rack? The price is right and looks pretty solid, plus free shipping.

Any input is appreciated!

 

It most definitely is built better. I’ve put mine through insane wind storms in the desert and heavy rain down at the beach. Never had any issues. We stayed completely dry in the rain while everyone else was starting to have issues (we had the only rtt).

 

I've been looking at this tent too and considered this rack setup from front runner. How stable/safe does it feel with it mounted right into the factory rails? Do you notice any issues?

 

@ragofabrication makes awesome stuff their “blemish” items are negligible errors. Absolutely recommend their products.

I have the @ragofabrication mid level overland rack in my DCLB. I’ve yet to set everything up but from what I’ve seen it’s all the same functionality wise.

 

Anybody here have tips or advice for changing out the cover straps for CVT/Tepui style tents? I need something stronger. I'm tired of my CVT filling up like a balloon at highway speeds.

I prefer the lashing straps like these with the fabric pad/protector behind the buckle to protect the cover when pulling tight.

 

@boulderoffroader ever mount the other way?

 

I did it haha. I've been in the 1st gen for a few months now. Although I do miss the tech of the 3rd gen, loving the practicality of the 1st. Having an insurance payment under $100 is a perk as well

 

swapped from the sliding ladder and swapped the side straps.





anyone know the difference between the Pioneer cover and the Summit? I am assuming less ladder space as the telescoping takes up much less space? My cover currently is pretty loose now around the ladder area, i dont want it ballooning on me while driving.

 

Finally pulled the trigger on a Roam Adventure Co Vagabond 4--- will let ya know the quality when I get it in.

Plus the frame is "Curved for sex appeal."

 

Where did you get the ladder from?

 

CVT

 

This whole thread has me harder than a diamond in an ice storm..

No homo.

 

May as well throw this out - Goal was cheap and below roof cab line. Total spent was $808 for bars and tent. Annoying to setup and I always close it with my glasses in the side pocket and have to reopen it haha

 

Added a homemade annex to the habitat.

 

Do you have a building permit for that rig? That's huge.

 

Taking it out this weekend so I’ll let you know the results. There are a few on here with same setup and have said it holds up fine

 

Nice thanks

Anybody got recommendations on cheap Leveling Blocks or ramps?? Going for budget on these
