RTT bars

Arc 1 industries built me some really nice bars . They are out of Vancouver and Mike is great to deal with. So if you need some bars these are the ones you should consider.

 

I'm not sure your third post should be advertising for a vendor who does not sponsor the forum.

It looks suspicious.

If you had been a member longer I would not have mentioned it.

 

All good just happy with my purchase

 

They do look good. I have heard that bed stiffeners were a must when balancing weight over the bed sides, but I have to assume this design applies downward force vs. outward force. If correct, this may be a design that works well without bed stiffeners.

I purchased the Diamondback cover, and have not added bed stiffeners because I feel the weight is spread across the full bed rails and applied downward.

 

I think I'm getting some bed stiffeners just to be safe. I have tried to research it but get both sides of the story, so for $150 for stiffeners seems ok. Thanks for your feedback

 

Bars look solid, I would recommend putting rubber, or some kind of insulation in between the plate and the bed rail cap to prevent damage to the rail cap.

 

Yes I will , just bought them bare steel going to spray with bed liner

 

I run bed stiffeners with my DB, ran them when I had a camper shell too. Added peace of mind with the RTT up there, and if you get the Total Chaos, adds a ton of tie down points which I use almost every day.

 

Sick setup that what I'm going for you ever come to Vancouver island show ya some trails

 

Those are sick love the detail on the bed rail. Nice tie down points
