    Hello all,

    I currently have a Diamondback SE, and I want to mount some bars to it for a RTT. We're looking at the iKamper mini.

    I'm looking for suggestions on good crossbars for my truck to mount the RTT to. Mostly I've been finding the KB Voodoo as the only option, but I'm thinking there must be more out there:

    https://www.kbvoodoo.com/shop/toyot...-use-with-tonneau-covers-fits-years-2005-2016

    I was thinking about grabbing the FrontRunner system that Diamondback sells on their site, but with the tent, plus myself and my wife and gear, we'd be just over the 400 pound weight rating for the SE (tent about 125lb, Wife and myself about 300lbs)

    Any other good options for this setup?

    Thank you all!

    I use the kbvoodoo bars with my Diamondback and Tepui RTT. It works really well. The only issue is that it can be a bit of a pain to have to install the bars every time you want to go camping. Eventually my fiance and I agreed we'd be better off with a rooftop tent on a trailer so we can get up and go a little quicker.

    Thanks Race, I'm glad to hear the bars worked out for you, that is probably what we'll end up doing then. Glad to hear it from someone who's currently using them.

    I like the idea of a rooftop tent on a trailer for convenience, if only I had the space!
