    Is there such a thing as a ½ roof rack, ½ chase rack/roll bar combo for a roof top tent?

    I want to keep the front ½ of my roof open for my sunroof, while also leaving room in my bed so I can access my tool chest and still carry my gear.

    I'm imagining something like a VanGuard or Black Horse Atlas Roll Bar, that also extends over the rear half of the roof...

    This won't really work for a RTT - your bed and cab flex separately. So as you drive the RTT will be getting torqued if it's bolted to both the cab and bed

    I think the intent is to have the tent "hang" over the back 1/2 of the roof while being anchored by the bed.

    They've got some cool stuff, but not really what I'm looking for
