    Give @EddyRRT @ SOS Concepts a shout. He could probably whip you up a couple bed bars for cheap...it would be enough to mount your RTT for your trip.

    Is it possible to borrow one from a fellow tw member in your area that may not need it for that weekend? Then you're not out any money. Maybe a little for rental or beer or such. But allot cheaper and easier to do it this way rather than buying another and praying for it to be there in time

    All pro tends to put lower lead times up so you will buy then won't ship out till almost double the lead time and that's after you bother them a bunch. It's just how they tend to run their business. It sucks but that's why they have so many bad reviews

    We literally have one and it’s potentially sold. I invoiced a guy in the great white north today for the final one but he’s yet to pay for it.

    Thanks for the tag, but unfortunately I can't get one out that fast. I'm currently behind on lead times myself from a family emergency.

    I really appreciate all of the help guys, vendors especially, but it doesn't look like I can get one pre-fabbed in time. All lead times are 6-8 weeks, or the cost is just more than I can swallow. That CVT was enough of a hit to the wallet, but its a badass tent though! I will hit up my local exhaust shop tomorrow to see if they can bend up some tubes for me. Thanks again TW!

    You could draw something up and take it to a local welder ( hint not an off road fabricator). When I asked a reputable Toyota fabricator if he could make his bed bars 4 inches taller and how fast would it take to get them back to me, my answer was: “ no it couldn’t happen, but you could buy my normal ones and they be there in over a month”. So I took one of his bars to a little place called lawnmowers etc. in Dana point and asked him the same thing. He had the bars done within a week to my spec, and half the price. Just Google welding and your town,Those folks put food on the table by doing odd jobs half the time

    Have you checked out the Indiana sub forum on here? You could probably jump into some BS threads over there and ask for assistance from folks local to you. People can be very generous.

    Not bro enough. Doesn't weigh enough, doesn't take up enough bed space, and it's too easy to set up, let alone way to convenient to get in and out of.

    Also, you can't set it up in the middle of a river/lake where the only acceptable camp sites are located.

    Check with Eric @RelentlessFab

    They have cost effective low pro bed bars for roof top tents and baskets that are usually in stock.

    Snarky comments are always appreciated so much! I just bought a CVT for about 2000 dollars. I would like to use it. The door is over there.

    Seriously though 2 pieces of 1.5” with 4 bends total, welded to 4 pieces of angle with some holes drilled isn’t rocket surgery. Couple of crossmembers and it’s a bed rack.

    Sorry mate, just how I feel about 99% of RTTs.
    Dude was just giving you a sound alternative to save your vacation. Hell, get one at Walmart and return it after your trip and it's free and then you'll have your Allpro rack.
    Or make one yourself like others suggested. Seems like you can weld so the rest is cake

    I bought a RTT because that's what I wanted. I don't care what anyone else thinks about them. I can weld. Now I have to.
    All because a shitty company lies about what they can do. I can assure you I won't build a rack, then get the allpro.

    And did you seriously recommend renting something from walmart, that I know I will only return later on. That's pretty shitty.

    @riverrockar Lots of good help here, weed through the rest. Your RTT will be a nice setup when you get there!
