Looking for info on overland racks and tents.

Sweet, we got a bunch of great people in this area. Here are some of the local threads if your lookin to BS, do some wrenching, or go wheeling.

Depending on when your looking to get them I will probably have my bedbars for sale this winter. Building a flatbed for myself

 

I ended up buying a rack and tent Sunday. I'll post it after I get it set up

 

Thats great. Just in time for fall

 

Make sure you post in/start a build thread

 

Cant vouch for voodoo’s stuff enough. Quality and bulletproof. Good customer service too.

 

I've never had a RTT because the places I use choose to put my tent are pretty far away from any place a truck can go. As I'm getting older that's changing and I may get a rtt. I agree with taco Tuesday that the less moving parts the better. Solid welded bed bars that you can remove by your self is nice if you plan to change your set up often. I have low bars and tall bars. Heavy metal off road makes them. If you plan to do a soft rtt or what I call a hard clam shell then the low will help with mpg, and lower center of gravity if you plan to do more complicated wheeling trips. But a wedge on the higher bars is much faster to set up. On that subject a hard shell in general is faster to setup and take down vs a soft. Aluminum will stand up to elements longer than plastic. So that's things to factor in when buying as well.
