RCI bed rack GB Closed

Mine had been done for days just have to go pick it up. Got an email Thursday

 

nice...hopefully i'll get the email next week!
bed stiffeners went on today in anticipation...

 

Did a local pick up today. I'm not disappointed...

 

well you made quick work of that install...
any helpful hints?
which tepui tent model? new?

 

That was fast! Hopefully I get an email soon. I'm expecting my tent I this week.

 

The install took about an hour. The instructions were very straight forward. The only thing I would have done different is to not order the extra brace. I ended up not needing it for my RTT. I ended up getting the Tepui Ruggedized Kukenam Sky, which is the complete opposite of my goal to keep it light weight but the REI discount was way too good to pass up.

 

I ordered the extra support.

 

Ahhhhh! I want mine! I ordered like the 2nd or 3rd day of the GB, but I am not picking up. Hopefully it will ship soon.

 

I am also waiting on my RTT. I finally decided on a Freespirit Recreation medium tent. Here is what it looks like (obviously not going on a trailer though)

 

Got mine locally picked up today and installed in under and hour. Really straight forward. So far I'm not seeing a reason to get the additional brace either. Don't have a tent yet but I'll remedy that soon. I am super impressed with the quality of the rack. Powder coat is well done too.

 

My tent is due in Friday, but no tracking info for the rack yet...

 

I called RCI today and they will be shipping my rack this week. Found out my tent will also ship this week so I should have a full setup by the middle of next week! I'll be sure to post pics

 

nice everyone...!
yes - called rci yesterday & received the shipping confirmation email this afternoon...
expected here friday by ups.
btw...within this couple of weeks i will be adding about 300# with the rack, rtt, and receiver hitch...not to mention camping gear - any ideas if an add a leaf may needed?
this may never stop

 

Looking sharp bro!

 

I have a leaf already installed and I still have slight rake after installing both my rack and tent (220 lbs). I think I can comfortably get away with another 100-150 lbs before the rear starts to sag. Too bad (or good) I already ordered dakars before waiting to see how it'd turn out.

 

Looks great!

I have an update on my RTT. The Freespirit model I ordered was out of stock so they are offering me any one of their Extreme Series tents for 15% off, so I will be getting this one.

It's larger and has upgraded material. It is pretty much the same size as a queen size bed, but it does weigh a little more. Freespirit is located in Bend, OR and has been good to work with so far, so check them out.

 

Nice tent, looks really rugged based on the specs.

 

Just received tracking info!

 

Me too! Mine will be at my door tomorrow night and my tent should come in next week!

 

Thanks guys I appreciate it! I am loving it so far! Need to get a tent I am leaning toward the free spirit as well. I checked out the yakima and I dont think its rugged enough for me.
