    Hello! I got a soft roof tent (this one: https://www.costco.com/silverwing-swt80s-2-person-roof-top-tent.product.100528166.html). It requires roof rack cross bars. I have OEM Tacoma Roof rack installed. It that strong enough to hold the tent? If not, the alternative would be the bed bars. Can you recommend the bars that can be installed to the bed without removing tonneau cover (I have Tacoma OEM Hard Tri-Fold one). Thank you!

    Not sure about the factory roof rack ability. I've seen Prinsu roof racks hold rtt's though. In regards to bed bars/rack that you can mount and still use the factory tonneau, pretty sure KB Voodoo is the only one that has a simple bolt on kit. That's what I have and it works great.

    Ya, it was amazing up there. Temps were easily 20-30 degrees cooler than down in Phoenix. I was home for half a day and I'm already ready to go back, ha.

    The load limit is 100 pounds on the OEM rack. How much does the tent weight? How much do you weigh?

    In other words, no.

    Yup... Prinsu racks can hold RTT. I have racks on mine and I plan to get RTT soon.
