    not to take away from the original review of the tent, but my tent is 7" longer than the long bed. FSR M49. Its meant for a full roof like a Jeep or a 4runner

    @NewTaco76 I was trying to find anything on the xl mounted on a long bed. Did you end up getting one or no?

    I have the XL sitting in my dining room. Will be installing when the weather warms up.

    What Are the dimensions of the mounting brackets/bars of the tent? I have an @KB Voodoo and don't know if it will fit the rack dimension

    I couldn' t tell you that. It's still boxed up. Waiting for the snow to melt. I know it's not longer than the bed though. And I'm putting on the premium Kb voodoo as well.

    Awesome. That's boxed up too. It'll be like Xmas when I get to them.

    I thought I could leave my backflip cover on and just fold it to the window but forgot it covers the rail which I'll need for the voodoo.

    @KB Voodoo may say what covers are compatible on their site with the cover adapter bracket. I am going to order the brackets and a cover, as the weather in New England is unpredictable and the access cab doesn't have space for all my gear lol

    they also may give you an extra inch to move the tent closer to the cab if needed

    Cool. It's a huge tent. Should be perfect. If you install before me take pics. I'll do the same.

    Of course, as we have no snow left and I should have a bay to work in whenever I get around to ordering it. Also, @Sociopenguin and others may be curious.

    Thanks for review! I had no idea I could get a brand new RTT for such a price. Just read about a Christmas sale when they had em for $599! How heavy is the setup?
