Hey guys,
I found a local German shop that is going to help me with tubing for my roof rack. I need to get my Technitop RTT out of my room and on the jeep! Lol! Unfortunately, the instructions that came with the tent are... Lame? So since i am creating the mounting point from scratch i could use some pics and advice. I know a lot of folks talk about using this or that rack or these companies mounting bars ( like Thule) but my question is how? Most discussions seem to center around mounting them to the vehicle. I need intel on mounting the tent to part "X". Seems a roof "basket" wouldn't be big enough to let the tent mount inside? And if it did it did it wouldn't open rearwards without striking to top bar of an average basket. And what to use for a floor/spreader/mounting bars? Ideally i will mount the tent on the rear half and use the front part of the rack for gear and whatnot. I want the tent to open rearwards to create an awning of sorts.
So if anyone has good pics of how they affix their RTT (ESP a tecnitop) to whatever, i would greatly appreciate it! Thanks guys... Cheers!
