H3T Truck bed rack for RTT

[evldave]

Thanks! whats the point of buying one if you dont use it! I love the T though you should switch

With 65k on my 3, and starting to get into constant-maintenance issues (front axle seal leak, bushing replacements, sloppy steering column), I'm seriously starting to think about it...maybe after the Hollister rally (when I win another Expedition Trophy :victory I'll go test drive a few.

One thing I was though, would be a Flip-Pac or similar...I can sleep in the back of the 3 pretty easy (me + 2 dogs), and would want the same flexibility with the T. Have you looked at campers/Flip-Pacs for the T?

those h3ts are not cheap. specially the alpha ones wow and not even easy to find one., but it is one sweet truck that comes off road ready.

red makes it look even better

Ya I wish I could have afforded the alpha but the standard one with Adventure package gets the job done. And I do like how it looks in the pictures (red) but its actually orange just not when taken with an iphone camera haha

Well Im just kind of double posting this since Ive been discussing the rack on two threads but for those interested I picked this up this weekend! I had to take the tent off the rack alone this morning so I could work on it. After crushing myself underneath it the first time I decided I would need another person to get it back on. I had to drill new holes and re mount the cross bars to fit the new tent but I finally got it together and had one of my buddies drive out to help get it on. Sorry for it looking somewhat rumpled I didnt have the back tied down.

That is the slickest H3T I've seen.. First time I saw 'em I didn't care for them and I mostly still don't, but the bed rack changes the entire look of the truck.. I've sene one other one with a RTT, but they stuck it up on the cab and let it fold out over the front when deployed.. Having the rack over the bed gives stuff in the bed a bit of shade and protection from the sun.. Yeah I'm thinking ice chests..

The more I'm looking at it the more I'm digging everything about the setup.. Especially having the roof rack right beside you.. Could set a small propane heater up on the rack and have it pointing in the tent window.. Or a small AC unit if you're near electricity.. Put a ice chest up there and have access to cold water or what not at night without having to climb down.. Or just a place to toss anything you need out of the tent and still have decent access to it..

Hey thanks for the positive comments! Ya I love being able to haul stuff with the truck bed but it really is a royal pain how there is no room in the cab for storage. Im eventually going to swap the back seat with a fridge and storage whenever I go camping but for now you are right the shade will help with the ice chest. I actually wouldnt have even thought about that! I always loved how the roof tents looked over truck beds and with it evening out the weight and still allowing the use of my roof rack for storage this seemed the most practical. Oh and I plan on using the ability to set things on the rack from the tent to the fullest! Always nice to be able to stay in your tent on a cold night!

I am really impressed with this tent. From talking to the previous owner it appears this tent has seen a lot in its day including a curious elephant in Africa. (wish I had been there for that!) I expected the tent to be more worn but to my surprise it looks, smells, and feels brand new. Great tent! Now I just have to get out and use it

I'm in mid cities, Bedford to be exact. Where's your family live that you visit?

 

[bldeagle10]

Well If you want to work on mine go ahead

btw, looking sexy with that RTT.

I went camping last weekend to test out the tent and get away from everything before school started.

Was planning on a quiet night reading an old copy of OJ and enjoying the view

That didnt last very long when a group of ten girls throwing a birthday party stumbled upon my campsite and asked to see my tent. They then insisted I eat with them and celebrate. Who was I to turn down cake I went to bed early to watch the sunrise the next morning
