    Default Mounting ARB RTT to Frontrunner rack?

    So, I picked up a used ARB RTT the other week. (thank you Pat!) And, I'm looking to mount on Frontrunner windcheetah rack. The challenge is how to mount for side deployment, when mounting rails are in parallel with rack rails?

    I've done a little search but nothing I've found addresses the challenge.

    Anyone?

    Thnx

    Is it possible to spin the tents mounting rails on a 90* axis?

    Think:
    11
    22

    to

    12
    12

    Or remove the tents rails and mount directly to rack, via the holes in tent floor?

    Remove the rails from the bottom of the tent and remount them. When you buy the tent new the instructions instruct you to do just that depending on how you want the tent to sit on your roof. In fact I believe there were no holes in the floor of the tent and you have to drill them. Just leave a nut and bolt in the old holes if you're worried about it.
