RTT meets taco

pray4surf · 05-31-2009, 05:16 AM

Picked up a smaller CampingLab RTT about a month ago and finally hooked up with a local fabricator who churned out this pretty cool rack to carry the tent.

I was inspired from other racks I found searching various forums.

1-1/2" .090 HREW tube for the basic rack structure
1"x2" 1/8"T box for the actual RTT to rack connection.
1-1/2"x2" 1/8"T angle for the bedrail connection.

And with the tent stowed.

I give a lot of props to the fabricator, Brian. I had heard good things about his work. He was more than willing to take my vision and make it happen. Brian has produced a lot of high quality parts for the CT crowd and is looking to start branching out into the off-road world. He has some more pics and commentary here:

Very nice.
I would do the same too if I had a Tacoma, or mount it on a CanBack.
Both are good options.

I posted some cool custom rack setups for trucks in the roof top tent thread in the camping section.

I bet you will enjoy sleeping in that.
