    Awesome thank you for the reply I’m currently looking at the lfd off Road three-quarter rack and I’m curious to see if anyone has a RtT on it. Looking at the tuff 4x4

    What size rack? There’s seems to be more than one. Do you have a link?

    It’s the steel flat rack 70x44 without mesh. It was about $600, but if I could do it again I’d get the prinsu full length non drill version for another $3-400. It works, but the tent takes up the whole rack and I’d like to be able to utilize the rest of the roof. That said I’m not willing to spend anymore money on another rack. It just works, but I have had an issue with the feet rubbing on the paint of my roof and causing a little rust. I’ve since fixed it, but it was a whole day of taking everything off and reinstalling after sanding and painting the roof again. 8A92DBDB-D9D9-4827-BFAE-50F93505056F.jpgIt was any easy fix, I just added a piece of rubber to the back side of the rack where it was contacting and now it’s not going to do that anymore. So weigh the pros and cons of a roof rack and just pick the best one you can so that you only have to do this once.
