    Yakima SkyRise RTT

    All things being said: It's a solid setup. Much of this discussion was based around materials. How will it last... etc. These are all synthetics. UV light kills em all. The more we have them out, the more they degrade. Which is why..... they all come with covers. Those are all made of the same...

    Yakima SkyRise RTT

    We got one in and I set it up. Mounting hardware is solid enough. Made to fit Yakima aero profile bars, (which would work with just about everything else) supplied are inserts to fit square and round bars. It's nice. It's cozy. I fit two big dudes in the two man, (me being one of em, I wear a...

    Another separate point to be made is also about the Vehicles. Not heights. Maybe purpose.... The portal has an interview with the folks at Turtle Expeditions. They are currently using an F-550(?). Many Americans use Trucks, Some SUVs, Jeeps, Etc. The Jeep, the FJ, and the Land Rover started as...

    Yakima SkyRise RTT

    I agree. Let's come at it from another angle. Yakima decides to enter the fray. Why? Maybe it's because everyone is putting up RTT's on what is usually a Yakima base rack anyway. Maybe it's because they see that they have a huge portion of the market share of dealer locations and this is a way...

    Yakima SkyRise RTT

    Another aside to this discussion. If one is using the average 4Runner for over landing use, the roof, while the car is driving is only recommended to take up to 165 lbs in load. Now, I know that we go way beyond that. That most of the European Overlanding base vehicles are built in a more...

    Yakima SkyRise RTT

    Also, I should declare, I am a Yakima retailer here. Actually, I should say, I install all the damn things. Yakima has two nice things a car camper might want with this. Things that could apply to an overlander as well. One pertains to the theft deferment systems. Yakima uses compatibility in...
