RTT on 3rd Gen. 4 Runner by Irbis Offroad

[IRBIS]

We purchase Roof Top Tents right before I got sick and we finally found the time to put them on. The 4 Runner roof is not as strong as the Land Cruiser one and we had to reinforce the existing luggage rack rails from inside and tried to build the frame for the RTT set-up as low as possible. After the reinforcement on the roof was done we welded a few aluminum cross bars and brackets and I think the entire project came off light, strong and low profile.

Here is a picture of the tent closed and some pictures of when we took it on a field trip.

I am interested in how you reinforced the rails from the inside. Do you have pictures showing what you did?

Sorry, I don't have pictures. It's basically metal Z- shaped bracket welded to the side roof rail and supports the luggage rack bracket. Easy to do. Most of the time is spent to removing the roof liner and part of the interior panels. When I do the next one I will snap the pictures.
