Bed mounted RTT

[enzo]

I'm going to be picking up a RTT next week for my Tacoma DC short bed. I'm planning on mounting over the bed using the c channels and the tops of the bedrails. For inspiration purposes (lol)does anyone have any pics of their bed mounted RTT? Thanks in advance.

What year Tacoma?? (I'm assuming 05+ since it's a DC SB) Also where in VA are you located??

I *had* a bed mounted RTT - I had a buddy of mine machine supports that bolted into the rails so I had two beefy "crossbars" plus on bedtop on the right to support the tent.

I'll see if I can dig out some pictures this weekend.

Really the person you need to ask for pictures from is TACODOC. He had a rack with a 2nd Gen before he moved to the Flip-pac.

I have my tent mounted no Thule Canopy racks. I haven't had any problems with this set up and it allows to have a locked and dry bed.

I am looking at modding this:

It can mount into bed rail system. These are the increments for the height adjustments on the Xsporter 28.5'', 24'', 20", 15.5" and 11".

I just finished mounting mine to the bed of my old GMC, it works well for me.

I like having the tent up off the rails to access cargo, but not too high so that it feels top heavy or in the wind.
