Just hit 20k on the ODO and installed half of my Frontrunner RTT Quick Release bits that just came in. Camping trip in a month to test this new hardware.

Interesting, does it have a locking mechanism to where you would need a key or what not? Would love to have this on my ikamper. I have the same rack as you.

I saw they have one specifically for the iKamper. The sell cable locks like this but it's hardly going to stop someone with ill intent.

I'm not to concerned as the reason I purchased was to easily remove it when not in use.

That Rebel Offroad half-rack is stout! 0 complaints so far.

Cool, have you attempted to mount the roof top tent?

Definitely agree with you on the Rebel Offroad half rack!

35s!

It's not a huge change, but it definitely looks like the size it should have come with.

I mounted my ROAM RTT once for a trip with the included hardware but then upon unmounting found that I over tightened the bolts (because paranoia relating to a flying rooftop tent on the freeway). Took me 3 hours with a dremel and a carbide bit to chew through the nuts to get the damn thing off. The language was colorful that day.. Not a lot of room under the roam cross rails to work because of the u-channel shape.

Next step is mounting the new feet to the RTT rails. Should be cake as long as my measurements are accurate. Worst case I'll get it up on the rack and sit it so its offset from the rails and adjust as necessary.

Fingers crossed it functions as designed as I can't find really any consumer feedback even though they've been out a while. I'll post up some thoughts after my trip end of next month.

Installed the Revolver X4s bed cover. Kit was missing a few washers, and the diagrams weren't always great.. but all in all not too bad. First Jeep, first mod!

Great looking mod. Really like the BAK Revolver your dark Glad. I just installed one a couple weeks ago. Easy install and great features. I like that when the rolled up/open position you still have visibility out the back.

oh man! I would have done the same most probably. One of my paranoia when I mounted my ikamper to the rack.

I will look for your post as I'm definitely thinking of adding these to my rack to be able to easily unmount the roof top tent. Good luck ?

I like the clean look.
How is it installed/fastened/secured/attached? (*choose one)
Thank you. I looked all over the interwb for something that has clean lines and not over bearing. They built what I envisioned.

It is fastened directly to the threaded holes in the bed. The holes may be there for the rail system, which I do not have. It is not mounted to survive a roll over. The tubing is, the DOM is thicker than the Jeep roll bar, but it would probably rip itself away from the bed.
