Zroadz Bed Rack with ikamper Skycamp 2.0

[Maximus86]

Hi Guys

Finally, all our bed rack parts from zroadz plus our roof tent from Ikamper have arrived! We live in New Zealand so shipping during covid takes a loooong time... Anhow, all the excitement could washed away when we tried to install the tent on our bed rack. We ordered the extra crossbars as the rack from zroadz is slightly lower than the roof of our Gladiator and the iKamper Skycamp is longer than the back of the truck. So far so good but when we tried to mount the bed, we found out that the crossbars are to deep for the clamps of the iKamper mounting brackets.

Anyone having the same issue and knows how to fix it? We could buy new crossbars but really don't want to spend extra money. So trying to work out whether we can attach it safely with what we have.

Any tip is much appreciated!

I wish I had seen this before buying my Zroadz rack. I also am wanting to install a RTT and noticed that the rack sits lower than the top of the cab. Now I'm thinking I'm either stuck getting a tent that ONLY sits on the rack, or having to get some sort of spacers installed to raise the tent over the cab. To be continued...

Ikamper makes brackets for this exact problem, they refer to them as their 1.0 brackets. Just had to pick a set up for my crossbars as well.
