Looks Great!

Is that color matched or is that the Medium Gray with Charcoal Gray doors option?
Stock colors. No color match

Well, looks like I’m out of luck for the foreseeable future on the canopy. Was told today it has not left the South African Port. So, not going to be using it most of the summer. Have to come up with a fix for the time being to mount a tent over the bed to get out and about. I had believed it was already in Seattle.
Through Rhino? Mine will be in the same container and last I heard it's getting caught up in that "essential shipping only" restrictions.

Wow, it’s amazing how close that is.
Depends on the lighting but usually looks pretty darn close. I don't really have a desire to try to match it.

My canopy will be here next week, I’m trying to figure out the best way to mount a rack and tent, is yours mounted directly to the canopy without loadbars?

Yea it’s directly mounted. I like the fact that it’s a bit lower but now mounting an awning is difficult. I’m not sure about the RLD load bars, I still prefer the typical Rhino Rack bars as you can add more accessories to it.

How about making load bar/rack out of 80/20? That way you can make it specific to your size needs. Super lightweight as well.

Mounting an awning has been my worry. I have a Frontrunner slimline rack that I will probably mount directly to the canopy and mount the awning and tent to it.

It looks like the RLD bars are pretty tall.

Thanks,

That would work as well, How tall is the 80/20 ? I think the slimline slats are 3/4" tall

You can get them as short as 3/4" but I think the 1"h x 3"w slats are the way to go. Should give enough room underneath that you can do some L-brackets on the sides of the slats and mount the tent that way without the typical tent hardware.

retro or only when initially ordered? Thanks
pretty sure you can order them retro - I had ordered mine with the windows, it came without, so now I have replacements coming with the windows. I'll just have to swap them out. I would ask Tom at Adventure Ready - he's been great to deal with.
I was told anything can be ordered after sale except the main frame. At the time it was because I was wondering if damaged panels can be replaced, but mine is coming no cupboard and I'll probably add one down the road if I can't find someone to fab one up for me.

It was through Adventure Ready. I was told now that it is scheduled to be in country in July. I’m not sure when. Hopefully it get to water soon.

I really want to order mine, but not sure if I should get my hopes up about actually receiving it this summer!

After months of deliberating and weighing options I really think the RLD is the way to go. Thanks everyone for your information, pictures and insights!

Call Tom at Adventure Ready and see if there are any available on the next shipment
