Just trial mounted my Smittybilt gen2 onto my new JCR half rack. The RTT rails are going front to back. the only way I could make sense was to have one bolt per corner (not using the included plates that normally go around a bedrock bar, since the JCR has purpose built holes cut out...)

The other option would be to mount the RTT rails left to right, then I could l use 4 bolts in the rear rail, and a few in the middle crossbars towards the front. (Note that the JCR middle crossbars won't get wide enough to line up with the width of the rails currently.)

What did everyone else do? This currently feels rock solid. but wouldn't mind getting a few more places bolted up. thanks!

My 23Zero was in a similar situation, but I wanted to raise my tent as I didn't want any overhang.

So I mounted SS bars onto my JCR rack. My tent then mounts to the bars.

I still haven’t pulled the trigger on my RTT, but I was actually thinking to mount the RTT strait onto my Road Armor Track rack and don’t use the RTT bars, but adjust bars of the rack to fit the RTT mounting bolt locations. Maybe even thin rubber strips as isolator between the RTT and the rack.
