    Autohome RTT hardware upgrade for safety - replace those scrawny u-bolts!

    Lemsteraak, That is very interesting, I was wondering if the small u-bolts were supposed to be the "fuse" or weak point in the mounting system. My Yakima cross bars have some plastic parts in the brackets and I have no doubt that they will separate off the factory Land Cruiser roof rails in a...

    Is the roof tent trend over?

    I just bought a new Maggiolina - I sold my Oliver travel trailer (for more than I paid seven years ago) and now I have the ability to just stop at any side spot in the back country for a night or three, if the weather is decent. I am past dealing with inclement conditions. My dealer told me...

    Autohome RTT hardware upgrade for safety - replace those scrawny u-bolts!

    More pics. This shows the RTT as first installed by the dealer (who shall remain nameless). After modifying the hardware, I slid the RTT rearward 2” from where it was installed (see the small black mark near the rear crossbar) to reduce bug buildup under the front lip. I removed...

    Autohome RTT hardware upgrade for safety - replace those scrawny u-bolts!

    FYI I am using two old school round Yakima crossbars with Yakima Rail Grab LowRider towers. I fabricated two strips to act as spacers using 3/16” x 2” wide 6061T3 aluminum, this allows the fiberglass to clear the steel Yakima brackets!!! Without spacers the fiberglass would be badly damaged at...

    Spotted FS in Montana 97 F-350 7.3 4wd rescue truck 30k miles/ $20,000

    I spotted a craigslist ad for a pristine potential expedition camper, for sale in north Montana. NOT my ad. I bet the “only 30,000” were hard miles. I would want to see some regular and complete service records, for sure. It has single rear wheels, yay! From the appearance and glossy paint, I...
