What you would estimate is the total weight you have on that roof rack?

Is the rack attached using rivets? Any deflection in the mounting areas? As I'm sure you have some miles on this install I'd like to hear your thoughts.

No issues whatsoever, and it gets a lot of beating on the rough spanish tracks. Attaches with 12 rivnuts where two body panels overlap.
There is a lenghty discussion about it somewhere in this forum and this will remain my last post to this topic.
 

Overland Ram

New member
Just joined the community, and found where my rig fits in, so I figured I would share what I’m working with. I have a 2017 Ram 1500 crew cab 4x4. I’ve leveled it with 33x12.50r 20 wheels. I have a retrax pro xr tonneau cover with T slots where I mounted my mid rise truck bed rack. On top of the rack sits my roof top tent made by tuff stuff overland. It’s the alpha hard shell RTT. I also mounted a couple of hard case boxes (harbor freight) to the T slots as well as seen in the pictures I plan on attaching. I have an on board 21 gallon fresh water system with a 12v pump and custom ran the line through the inside of the truck bed to an external boiler valve mounted on the truck bed side. I have an off road bumper with a 12,000lb badlands winch. A plethora of off road lights (front, rear, left and right) controlled by my SPOD switch panel. I just finished up a slide out camp kitchen set up that fits perfectly inside the truck bed.

So far this set up has proven me well so far! And I keep finding out how to tweak it to be a little more efficient after every trip I take. If there are any questions about the build with ideas you want to do or have questions about building out a ram 1500 I’d love to chat about it! Hence why I joined the community, anyway hope you enjoyed the post and look forward to being part of the community!
