Hi @Pindal - Thanks for the info above. We actually already own a CVT roof top tent, but I'm looking for a topper to put it on, as I currently run bed bars for my Tacoma, but I need to enclose our dogs and gear on trips now. You'll be happy with your CVT. We just bought my father-in-law a...

Any stress cracks or issues?

I've definitely considered this, although the cost of the topper plus the rack just keeps adding up. It's probably the safest option however

Hi all, Given that our family is growing and we'll be bringing our dogs and kids with us on overlanding trips, I need to switch from our bed rack to a cab-height topper. So far, I've been looking at both the A.R.E. Overlander and A.R.E. HD Series. Are either of these good choices for running...

Yeah that's the downside... You could definitely go down Chicken Corners and into the Needles (I believe). Have a good trip!

I know a trip that we'd like to do next year is the Rimrocker Trail (Montrose, CO to Moab, UT), then hook on to White Rim Trail in Moab.

Ah okay. I just got back on Facebook so I'll make sure I follow the group on there. Definitely want to get out to a local event in the near future!

Yeah, and I imagine that it's going to be pretty busy this weekend also. How are you hearing about the OB events? I obviously got notice of this event, but hadn't heard of anything going on at Twin Lakes

Bummer I didn't know about this sooner. We're going up to Independence Pass and Maroon Bells this weekend to catch the changing colors. Have fun!

Let us know how those 4x Innovations sliders are. I've been eyeing those for awhile. And welcome to the TRD family!

Agreed. I'm going to take up welding just for this purpose, with the goal of creating an integrated roof and bed rack. With that said, I've had local fabricators build me a rack in the past for about $400. It all depends on what solution you're looking for.

We did Rule Ridge this weekend in Woodland Park, CO. It gets pretty tippy, but a good trail all around.

Can you see the picture?

If you are a DIY'er, check this out. It's probably the easiest, cheapest, and sturdiest option that you can do. Doesn't allow for much modularity, but it will keep you low profile.

It is! We've realized that there's no need for vacation when we have the Rockies in our backyard and Moab 6 hours away!

The design of that mounting bracket looks like a problem, especially since it's held together at one point where the bottom plate and top plate mate. Just seems like it would sheer. I would also worry that you couldn't open the cover with the brackets on, so getting anything out of your bed is...

So the rack I bought is the one in the link below. I was nervous when I bought it because I didn't think that it would support the 120lb roof top tent that I carry, especially in dynamic offroad situations. The owner confirmed that it would however, so I went on a whim and bought it...

If you have any questions just let me know. I've experimented with several different things, so I can hopefully help you nail down a setup that works for you. Before you buy a rack, let me know. I've had plenty of headaches with my KB Voodoo rack, and have had to do my own modifications to make...

I don't regret it for a second!

I use a Canon S120 for everything. I've always thought about moving to a larger DSLR camera, but the point and shoot size of this thing really helps when going out on trips. The picture quality is usually good enough to print 20x30 prints without any blur. Highly recommended!
