James Baroud RTT Mounting on Front Runner Roof Rack (1 Viewer)

[CORunner]

Finally got a RTT!!!!! Been going back and forth on getting a RTT for 2 years now. Ran across a company selling all their new inventory for cheap, so made the plunge. Very impressed with the build quality and design.

Hope to mount it soon, but wondering what other people have done to mount a James Baroud RTT on a Front Runner Rack. The James Baroud has two front to back channels to slide in mounting brackets. The brackets that come with the tent are too short to fit around the wide Front Runner rack slats.

Used the magic of google and found:
- Expensive solutions: Mounting Thule/Yakima cross bars, Front Runner quick releases, etc
- Front Runner makes a James Baroud bracket..... but doesn't sell it in the United States.
- Front Runner makes a

Will the front runner RTT brackets not work? If not I would check with Slee. I believe they sell both the Front Runner racks and the James Baroud RTT. They should be able to get you the correct brackets.

Actually found that Front Runner updated their website and now sells a James Baroud specific mount.

Strange because last week it wasn't on their USA website, today it was.

Still a little pricey at $75.

Ordered!
