New vendor "Bowfin Cruisers" and new 80 series roof rack option

[Ntgm37]

Looks amazing. Any photos of an RTT on it yet, or did I miss them?

I don't and they are owed to a few people, so I will try to get some this weekend or first of the week. After this weekend the temps are finally supposed to rise above 10 degrees!

Sounds good, can't wait to see them and place an order!

How's the noise with the sunroof open? It may always be raining there...

It seems like everytime I try to take a picture it's raining!

Noise is no more than without the rack. It may be less but i don't know for sure.

I finally have a working website! I need to keep adding detail and pictures but it is live. Thanks to MUD member @Rea1994 for making it happen. Never would have done it without him. Pretty cool how easy it is to work with someone on the opposite end of the US. Technology is something.

I did a couple of shots of my RTT on the truck. The mounts are pretty simple to use with the T-slot bars. I set my tent extrusions to run opposite the cross bars, and have 4 of the attachment bolts slid in. The brackets are on the outside corners so it is easy to bolt on the tent. I'll get pricing on the RTT mount kit together this week.

True. These were pretty much free though (sold the tires off em for what I paid for the package)

I have a Prinsu. The "latches" are the worst part (of the Prinsu). Prinsu never came out with a version for the 100 series; I'm not itching to get one for the 100 (lx470), yet, but I hope you make one available.

Loving the progress on this thread and your racks. Makes my decision of purchasing one of your racks even more solid. Probably going to need to get a set of those RTT mounts also.

They are just about ready. They will be 4 of the brackets, the fasteners, and rubber pads to even the load on all the bars.

Thanks!

I do have a 100 rack in the works too.
Actually 40, 60, 80, 100, and GX470.

I will keep the updates on the website and the respective threads.
