Anyone happen to have some good pics of how they mounted their roof top tent to the bed trails on a pickup truck?
 
Look at the Thule x-sporter rack system. Its great for this as in its lowest position, the rtt sits about level with the cab, and then can be raised when you get to camp. Its a pretty burly rack that can carry like 750 lbs. I have carried everything from extension ladders, 20' scaffold planks, to dimensional lumber and timbers. http://www.rackattack.com/dynamicimages/productimages/thule-422xt-xsporter-aluminum-truck-rack.jpg
I tend to like stuff to be versitile, which is why this rack appealed to me, and its worked out well. Hth.

Wow...great job and design Tim...


What drawing program has Pelican cases and Rotopax....??...lol


Thanks bud, the design was done in Solidworks, and unfortunately it doesn't come with a library of expedition gear...
Might be a bit OCD, but I modeled everything you see in those renderings. ;)

Don't want to clutter up this thread, as it's not related to a bed rack, so here is a link to the latest project I'm working on:
