Anybody local to Albuquerque area, have 2 extra Yakima gutter clamp tower brackets they would like to sell?

I have three load bars and that's what I suggest. Congrats on the purchase!!

I'm with Ali. Three, which is also what I run. I have a pair of Yakima A1 towers I could be talked out of. I don't think the load bar I have is wide enough for an 80.

Mauser,
Thanks for your offer, but we live just about as far apart as possible. I will see who I can get closer to my location. Thanks again. I will let you know.

Jeff -

I am East Mountains, not as far as Mauser. I am also willing to help if you don’t find other volunteers who are closer.

Thanks!
Evan

I found someone with some Yakima A1 Towers, and already have some real long bars. I used to carry 2 canoes on my truck . Thanks for the offer.

Thanks but I have some real long yakima bars, and I found someone with some Yakima A1 towers. Now I have to get them from him in a few days. Thanks.

I will cut the one I have down to the matching length.

Thanks. I will know when the truck drop shipment will be tomorrow morning. Tracking says it will be in Albuquerque on Thursday morning, and that's when I can set up home delivery. I cannot make a time until I talk to them in the morning.
I can let you know and and find a time for me and my helpers.
I think all the truck driver will do is off load the big RTT box and pallet onto my driveway. Will know more tomorrow.
Thanks again for the offer.

Bite your tongue. I think us retired folk need to just keep rubbing it in. Hey @alia176 , should we tell you about how great retirement is?

Mauser,
I have enough help to get the RTT onto my vehicle. Thanks for offering your help. I will post up some pics.

I can lend a hand, Lemeno. May want a separate thread for this to put more eyeballs on it

Made some labels

Got my RTT delivered and with help of Evan, Stephen and Cliff we got it up on top of my 80. Will finish it up tomorrow. Looks like it will work well. Needs a 3rd load bar to decrease movement over bumps. I will add that soon as I receive more load bar clamps from Roofnest. Will post pics sometime .

Thanks for the help guys!!!

It’s a cool RTT - very slim profile. I will be interested to hear how it works out.

Didn't get to work on it yesterday, but got quite a bit done today. Just have to build the arm for the tire then weld everything up.

 

[Mauser]

Almost done.
