DIY Rooftop Tent Rack Creation & Install. Huge mistake? +Bonus SMRT Tent Review

We've all been there. We purchase a piece of equipment that we're completely stoked about, only to realize it's going to take 8-12 weeks to get to you. Well, we said screw it, we're going to just build something ourselves.

To mount our SMRT Tent RTT to our RLD Design Canopy, we bought 4 pieces of 11 Guage 1"x1.5" Steele Tubing and drilled 3/8" hole on the ends where the channels of the canopy are located. Fastening them with some heavy duty stainless nuts, bolts and locking washers and slapping enough sealant to stop the Mississippi we then fastened four Front Runner quick release brackets to the rack.

The tricky part was getting the 160lb tent on top of Zeus as he's a BIG BOY. Thinking outside the box, we stepped the tent to our studio lighting winch and it lifted it with ease!

Pumped on how it turned out and I know you're going to love sleeping in this tent!
