Any way you could post a pic with the tent deployed?just curious to see where the back flaps that attach to the roof pass
Just got back from travel, not the best photo but this might help showing the cybertent with just the front half of the Mars rack. Got a camping trip planned next weekend, so can take better photos if needed.
I have the same rack and agree with everything said.1. Aesthetically, I don’t like Urander. The overall effect is a camper shell and it just makes it look like a work truck to me. My truck is not a work truck.
2. I really hate camper shells!
3. I don’t want to lose the ability to put tall things in the bed or to walk around in the bed. It’s a perfect platform for me and the dogs to go out and watch meteor showers, do some astrophotography or go to the drive-in with the wife.
I don’t lose any bed space with the Mars version if I don’t attach the rear most rail and even with that in place I only lose about 2ft of bed length with the overhang, instead of the whole thing. That won’t be an option once I attach the tent but then I know exactly how much I’m losing.
Another bonus is, with the platform not extending all the way into the bed, I can climb directly into the tent from the bed of the truck without needing a ladder going all the way down to the ground and I’m thinking that if the weather is nice, the dogs can sleep in the bed of the truck and me and the wife in the tent.
Or, I can just mostly have the bed full of gear and worry less about limited overhead clearance like @Cybergirl mentioned she has to contend with (even without her cool tire mount). Not that I really am going to want to have the tonneau opened while overlanding.
But honestly a lot of it is like I said aesthetics. I just think this looks better.
Yes. No, it does not. You can see that in my original photos on page one.
Thank you!! It looks great. I seen other roof racks but, by far, this one compliments the CT really well.
