Urander Rack Mega Thread – Post Your Setup!

[hemiarch]

We can’t wait to share the tent with you guys too! There are still a few small parts that don’t exist yet, so we’ve been making our own molds for them. Unfortunately, it looks like we’ll miss the best weather this year, but we’ll keep focusing on making the tent even better. We’ll share photos of the prototype soon and gather your feedback for the production version!

Not trying to bust your chops man. Just looking forward to it.

Come on, that is all you are going to tease us with? That's a pic of the bed of the truck with one window opened up on the right hand side, lol. Hard to see much to identify if it's glass or plexi-glass...

Just saw another one!

Only saw this pic on X. Many of the recent bed cap owners aren’t on social media, but we’ll share more pics next week!

He and I have such similar setups with tall ~10" RTTs on top of our racks! (Except he has glass windows...)

Spotted one of our racks from one of the most creative members on this forum

With 9.7 kWh of auxiliary battery storage in my Cybertruck including two EcoFlow Delta Pros (3.6 kWh each) and my DIY solar system (2.5 kWh), I'm able to extend off road range by as much as 20 miles. But recharging these batteries once depleted took far too long from one 420W REC Pure Alpha 2 solar panel mounted on the roof top tent. My solution was to add EcoFlow's 400W portable solar panel whenever camping for a couple of nights on the trail. I mount the second panel on the truck over the windshield and frunk lid and point the truck SE:

This morning at 10am on a clear sunny day I'm generating 600W with the panels at a less than optimal angle to the sun. I'm essentially doubling my energy production. On a sunny day in Arizona in the fall or spring, I estimate it will take a day to recharge the on-board batteries under optimal conditions. This energy can then be transferred to the truck's battery charging at 240V and 30A from the Delta Pros using the mobile connector for an increase of 5 - 7% SoC and another 15 to 20 miles of range depending on driving efficiency.

The removable solar panel folds up to 41" x 24" 40 lb package to fit nicely against the back wall of the vault. It takes just 10 minutes for me to deploy it once the vault is unloaded at the campsite. I place three 1" x 1" lengths of wood under the panels to raise them off the glass and to allow some air ventilation beneath the panels which can get very hot. The portable panel's grommets fit over pegs in the wood standoffs and the whole assembly is secured to the truck with four bungee cords in case the wind picks up. The lower panel flips up and down when the frunk is opened and closed.

A side benefit is the shade that the panels provide to keep the cabin from getting excessively hot.
