Agreed...its surprisingly holding up well and happy with RTT setup. Gonna try my Thule Cargo Box and awning setup soon but should do fine!!!
I have the exact same set up and not experiencing those issues...I'd recommend you ensure those bolts are all tighten up with loctite cause they loosen easily on the Dee Zee racks!Installed the CVT Mt. Hood yesterday and noticed loud rattling when hitting bumps. Anyone else run into this issue after installing an RTT on their Dee Zee rack? If so, how did you resolve it?
loving the cargo boxes in the tray. Mind sending a link? Anyone have other accessories they love for this rack?Just spent 9 nights in the RTT with DeeZee rack. Worked out great, surprised on how little of wind noise there was, even at highway speeds. Only dropped 2-3 MPG.
Good question...I'm running the racks now and am loving it so far. Loaded Thule cargo carrier and cargo basket so far and works great. Only thing I've actually attached to deezee racks are some chase lights and side lights and basically found that you can attach whatever you want as long as you can connect with the 5/16 bolt and nut combo!
Nope but I would be interested to see what you find out or what other folks post...I'm thinking of just getting the deezee small box and bungee cording the rotopax up there or strapping them down. Currently on the rear tire so either works for now. Pretty cool setup and surprisingly strong roof rack...
Keith, I think you'll be happy as I didn't expect much from the racks, especially holding up my RTT and sleeping in it but have been pleasantly surprised! I'm happy with it overall!!
Those views!Just came back from a 8 day Overlanding adventure from LA to Moab cutting through Zion/Bryce, Lake Powell, Grand Staircase-Escalante, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, Arches and finally, Moab. Amazing epic adventure! Happy to report that the DeeZee racks and CVT Mt. Hood RTT held up just fine!!! We camped at BLM land at all stops except in Moab where we stayed at Grandstaff Campground on the Colorado River...Epic trip! While at Moab, we completed Hell's Revenge, Metal Masher, Steel Bender, Poison Spyder and Prichet Canyon all with the DeeZee Racks and Mt. Hood RTT.
I will say that I had to check everyday (sometimes 2 or 3 times a day) before we left a spot that all the bolts and nuts where tight - they kept getting loose while going over the trails - lost 3 bolts/nuts and had to remove the front bar and use those bolts for the ones that came off. Difficult to get the bolts underneath that hold the rails from moving side to side.
Sorry, been busy. But I have 2 of the Front Runners on the front cargo basket. Fit perfect and are held down with rubber bungees. https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/us/front-runner-wolf-pack.html
You gotta go if you haven't been...don't make plans and just let your Jeep take you to wherever it takes ya!!
Hoping to do that exact same thing this summer. When I get the rack and a rooftop tent of course!!
