Q Dalton Repine • 04/15/2020, 10:21:57 AM Are these able to mount directly to a bed cap to be used with your bed cap roof rack

A 04/17/2020, 6:53:08 PM If the bed cap can handle that kind of load, sure. You would have to provide your own hardware.

Q daniel • 05/01/2020, 2:17:22 PM Can these tent mounts work on other roof racks or are they specifically made for Victory racks?

A 05/04/2020, 10:07:42 AM They will likely work with other racks that have t-slots.

Q Dick Watson • 05/28/2020, 2:56:49 AM I just bought a No Boundaries 10.6 trailer an came with a Rhino rack an wonder will these work with it an a CVT rooftop tent. Thank you

A 06/01/2020, 10:08:59 AM They are designed to be pretty universal, but we haven't personally tested them with a Rhino Rack.

Q Zack Berk • 08/23/2020, 5:34:52 PM I am interested in mounting a tuff stuff alpha to my victory 4 x 4 roof rack on my 4Runner. Would I need your roof top tent adapters for this application?

A 08/26/2020, 9:52:51 AM The mounts included with the tent may work but having the Victory 4x4 roof top tent mounts/spacing the tent up off the rack would make it easier to mount.

Q Chance Karshens • 09/05/2020, 7:34:37 PM Do the RTT brackets need any extra hardware to connect with tent?

A 09/09/2020, 3:00:07 PM The tent hardware would be separate.

Q Ryan Colleran • 09/23/2020, 8:16:38 AM What would be the proper application for these brackets? I will be mounting an iKamper Skycamp on a short bed Tacoma bed rack. Will I need these brackets for extra clearance above the cab?

A 09/24/2020, 11:01:43 AM With just rough measurements you would need to raise that camper 2-3" off the mounting surface of the rack to clear the roof. These mounts only add an 1". You would have to find a different solution to raise the tent up a bit.

Q E.W • 09/24/2020, 8:47:45 PM What is the static and dynamic load rating for at RTT with these brackets?

A 10/06/2020, 2:30:39 PM We don't have an official rating on these brackets.

Q Jerry • 01/18/2021, 9:23:10 PM Are these the same size as the hi-lift brackets?

A 01/20/2021, 10:17:38 AM Yes, they are.

Q Eric • 04/03/2021, 10:16:36 AM Whats the difference between these and the hi lift jack mounts?

A 04/12/2021, 1:13:17 PM They are the same, but hi-lift mounts include hardware for the jack.

A 04/21/2021, 2:11:12 PM Bolt pattern is 1" x 4"

Q Cohen Bruce B • 05/02/2021, 9:32:20 AM I have a Boreas XT trailer. It comes with a T rack system installed. Is it appropriate to use these brackets to adapt your Universal Basket Rack, that uses a T bolt system to another T bolt system? If so, how much rise do these brackets provide?

A 05/05/2021, 1:00:12 PM Yes, these would work fine. They are about 1" tall.

Q Lucky P • 05/14/2021, 5:38:13 PM I see people mount their tents to their roof racks all the time. How much weight could I load onto your rack? Tent + person

A 05/21/2021, 9:59:41 AM The official load ratings of the racks is determined by the load ratings of the vehicle they are mounted to.

Q Shanen • 07/29/2021, 1:23:48 PM Are all the holes for 1/4 bolts? Trying to mount an awning that uses m8 bolts. Will these holes fit M8 bolts? I believe m8 bolts require at least 8m of clearance to fit.

A 08/12/2021, 4:01:01 PM The tent side holes work with M8 bolts.

Q Garth Fenton • 01/24/2022, 1:54:53 PM How many bolts and t-nuts are included with the RTT brackets?

A 01/25/2022, 10:48:35 AM There will be 4 of each per mount.

Q Johnny Zavala • 01/26/2022, 0:49:36 AM I’m looking to mount a Roofnest Condor XL to my Prinsu full rack. Would these work?

A 02/09/2022, 11:20:55 AM They might, we have not tested this setup.

Q Steve Lange • 02/26/2022, 9:17:18 AM What size U bolt will I need to mount my roof top tent to these brackets? Thanks for the time.

A 02/28/2022, 9:24:34 AM Usually the tent will come with carriage bolts or t-bolts that will slide into the t channel on the bottom of the tent. These will then drop into our mounts with a nut on the bottom.

Q Courtnry • 04/05/2022, 0:11:24 AM I'm interested in mounting a RTT and an awning to the Victory roof rack. Will these brackets make it possible to mount both?

A 04/06/2022, 12:44:49 PM Yes, you can use the RTT mounts and our awning mounts at the same time.

Q Robby • 06/15/2022, 2:21:44 AM Do I need to use these to mount an FSR Odyssey tent to a victory 200 series roof rack? Would you recommend setting up that tent with or without these mounts. I'm trying to look at the build photos to see if they are used but I cant tell

A 06/22/2022, 2:01:57 PM Yes, we would use these. If you plan on removing the tent often, we would order two more crossbars (part: XAL) as well and remove the tent by unbolting the two crossbars that the tent is mounted to from the side rails of the rack. Then put the bare crossrails in their place. This way you can leave the tent assembly adjusted and it's quick to re-install.

Q Anthony • 06/15/2022, 7:43:15 PM What is the call out size of the supplied mounting screws into the t-nuts? (Ex. #6-32)

A 06/21/2022, 12:17:38 PM 1/4-20

Q Valerie • 08/29/2022, 4:42:46 AM My tent uses M10 bolts- will these fit in the holes?

A 08/30/2022, 11:02:52 AM They will not. They are made for 5/16" hardware.

Q Aaron • 11/13/2023, 11:58:11 PM Are the RTT brackets the same height as the awning mounts. The problem I have is that the awning mounts get in the way of the RTT sitting level. Would the RTT brackets level it out?

A 11/22/2023, 12:10:36 PM The awning mounts would sit higher than the RTT mounts.The RTT mounts are only 7/8ths " tall.You'll likely have to offset your tent to the opposite side of the awning.

Q Jay • 03/03/2024, 8:40:35 PM Will this work with just one bolt on each mount, and does it matter if it’s on the square or the oval holes? Or do I need to 2 t nut and bolt holding it down,

A 07/17/2024, 1:39:01 PM You only need one bolt attaching the tent to each mount. You could do 2, but it's not totally necessary.

Q Meir • 03/15/2024, 10:04:45 PM I have Victory 4x4 roof rack on GX460 and 4 person OVS Nomadic RTT. I mounted the RTT directly to allow weight distribution between crossbars - but it's extremely inconvenient. But if I will put those brackets, it seems that the weak point is going to be the 8 small bolts and the threads of the 2 used crossbars. Can 2 crossbars with those tiny bolts handle the weight of 4 people and RTT?

A 06/05/2024, 4:21:37 PM Yes, if installed correctly these mounts will hold a RTT with 4 people.

Q Ruthie • 04/06/2024, 1:54:07 PM Will these work with the cross bars sold by Victory or are they specifically designed for the rack only?

A 04/15/2024, 5:11:00 PM These are designed to work with our roof rack cross bars.

too slim

★ ★ ★

Jh (CA) | January 19th, 2022

Got these mounts for an RTT on the victory roof rack for a GX460 to prevent squeaking because the rtt lays across all crossbars (which is great for load distribution) but I wanted a quieter drive without the constant squeak. But the mounts are too slim. Wish they were a little taller. I see how it was being passed off as a highlift mount and/or rtt mount but feel the rtt mounts should have a little more height. Even a 1/2" taller would be a huge improvement. Can't get my hand underneath to bolt down the rtt. Quality and build is great. I have a lot of victory4x4 products but this would probably be best for the highlift mount not for an RTT.

Note From Victory 4x4: Hey JH, thanks for the review. At the shop, we install the crossbars on the RTT on the ground (using a tape to measure for location) and then lift the whole assembly onto the roof and bolt it in the side rails. The same is true when we pull the tent, we leave it attached to the crossbars and remove them from the side rails and store it with the bars attached. We do sell extra crossbars so you can drop empty ones in their place. We've found this makes installing and removing a tent super easy with less smashing hands in places they aren't meant to fit. Hope that makes sense, let us know if we can help any other way.
