Rooftop tent (Ironman 4×4) and Bed Rack (frontrunner) option

[Theslim_spaydee]

New to this but I know when I was trudging the depths of the internet I was hard pressed to find any set up that suited my plans. I pressed on blindly and it luckily turned out.

Anyhow I have the ford embark LS tonneau cover on my supercrew. The racks that were supposed to support enough weight and were designed for the cover were all to tall (RCI and Yakima). I went with the front runner slimline 2 with roll top legs. (Pickup Roll Top Slimline II Load Bed Rack Kit / 1425(W) x 1358(L). Coupled with the Ironman 4x4 tent mounted with the front runner tent mounts (adds about an inch).

Anyways see the photos to see how it turned out and to realize the power of measuring before buying (barely make it out of the garage). We have taken it out once and it held up well and was stable. Planning to erect a hoist system to store the tent off of the truck when not in use.

I like this. I was initially looking at an RCI or KBVoodoo rack, but have come upon Billie Bars for the bed. Would keep the tent low versus the roofline, but does limit accessibility in the bed.
