Low profile roof rack for SR5

[mfoga]

I have very little room under the Prinsu Pro rack for the brackets of the RTT. I wouldn't want it any tighter

You used the wrap around mounts still? There are a few much better options for mounting a RTT to these type racks IMO. Especially on the Prinsu Pro since it does not have a flat surface on the bottom.

I used what I had. I didn't want to add height to the setup either. I'd be grateful for other options, though.

I used the Sherpa rtt mounts which sit either 1/2 or 1" above the rack. Prinsu has a nice mount system if it works with the rails on the bottom of the RTT.

I think Sherpa uses 7075 structural aluminum so stronger than the rest. For RTT just mount two of the bars to the tent and it will drop right into the rack so nothing sticks up. Also more solid since the RTT sits on all bars when mounted. They sell extra bars if you want all 9 bars in the rack when RTT isn't up there.

I used these to mount my rtt to the westcott lo pro. Works well, attached to 3 bars using 6 mounts. When I want to remove the tent, I remove it with the 3 bars still mounted so I can just drop it on and go. Takes 20 minutes to mount and unmount it this way.

I tried those but had issues with their hardware being larger than what the rails would accept. I ended up with Sherpas 1” mounts. I could have gone with the 1/2” but 1” makes way easier to install and remove as I only remove one bar. The front has one set of mounts i can get to from moon roof. The middle has 2 sets on one bar that comes out. The rear has one set 1 bar in and I can get to it was a long ratcheting box end. Same is about 15-20 to install or remove. I love the mounting hardware on the other bars Full time.
