I kno it's not a roof top.. but I love my little set up. All in all, including blow up mattress this cost me just under $500.

We bought the floor tent purely for the dog. But always take it with us now regardless. Its 8ft x 8ft. So is basically a little living room. Just in case the weather turns bad.c5703c4256bb2638458665158168c19c.jpg

I went with the Leitner Active Cargo System, was easy enough to install after I finally got the crossbar brackets. They were not shipped with the initial order, but they did send me a t-shirt with the missing parts. http://www.leitnerdesigns.com/truck-bed-rack-ram-6-4-foot-p/00-7476-f-01-1191.htm

Still havent decided on a RTT yet, but I do like the idea of having an annex.


I have seen that system and it looks amazing. My question is if you have the 360 degree view feature on the truck does it block the rear camera mounted on the cab brake light?

My rack loaded up, victory 4 x 4 universal rack. Quick stop at my favorite place Walmart to grab a few last-minute essentials before heading off for a long weekend excursionb771d06e5cab9cfb5cba7d13f8d4dd02.jpgd2b73c5bdbbaa1409005dabd534fd9e5.jpg

A bit OT - but who makes that roof rack? How do you like it? How did you route the light power?

I’m considering adding a roof rack - when we’re fully loaded for a trip, I end up with more gear in the can than I like from a safety perspective.

You need to post more pics of your truck. Who makes that rack that works with the ram box?

My rack/tonneau/shelf is Nuthouse, very pleased with their product and customer service.

Dethloff also makes a very nice rack for Rambox that sits lower, and he of course is also great with customer service.

There are photos of my truck in the pictures thread, a few in the post linked below and then more in a post a few after it:

Also some photos of my truck and others on the Nuthouse website:
