I just wanted to do a quick shout out to this company and their awesome rtt mount solution. If there is a better place to do this (I swore there was and I'm missing it) let me know and I can repost or move.
I have a 23Zero Armadillo fitted to a 2020 Landcruiser with aftermarket roof rack (Prinsu). The installation was performed with the help of a Gantry Crane. Super easy to have the roof rack on sawhorses so easy to make adjustments. I love the use of this system over anything I have used before. The puck system provides some cushioning resulting in a more compliant ride and reduced noise overall.

One suggestion for the next installer. Kindly leave the pucks tight enough to not move but ensure locking latches engage fully before tightening the pucks the remaining amount. I had to do this step while on the vehicle but was an easy fix. Slightly looses puck nut and latch will automatically engage fully.

What a great system. How did I not know about this. LOL


Currently shows sold out but I am sure if you call you can get real time status of where they are in manufacturing.

Forgot to mention. They are over in Buena Vista which is even better.

That system looks really cool. All the extruded style racks I’ve looked at seem to need accessory RTT mounts and they all raise the tent up. Do these allow your tent to contact all the crossbars or is the tent still only supported by two cross bars? The clamp system that comes with tents work fine but some of the low profile racks simply don’t have the space between the cross bar and tent.

Nevermind, I read the description 🧐. 1/2” above the other crossbars. Still cool as way lower than others. Plus the quick release which is 😎

Correct on the mounting Corbet. 6 mount points which are held up by the rubber pucks held within the sleeves of the Shadowline mounts. I have since been camping three times and have removed the tent. I can actually go through car washes, parking garages etc... LOL..
