Sounds easy, and if you have lots of space under the tent (like I did with my last setup, with Yakima rack and bars) it goes pretty easy. The closer the rack is to the top of the truck, the more difficult it is to start the nut on the bottom. The NiseRack sits high enough that everything fits well, it is just a bit of a chore to get the 'inside' nut into place. Once on then getting it snug with a long ratchet wrench is pretty easy.

Thanks for explaining that. It looks like a good sturdy setup. I’m not ready to buy a RTT yet but I’m thinking about one for the future. I presume you will keep yours mounted permanently.
