Answers:
1 - Yes the Rhino-Rack Backbones mount the stock bolt-on locations (Backbone + Tpod Crossbars + Tent). No extra drilling is required. Please note - the Backbone is not included with the tent. It is an extra cost. But we will offer a nice discount if purchased with a tent.
2 - Total height measured from the peak of the roofline = approx 7.75". However...please be aware, your suspension will play a big part. So be sure to measure the total vehicle, for your garage...not just the tent. (My 2 cents).

Bravo
This looks like a great design and really does address the issues that make me squeamish about RTTs: weight, mounting height, and frontal area when closed. Best of luck on the Kickstarter campaign! (But I doubt you'll need it.)

Congrats on the RTT launch. It looks great and wishing you success.
Just thinking ahead here, for long term maintenance and care. After such a big investment and hoping for long term use, do you have anything set up for repair/refurbishment? Especially for the fabric

Thanks bud! I really appreciate it. Really hoping more 4runner folks get involved. It was originally designed and built around that platform and really works well. Here's hoping the people want a quality, handmade USA built tent.
Cheers!

For those that do not wish to purchase a tent at this time... please consider one of our other merch items. Every little bit will help us get up to speed that much faster. BTW - the Mag-Coozie is freakin awesome. Easily my favorite thing.

The Terrapod RTTx - the most tested, proven, new-to-market Roof Top Tent, ever conceived.
14 months - 1000's of miles on and off road - high winds - monsoon rain - high desert t-storms - hail
...and a 40 lb, 87" limb dropped onto it from 14'...3 times.
It survived it all.
Handcrafted and made in the USA.

You probably covered this already, but please recap.
For mounting on a 5th Gen 4Runner you’ll need to purchase a Rhino Rack Backbone. Looking on their website, which one? All the vehicle names are Aussie-centric.

The RTTx can be mounted to existing racks. That said - the best low profile, low weight option is the Rhino-Rack Backbone.
Rhino-Rack USA Part number - RT4B1 Backbone 2 Base System for 5th Gen 4runners
#RT4B1 - Rhino-Rack Backbone Mounting System - Toyota 4Runner |
Side note - Terrapod is an official Rhino Rack dealer, and we will be offering discounts on packages for Tents and Rhino-Rack mounts. Be sure to send a message on Kickstarter stating you want one.
Thanks!

Congrats on the development! Any chance this will work mounting on the pioneer platform? folks that are purchasing the backbone system will have an intention of putting on the pioneer platform. It would be a PITA to remove the platform to load the RTT.

Yes sir. It will work. You will need to slightly modify the rack to accommodate our generic mounting plates. The smaller platform is not applicable. Only the larger two versions will provide enough support for the tent.
