Did you see where it’s $600 for the 4Runner mounting kit plus you have to do an antenna delete to fit it up there.

Would work nice if you have a full rack already no?

I believe that's if you want it super low profile. Shouldn't need that equipment if you're mounting it to a rack.

I did not see that part; thanks for pointing that out.

Not a big fan of the antenna delete unless it's done right. I don't have a rack so that would have to be a consideration. Still a better price than other competitors in the $3k range.

You can do the delete yourself. It's removing the top cover and replacing it with there low profile cover. Hardest part is getting to it (have to loosen the rear headliner and couple side panels to access) I did this on mine with the other RTT, little silicone for my peace of mind and all good. The "shark fin" is only a cover.

Slow down cowboy. That’s not required. Let’s not spread incorrect info.

I’ve been watching this one. GFC makes quality stuff and 80 pounds is a significant achievement.

Looking forward to reviews.

Agreed. At 80 lbs you are definitely in the realm of mounting this on your own. I will wait for reviews on durability though. If you have non-oem crossbars that sit higher on top of the side rails (not between them like oem) then you can probably just get some good mounting hardware at home depot on the cheap compared to their website prices.

@FoRunnuh - here's some accurate information from the manufacturer and not completely inaccurate information from a guy on the forum that didn't even read the web page.

One of the guys from GFC answered a bunch of questions about the tent on the second half of one of their podcasts. Several of them were about mounting.

It can be mounted on pretty much anything that has two crossbars - from things like stock cross-bars on a Subaru or Toyota to any rack that has slots like the bars that come from frontrunner or sherpa.

They will also be selling a quick release clip.

You're Really Out There: Superlite Questions Answered From a Farm in Iowa on Apple Podcasts

So the whole "$600" and "antenna delete kit" is 100% inaccurate.

Even more interested in the product after listening to that podcast.

GFC is a great company, I have their camper on my 3rd gen Taco, and would love to replace the RTT on my wife's 4Runner with a GFC, maybe even the superlite.

Is this a real product?
A month ago the website said they’d start fulfilling orders in November 2020.
Now the website says:
“ Available now for pre-order. Estimated fulfillment is Spring 2021.“

Why so grumbly Electro Boy? GFC is a well-established vendor that makes exceptionally high-quality innovative products.
