Prinsu Full RoofRack or Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform with backbone

[solidtd3]

Any chance you could post some images of your modifications? I have the backbone system and was going to pick up a Roof Nest sparrow soon. No pressure. Thanks for your time.

Sure thing. After the headache of mounting/dismounting my Roofnest Sparrow on the Rhino Rack, I decided that I would never try that again. Instead, I ended up buying a set of the FrontRunner RTT Quick Disconnect mounts. This system allows me to remove my tent using only 4 buckles, and maintains the functionality of the rack when the tent is not mounted.

These are not meant to work with the Rhino Rack, but I found a way to mount them onto the support crossbars underneath the Pioneer tray by drilling a few holes. To make this work you'd also need to purchase at least one set of rhino rack crossbars, and make a steel L-bracket. I also threw the Roofnest mounting hardware in the trash because the bolts stripped after one use. Recommend not using the supplied-nuts and bolts. Hope this helps!

Here was the final result:

I will be going with the Rhino rack.

I just pulled the trigger on a rhino rack backbone setup.

I got to take a look at on installed on a TRD pro a while back and liked what I saw.

Decided to get a new rack because... my factory rack is leaking. A repair shop pulled it off to do hail repairs and they either left out a bolt or horked a seal. I figured if I'm taking it off, may as well upgrade.

I don't plan to run a RTT but I will be adding some other bits up there.
Wife had to haul some carpet the other week and had a terrible time with the factory rack (and home depot dingbats).
