Just ordered my rack and a 270 degree awning to go on it. Looking forward to using both in Big Bend Ranch State Park soon.

Posting some updates for everybody.
Lead times should slowly start to become significantly shorter. Hoping to get
the Matterhorn down to 2 weeks and Anteros are about a 1 week lead time, sometimes even shorter.
We just made the big move into an actual shop. This may surprise some but for the last year the racks were being made, stored, and packaged out my garage. We moved into a location in Fort Collins and are extremely excited to be able to grow in our new space.
With new space comes it's hassles, this last week was spent solely on catching up on orders that got pushed back from our waterjet guys having a machine crash right before we left for our Canada trip. We have caught up on all late orders and are working hard to get out all current orders. We have gotten the shop all setup and are focusing directly on production now which is great.
Here some shots from our trip to Canada. Remember to tag us on instagram, @rmracks and use the hashtags #rmracks and #nicerack . We love seeing everyones racks and the unique trucks they go on!
Myself and Will showing off our new shirts that will be coming out soon!

Mounted up my rack. I fabbed up a different mount but it does not effect the function of the rack.

Yes I did. Not trying to bash the original design - but I have a hard time trusting 15 year old 18 gauge (maybe) bent aluminum that has been through 10 years of Texas summers and winters. I did a pretty basic design and can shoot you the info if you want. Materials was less than $30 bucks if you buy at someplace other than the box home stores.
Spent a little time test mounting and figuring out how I want to mount the Roam bat wing next. I have a CVT tent to mount also as needed so it will need some clearance and adjustments as needed. It looks a lot better when everything is pulled around and tight like it should be. This is just rough testing.

Thanks for confirming.
I like the idea a lot, even aesthetically. Leaves, debris, standing water just not a good mix up there...
I'll be having a RTT at some point too, but over a trailer. Curious to see what you did...
Thanks much for the offer! Mighty kind of you. I'll shoot you a PM in a bit.

Local pickup is an option and we will soon be offering a powder coated option.
I happened upon Alex and his posse in July out in Colorado (Tetons). This was a chance encounter as I am from Georgia and was traveling for a couple of weeks out west. Super nice guys. The racks look great and are very sturdy. The fitment was excellent, also. BTW, Thanks for the stickers, Alex.

Its great to hear from you! Hope the stickers are treating you well! Hope to have a rack on your rig down the road. We love running into people on the road/trails and put faces to the names on the forum.

What do you do 80% of the time? A lift really is pretty standard for most any type of wheeling. But even stock height 4Runners can do a lot of terrain.

Beautiful rack!
