TrailRax Accessories and Mounts

[mikeeshim]

Amazing. Thanks so much! I have a Trailrax ordered but haven’t really found info for quick release compatibility. My CVT softshell rtt doesn’t fit in the garage when mounted so this is a def need . Hope you get well soon too

I ended up getting the 4" tall Inspired Overland RTT because I didn't have much clearance as well, and with the quick release, I gained almost another 2" of height, so really, the IO RTT 2.0 was the ONLY one I could go with. I'm actually glad I got this tent because I can barely lift this one at 80 lbs, there's no way I'd be able to lift any other RTT out there. Not that it's heavy, but the size makes it extremely cumbersome.

Other folks have already mentioned this, but the various "grip" shovel/paddle holders can work nicely above other things mounted on the side pax rax. There are holes drilled on the vertical side bars just above the bend that provide a rather perfect place to mount a shovel/etc holder.

I went with the Yakima TopGrip ones, but that's just because I wanted something that could lock and I already had other Yakima gear and extra lock cores, so the single key thing is a plus for me. Otherwise, there are cheaper options that would work just as well.

One thing I was ignorant of when I bought my (first) RTT is the weight. I only considered mattress size. So I got the biggest,.. which turns out to be the heaviest RTT out there. 165lbs. It’s so cumbersome to get on, I’ve only had it on once for the 3 years I’ve owned it.

Putting this here for anyone interested. Just bought this kit:

and they fit perfect.

Also bought a couple sets of the small quick fists to mount fishing rods on top. Holes line up perfect with the tracks.

Was really hoping to mount them underneath the rack, but not enough room between roof and bottom of rack for baitcaster triggers.

Added a little condensation pipe wrap to the ends to take up space.

Even-though the four holes of the quickfist line up with the tracks, I went with the single center hole and added a stainless washer so there was more meat to hold. The 4 holes are pretty thin rubber. Don’t want to risk my poles going flying down the highway.
