That looks very purdy Pete. What length bolts did you end up getting to replace the standard RTT ones.

Comes flat packed and you assemble it.......

The whole concept is great for a ute setup! makes great use of the space above the tub. 8-)

getting it made here might not be as cheap as getting it from Allpro?

Dute,

Nice rig... always getting better.

Can we have a pic of the rtt frame from inside the tub. I assume it sits on the tub floor and is secured by the tie down points???

Thanks

you can see in the pic below, the frame is secure to the tub sides (on top) with bolts going vertically shared with the canopy mounting points -
