Roof Rack Tent Platform

First you need to create a larger platform at the top of your vehicle using particle board and 2x4s and then mount this to the roof rack.

Roof rack tent platform.

After some initial struggles we identified a mounting solution that allows us to mount our rooftop tent to the top of the pioneer platform. Both our 4runner and honda element racks are designed to carry anything from roof top tents to rotopax gas cans and max trax recovery devices. Most rooftop tents are designed to mount to a traditional roof rack consisting of two bars that run in parallel. If you were to get a smaller tent with a large pioneer platform then there is room for storage outside of the tent in the form of a rhino rack luggage bag or box again ensure your roof top capacity.

But the pioneer platform doesn t have this sort of arrangement. Adventure truck is making platform roof racks with pre cut side panels for easy overland accessory installation. Next you create a solid frame for the tent using a combination of 2x6s and 1x1s to customize the platform to your vehicle s roof rack. The tent that pops out of the hardshell is a weatherproof.
