Roof top tent

i there I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I have a 2010 6.2 extra cab. My question is do you guys think it's safe to mount an ARB roof top tent on a roof rack on top of the cab? I haven't found any pics of raptors with them mounted that way. The only pics I can find are with the tents mounted on the truck bed mounted type of racks. Here's a pic of what I'm talking about on a toyota. thanks!

Depends on how it's mounted. I doubt it rests or puts the body directly on the roof. That being said, I would not do it to mine if it did. I have seen some that have aluminum bars and a floor keeping the wight directly off of the roof.

Ok cool thanks I'd like to see them.

I know there are more with the setup your looking for, they must have been random posts in threads.

This one is nice to.

haha thanks! yeah I'm hesitant to mount one on my raptor that way because I can't find any anywhere but if a toyota tacoma can get away with it why couldn't a ford raptor?

That's my thoughts. I like the above tent as it also relies on the ground for some support and creates a lot more room. I can definitely see a dressing room like that working great, too.

yes and on all the other tents the ladder supports a lot of the weight when unfolded too.
