    I just added a Snugtop Rebel with windoor sliders and the Sportsman Package. The roof has nothing on it yet, what is the best system for mounting a RTT? I will not keep the RTT on it year round and would also use it for surfboards and a kayak.

    So the cap doesn’t have any rails at all? I went with rhino rack on my truck. I haven’t had any issues with it except for price of bars, feet, kayak holder. My ARE cap came with yakima rails. I got the adapter to fit the rhino rack feet and bars.

    They are all pretty much the same. Check prices and what is available for what you are carrying.

    Timsp8, thanks for the help. The top has no rails yet. I have had Yakima rails on other shells for Surfboards, Kayak and basket, but never a RTT. The Rhino rack is a strong possibility, because I'm thinking of adding 270° Awning.

    Very nice ! I'll consider that an upgrade ? I've visited Ventura a time or two on my motorcycle and always enjoyed myself there.
    It's a beautiful part of our state.
