Toyota 100 and 105 Series Roof Top Tent Rack
Tough Touring 100 Series Toyota RoofTop Tent rack is a Low Profile / outward folded roof rack designed Specifically for roof top tents and heavy loads consistent with offroad touring.
Awnings can be Mounted directly to the rack - beside the tent using our Awning to Rack kit - Listed here https://www.toughtouring.com.au/product-page/awning-to-tough-touring-rack-bracket-up-or-down-mount
Our custom designed rails and Aluminium Top hat crossbars form a super strong, low foundation for your chosen roof top tent and Awning Combination. Capable of handling typical Hardshell Tent loads on Off road environments -
The Tough Touring Racks are so low they help wind drag and noise from bulky Tents, while the low profile and forward positioning that the rack provides moves the weight of the touring gear lower and futher forward than traditional touring racks - which also help reduce body roll /improving vehicle stability.
The LC 100 Once Piece Rack we supply has been designed with ' shorter rear' , allowing pole less wing awnings to swing through their arc and be set up with minimal fouling on the rear doors Wind fairing. This also allow RTT to sit lower and not foul on the large accessories Aerial mounted on the 100.
The roof top tent option of this rack allows "independent awning to tent fittment" For tents that cannot handle fitment of awnings directly to the tent...
We also manufacture Awning to Tent Brackets for the vast majority of roof top tents. See more on these here - https://www.toughtouring.com.au/tent-to-awning-brackets
If you have to install the awning directly to the roof top tent rack, ensure that you order planks around 50-75mm Wider than your tent.... You will need a 4th back plank to do the job nice...We call this type of roof top tent installation "Independent awning to Tent Install" - Its common to have to do it this way If your Going to run a low sidewalll Roof top tent - or a plastic tent / weak sides, no slots etc and cannot ensure tent stiffness for 'AWNING TO TENT' install - see the information page here on options to install your Pole less wing awning directly to the rack (Independently to the tent) - https://www.toughtouring.com.au/tent-to-vehicle-kits More on this below here. .

ABOUT THE RACK - THE EXTRAS
The One piece rack we supply we've kept it short at the rear, allowing pole less wing awnings to swing through their arc and be set up over the space above the rear door, stopping rain ingress,, Its also important to keep roof weight forward as it improves vehicle handling etc as well...
Please note that if your wishing to accessing a roof top tent from the rear on the 100 series, YOU CANNOT USE THE STANDARD LADDER HERE, as the Wind fairing fouls on the tent unless you fit it RIGHT back at the rear which will cause other issues...
We'd reccommend you fit an aftermarket rear door ladders (One that is fixed to the vehicle) .. on this vehicle is Our rack design takes into account this option, as fitting the tent forward offers more of the the pro's and less of the cons
Alternatively The 100 series has no issues with ladder access from the drivers side of the vehicle.INCLUSION LIST
