We have been searching for a better way to mount our iKamper Mini rooftop tent into our Frontrunner 3/4 extended roof rack.
The factory mounts that came with the tent are not recommended to be used on our frontrunner Slimeline roof rack.
Due to the roof rack's design, the factory mount makes the tent rest on the rack rails/lip, creating a "creaking" sound off-road. We know because we still used it anyway despite the manufacturer's recommendation. Filming with a creaking sound spoils the natural sound, which doesn't work well with our style of content. Moreover, the high-pitched sound will drive you crazy on long road trips.
We also have the frontrunner table under the rack, and we do not leave our Roof Top Tent for the entire year as some people do. We like to do a combination of a ground tent on the weekends and RTT on long trips.
The minimal rattle we experience is a tradeoff we are willing to make for the convenience of removing our rooftop tent whenever we like.
For us, the Frontrunner Quick Disconnect rooftop tent mount kit is the perfect solution for our Overlanding style.

Yes, with some adjustment, the creaking sound will disappear, I guess! Hmmm, preparing for more extensive and more adventures! Looking forward here!😊
Yes, with a little tweaking, the creaking sound will be gone! This was an excellent demonstration of the quick release tent mount kit! You really went into detail about when it might need to be adjusted and even included some close-up shots! 🤗🤗
I always see these rooftop tents more and more and they look really nice. The rattling doesn't seem too bad. Just a few adjustments. Thanks for sharing this. Have a great day!
These types of tents give you so much freedom!
Wishing you a good day, good luck and fun! Every morning brings new hopes and dreams.
Looks like a great setup. Time to get it in use on an adventure! Have a great day.
I liked this test, different terrains, interesting!! Great to read your description box too, thanks MaxD!

perjalanan yang sangat seru dan Menyenangkan
Thank you. Have a great weekend.
I’ve never thought about this. Not that we have a rooftop mount tent, but I can imagine that noise is tiresome on long journeys! 🍻
Good to know that the rattling sounds from cabin doesn’t bother you at all..and yes u must do some adjustment ...regards from kuwait - janice 🌹
NIce upload, thank you for sharing.

This is a great test of the quick release tent mount kit. You really showed all the details of when it could possibly need some adjustment and even showed some close up shots. I was wondering how you filmed this :-) Thanks for sharing.
Good video congratulations here we continue to support a big greeting.

Thanks for showing us this Max. We have 3 tents but all ground ones and have often wondered how roof tops ones hold out in windy weather ? Thanks for the info in description box, Thanks ~ Anna
great video :)
thanks :) have you nice evening ::)
I really enjoyed watching your video. Keep in touch my friend.
Looking forward to watching your videos!!!
Hello my friend. Thanks for this wonderful review. Nice camera angles and sound. I’ve never thought about how tiresome the noise can be on long trips. Have a nice week.
Thank you, you too
I don't think it is rattling too bad and I could probably live with it. But it sure can be annoying when you have a rattle that you can solve or find! Nice test. Have a good day!! 😊
Do keep up the interesting and entertaining Travel and Vlogging work you've been doing over there, take good care too! Have a blessed day, stay safe and stay connected~
Have a great day!
Amazing! Wonderful! Very impressive!
great 👍 job and new supporter here!

Ayos yan bro, looking forward for more family adventures!
Beautiful scenery. Well done video.
Seems stable despite a few rattle. Nice off road drive to test the mount. Big thumbs up from a new follower #777
seems like it preforms really well
I always get so nervous when Im installing something and it makes sounds I cannot explain :D Most my bikes freaks me out when they do that :D
Thank you for visiting. For sure. Have a great weekend.
Nice review, guys. That looks like a great set up.
wow!! Awesome brother! Love it Look very nice on your rig! 🙏
Awesome review! Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous upload bud, fantastic setup.
Thank you.
I love the car tents!! Thanks for sharing!
I've noticed these types of tents are getting more popular, good to know the rattle in minimal inside the cab.
You make great videos!
Interesting to watch and listen! 😍
Big like! 👍69
nice video bro .. cool..
Nice
Nice info and thanks for sharing
It is easy to understand because the camera is attached to the roof of the car for verification.😊
Good test. Looked solid.
There’s roof too tents are very good on Trend now in the UK 🇬🇧 since the new landrover defender came out
(Some fettling and it will be good to go 😊👍🙏🏼)
Best wishes Simon 😊👍🙏🏼
Thanks Simon. The old defenders are cool.
Thanks for sharing this footage, bro! Though I can't really relate to the struggle (because I don't own a car for road adventures yet 😅), still, makes me wonder what will your next trip would look like. Excited to watch your next episode! 🤙
Thank you Leslie. Have a great weekend!
hi lodi,nice video and nice weather
Finding the culprit. Squeaks and rattle adventure!

Can you hear all the rattling on the inside?
When we put our Big Bad on top, it is so loud. Yours is really shaking. It is damaging your top?
Yes, it scratches the roof rack, but it is aluminum, so I'm not too worried. Thinking of a better solution at the moment. Thanks for stopping by!
We have considered getting one of these tents. But we decide it would be too hard for us old people. LOL.
Being old is definitely the downside of rooftop tents. We dont look like it, but we are in our 40's maybe not too old. But, we can definitely feel it every time we go down to pee 😆 . Thank you for always being here.
Looks like it did ok.
It did, but working on making it better. Thanks, Jim. Have a great weekend.
Thanks you nice video🙏🙏🙏
Mines use to rattle a lot and I had to add some rubber pads so it won’t hit my rack and make so much noise.
That's what I'm about to do. Thank you
We can see (and hear) your dilemma. You captured it in video well. As you mention, maybe an adjustment would help. Then I think most folks could live with it, but we see what your saying about recording with it in the background. Could be somewhat distracting. Hope you get it figured out!
Thanks Dave and Kathy. Have a great weekend
Beautiful new sub here! ❤️
Did you had success by adjusting the fit in the end? I have the same problem with them and I already have the plastic version of it...
Yes, I did. I installed the hook angled away from the latch so both pull away, making a tighter latch.
It's impossible to eliminate all the noises, especially in a mount with moving parts. But I got it dialed down so I could barely hear it in the vehicle on rough terrain. I also found out that some of the noise is coming from my roof rack with all the bolts and nuts. I tightened everything and applied lithium grease.
So how do you like it now? Were you able to adjust enough to reduce rattles?
We still like it and have been traveling around with this setup since. I have re-adjusted it by installing the mount on the RTT on a slight angle so that the hook pulls away from the latch creating a tighter latch. Rattles have significantly been minimized, especially off-road.
I don’t think it would bother me since I like to listen to music loud. LoL
Anyone have a good installation video for these quick release mounts? I can’t seem to find one. I just want to verify I’m doing it right.
Hi are you happy with quick release brackets would you recommend buying them what are the two rattly noisy can you adjust the rattles
Hello. Yes. I am happy and still use the quick-release mounts because we like using the table under the rack. I Definitely would recommend it.
It’s impossible to eliminate all the noise since there are too many moving parts. But I got it dialed, that I barely hear it in the cab with windows down. I also found that some of the rattle is coming from the roof rack. I tightened the bolts and applied some lithium grease.
Angle the mounting feet on your tent when you install it so it will make a tighter pull for the hooks. Take care
@@maxdexpeditions ok great thanks
doesn't look too bad - does it make a lot of noise inside the vehicle?
A little bit. I'll make some adjustments, and hopefully, it's better on our next outing.
You got a rooftop camper now? I'm curious to know how that works out, I've always wanted to get one of those.
Thanks, we had it for a while. We use it on long trips for convenience. But on weekends we still prefer ground tents.
Hi, Has Front Runner said anything about fixing the rattle?
Hello. No, I did not contact them. Some customers did in the past, and I think they blamed it on installation. Too many moving parts -there's always room for rattle imo.
Mine does not rattle anymore, even offroad. If it does, I can’t hear it. Slight whistling at highway speeds, but that’s a different issue. What I did was I reinstalled and angled the mounts away from the hooks. I also found that the rack also creates the rattle/ creek in the video, so I re-tightened those and applied fluid film on the bolts.
@@maxdexpeditions awsome! thanks for the intel
Hello, noob here but I have a question. I recently just purchased the similar set up as yours: ikamper 2.0 and front runner slimlime full rack with table that can be stored right under the rack. I am looking at the front runner quick release too. Question is besides the quick release kit, do I need to purchase anything else to be able to mount it with my ikamper 2.0? I hope to hear from you. Thanks! 😊
Hello, thank you for stopping by, Mark. We are no experts. If you have the same Ikamper just like us- MINI 2.0 or 3.0 version, you don't need additional support for the quick-release mount. I know these because I called frontrunner and was told I don't need any additional hardware. But, if you have the regular 2.0 (not the mini version), then it is best to contact frontrunner.
@@maxdexpeditions oh yes, I have the regular skycamp 2.0. I will make sure to contact them. Thank you very much!
@@markalexdaluso927 No problem. Hope everything goes well for you
@@maxdexpeditions I appreciate it man. Thank you and have a good day. Hope to see u in the trail 🤙
Not so bad naman. Can you feel it inside?
A little bit sis. Salamat
your content is well enough to inspire and guide others (the best way ; to appreciate is to visit us) like 84 💐
Hi and thanks, MaxD Expeditions for sharing. Indeed, I sometimes see some well-made products that do not come with an applicable mount for our needs. I hope this video raises some awareness and "Toyota" and "Rooftop Tent Company" come up with a solution. Or maybe somebody....Well documented. Well done and keep coming. Your son must have grown through this summer. 👦🛶🛶🙋♀🙋♀
Thanks! We went to your old stomping grounds in Lake Santeetlah where Mr. Kayak almost ate the ground lol. I love the lake!
@@maxdexpeditions Expect to see a new video???🙋♀🙋♀🛶🛶Yay!

@@ms.kayak7seas Thank you 😆 We don't have social media other than Yt. I tried to start a gram, but I just don't have the time patience to deal with it, so progress is slow.
@@maxdexpeditions You produce videos you satisfy and the number will follow. No worries, I am not even YTber. I am on old-fashioned...no IG, no twitter..I don't post anything on FB, but PM🤣🤣🙋♀🙋♀🛶🛶
