Are those cage nuts used to mount the bike rack?

Yeah dude, i randomly found those at Ace Hardware. Like 6 bucks a piece lol. They slid into the rails groove perfectly to mount the rails to the brackets, then i used 3/8" bolts to mount the brackets to the tent. The heads of the bolts slid perfectly inside the groove of the tent then i just hit them real quick with my 1/4" impact with some locktite and some revlock to make sure they dont back off.
 
Yea, I've mounted plenty of heavy servers in racks using those, but I would be worried about them vibrating loose off road. The ones I use are like M6 or M8 hardware so what you've got is probably stronger.
 
Took the truck out with the fam up to Big Meadows (above Hume Lake) for its first shake down run with the new to us RTT. It was a blast! A lot different than trailer camping. Wes and I slept great. Wife, not so much lol. So I’ll have to figure out some type of topper for her to be a little more comfortable. I think for the first time, I have the setup pretty dialed. We didnt do a lot of dirt miles, just basically parked and had a good time. We have another trip this weekend to Dinky Creek (above Shaver Lake) where we plan to stay for 3 days. Base camping is super fun depending on your group, but I really want to do a point to point trip with the setup.
