Quick walkthrough of how I rotated my cross bars of the Tuff Stuff Alpha 2 on my RCI Bed Rack.

Reason for doing this was because:

(1) Tuff Stuff sent me the wrong U brackets, which were supposed to accomodate 3.25" bed rack bars, which my RCI rack is 3.25". The ones received were closer to 2.8" inside width. I waited close to 2 months and still have not received the correct hardware.
(2) Because of (1) I was unable to center the tent to the rack due to the combination of the rack holes and the location of the RTT cross bar.
(3) Because I was tired of waiting for parts without an ETA, and this also requires less bolts as can through bolt instead of using bolts to "clamp" to the rack, thus making it more versatile and easy to install, and also less bolts means less to remove or install each time.

The tools needed for rotating the Alpha 2 Cross bars:
17MM Wrench or ratchet/socket
13/16 or M6 Hex Socket or Allen Key
Locktite (Optional, I did it because I omitted the two outside bolts)
A way to cut the alum T channels; Chop saw, hack saw, jig saw, angle grinder, etc.

Regarding the RTT, it is wrapped in stealth/matte PPF. Tuff Stuff did not come out with a matte version of this tent.

Hope this helps someone.
