We have licensed our own security nut system that is keyed specifically to us. No other company on the planet has this same security nut key and it only fits in 1 specific orientation. This is exponentially safer than standard security hardware. The other option is our Tri-Groove security nuts. During our testing we found that some brands tri-slot nuts can be taken off with many different sockets however ours has a unique angle to the nut which helps prevent multi-socket use. The proprietary nut key requires about 2.5" of room to get onto the bolt, it will also bottom out on bolts that are too long so if you have to re-use your stock hardware it is best to err on the side of caution and order the tri-slot security nuts instead.

While we try our hardest to maintain accurate stock levels, these unprecedented times have stressed our logistics to their breaking point. That being said, because our mounts are all made locally and out of USA sourced materials, we are faring better than most! Typically mounts will not be out of stock for longer than 3 weeks time at most, and most in stock ship within 48 hours, so check back soon!

Refer to the sizing guide above! If that doesn't fully answer your questions you can e-mail us directly at wheeleveryweekend@gmail.com and we will help you out. Please include measurements of your current bars and a photo, otherwise we can't help, calipers are best for measurements, you can pick one up for 2 bucks here: Harbor Freight Calipers

99% of tents use an aluminum slider designed for a 13mm hex head on a 8x1.25mm bolt. Some of the recent tents out of Korea and a few of the Alu-Cab models use a metal plate that has square holes for a carriage bolt. For this style you need to cut the plate in half so each side can move independently and re-use the stock carriage bolts and it will bolt right up, however you will want to select the tri-slot hardware because the proprietary hardware only works with specific length bolts. Here's an example of that sort of tent mount: Carriage bolt style tent mount I believe these styles are being discontinued soon because of the amount of folks who end up having to do that. There is another design that has a giant square head on top of the bolt, if these bolts thread onto the security nuts you can simply re-use them and discard the included hardware. Our mounts are not compatible with any tent rail design that uses 10mm bolts instead of the standard 8mm, or tents with rails that are not parallel to each other.

We can accommodate any custom order amounts. That being said, 8 class 10.9 bolts are rated for approximately 1,000X the weight of your tent. The main reason to run 6 mounts is if your load bars are not connected to each other. With todays modern plastic/thin sheet metal beds, having load bars that are not physically connected to each other can be a detriment to the life of your tent. As the frame of the vehicle flexes and in turn your bed flexes, that vibration and movement will be transferred into your tent if the load bars are not connected to each other. In that situation having 6 mounts makes sense to help reduce a bit of the movement. You can order the normal 4 pack and put in the order notes that you want to be billed for an additional 2 mounts and we will send you a PayPal invoice for the difference.

Returns and exchanges are super easy. We send you a return label, you slap it on the small flat rate box the mounts come in, wrap up the un-used mounts and place them in the box with the hardware and security nuts/socket and send it back. It's that simple! If you need a different size I will happily switch them out for you. A 10% restocking fee will apply to returns so please make sure you check the fitment guide before ordering.

4 total mounts come in the kit, for a detailed list check the "included" section of the product page.

We are expanding our line-up all the time! If you have a load bar you think we should make a mount for let us know, but keep in mind it has to be popular enough to be worth the investment. We do not make custom one-off mounts because they would cost you more than your tent is worth as you would be taking the whole cost of R&D and prototyping the mount on just 1 person, instead of spreading it out over hundreds of orders.

It seems counter intuitive but locktite will actually make your tent loosen up. What happens is; in the first 500 miles (or first offroad trip) after initially installing your mounts and torqueing them to your rooftop tent manufacturers recommendation, the soft aluminum of your tent's rails will "settle" into place. Because of this you will go to check the mounts and they will be slightly loose, this is completely normal and expected... the security nuts/washers themselves have not spun loose, but the space between your tent and the load bars has gotten physically smaller. Because of this, if you apply locktite to the nuts they will give you a false sense of tightness when you check them and eventually your tent could settle to the point that it can rattle/vibrate around. You should check your tent hardware as often as you inspect and check the rest of your vehicle (at least every oil change). Our personal set of mounts were on our truck for over 3 years through about a dozen trips on the Rubicon trail, wheeling during King of the Hammers, hitting whoops at freeway speeds for shock tuning and jumping our truck, with no loose fasteners after the initial torque checks were done correctly.

We no longer offer installs or local pickup since we have been fortunate enough to be able to move our shop onto our own property. Unfortunately this means our insurance will not cover customers at our residential address. All mounts usually ship out twice a week in flat rate boxes which ship very quickly. My goal is to always get them out in time to be installed before the next weekend's adventures, however we are not Amazon and both of us have day jobs.

I hate thieves! I can't imagine thinking it's okay to take someone else's property. With the state of the world, tent theft is getting extremely common. While nothing in this world is truly "theft-proof", you're doing yourself a favor by making yourself a hardened target so they move onto an easy mark. I have seen at least 50 tents stolen this past year alone. Any tourist area or seemingly safe parts of towns are easy targets for guys with bolt cutters and a pickup truck, as seen in my videos. If you have had your tent stolen please e-mail me a copy of the police report with your personal information blacked out and I will send you a set of security mounts free of charge for your replacement tent to give you some peace of mind. I also encourage everyone to get renters insurance which can sometimes cover tent theft.
