I've been wanting to do this for a long time and have found the perfect rack for me, but I need to know just a few last things....

With a Tepui tent on this rack will there still be room for cargo of any size? I'm not exactly sure which one I have, but it is one of the smaller versions. Ayer 2 if I had to guess (95 pounds) Is it possible to have this tent in the center of the rack and be able to strap down cargo on the front and back? What if I were to put the tent on the front half of the rack? I will be getting the free ladder with it and do not want it to go to waste if the tent can only be used on the rear half of the rack. I hope that made sense!

What is the difference between the Steal rack and the Ranger rack?

Thanks!

Maybe you already got the answers you need but here goes...
I can't address the RTT / space question as I don't own a RTT. I imagine you might be left over with a bit of space to strap a few small bags down. As for the difference between the Stealth and Ranger, I think its main difference is the lower profile on the Stealth. The Ranger's basket rails are taller.

we have a tepui and a stealth rack. not sure if you already pulled the trigger, but there is some room up there if you move the tent forward to the front or back. but not a ton of room. and its hard to open the tent if there is anything in the way of the zipper. I can send pics of what it used to look like for us. unless you already got your answers.
