BillieBars - Roof Top Tent HD Mounting Clamps (QTY 4 HD Clamps)
BillieBars - Roof Top Tent HD Mounting Clamps (QTY 4 HD Clamps)
Rooftop tents ship with clamps sized for standard round or square crossbars. BillieBars crossbars are wider than that, which means some tents cannot get enough bite to clamp down properly. These solve it. Four heavy-duty stainless steel plates, form fitted specifically to BillieBars crossbars, that widen the clamping mechanism so your tent mounts the way it should.
The U-shaped bracket design is what makes them work well. It lets all of your factory tent hardware carry over, so you use the nuts and bolts that came with your tent rather than sourcing longer ones. It also reduces the hang below the bar, keeping the whole assembly tighter and cleaner. Made and manufactured in the USA. Sold as a set of four, which is what one tent requires.
Do You Actually Need These?
Not every tent does. Before you add them to your cart, here is the honest breakdown.
✓ You likely need these if you run
A tent from GOFSR (Free Spirit Recreation), Smittybilt, ROAM, and several others. These brands use factory clamps that do not open wide enough to grip a BillieBars crossbar properly.
Do not buy these if you run an iKamper
iKamper tents use their own mounting system. For an iKamper, use the iKamper 1.0 or 3.0 mounts instead. These BillieBars clamps are not the right part for that tent and will not improve the install.
If your tent is from a brand not listed above, the deciding factor is simple: can your tent's factory clamps grip the BillieBars crossbar with full contact and proper torque? If they are stretched to their limit or only catching an edge, you need these. Call us at 844-200-3979 with your tent make and model and we will tell you before you order.
How They Work
Form fitted to BillieBars: These are not universal clamps bent to fit. They are shaped specifically to the BillieBars crossbar profile, so contact is full-face rather than a couple of pressure points. That means proper clamping force and no movement over washboard.
Uses your tent's existing hardware: The U-shape design keeps all factory tent hardware in play. You reuse the nuts and bolts that came with your tent, so there is no hunting for longer bolts in the right thread pitch the night before a trip.
Less hang below the bar: The bracket geometry keeps the assembly tight to the crossbar rather than dangling below it. Cleaner look, less to catch on, and it keeps your tent sitting as low as the system allows.
Stainless steel: These clamps hold your tent to your truck. Stainless means they will not rust, will not weaken, and will still torque properly years from now.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which rooftop tents need these clamps?
They are commonly needed for GOFSR (Free Spirit Recreation), Smittybilt, ROAM, and several other brands whose factory clamps do not open wide enough to grip a BillieBars crossbar properly. If your tent is not on that list, check whether its clamps make full contact with the bar at proper torque. If they are maxed out or only catching an edge, you need these. Call us at 844-200-3979 with your tent make and model and we will confirm.
Will these work with my iKamper?
No. iKamper tents use their own mounting system, and BillieBars specifically directs iKamper owners to use the iKamper 1.0 or 3.0 mounts instead. These clamps are not the right part for that tent. If you run an iKamper on BillieBars, source the correct iKamper mount rather than these.
Do I need extra bolts?
No, and that is the point of the U-shape design. These clamps use the nuts and bolts that came with your rooftop tent. The bracket geometry also reduces how far the assembly hangs below the crossbar, which is what normally forces people to hunt down longer bolts. Everything you need beyond the clamps themselves is already in your tent's hardware kit.
Is one set enough for my tent?
Yes. One set of four clamps mounts one rooftop tent, which is the standard four-point mounting configuration. If you are mounting two tents or have an unusual setup with more than four mounting points, order accordingly.
Do these fit other bed racks?
No. These are form fitted to the BillieBars crossbar profile specifically, which is what gives them full-face contact and proper clamping force. They are not universal clamps and will not fit other manufacturers' bed racks or roof racks. If you run a different rack and your tent will not clamp to it, contact that rack's manufacturer for their solution.
