    Very grateful for the t bolt suggestion. No drilling. I used m8s. Secured without issue.

      How does a T bolt help? I'm looking to setup my ARB awning on my cross bars and have only thought of drilling or using U Bolts to hold the mounting bracket.

    What Anthony said, don't drill! Use a T-Bolt.

    Hey how far apart of the legs to attach to your roof rack? Just curious if there was any info(that you recall) for how lost it could be ?
    I'm going to order one but I know on my car, my roof rack rails are maybe 2'-2.5' wide. so I'm wondering if that would be wide enough for this model

      i know this comment is old as dust. but i wanted to say the same thing. just undo the cross bar and fit the bolt in between the channels trim the bolts if they are too long.

  • @gethynrees6109
    @gethynrees6109 Před 5 měsíci

    Does it not affect the structural integrity of the bars to drill them? These things come with weight limits. Can you still use those numbers as reference after drilling them?

    • @AdventureKings
      @AdventureKings  Před 5 měsíci

      Hi there,
      if you were worried about the structural integrity of the bars you can get tbolts to slide into the crossbars instead of drilling :)
