In your opinion what is the best option for roof bars and racks on a new GU 8 Patrol. I steered clear of the Nissan bars (Thule) this time, however want something that is easy to mount the ARB awning on - its 2.5m long. Should I be going with something that has 3 or 4 bars? Am thinking steel tray - any views on the ARB setup?

I have my 2.5 mt awning mounted to 2 Rhino aero bars, but made my own mounts.
most mounts go up, I made my fold down. 3 bars would be better but very stable\with 2
will put pic later.

I can get roof racks cheap as my mum works for yakima who supplies supercheap and other 4wd stores :)
