    ARB Awning + ARB Roof Rack

    Hey Guys,
    I have a 2.4m ARB awning that i have had fro a few years, and i recently (Today) got the ARB full length alloy roof rack, anyone have this set up mounted?

    If so how did you go about mounting it? is there a bracket from ARB?

    cheers

    Hi dean,

    Yes I have this basic setup. My rack is not ARB but identical. Very very simply to mount it. Just mount it to the uprights of the rack by drilling holes in the rack. Lot straight through.

    If you want pics I have a heap mate.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    No need to drill holes either, if you don't want to, ARB also have the U bolt mounting brackets. I'll take some pics later and post them here for you.

    That's what I'm after Hodge. Pics would be awesome.

    Also anyone mounted lights on the Rack? I'm thinking a work light on either side and maybe two on the back as reversing lights/ nickoff lights / work lights.

    Thanks Hodge, don't suppose you know what those brackets are called? I just visited ARB at Artarmon, and he just told me they don't do a bracket. And to drill.

    Mudrunner, any chance of those pics mate? I'm get the idea just ant to have a look before I start drilling.

    The awning should come with a couple of big L brackets and you can U bolt those on.
    I just drilled into the rack.

    I just drilled through the uprights of the rack and through the awning, with 2 bolts on each of the 3 uprights.
