Yeah my Tigers ally rack is good for the price. I rarely put anything heavy on it so alloy I wanted. Except for when we go camping and go to cut firewood, it all ends up on the rack. It has a few bends in it because I just throw the wood up there but its holding out good.
As for the awnings. I just bolted mine up, not using the ARB bracket. The upper bolts are longer than the lower bolts so I could have the awning sitting vertical instead of pointing upwards with the contours of the rack. Worked a treat.
