Awesome, and is that rack built by yourself? It looks great on the RAM.

Thanks Rin. Yes, built from scratch specifically to work with the truck box and tent. It was a challenge to get everything balanced out just right but I'm very happy with the results.
Link to build in my signature. :sombrero:

For that mounting setup you will need to utilize four of the six bolt holes in the stainless hinge for support.
I haven't personally tried flipping the arms, but interested to know your thoughts on performance.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, I'm happy to help!
Any thoughts on how well the Shadow Awning would work on the Ursa Minor J30? Seems to be similar to the Eezi-Awn, but maybe a little more stout - possibly requiring a heavier mount than what UM has.
(Borrowed that picture with hopes of having my own soon enough.)Got my Exp III installed at OK4WD (with Rin's help) the other day. Really happy with it. Next up is a Shadow, once the mounts arrive from Alu-Cab.
I was between the Exp III and the James Baroud, but ultimately went with the Exp III because the Shadow can mount directly to it using Alu-Cab hardware.
Now I just need to practice going up and down the ladder while carrying the dog...

That should be close enough to work, but I have to wait until later this month until I have a tent again to measure. (keep selling demos
Any new tents in the shop to follow up on this?

MIG. I was having some issues with my wire feed so I had some interruptions in the bead but it all worked out. Got it primed and a coat of paint on it last night.

I will finally be back in the shop this coming friday, crazy show schedule lately. I have a customer with an 80 series that i will be fitting a tent to hopefully in the coming weeks also, but i can get measurements this week.

Just bought an expedition 3. Does anybody know if standard thule or yakima bars attach to the roof rack track?

Similar question ^^ but I am still super confused on how the Expedition 3 tent mounts onto your roof rack.
I'm mounting mine up tonight and am just trying to figure it out, would someone mind posting a few photos of how it mounts? (I don't have the tent with me, it was shipped to a friends house, haven't seen it yet)

The four clamps included inside the tent mount to the bottom channel and the side channel. Then you can bolt the tent downward to your rack or cross bars like this.

Man, that a bit weird. What if you do not have a track on your cross bars/ rack. I have a safari rack and the channels run lengthwise
