ARB awning to Thule loadbars

Hi guys, anyone have suggestion for a nice solid bracket kit to mount an ARB awning to traditional square Thule load bars?

I found these, which are surely cheaply priced but wondering if there is something else i should consider. At that price it doesnt make sense to spend time making something..

 
I used simple “L” brackets, don’t remember the size. The holes lined up perfectly, measure from the center of each each mounting groove and then match it up with the bracket at your favorite home center/hardware store.

I just drilled a few holes in the ARB brackets and bolt them straight to unistrut. You may be able to do something similar to any square profile crossbar.

Thanks guys..

outback97, thats what i did as well. Just oriented the brackets up since my Jeep sits low with a 2" lift. Little tall above roofline but clearance underneath is good.

Reached out to OK4WD, the deluxe annex will work with my awning but he's got none in stock and ARB is backordered.
