Attaching an ARB awning to an ARB roof rack questions.

[MoGas]

I am looking at getting an ARB awning and I have an ARB roof rack. My neighbor has an ARB awning on his JK with a Garvin Wilderness rack using the ARB brackets. I had modified the center bracket to fit for him as it was a little tall to fit between his rack and rack brackets. I can't figure out how the ARB awning brackets would mount to the ARB rack brackets. They are the same width. Is there a different bracket or do I just drill holes in the uprights on my rack to mount the awning to?

I will take and post some pics to help if needed.

THX.

MoGas,

I have mine drilled and mounted to the uprights on my ARB rack and it has worked well for the past 3 years with no problems.

ARB offers a fitting kit (mounting brackets) for the awning to the rack. Basically they are an L shaped unit that allows you to mount them sans drilling the uprights. Any dealer selling the awning should be able to set you up with the brackets as well.
