Brackets for the awning did not fit the ARB pattern. Off to the hanger and do a little fabbing. I simply cut of one side of the stock bracket, and welded a tap on it. Simple and it works great.

Did you have to make new holes on the new welded piece? or do you only use 2 bolts?

If memory serves me correct I drilles two each holes in the welded add on piece as well for a total of 4 on each mount.

Make sure you're on level ground with a bunch of space around (learned that pretty quickly, see photo.) The hardware is very well labeled in separate baggies, so you will not have any issues with that. If you are assembling it yourself, you will need a couple jacks and bunch of jackstands. Having another person help is handy but not required. Powertools/impact is ver

Having another person help is handy but not required. Powertools/impact is very handy to have, especially with taking it out of the metal crate it came in. It's easy, just take your time.

I would like to know how you guys were able to get it delivered to a residential address? I was told commercial address with forklift or loading dock. then when I ordered it from 4wd parts was told loading dock only.

I ordered mine from Northridge4x4 in January of 2018 and selected Truck Freight. They delivered it with a semi (I posted photos earlier) that backed into my cul-de-sac and the trailer had a lift gate. There was no issue unloading it but I had to leave it on the street next to my house overnight as I did not have a way to get it over the curb and onto my driveway. I say rent a trailer or a uhaul with a lift gate and pick it up from 4WD parts.

Hi 83-Cj8, I bought mine from Vivid Racing and since their smittybilt warehouse is in Compton CA, I told them that I was going to pick up my self. I only waited about 3 weeks to get it. The best part was that they did delivered from the warehouse to my place and I did not pay any shipping for the local delivery. "Yay". I just put it together this past Saturday.

Thanks The Wolf, but the thank you goes to Garrett77 who found Dirtworx and Rob, and came up with the idea! Rob will install my bumper this Saturday, here're the pics. The tire carrier will also carry a gas can holder.

So you have to drill a few holes in the tub to install it? Trying to understand how it mounts.

Hi Silverback, are you referring to the rack or the bumper?

The bumper.

 

[Catalanbull]

Hi Silverback, drilling 6 holes is required. You can see the mounts in some of the pics.
