I have a Eezi-Awn 1800 on top of my 100 with the AO load bar system.
FYI, i had the EA1800 mounted to my 80 with the AO full rack and found it to be a complete waste of $ and weight
Personally, i think mounting a RTT to a "Rack" is a complete waste of $ and the tent will take up so much of...
No, i asked him, i was thinking of getting the stock Chromies powder coated too, same price.
While i was there, he was powder coating some 18" BMW M5 alloys as well, came out awesome, he said due to the size and clear coat, they are $55 each
I had the same problem on my 80 AND my 100
I replaced the 80 series studs with aftermarket pieces and 2 stripped and 2 broke!
I replaced the 100 series studs with OEM and they fit great and held up perfect!
I strongly recommend OEM studs, its worth the $ to do it right/once IMHO
Yeah, i contemplated that as well, but now i am thinking that i will add a new "loom" out of the 6-8 new wires that will be added and it will all look OEM anyway! :D
