Posting how I did this in case it's useful for anyone else.
I plan to buy a proper rack within the next year or so (thinking Front Runner). But in the meantime, I have my ol' Yakima round bars.
I bought the ARB brackets from 4WheelParts. I went with the newer, beefier part #813402 rather than the older, flimsier looking #813401. Here are the links:
- ARB Awning Bracket - 813402
- ARB Awning Bracket - 813401
Then I went to Home Depot and bought U-bolt pipe fittings and the metric bolts/nuts that go in the ARB awning. I'm not going to post all of the part numbers, but hopefully you can see them in the pics.
Rattle can painted it black to match.
Little makeshift, but it feels solid and I think it will work ok!
