Awning on factory rack (1 Viewer)

[CardinalFJ60]

I don’t yet have a rack in my 06 LX, but wanted an awning. I had the chance to swing by the world headquarters for Gamiviti last weekend and installed really slick and nicely engineered brackets. They are quite versatile and will accept quick fists, maxxtraxx, and a variety of other things. Highly recommend these for us without a roof rack.

Nice! Brackets are plug and play with no drilling of the OEM rack? Are the brackets these Roof Rack Receivers on their page, or something else?

yep!! plug and play. the design uses like a track-lock that slips into the factory rack inside rail. they are similar in style to the Multi brackets on the site now. I'll find another pic or two and post them.

here are a couple pics that illustrate the mounting a little better. it took maybe 20min to install including moving my ski rack around and chasing washers that I kept dropping. I think they appear here: Multi Brackets — Gamiviti and are the gen. 2

Hey thanks @CardinalFJ60 for the props! I think that awning looks just right up there, always fun to bolt up new stuff also, glad everything worked as designed.

Tim this is awesome. I’ve been scratching my head trying to figure out the best way to mount my awning to my 200’s factory rack. I didn’t know you had these!
Looking at your website I figure to mount a Rhino Rack Sunseeker I just need the 2 multi brackets and the oem roof rail kit?
I got them in the cart ready to go I just wanted to make sure.

Hey right on, glad this is what you're looking for! Yes you are correct, just need the OEM rail hardware and you're good to go, thanks!

Thanks. Order placed!
Now I just need to hurry up and talk my wife into one of your racks so we can pick it up on the way to HIHX this year

fyi no noticeable wind noise and doesn't interfere with rear hatch opening.

Nice, thanks for the report! Also I got some install instructions put together, which makes it a little clearer how all this works... multi bracket install — Gamiviti
