New to GXOR - Batwing on stock rails?

[kengalbraith]

Hi y’all! After being semi active on the FJ62 mud threads for a bit, I decided to dump my current daily (pm me if anyone wants to buy a V70R) and also join over here and grabbed this 03 GX that I have dubbed Blucifer! Immediately took it camping and slept great in the back with the second row out. Loved every minute of my 10 hours on the highway as well - this thing is comfortable to drive distances. My MPG wasn’t even that bad (20 on highway) as my research told me it was!
My question is has anyone attached a bat wing awning to their stock bars and if so how did you do it? Found a deal on one and want to grab it but don’t want to buy a whole new rack. Thanks in advance for any advice and brackets that might be needed. Happy to be part of Club GX!

Not on the stock crossbars, but I was able to install my Batwing Compact using their Pioneer Rack mounts on a set of LFD off-road crossbars. I drilled an extra hole into the mount and made a large square washer to back up the nuts underneath the crossbar.

I know the rago fab awning brackets dont work with the rhino batwing.....but people have used the gamiviti multi brackets with the batwing.

The link below shows a few different configurations. near the bottom of the page they talk about the rhino wing and what hardware is needed.

Your solution for adding accessories to any roof rack. Mounts to Gamiviti rack plates, OEM racks, extrusion racks, or any 1” cross bar.

Sweet! Thanks @Tanner H. Just messaged Gamiviti to ask about the compatibility. Also read through that 9 page stock bar discussion you are in
