    Dynatrac ProRock 60 Rear Axle, that is important enough.
    I have not done it yet, but will be doing that soon before I drive to Tennessee on the interstate.

    The doors helped a ton so hopefully will have the same outcome for the roof and whatever I have leftover will be going on the floor.

    4 small bolts that slotted through the rack channels. I then used these to bolt down the universal mount and done!

    Good deal! That's pretty much what I was thinking of trying. I just wasn't sure if there would be enough clearance between the nuts and the rotopax itself now I know. Thanks

    There wasn't enough clearance at first. But I repositioned the bolts so they came up where the indented circle sits close to the mounts. Works great now.

    Thanks for the info. I still have roughly a month or so until my rack is supposed to ship so I'm just trying to get everything in order for when it arrives.

    I searched the thread, but maybe I missed it. Has anyone here used the Prinsu Awning brackets with a Foxwing awning yet? I know the ones that come with the awning set it pretty high up, so just wondering if the Prinsu ones work well on a Foxwing and the awning still clears the doors.

    The only thing with over the cab, there is no room to tuck it under the rack. It will have to stick out which could get caught on things if you are driving through heavily overgrown areas. For over the cab, I'm thinking of some smaller lights.

    looks as though I'm now part of the no response waiting game crowd. Ordered on May 23rd and want to put this on my rig and show it off already!

    Same here. I ordered a couple of weeks after you but before the CBI purchase. Went with no powder coat figuring it may be a week or two quicker. No response to any emails either.

    Any fixes on using the blue tooth in side with rack on - People say its like I'm in a wind tunnel The mic is right under the fairing.

    I'm thinking a different bluetooth mic or some fuzzy on the mic its self in the cab.

    Its not loud in the cab but I get that it may mess with the audio on the bluetooth pone / mic. Maybe the rubber door guard trick? Whats the best one? fit on that? Anyone.
