    I'm looking at purchasing an ARB 2500 awning but I have concerns on how to mount it to my truck. I have a DCSB with Leer cap. I have Yakima round bars on the cap, and will be installing the OEM cab roof rails this weekend.

    The awning measures at about 98.5" in length. That basically goes from my front door to the end of the cap. The Yakima bars will probably only be supporting about half of this awning. I can't imagine how I'd be able to attach the front to the OEM cab roof rack.

    Does anyone else have a similar setup and/or can shed some light on how this long awning attaches to your truck?
