    While that build is looking good, I think he wanted to see a powder coated Green Alpha, not a black Bravo...

    Forever modding!
    Fun fact if you are doing a setup like mine... this is the max capacity of a 1/2in hole:
    - 3 x 18 gauge
    - 5 x 16 gauge
    - 2 x 10 gauge

    Also if you order speaker 10 gauge cable like I did, you have to remove the extra clear coating otherwise it won't fit through the hole in the roof.

    I also ended up running my wiring through the grommet under the drivers side seat instead of the front firewall.

    Neither rack is adjustable now as we have dialed the height and don't want to risk sliding.

    Ahh ok, just finish watching the first youtube video you linked with the orange taco and his was. Mainly wanted to find out if I buy both the Bravo and Bravo EX, if it will be completely level and flat on top across both or will it be uneven like the Prinsu offerings. The Prinsu cap rack sits higher than the cab rack which I don't like.

    Does this mean I could possibly switch out my old school brackets for new school ones?

    Always in process
    I would love to get some fixed mounts as well! I have an Alpha XL and will have to look when I get home which piece of mine is slotted

    Fixed mounts would be awesome. Hopefully its a tad taller, as my middle bar is about paper width from the roof. That also may stop some possible squeaking I hear from the bolts.
    @upTOPoverland That reminds me, is there a new set of bolts with lock nuts that we are supposed to use to secure the armortek to the groovetek? I know the original ones are just long enough to hold the two together.
