Trevor Ryan goes through step by step how to easily install a Darche 270 onto a backbone roofrack. This installation was on the Australian made Tradesman Wedgetail.
Wouldnt it of been easier to bolt brackets to rack first,then mount the awning to the brackets and adjust the awning to desired spot before tightning the nyloc nuts?
Hey Hillzy,,, we install a few here and not always people around to give me a hand. I like brackets first as I can at least hold it in place with a cable tie while I do the bolts up. :)
@@DirtRoad4x4 thanks. I have found 26mm ones, mounting on a Yakima platform. Do you think that would be long enough? Also, how much of the bolt sticks out above the bracket? Is it going to poke up into other things loaded on that part of the platform?
At 4:48 the bracket is facing one way, and 5:11 it's the opposite. I'm about to install it with the brackets orientated the way you ultimately did as it seems to sit lower, but it's not what the Darche instructions say. Had any issues?
