Hi @grnamin. Can I ask what cross-bar setup you are using to support your rooftop carrier? I have resorted to the Thule pro bars with the high towers, but your photo shown what looks to be a much better integrated system. Thx.

drill, bolt, nylock. Use stainless fasteners when you can.
I used Alu-Cab load bars and feet for the Grenadier.

Many brands of light brackets on the market. I needed my work light to sit it below the rack load surface and still clear the rear door, so I made mount from stainless plate. Custom bent to fit, and uses standard Rhino Rack hardware.

Hey - want to hear everyone’s opinions. I am looking at 270 awnings, and REALLY like the look of the Alu-cab. Looks so much easier than the RR Batwing. I have the RR RDB stock cross-bars - not thrilled with wind noise so leave them off for the most part. I’m trying to find out if the Alu-cab awning is compatible with those with an adapter bracket. But, if not, what do you guys think about the Leitner load bars vs Alu-cab? I like the fact that both seem to mount to the grab bars vs the airline rail. I’m not interested in a full or partial rack. Just load bars that I can use to mount an awning to.I used Alu-Cab load bars and feet for the Grenadier.

I think the Alu-Cab feet and load bars are one of the best. Solid build, barely any wind noise when driving. I've since then switched over to the Leitner ACS rack so I can carry more gear on the roof. It also helps that three 270 degree batwing awning brackets can be installed on the Leitner. With the Alu-Cab load bars, you're limited to two. The Leitner load bars are a better bet if you need three brackets mounted.
Oh - good point. I think for the XL Alu-cab awning, they recommend 3 brackets. I was just planning on the regular awning. Wonder how easy it is to mount the Alu-cab awning to the Leitner bars. Also, any opinion on how easy it is to mount and take off the 2 options?
I'm mounting an OpenRoad 270 awning using Leitner and RacksBrax quick release brackets in the next few days. Will keep you posted.
Which brackets are you using?

Can you post some pictures of the brackets and how they attach to the Grenadier? It looks like a very simple solution.
Like the roof rack set up any chance of some close up photos, especially the brackets.
Let us know how
let me know how that turns out - I might copy you, but with the Leitner load bars. Really like the quick release option, as well. Leitner said 2 was sufficient- that it didn’t need 3These:

Update here…
Have you tried mounting an awning to the crossbars? They look great. What do you think about wind noise at higher speeds (with only the bars on)? I hated it with the RR RDB’s that my Ineos dealer put on, so I just took them off.
Will do tomorrow, ping me if I forget.
