I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ROOF BARS.

I want to connect a 2x4 to the oem Chrysler crossbars on my JT errr........van cough cough, so I can screw an awning to the 2x4. The cross bars are fat in the front and thin at back, like a wing. Any kind of thule/Yakima mount that will connect to these bars, so I can connect the 2x4 to the mount? I don't want to drill a hole through the bars to secure this 2x4.

The awning I'm getting isn't compatible with my cross bars without first putting their roof rack on.

I found this thing, i think I can just use a long bolt through the 2x4 and go through the body of this thing, Thoughts? Also are OEM bars directly compatible with one brand or another, or is the wing design just a generic thing?

Thanks peeps!

I CALL BULL SHIT ! You-So-Funny ? Ye who TOUTS HIMSELF on "doing all the research" - yet you didn't in the other thread, by the way, the one about 270 degree awnings ! In the Northern Hemisphere it's always DRIVERS SIDE . . . and by the way, in the Southern Hemisphere, for you Aussies & Z-landers, it's also the DRIVERS SIDE ! Driver always takes precedence !


:like: :clap: :LOL:
