Posted in another thread, but here was my beef bar alternative:

  • (x1) 10 Series 1" x 2" Extrusion (don’t recall the length). Bar ends tapped for 1/4".
  • (x2) 6 hole end plate
  • (x4) Stainless 1/4" bolts and washers
  • (x4) GFC T-Nuts (1/4")
  • (x1) Prinsu Maxtrax Mount

Things to note:

  • Get access holes pre-drilled. Allows for easier accessory install (don’t have to mount and dismount), and it allows for any water build up to be drained.
  • Use stainless hardware
  • Use 1/4 GFC tnuts, not 10/32.

I ordered from 8020.net. You can also get some stuff a little cheaper from tnutz.com. I got the gfc nuts from gzila. Took about 4 weeks for delivery. I used this as my build sheet:

The gfn nuts mount the angle to the camper. The bolts and flat nuts mount the angle to the bottom or top of the aluminum bar, the flat nuts go inside the aluminum
