One note that I'm going to make or a little tech tip is going to be, before you get it up on the vehicle, get your crossbars spread and adjust these with Allen keys, the metal brackets here, before you get them in place on top of the vehicle. So, go ahead and lay it upside down on your table or a flat surface floor or whatever and measure them out from the center, there'll be a circle drilled out, and measure that to be the distance of whatever your crossbar spread is. more
