Saltek Motorsports makes some very high quality stuff. I got the switch pro mount, Ditch light mount, and the dash mount all work great. And when I asked him about the Bluetooth capabilities of the switch pro he went back and redid the interior mount to be able to use that capacity he pulled all the old mounts that he had out of service and send everybody that had ordered a switch pro mount from him a brand new bracket free of charge that to me is customer service at its best and he will always have my business because he stands behind what he does.

Saltek ditch light bracket looks ok but wish the bolts were not exposed when looking from the front of the car

This is my favorite mod so far. It's subtle, but evocative.

Thank you smithbp.

Yes, I tried various brackets first to get the awning to the correct height for stability, ergonomics and looks and ended up using the Powerful UK Explorer mounts . . .

Then I used the ARB Quick Release Mounts under the rack . . . . . ARB Quick Release





The Powerful UK Explorer mounts are flush with the rack frame so I can still utilise the whole roof rack for storage.
