Eezi Awn 2.2 Meter Roof Rack Install (Detailed with Lots of Pics!)

[MENTION=88975]Swarty[/MENTION] and [MENTION=123786]Keith_PDX[/MENTION], are you guys planning to see if the table will fit with the short legged K9 rack soon? I just received my 2012 Camry XM low profile antenna and eager to get the roof rack and table on but would love to confirm the table will work with the short legs and the low profile antenna. If it will work without the antenna with the short legs, I think I'll make plans to relocate the antenna forward of the moon roof and install a custom roof guard in the oEM antenna hole to prevent roof scratches from taking the table in and out.

The table will definitely not fit with the short legs. I have the table and i removed my XM antenna. The image below is with the standard height legs. Paul over at Equipt also confirmed the table will not work with the shorter legs.

Bumping this to see if anyone has pictures of the k9 rack with the 40mm legs they can share. Preferably without anything mounted on it.

Also has anyone found a ladder that works with this rack?

Thanks

Great writeup! I referenced it when i installed mine. It looks like you've had it for awhile now, have you noticed any issues? I have a '17 trd off road with a rack and rtt and noticed today, after anout 5k miles of use, it appears my headliner is a little wet. The only thing i did differently was i didn't put that silicone on the washers. Hopefully that's not my downfall...

I just installed my k9 2.2 with the 40mm legs. I chamfered the corners of the middle 3 legs on each side in order for it to sit a little lower. There's 2.5" clearance (minus the ghetto sharkfin replacement) at the back and just over 2" at the highest point towards the middle of the roof. Could be a little higher if you don't chamfer the legs. Here's some photos...

Did anyone paint black or replaced the bare metal bolts that you can see on the sides of the rack?

Just curious what the clearance is on the front with the 40mm legs.

Would a Baja Design’s onx6 at 2 3/4” fit with the shorter legs

Oh man was this my downfall! Haha. Looking back at this is kind of embarrassing. So I would say about a month into my 2.5 month road trip I found I was taking on water from where? You guessed it. Those holes without silicone. Made a pit stop at some friends of the family just north of Portland, OR, spent about $7 on some silicone and fixed my issue. After that, not a single issue. Been >30k miles now with the rack and tent!
