A: \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"107\" data-path-to-node=\"26\"\u003eUnaka utilizes 15-Series aluminum, which measures 1.5\" wide. This is substantially thicker and more rigid than the 1-inch 10-Series bars found on cheap universal racks, giving you the strength required to haul heavy overland gear safely.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"27\"\u003eQ: Can I slide these bars around after installing my MaxxAir fan? A: \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"69\" data-path-to-node=\"27\"\u003eYes. The beauty of the 8020 T-slot system is that these crossbars can be adjusted forward or backward along your side rails at any time, allowing you to easily \"frame around\" fans, AC units, or roof hatches.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"28\"\u003eQ: Does this crossbar include the mounting brackets to attach to factory tracks?
