What light strip do you have in the awning?

It's the one that was pre-installed in the IronMan 4x4 awning. But it looks like a generic strip type, and an adapter to plug into the cigarette lighter.

I like it a lot. Good value for the money. The three burner is a beast! We use it 3-4 times a week when not camping in the summer in the back yard. And for group camping it's great!

Pros

Amazing heat output (30K BTU per burner)

Large cooking area makes cooking for large groups a breeze

Dynamic accessories makes it easy to BBQ, Griddle / Pan Fry / Dutch Oven, whatever you want to do with the three burners.

Free Standing

Integrated push button Piezo starter

Reliable

Sturdy

Portable

Accessory carrying case fits like a glove and is heavy duty.

Accessory folding shelves work great!

Burners are cast aluminum and therefore lighter than previous versions.

Will last for many, many years.

Cons

Heavy

Bulky

Burners are like 3" from the grate, so small pans with plastic handles can get burnt

Sometimes can be difficult to use low flame in windy conditions. I use foil to block holes in stove box against the manufactures recommendations--but hey it works!

steel construction, so beware of weather, rust. I stripped mine bare when brand new and painted the whole thing with hi-temp BBQ paint. The factory cover does work great for protecting it on the patio while not in use. It makes it waterproof from the top down... But the con with the factory cover is that you have to remove the windscreen and all accessories and fold the shelves in. So it's just extra work...

Imported from China.

No prob. Another one to look at is Partner Steel Stove. Lotsa river rafters and Expo crowd folks really enjoy them.

I bought the awning for $225. It's basically a 2 meter ARB awning, but rebranded IronMan 4x4. Not sure if there's any difference at all. It's probably my favorite camping mod done to the truck. Crucial for Baja camping and way easier to set up and far more secure than a $20 tarp. The LED is a nice addition too and throws off tons of light.

Awesome pics! Is that your fire pit or from a campsite? Just curious as I have an old stainless washer tub that I take out for when I'm not in a campground and it looks just like this.

That's cool, was thinking going CVT 99 and just add LED strip. very cool setup, how does it hold up in wind and heavy rain (if experienced)?

For camping in the state park you need a metal container for fires and have to pack out your ashes. Old porcelain washer tubs make great redneck fireplaces!

It has two anchor points at the corners and I use 550 paracord, carabiner tensioners, and some tent stakes to lock it down. It was pretty windy when I got there, which made setup tough, but once it was in place it was totally solid. Haven't used it in the rain yet, but the fabric is supposedly "mildew resistant" so you can put it away wet without an issue.

This may be cheating since I just got my Tacoma yesterday. This is a camping trip that I've done every year for 19 of the last 23 years. The Tacoma will make it in 2014.
