Awning, which one would work on the OEM Toyota roof rack?

So far, Yakima Slimshaddy 6.5' and 8' are the only ones seem to fit.

Any other options?

 

interested to know as well, did you find any others?

 

Nope, bought the Yakima 6.5, just arrived today and the installation is pretty straight forward, took me about 15 minutes.

 

A 10x10 EZ-up.

 

Hell, I have 1"x10' metal pipe u-bolted to my Thule bars with a ½"x10' inside that. Slide it out 5' and bungee boxstore tarp to it and boom! Half the price and much more coverage.

 

Nice! I might go this route. If you don’t mind, do you have any pictures of it stowed?

 

That’s one rusty pipe, lol. Otherwise , I dig your setup.

 

Haha yeah I don't know why the horizontal bar rusted so fast. Pulling it to sand and paint is on the to-list before it gets cold. Plan is to utilize that space behind the truck as a 3 sided space for winter cooking out of the elements and mud room

 

Do you happen to have a picture of the 6.5 stowed?

 

I can take one later, had to take it off to get the truck washed.

 

sounds good, thanks. how are you liking the yakima awning so far?

 

I bought it solely for the mounting system, the one-person deployment is as cumbersome as any other awning on hard surface.

The construction of the awning is rock solid, not feeling flimsy at all.

I only used at work since the weather is getting nicer and I can enjoy setting up my office outside.
