Awnings

For those that are running awnings on their trucks please post up any photos, brands and how you are mounting them. Looking to get one for the upcoming camping season. Anyone?

 

If you check out the Expedition Portal forums you'll find a bunch of people with Fiamma Pro 35 or ARB awnings with a variety of mounting methods.

 

Anyone mount one to the factory roof rack?

 

I have an ARB 2000 mounted to a Front Runner roof rack.

 

I have an ARB on my Vw. Good awning for the money

 

Only a short rack on my DCSB, so a 50 inch ARB works just fine.

 

I have a Fiamma 35 Pro mounted to a Kargo Master roof rack that came with the snugpro cap. I had to mod it for the cvt. I mounted the awning with a couple of Fourtreks modular clamps. Works great.

 

I have the short 4' arb on my roof rack to go next to my tepui RTT on my bedrack. I mounted it with some L-brackets and tiny ubolts from the hardware store.

 

I have a ARB 2500 on the way and mounting it with these.

You can probably use them on any aftermarket rack.

 

Can you post some pictures of how you mounted it to the roof rack?

 

Yeah. when I get home after work

 

Good looking truck man!

 

Thanks

 

Thanks guys, lots of options.

 

I just ordered a Shady Boy awning with the silver reflective fabric. It's 15 lbs and only 50" long so I can mount it to my Front Runner Rack which is 48" long, just have to figure out spacing so it doesn't interfere with my RTT.

it setups up quick and gives a 10 foot by 6 foot awning.

Pictures of how I attached my awning for less than $3. Its on there solid too. Moves the whole truck if I try to shake it.

 

Very nice and simple.

 

Yep did some research and found arb brackets that were plastic for over 30 bucks plus shipping and I was like I can do better for less. Two half inch sheet metal screws. Two big L brakets for a $1 each and two small ubolts for a few cents

 

Yeah that's nice. I was to get an awning but need to figure out how to mount it to the stock roof rack.

 

Anyone have a good option for mounting one to a baja utility rack? Over $100 for their mount is ridiculous.
