    UPDATE: I will be out of commission starting tomorrow until the end of the month. I will be in the hospital, surgery/recovery. For those that haven't Pmed me their shipping info, I will try to get it done today if you get it to me in a timely manner. I will check in on this thread from time to time and will respond to PMs as well. If anyone has a question, please don't hesitate to PM me. If I don't wake up from the anesthesia, you're SOL. If I've forgotten anything anyone has requested, please remind me of it today so I can take care of it before I go in.
    Thanks guys!

    If you supplied your address and paid for shipping it has shipped

    Either my awning is here, or someone sent me a 2m green dildo....

    Yep.
    Got my awning and annex boxes in yesterday, they arrived in perfect condition. Haven't had the chance to open them up and check everything yet.

    Thanks again @SoCalTacos, and best wishes with the surgery and recovery!

    Got mine as well. Thing is awesome
    Now to weld up some mounts for it on my bed cage and add some paracord zipper pulls and she’s ready to camp!

    I’d love to get a couple sides of the annex for it

    Not sure if there will be a round 5. Just not certain there will be enough interest. If there are at least 20 units, I'd consider doing another for you guys. But, it does take up my time and I'm not getting anything other than the satisfaction of helping you guys out with a good deal. For those of you that haven't gotten me their shipping info for this round, please do. Those that have and still haven't received their awning or annex, I apologize, as this hospital stay coupled with my shipping program being down for the past few days has put a delay on the shipping. It will be up and running on Monday, hopefully.
    Thanks!

    Got mine installed. Setting it up right now. The cross bars that interconnect along the top of the legs, how many long and how many short are we supposed to have with a square awning? I have 3 long and 1 short. I just feel like it is trying to stretch the fabric way too tight trying to pull it up on through the eyelet

    Mine didn’t come with instructions lol

    Never mind. I figured it out finally

    I would like some info on how to fold it back up to fit back in its “bag” easier though

    That’s the problem I had. I got it all back in there, but was NOT easy with one person! Was watching YouTube videos of people setting them up/ taking them down and they all make it look so easy.

    I did the same lol, I found out that you fold it over from left to right, then roll it up in the middle. Setting it up by yourself is kind of a pain, but it is doable. I didn't want the arms to just hang down from the hinge while assembling it, but Ill figure out little tricks to setting it up easier the more I use it

    Can you share how you mounted the bracket in your Brute Force Fab bed cage? I have the same one, short bed but would like to see other options how to mount it. Thinking of have someone fabricate a tab for me and weld it so I can put it on or off whenever I need it.

    Well I actually used the brackets that came with it for temporary use. I did this so I can play with how high or low I want it mounted, once I figure out exactly where I want it, I will then fabricate some permanent mounts and just weld them to the cage

    I used ubolts from tractor supply for now along with the brackets that were supplied. I think I’m going to add a third mount in the center just because I’d rather overbuild it

    I might have to make my own bracket as I have a wider tent. I'm also thinking of making it higher. Brute Force Fab bed cage is low and I don't want the water running towards the bed when it rains.

    I have been tossing the idea around for months of making my cage taller too

    It’d put my tent and awning up higher which is mainly what I want.

    But definitely have to make and weld your own mounts for the awning
