Made a new truck rack!

Decided I wanted to mount my FoxWing awning from my trailer.

I had some aluminum tube around, and some other shit, so i made a rack and awning mount. Not sure why noone offers this as an option. I may suck the awning in about 1.5-2" but at this point, its the same exact height as an awning mounted to a roof rack, clears the door and fits the bed perfect to wrap around

Wow. I'd call that some pretty impressive fabrication!

 

Clever. Now make that awning arm foldable so it can tuck down and the truck can clear low garages.

 

Love your wheels! I need me a set of those

 

Why?

I have other stuff in my garage

This/\
I'd be concerned it catch on something and tear something up..

Other than that, looks like you did a good job. Sweet truck.

 

Same exact height as if you had a roof rack and an ARB awning

 

I was thinking more about outdoors. Not so much garage..

 

BC the way it's sticking out, not the height per say.. know what I mean?

 

if you look at the picshures, its no wider than the bed flares. Because of the length, i had to have it that far out to clear the passenger door when it opened. It slants down slightly as it opens.

 

Do you have a side profile pic you can post?

 

not at the moment. Thats all i have. I built it after work in about 2.5 hours.

 

Looks great! I think with the RTT mounted it will complete the picture.
