hee hee- your truck has a carport built in!

That looks quite nice.

That looks very nice. Please provide more info about the product; more pictures would be appreciated as well.
 
Anything specific on pictures you guys would like?

I have an ARB Touring Rack. RTT to go on this weekend thanks to CVT.

The awning is an ARB 2500 and the mounting brackets are ARB touring rack mounting brackets. Part number 370200.
 
Yeah, what they said.
Nice cover.
I'm looking to jimmy rig my own set up. Could you throw some pics up of what it looks like in the closed position and what you do with the metal rods when closed.
Thanks

Here are some additional shots. Closed and showing the brackets.

The metal support pieces collapse and fold into the frame of the awning. The awning simply unrolls. There are some good You Tube videos of it if you search ARB Awning.

Nice setup,I just got one the other day and was wondering what it would look like.I did not know you had to order the brackets for the touring roof rack. Do you have to drill any holes into the roof rack brackets? Was going to make my own,if it was'nt too hard.Looks clean,now you can park your other car under it...hehehe:clap:

I ordered the specific ARB brackets. They sandwich between the rack and the gutter feet. No holes and they are beefy. I had to wait because they were on back order, but I am glad I did. Lots of adjustment in them too. I'm impressed.
 
Sweet setup- wonder how it hold up to high winds; do you mind sharing total cost of the setup?

I got the awning at autoanything. They run a lot of promotions and I received 10% off and free shipping. The 2500 ended up costing with discount $195.46. The touring rack and brackets I ordered through 4wheelparts. I was able to get it on sale and free shipping to their store. The rack with fit kit was $988 and the brackets $74.99. The part number for the brackets is 3700200.
 
Thanks for the pics.
It oughta come in handy this summer.
Enjoy.
 
Thanks for the info and part numbers; I really like your mod and will save my quarters to get it done sometime soon- ill start with the rack.
 
What's that rack weigh? I have an old confer rack that I want to ditch and replace with something that will not be a sail but will take a RTT and an awning. But with ALL this stuff and a 2F being, well a 2F, my truck needs to go on a diet
