FJ40 and roof top awning

[Rockabilly]

Hello everyone. Long time lurker and this is my first post.

Short story: I'm building my 40 in preparation of a very long trip.

My question: Has anyone mounted a roof top awning on their 40? Worth the effort? What brand/size awning? What brand roof rack?

Thanks in advance.

Check out Straight Six Straight South on Facebook. I think they have a Foxwing on their 40. I have no idea if they are members here.

Thanks! I'll check that out on Facebook.

Lots of great pictures of a well equipped 40 on Straight Six Straight South. The combo of Foxwing and Autohome looks dynamite.

I'd like to know what lift/tire size is on their 40.

I'd also like to know the brand of roof rack. Can anybody ID the rack?

Looks like a custom rack. It's just three pieces of tubing attached to gutter mounts.

The mounts look like Diamondrax triple dog mounts. The owner of the company is a member here.

Good eyes! I knew someone would know.

ARB full size awning attached to gamaviti 3/4 rack turned sideways. This is an older pic, and now I have a sub-rack that attaches forward of this. Is it worth it? In Moab, totally.
