The build looks great... Is that the ALu-Cab Shadow Awn?

If so, how is the clearance with the rear spoiler when the lift gate is up? I'm running it on my 80, but I don' think its going to work on the 200.


Thanks in advance,

The instructions are not very detailed. It looks like one of the bolts goes through the slat? If so, does it go through the center of the slat where the bolt is, or is it go to the left or the right of the bolt? A couple detailed pictures would be great!

Any chance I can get the close up photo of the front mount please?
 
Sorry I have been gone for a while..

Yes, it is the Alu-cab shadow awn. The rear spoiler definitely sits on one of the awning arms, thus wont allow you to fully open the lift gate. The main reason why I got rid of it is because of my height. I had a hard time deploying/storing the awning on the 200 (requires climbing up the tires, sliders) which was not an issue on my tacoma.

Sorry, I sold the awning already. My go-to shop basically drilled through the Frontrunner rack and had to rearrange some slats for it to be mounted sturdy. I apologize for not being able to help you out
 
thanks! go for it, you wont regret the decision! I wish there was a way to own both and convert the taco into a camper

Oh you can definitely do just that! This was my setup for a while but I have since sold the Tacoma. I believe the new owner is actually selling it right now to buy a SMB too.

Hey quick question on install. For the LED fogs that came with the bumper(the rectangle LED near the parking sensor) did you connect it with the Low beam, Factory fog light switch, or DRL? I'm getting mine installed now and my mechanic is asking how do I want them installed. Im thinking with FOG but Im worried that with the all three turned on for low beams, factory fog, and the additional LED that it would be too bright on the road. Please let me know. :)

DRLs. it is both a DRL and side blinker
 
How did you mount the BD Squadrons to the ARB Summit? Looks like a clear shield was utilized, almost like the factory ARB fog exterior shell with the BD mounted inside the existing? I'm looking for an ideal mounting solution.

my shop used the existing bajadesign brackets and modified it a bit to sit flush on the bumper. the clear shield comes with the ARB bumper for the stock fog lights
 
This is one of the nicest setups IMO, a perfect wheel and tire size combo for the 200!. Can you tell me how much lift you ended up with in order to get those in there? I'm considering the Bilstein 6112, wondering which perch or if I'll need a UCA with the 295/60/20's
