So got the manta 270 installed a few days ago, need to post up pics, i must say its larger than i expected it to be. I can probably live under there. One thing that I found out was I thought i was missing a bracket, ended up the bracket extensions were aipped up in the corner of the awning, never thought to open it, almost bout a replacement set from Eeziawn. DOH....

Im in too much of a time crunch for anything else except to get the fuse block in and run new wires to the CB and figure out the fridge, no time to mount the slide, dont want to drill into bed, only 3 weekends left until the trip west to moab and expo west. Realized i have to pack for a month of living out of the truck.

Awesome - can't wait to see your Manta setup. Someone in the 100 series section was nice enough to sort out a small shipment of the Alu-Cab shadow awnings, I have one of those waiting for me in my buddy's shop in Philly. If not for that I would've gone with the Manta.

Save a few minutes before your trip to install the rear door panel and table, I got yours cut yesterday and will have it sprayed and ready to ship by the end of the week hopefully!

Yea, I bought the manta a while ago.... Then found out through expo portal okoffroad beacme an alucab dealer... Was bummed. Started my savings account for the pop top conversion they are going to offer.... It has about 60 bucks in it lol.

Looking forward to what you are sendin!

Tons of updates this weekend.

Rear seat covers on, completes the set.

Now to get some rear storage in

New vinyl front in, @beno thanks! it fits perfectly. really starting to come together.

proper cutouts for everything... pardon the finger

Manta awning mounted a few weeks ago, but pictures as promised. One man operation, 2 min to open, about 5 to pack up

@beno has a new bezel for me on the way as well as a grey rear vinyl replacement. Cant wait to see it all come together.

 

[AndrewHadji]

Pictures fixed.... sorry about that.

Very very nice - probably the configuration that I will go for, if Alu Cab persists with their refusal to streamline their filp top roof.I have an Impi and Ostrichwing already

To be fair, it was the impi that i really wanted but it was unobtainium last year. I dont know if ti was a limited run or they discontinued it, but i really liked it.

Looking really good - wow! I like the awning very much!

I was at the factory a week ago and they were still producing them like anything.l cannot see them ever discontinue the Impi as it is just too popular, even here ..

@beno sourced a new rear mat for me! LIKE A GLOVE

Looks black due to flash, but its the same grey as the front.

Wow the console took them a long time, must have had a bit of a backlog. They are quite popular here.
What did you end up doing with the transport? Their a b!*ch of a size.

Curious if you know of anything off-hand about something similar for a 77 with a sunroof? Or where I might start looking for something similar?
