Welcome to the Overlanding world. Although it sounds as if you've already been a part of it..Bahrain? What branch? Thank you for your service..{making assumptions..haha}
I'm still undecided on what I'm doing, where I'm heading.. I put the metal frame back on the bed the other day.. I'm working on some turn buckle clamps instead of ratchet straps.. Then the canvas and outer frames will go on..After that I'll work on the lights mounted to the roof frame. Soo, I'll...
hahaha Sorry.. I'd drive my Tundra.. May bring the wife and dogs..Might have to camp out the night before and or the night afterwards..I emailed them for a bit more info.. Have you done this before?
Check out the pics I linked above..looks like there are "L" brackets that mount to your roof rack and then the awning is mounted to aluminum rails..Doesn't seem too hard or confusing..
we have 2.. either an 8x8 and 10x10 or 10x10 and 12x12..lol Don't recall.. I usually set them up myself depending on obstacles.I pull the framework out in form and move it to the location I want it. THEN I install the canvas and raise it to the desired height..Raising it alone can be a struggle...
Call me cheap and a newby.. but heres mine..$150 with wiring and connectors.. It worked out great last summer for the 2 3 day weekend trips we took.. Full charge before leaving home. It powered up my wifes percolator pot for her morning coffee and kept the cell phones charged when we weren't...
Pretty good. Getting itchy to get back out for some adventure.. Just realized the pic above was from the weekend I mentioned.. How have you been. I see you're getting out and about..See the pics at Overland NYS..Yours isn't a Raptor brand batwing is it?
I was originally going get s straight awning until I was introduced to bat wings at last MAOF. Ever since then I've been shopping and like you, I really the price point of the Raptor.
You are a convincing salesman. Not sure if you recall but my wife and I have the brown Tundra you set up near last fall near Old Forge. The Raptor set up is nice because the wall panels are individual and there are set up options that way. I love yours but don't have that up front Ching. I plan...
On my DECKED drawer platform I also use that type of interlocking mat seeing how I don't need them under my weight bench much anymore..lol. On top of those I use the Alps Mountaineering 2 1/2" self inflating mats. They have velcro down the sides so its easy to make a truck bed sized bed...
I have a 2016 Tundra that is my overland rig and DD.. I also have a '90 Jeep Wrangler that will be eased into this exciting new past time/ way of life and then there is the '66 IH Scout that will be more purpose built as a full time rig..To create a tool set for each rig will be VERY costly. I...
And what are your thoughts for somebody seriously considering one? How is the set up take down after many uses? How sturdy has it been on windy rainy days? Is the thinner material an issue? are the plastic joint pieces holding up well? Can you show a vid of the set up and take down? I've only...
