Jku awning options

[stoney126]

Hey all, I'm running a garvin roof rack on my jku. I'm looking at a few different awning styles from front runner, arb and tuffstuff. However I can't seem to find how they attach. I haven't decided between a side or rear mounted or a foxwing awning.

Some attachment shots and small review if you are so inclined would be appreciated


Hugs and kisses,
Stoney

I can tell you the Tepui is very easy to install and would mount up easily to your Garvin. Would be a great addition to your RTC

Not sure about that rack, but I love my Eezi Awn Bat 270............

I don't know if this helps but I'm running an ARB off the back with a FrontRunner rack. The awning and the rack have slots so it was easy to use a couple L brackets. I don't know how the Garvin tubes are shaped.

All awnings out there (with the exception of the Alu-Cab Shadow Awn) mount the same way. The awnings have an aluminum backing plate with a c-channel that allows a captured bolt to slide and and mount to a bracket. Most smaller awnings come with a simple L bracket as in the picture posted above.

Feel like for $59 you can't really go wrong there. You'll spend at least 3 hours mocking that thing up and getting the hardware. We do a lot of Rhino-Rack stuff at the shop and the quality is very good.

That's a sweet awning!!

I like that awning a lot! I hope they make some type of bracket or probably will have to make one to fit the Gobie Stealth Roof Rack.

Check out Bomber Products. They specialize in awning mounts that are tough to find. I'm running a Gobi stealth rack and I was having a terrible time finding something that would let me mount a rear awning. Pretty much anything you need as far as mounts.

Great rig and great shots!! Love the idea of a "wing" awning and wonder if the tailgate bumps/hits it? Wonder if the rear canopy window of my truck canopy would hit/bump it ....thoughts? Thanks!!

@stoney126 I am using these mounts for my ARB awning attached to an ARB rack. I love the quality fit and finish.

No issues with my Jeep tailgate or glass raised. I also have the wall enclosures to make it a room.

That's a pretty sweet set up also. [emoji106][emoji106]

How much space do those walls take up?

 

[Scott K]

Not very much....wall bag and pole bag

That's a nice set up! I'd love to have that on my rig. [emoji106]

Here is what was done for my Xterra. With a bit of help and guidance from a friend this was done in no time and I could not be happier with it! I know it isn't the same roof rack but may give you some inspiration for something universal.
