Looking into a 180 awning on my 4Runner’s stock roof rack. I have Artec flat cross-bars, so mounting should be a breeze. The 23Zero 180R looks like a great option. I do wonder if the bar that unfolds straight out the back and the rear tension strap will interfere with the rear lift gate operation. Anyone have any experience? I can’t find any photos on this (just the 270 from LifeStyle Overland, but don’t know if that has the same bar layout).
