ARB Awning On Prinsu Tacoma2017

[@YYY-nj9wq]

Thank you for your "Lock in place" idea!!!!

[@dadaking]

Nice problem solving

[@CSC1steel]

Thank you!

[@Nick-lk2rv]

Have the rack and searching for the right awning... This video helped a lot! Thank you 👍

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

Glad that it helped ! You can also check out this video about same awning: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnfac2RjaZKojdE

[@ivanchavez3538]

Thanks for the video. I have the awning and waiting for the prinsu rack for my 4runner. Your video answered all of my question. Thank you!

[@trevorfroese4534]

That idea with the nut eyes and lock is genius!

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

Thanks

[@markm7677]

Great idea for security, awesome video!

[@benbricker469]

What bolts did you use for the awning? Iv purchased a million and I never find the right size to slide into place

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

1/4 inch

[@gevorgnazaryan8720]

I am wondering if you could have drilled a hole or two straight onto the prinsu rails and attached the awning to the rails to keep the height low.

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

There is already a cut in rails of rack, it can be bolted to rack as well but then it touch the head . I wanted to have it few inches higher. But it is possible to have it in rack rails too.

[@DirtRoad_Chronicles]

What size carriage bolts did you use for the prinsu rack to attach the brackets?

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

1/4 inch

[@mmunoz5875]

Great video and I like the idea on the antitheft hooks. What size did you get on the bolts and those hooks and where at if you don't mind me asking. Thanks!

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

1/4 inch bolts from Home Depot and eye nuts from Lordco auto parts.

[@mmunoz5875]

@@BackCountryQuestCanada thanks!

[@TranquilFaith4me]

Very good info, thank you

[@bombdawg5916]

If you turn your cross members over there are openings at the end of the slots that you can drop your anchor points/bolts in without removing the ends of the crossmember. Love the idea of the taller anchor points on the awning mounts!

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

I think that option is available in new cross bars. But I will double check for sure. Thanks for reminder.

[@douillette009]

What size bolts and thread was it? So I can get the correct eye bolt. I believe the ones that come with the awning are M6 bolts.

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

1/4 inch

[@randall998]

Nice job on the lock!.. what size are those bolts and ring you used for the lock?

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

Thanks! I used 1/4 size bolts and nuts

[@mikebrewz]

That padlock idea is awesome thanks for sharing!

[@9thGenerationCajun]

You my friend just saved the day!

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

I am glad that video is helpful

[@adhruv4291]

Is this awning 1.5metersx2m or 2mx2m ?

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

This is 6 ft by 8 feet .

[@FusionCore24]

I think you have the crossbars on the Prinsu cab rack upside down. I noticed you had to unbolt the crossbars to slide the bolts into the rails. I'm not sure if you would still be able to mount the bracket with the crossbars mounted the other way though. If you have the crossbars mounted the other way then you can add or remove bolts as needed without having to unbolt the crossbars from the side rail, you will notice 2 staggered spots that are wider near the side rail.

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

I think I have older corss bars but I will double check and make sure if they are in right direction. But I am sure news ones are better ones where we do not have to open it every time.

[@PinoyMCLA]

Whats the size of the awning?

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

6 X 8 feet

[@grindiousmaximus]

My prinsu will be here in a couple days. An awning will eventually be added also. Good info, thanx

[@misterlinh]

lock trick.good ideaa!

[@toxophilite1953]

The lock 🔐 was a great idea! First time I have heard of doing this. 👍

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

Thanks you I am glad that it helps

[@MrDennisLB]

Good job. I like the pad lock idea.

[@davee6727]

I was wondering if the ARB brackets worked on the Prinsu! Thanks for the video!! Cheers!

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

I bought the brackets from amazon no brackets come with awning

[@art_of_jing]

Great way to secure the awning. Did you purchase the eye nuts on Amazon? Can you please provide me the sizes? Thank you.

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

I bought galvanized eye nuts from lordco and steel eye nuts from a marine product shop. Those are 1/4 inch .

[@curbdog808]

That awning wouldn’t touch your head if you put that 3” lift and tires on that truck😉

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

Good idea but it works for me I am 5 feet 9.

[@trevorfroese4534]

I am finally going to get a 6' awning, my current tarp set up is not so good. How is your awning hold up.

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

It is very good. $65 spent on brackets are worth it .

[@trevorfroese4534]

@@BackCountryQuestCanada with how much rain we get out here it's worth it. Thank you once again my friend. 😀

[@Crespofutbol]

Did you buy all the bolts for The install?

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

Bolts for awning came with it but for the brackets I bought the bolts.

[@jucach]

Can you provide more info on the lifting eye nut? Where you found them? Etc..

[@eric271ful]

Thank you 😊

[@ihslaxer]

Looks good bud.

[@armandreyc.sadiwa2685]

Thanks for the video! I will definitely try this, Just wondering, what size are the bolts and nuts? Thanks!

[@OffThePath9]

great info and video brother. Thank you as I am getting ready to install one myself and never have so those brackets may be a requirement for me as well...Cheers!

[@coprung74]

Good job 👍 I plan to do the same setup like yours. Thanks for the video!

[@zama89]

Hi, thanks for the information. Which bracket did you order? I see two on Amazon. The ARB 813402 and the ARB OS850. Thanks in advance.

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

Sorry for the delayed reply . both look identical but I bought the one which is $11.99

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

I checked my amazon it is ARB 813402

[@aidanbutler5940]

Thank you for the video. I was trying to think about how I would attach my awning!

[@Yotasol18]

Awesome thanks for sharing 👍🏼

[@koshnaranek8836]

What happened to your KO2's ?

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

I am heading to Dempster Highway this summer so I am using stock tires for the time being. I am surprised that you noticed.

[@koshnaranek8836]

@@BackCountryQuestCanada , hahahaha, I noticed because I have the same truck as you, and I found your channel when I was looking for reviews on KO's. I also live in Surrey and do some of the same routes as you. Maybe we can do a local trip together sometime :-)

[@NameL3ss71]

Awesome video! I was looking for this exact solution for my rack. Love the eye bolt hardware!

[@ventura80503]

Would you happened to have the link for the bolts? Thanks!

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

I used 1/4 inch and 1.5 inch long

[@dhaliwal2998]

Amazing 😉

[@theblackrav1427]

While the lock is a good idea its gonna be extremely annoying bouncing around and hearing that metal on metal clunking on your roof

[@BackCountryQuestCanada]

I had it on since I made this video and travelled all the way to Arctic Ocean. It does not make any noise as it does not have any room to move, if it does it can be easily tied down but I never had to do so.

[@theblackrav1427]

@@BackCountryQuestCanada that's good! I guess you can say its "locked" in place!

[@kaydengilmore4840]

can we get a link for the awning??:] Great video!!:]
