Toyota 4Runner DIY Awning using 10X10 Aqua Quest Defender Tarp with Green Elephant Telescoping Poles

[@ladyfish22]

Lobe watching your process. My car is low and my tarp only 10 X 6,5 bit I think it'll work 🙂

I was thinking those poles would double nicely as a staff/selfie stick but they are too expensive for me. I dont think I spent that much for my complete set up in either rig. One thing I like about the larger tarps is you can cover half the vehicle and still have protection out the back... as a floridian you know carrying your own shade can be a real day saver. I like the 3 pole set up. one thing to watch for when setting up under the tailgate is if it rains, water will come down between the hatch and roof, moving the tarp back on the roof will help and so will blocks to raise the rear end of the vehicle, I just carry 1' pieces of 2x10 and some 1x4 pieces to help level out the rig for camping

All good points and noted 😎

You can get a better deal for $100 with the slumberjack roadhouse tarp. Great quality with poles, stakes and cordage included FYI stakes are not sharped, just a blunted tip.

@@SarasotaTim Pretty much the same age and I have CRS too. I have 9 months before I retire and will be doing some of the same stuff you’re already doing. So lots of good info in the vids. Have to disagree about the electric bike. I still use mine a lot though I think St. Pete is a bit more biker friendly. Keep the info flowing. Really good videos.

@@mikebarry7623 you know Mike not a day goes by I don’t think about that bike but I’m so thankful I got $2000 back of my $2400 after racking my brain I figured out CRS is can’t remember syndrome good one! You know there are two things you lose when you get older one is your memory and the other one I can’t remember LOL thanks for watching my videos and I know you’re going to enjoy your retirement.
