Best wishes Michael & Esme 🐶 - Jak na to + styl
Have the same rack as you do on my 2016 4runner trail. I purchased the four walls with it, three of them have the screened doors, and you'll be surprised at how much covered you have. I totally love it when I have it set up, and yes, clear Christmas lights along the edge of it. I'm actually heading out soon for a four day solo trip, love my 4runner ( sorry, Jeep 😊😊 ). Just remember, be safe out there.
Very cool!! I'm kinda temped with the walls too!! Its like a tent when its all setup 😄 - Hope you don't get stuck in the 4Runner and enjoy the trip! 😛
Couple of tips, find your comfortable height and pack legs up at that height.
When solo setting up, grab all four legs and swing out together and lower each leg as awning unfurls, always double peg legs down always.
The walls add so much realestate underneath.
Top video.
Great tips! Setting the legs really help on the next setup for sure 👍
Hi Michael, good job mate, Taylor fitted. Nice to see you you look healthy and of course love seeing little sweetheart Esme.
Best wishes and Happy times ahead using your new awning, now I feel like I have to swap my single side for a wrap around.

Hey David! Thanks for watching! You should post some videos on your setup! I'm a subscriber and have been waiting for ever 😄
Hi Michael I've had a difficult few years, my Dad passed away on the 1st Jan just gone, he was suffering from Cancer for a few year so he needed a lot of care from the family and my own health hasnt been great, I am starting to feel more like myself headwise so I do have plans for my channel. I've started to get my stored kit out and check the itinerary. Thank you so much for you subscription and patience.
🙏🏻🏕🐶
@@littlebull8881 Hi David - I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom about 14 months ago and it was a hard pill to swallow, but things got easier over time. I'll be ready to comment and thumbs up when you get the first video completed 👍 No pressure - Have a great day! 🇨🇦
So sorry to hear about your Mum Michael, the loss never leaves but i suppose the mental pain will becomes easier.
Thanks for the readiness of pre made uploads and thumbs up yeehaw.
You take care and give Ez and Si a pat from me.
I did find that camping with a jeep when raining was not so awesome. But this really solves this issue. Very nice add on. Thanks and take care
Thanks for watching Stéphane! It does provide a good upgrade for inclement weather 👍
In my book, more shade/rain protection area is a win/win on all fronts.
Indeed! I hate rain.....and especially mud 😄
Great looking awning , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thanks 👍
Looks awesome! Lots of shade!
Thank you! Cheers!
Lots more protected covering means more convenience and more comfort. Really smart purchase. 👏 I'm sure the "kids" will enjoy it like mom and dad will!!
Thanks Bill! It hasn't rained much since I put it on so, I have yet to fully test it 😄 But I'm sure it will hold up just fine! 👍
We used that awning for a couple years. It’s a great system. I really like the stake holes on the bottom of the poles that let you use 2 stakes in a crossed configuration. It holds them down really well. We never broke any hinges but I made sure to drop the poles down as I was extending it around to make sure they were supported. It’s nice to cook on the tailgate table without getting wet.
Enjoy your trip.
Thanks Mike - I leaned the same trick to drop a leg on the way around - Its not that much extra effort. So far so good with the awning 👍
superb system. well done. I would get one.
Thanks my friend! 👍
That’s a great set up. They are worth the effort and cost. We set up a portable awning when camping last summer. Gave us great shelter from the endless sun,heat and ridiculous hail storm lol.
Very true - I dry place when camping or in the sun is defiantly worth the investment 👍
I have really enjoyed watching you build out the Jeep and doing upgrades! This is an awesome upgrade. I dream of having one, one day. I’m excited for you and your future campouts with all your new stuff. Great job Michael. Cheers my friend.
Thanks so much Jacqueline! I think the FJ looks cooler 👍
Thanks Michael. I've always liked the awnings, especially the 270 degree. I saw Esme keeping an eye on you earlier in the video. Best regards
She's always checking my work 😆
Looks good, I think it offers a bit more coverage and practicality for you.
Yes it does! Thanks Dean! 👍
Esme in the background: "Dad, I thought we were going to eat batwings" The wing is big enough to sell fruits and vegetables under. 🤪 The wing is cool, definitely going to be great to use. ✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧✌️
Hahahaha - We know what happens when we eats the bats 🤣😷
1:50 your shop floor foreman doesn’t look impressed. Pick up the pace there greenhorn! 😂
Hahaha - Yup she keeps me busy 😄
Nice 😊👍
Thanks! 😊
That's the coolest thing I've ever seen! Is it Esme approved?
Thanks so much Linda! 😊
I like the upgrade, Michael. From the description in the Rhino Rack link, it seems this is designed for shade, but not rain. Can you lower the poles to pitch the awning so that rain will run off?
Hi Ted - I think they list it under shade and I can attest to it working for rain too 😄 As mentioned, just drop a corner and the rain just slides off 👍
I like the upgrade, however since you already had the other one already mounted, I would have just kept the old one…
Ben.....Change is not always bad 😄
How did you mount the iKamper to the Pioneer Platform? Were you able to use the 3.0 clamps, and did they fit in-between the slats? Thanks!
Yup - they just bolted up right between the slats- You can slide the clamps to match the rails and they provide a long Allen wrench to tighten them - Fits perfectly 👍
What kind of bolts did you use? I’ve been searching around.
