I'm assuming you mean an additional 1.5" of lift to the stock system...Can you explain how you accomplished this? I'm planning to get the Slee override switch too. Looking forward to your write-up.

Thanks guys, for some other great ideas! I think I'm going to try the sleeve-style...for now. I'll report back on whether or not there is a rattle problem.

Thanks, Jorge...That's actually not a bad idea! I did a search and found this on another forum: I might give it...or at least something similar, a try. All I am looking for is the ability to 'lock' it up in cold weather and not have to rely on the pistons to keep it there.

It is not a matter of being cheap. I am planning to replace the struts, for the umpteenth time. And yes, I too can come up with any number of impromptu wedge ideas - like ski poles, Mr. LongArms, 2x4, etc... Regardless, I really am still interested in finding out about getting this type of...

This weekend while skiing I saw the coolest thing...a telescoping or collapsing rear camper window support on a Tacoma. The support extended from the corner of the window about 6' to the ground. As anyone living in cold weather knows, when it gets frigid the hydraulic supports on your window...

Great build...some great ideas I need to incorporate into my '00. Thanks for posting!

Okay, I spoke with Randy McCauley...the website dimension listed of 7' is inaccurate the actual closed length is 98" long. So, the only shorter version I can find is the Eezi-Awn Bat...but at $1300 bucks a pop, they are not exactly affordable.

Will do, thanks.

Yeah, after reviewing the the thread you posted it has a lot more pics of the awning and it does appear to be a Rhino Foxwing...but, it just doesn't look to be 98" long. Don't know, maybe that Jeep is longer than it looks. I measured out 98" on my 4Runner and from the back corner it was well...

Thanks Kermit, I have sent him a PM. I will report back with any input he provides.

Does anyone know what type of awning this is? It looks similar to the Rhino Foxwing...but a bit shorter in stature, which would be great for me.

Thanks Corey, will do... Kermit, I don't mind fab-work here and there...but I am not inclined toward purchasing the proper equipment and learning to sew adequately enough to do my own. I don't mind spending a few bucks to get what I want, but $1300 seems pretty excessive for an awning. I am...

Howdy All, I'm new to the forum and I have a question for the masses. I am in the process of looking for a 270 degree awning for my rig('00 4Runner)...I really like the Rhino Foxwing, but at 98" the end will stick out pretty damn far in front of my roof. The Eezi Batwing is only 84" which is a...
