Yes the original Darche awning. . You should not have an issue mounting it on your 4Runner. While the awning cover is small, I give kudos for them making the side wall bags oversized to make stowing the walls an easy task.
Weather called for occasional showers.
Been pouring rain now for a couple of hours.
We are able to deploy the 270゚ awning and walls before the heavy rain.
The campfire in a can really warmed up the area.
Each panel has a place on the awning.
The heat issue is related to the solar controller.
Summer temps plus engine temps overheat the controller.
I solved that by mounting the waterproof controller on the bumper.
Be sure to mount with the heat sink out so it can dispel heat.
I've been using a pressure cooker for over 15 years while camping.
I also use one at home all the time.
I make Chili, Coq Au Vin , Beef Bourguignon, soups.
Some pictures from our trip. In Kalispell, MT now.
Watching D/L content while monitoring the bear camera. A Grizzly ate a woman close by where I was cooking.
I have a Mission Overland trailer now for about two years. I just completed the Utah Backcountry Discovery route about 700 miles off pavement.
I've driven the Camino Del Diablo,Magruder Corridor Trail, Medrano Primitive Trail,Smokey Mountain road.
Hours of washboard , some rock crawling, hours...
I have an Adventure Medicine professional guide kit. I added some extra CATs and trauma dressings in a separate bag. According to Adventure Medicine ,the kits are good for three years.
When mine hits three years, I'll keep what I can and throw away the rest and buy a new kit.
I've had it for over 20 years. Great program 100 mile tows, road service, trip interruption insurance that pays for hotel rooms. A must have for anyone who travels.
I have my local fabricator do any mods I need. I don't have rear jacks and have never seen the need for them. I added a ArkPak XO jack in addition to the stock jack. It is only there for emergencies.
