I just did this on my Wrangler. I should have taken pics, but the gist is that there are two "L" shaped brackets from Alu-cab that wrap around front and rear corners of the tent. You need to drill through the tent (yes!), and bolt the brackets to the tent (you'll need to seal the bolt holes). After that, you'll need to install a small bracket that the awning tightening strap can slide onto. Mine was done using rivets (again, with sealant). It's a very solid lock-up, and helps simplify the roof rack / tent / awning relationship.

Anybody have pics on using the Alu-cab generic mount kit to mount the shadow to a K9 rack?? I want a gen 3 tent from them, but don't have the $$ yet.

Not off hand, but I do have some cad drawings of the install process if you want to shoot me an email (rino@ok4wd.com)

I have not had any customers mount a Shadow Awn to the K9, but out flat rack mounts could possibly work.

That's funny. When I called your shop this morning someone told me it couldn't be done because the K9 rack wasn't strong enough.

What's this out flat rack mounts? The universal mounting kit? Or something else?

Hi guys,
Does anyone have the dimensions of the expedition 3 mattress? I would like to order a anti-condensation mat. I see that CVT no longer sells their cut to fit mats. Anyone know where I can a custom one piece or find a cut to fit?
Thanks!

I am also having an issue with condensation forming on the tent fabric with the cover closed. I believe the set is working and is water tight. However condensation is forming in the small air gap between the lid in the base. Concerned about mildew long term
Any idea if there will be a Tundra size option for this? And potential pricing?
A little teaser for you Tacoma guys

Full size versions are in the pipeline, but are going to be late this year.
