Arb-3110A awning on a 3rd gen Taco

[Catfish37]

After fishing the banks of the Red River this weekend I was thinking it sure would be nice to have a awning. I built a bed rack for my Kayaks and was thinking it would work really well with it. One of my main concerns is hanging it on tree limbs and getting it ripped off. Does anyone have this awning? Is it worth the $170? I know arb builds quality stuff but I was surprised at the relatively low price.

Here is a pic of the rack off of the truck.

i just picked that same one up on amazon for a little cheaper and shipped 2day free great setup for the price if all you need is a 4' setup

Yes, definitely worth it. Here it's mounted on my Taco:

And here it's mounted on my XJ:

easy to deploy for a single person and stable. I have the windbreak as well which came in handy before as the sun started to go down.

Thanks mmrocek. I think I'm going to give it go.

4ft-wide is pretty useless IMO.

What size would you recommend? I don't think I would want much bigger

4ft-wide is pretty useless IMO.

With the windbreak, it provides decent coverage for a couple people. At least from sun. Here in Arizona it doesn't rain much so I can't speak to that. I am sure that some good, sideways rain would render it useless.

Go for at least the 6'. Buy it from autoanything and use their 20% off coupon.

We have a 6ft ARB on the passenger side of our 3rd Gen Taco on a bed rack and sometimes a 4ft ARB on the rear, depending on our location.
