awning advice needed
I managed to get my hands on a foxwing awning but it seems to be for a 5 door 110. I have a 110 double cab so it goes past the roofline. Any ideas on how to make it work?

It won't. Whistle You've bought a pup. Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Never mind, for the price of postage and a few beers, I'll take it off your hands. Mr. Green Saves you cluttering up the garage. Whistle

You could get a full length roof rack. Or you could fabricate some bracket off the rear of your tub, to fasten the foxwing on to....Not ideal, but saves wasting a purchase.

The foxwing is about 2.4m long and fits well on a 110.

On a 90 the foxwing extends about 400 pass the front of the windscreen.

Whereas a Foxwing can be mounted using two brackets IMO 3 or 4 is better.

On a 110 DC if you mount the foxwing as per standard 110 then you will have about 1.2 m at the back unsupported.

Possible solutions would range from fitting a proper roof rack for a DC and mounting the foxwing on that.

A canopy such as Ifor Williams/Camel bac/Trojan etc and making two brackets to suit.

A roll cage

Or making two uprights fitted to rear tub.

Hmmmm!

I think postage from Brunei might be a little bit more then the price of a 1st class stamp!
