Looking for Advice

Hi Everyone!!
New member here needing some advice.
Believe it or not I used to be a Jeep guy but one day I discovered Toyota 4Runners!!
I drive a 2000 4Runner....probably one of the best vehicles I have ever driven.
This summer I am going somewhere hot and dry to camp and hike for a while. I'm looking for a removable awning for my 4Runner.
Any suggestions? Ideas?
Any and all tips or advice would be VERY greatly appreciated!!

Welcome

 

I have the rough country awning and it is amazing

 

Welcome from Wisconsin!

 

I DIY a simple one that lives in my garage most of the year. It travels in cabin (no wind noise) and uses a cool reflective 6x9 tarp (forestry supply for transporting plantings). Twist adjustable aluminum painters poles hold it up and adjust for best angle to max shade or deflect hot wind or wet. It easily sets up either side.
I can manage its size when collapsing or setting up.

 

I can respect that. I’m the post above with the Rough Country awning. The wife and I did exactly what you did for two years. It worked. We switched because she is a geologist and the wind in Utah would just pull it down. But yeah, if you need something for a quick camping trip. What you did absolutely will work. Nice job.

 

I have the arb awning. It's quick and easy, but it gets pretty hot underneath on a sunny day.

 

I found the tarp shinny metallic coating one side & white other side very reflective. Cool like a shade tree!
