    Mounted my ARB 2000 awning today, just in time for tomorrow day trip. Ordered from Amazon and sold by Addiction 4WD.
    The outer box was OK but the actual cardboard tube inside was pretty beaten up, looks like someone jumped on it. Both end caps were busted opened and it turned out that some tent stakes and T bolts were missing, only had one stake and 2 bolts left inside! I was pissed! Also mad at myself for not doing my homework, turned out the brackets are sold separately...
    Went to Mclendon hardware and found some T shape bracket plates, I would have doubled up each sides but they only had 2 left :)
    Also got some 6mm bolts and cut off the top with my dremel to make them into "T-bolts" so that they can fit inside the ARB grooves.
    Utilized the all 4 OEM knobs and threaded backing plates from the cross bars. Got bushings to space them out.
    I was pretty lucky to have found those bracket plates for they were just the right size too, only had to drill some holes and voila... Pretty clean set up!

    Upon closer inspection there are some damages to the awning. There's a worn spot on top, and the rails are dented slightly. Beware of buying stuff from Addiction4WD!

    It's not so bad on the 4Runner though. The glare from the skewp on my Tacoma was horrible. I ended up trading it for a non-skewp hood.

    I don't. It was only referred to at the Tacomaworld forum, not sure about the details.

    A&P,
    I thought of trying to wrap the silver pieces on the front and rear bumper, after reading your post, I am positively going to take it to a friend of mine who does it all the time. The patience thing is probably going to come into play for me also!

    Blacked out badges, window deflectors, smoked 3rd brake light. I have a Borla muffler on order as well as some color matched engine cover stickers. I'll be painting the stock wheels soon as well. Falken tires in the fall as well.
    I thought about wrapping mine too but I never used wrap and it seemed like it could be a pain in the butt to do. I used spray on bed liner because I do use my roof rack at times and figure the liner would be tougher than paint. Very happy with the results.

    That freakin sucks and thank you for sharing your install and experience with “Amazon” with us. Will definitely have to watch out for that company! Looks nice on how you mounted it on stock roof rails. What size awning did ya go with?

    Not sure why it’s the companies fault? Seems like it got fucked during shipping.

    * Installed OEM LED fog lights.

    * Installed my Niserack roof rack.

    * Installed ARB rear diff breather.

    I've been working on rigs 20+ years. Why am I still surprised that every project takes longer than anticipated?

    The awning is inside a bug cardboard tube, and that was inside the UPS box. The UPS box looks great but the tube looks trampled on and both end have come undone. Hence the missing hardware.
    The awning might have been damaged in the way to Addiction 4WD but they didn't care to check the state of the tube and contents before shipping it out.

    If the box was intact and undamaged with the contents damaged or missing, it's definitely the company's fault. It's definitely something you shouldn't have to tolerate. Send it back!

    obviously you didn’t care enough to reach out to them before mounting it to your runner and bashing them on a forum.

    Very clean install. What sub(s) are you running? In our X1 I have a single JL 12w6v2 paired with a JL Slash 600/1v3. I haven't decided if ill add anything to the Runner just yet. If I do, it might be be the 13TW5v2-2 so that it can nicely tuck without sacrificing cargo space.
