Awning to Tough Touring Roof Top Tent Rack Brackets
Bolt these brackets straight onto your existing Tough touring Platform rack to make a strong / stiff and easy to install mount for any brand of Pole Less Wing awnings.
The Bracket kits come in an UP mount configuration - The bracket sits 180mm above the rack. (typically right beside your tent - tents average heights are between 200 and 300mm so there is no overall height increase.)
These brackets bolt straight onto the Tough Touring Platform Rack using the Slotted East west crossbars delivering immense anti twist strength.
The Brackets are mirrored, thus the same kit fits either Passenger or Drivers side - the kit come complete with Forch High Tensile 20mm Dome nut mounting hardware, 8 x Unistrut Nuts a Hook Bracket and Logo Plates. (5 Piece Laser cut kit).
LAND CRUISER 200 and 300 Series Owners, Y62 OWNERS TO NOTE
AWNINGS THAT FOUL
NOTE THAT LC 200 ,300 and Y62 Owners Most AWNINGs WILL FOUL ON REAR DOORS WIND FAIRING WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED UP . Thus it is ideal to purchase an awning with the last arm jointed at the TOP of the hinge giving the last arm more height.
The Ostrich wing awning is we;; known to us and has the last arm at the top of the hinge , Providing excellent clearance of the back door wind fairing. The Bush Co XT 270 and Max are also Known to us to be 'Bottom hinge' awnings - if you want to fit them they are 130mm lower at the rear already - fouling on wind fairing is certain with almost any roof rack ... Check your awning brand carefully for detail on 'Last arm hinge point' as most cannot be opened at the same time the back door is open on these vehicles unless the roof rack is really really high.
