Toyota Troopy OSTRICH Pole Less Awning Brackets 70 series
Toyota Troop Carrier Pole Less Awning Gutter Mount Kit. This Kitis designed specifically to allows you to Fit an Ostrich 270 Pole Less wing awning to a Troop carrier 70 series without need of any Roof rack.
The Ostrich 270 Specific Bracket system listed here has minor slot mounting differences to our 'Universal' Troopy bracket, due to the Ostrich wing having a vertical bolt pattern (and a spacer block) already fitted on its back plate - This allows the awning to be fitted without spacing it out from the vehicle as far.
Recently re-designed - We have re-engineered the kit to come in even stronger and easier to install - Simply Install the Tough Touring Brackets to your Troopies Gutter, Bolt them UP, then you then install the awning ...
The Troopie "Ostrich Wing Pole Less Awning to Vehicle" Kit ultilises a twin Bolting clamp design for ultimate strength and is constructed entirely out of Australian Mild steel here in Australia. The Rear bracket triangulates around the rear of the truck - Ultimate anti twist strength - for a super ridgid 270 degree rear awning set up.
Our Feedback from troopie owners so far (with over 50 Installs so far) has been excellent on installed units with owners having zero failures thus far and enjoying the obvious benefits of running totally Pole less 270 awning speed and coverage. ... The Hook Brackets inclusion has further increased the Strength and speed of the kit when used in combination with Ostrich wing awnings.
We have a 'bundle' deal if you need an ostrich wing to go with the brackets, some $$$ can be saved going with the bundle as we include the Awning with no freight charge... The bundle deal is listed below as an option. (saves around $150 on buying them seperately)...

We Reccommend the 'Ostrich Wing' as the preferred Awning to use in combination with this bracket kit, It is immensely strong, has good spare parts supply channells and also offers excellent wall kits. More on these here - https://www.toughtouring.com.au/ostrich-270-wing-awning
Installation video on You tube here - (Its filmed in Real Time - Installation was under 10 minutes)
We include a Small Tube of Sikka Flex 221 to add a DOT of Glue to the front brackets Rubber foot... It helps it stay vertical when the awning is not on, and prevents any vibration scratching troopies paint. It the case of you removing the brackets down the track - the Glue itself rubs off the paint without damage using a 'caramel wheel' .
This Kit includes our famous 'Hook Bracket' allowing Ostrich pole less wing awnings in particular to be latched into the bracket when erected - The Hook bracket increases the strength of the awning and the brackets while also reducing flex and rist of wind damage.
