Customers with 79 that are wanting to run pole less wing awnings

BEST POLE LESS AWNINGS and FITTING THEM TO 79:
We'd reccommend the Ostrich wing awning for the ultimate touring awning for 79 Series for touring the windier Southern States of Australia - It has the right mix of attributes for our weather with wind break and tie down options.
See more on it here - A Big plus being the ability to use the awning also as secondary shelter for 2 persons at ground level at night... (Add walls and a swag or 2 bunkers). For the easiest install, These and other Pole Less awnings can be mounted directly to some tents using our 'Awning to Tent brackets' - while 79 owners wishing to run full size pole less awnings 'Independently' to a roof top tent need to 'bridge' the cab/chassis twist - requiring an over cab roof rack and a flexing front bracket to be installed over the cab (FLEXING Bracket system) .
Combined with a 'Awning to canopy' bracket system at the rear.

Considerations when fitting roof top tents to the The Toyota 79 SEries
The 79 Series Dual Cab Utes can suffer from handling and Chassis Twist issues when running with too much weight up high over the tray. Increasing rear suspension strength does nothing to prevent the problem.
​
79 series Dual Cabs accept Roof racks via Gutter Mount. Tough Touring Does make a Roof Tent Roof rack over the Cab for the 79series that puts Roof tents forward to stop chassis twist... These are listed here.
