Took advantage of a finally warmer day in February (2021) to pick up and install the ARB awning I got from Slee Off Road. The install actually turned out to be a super easy job, thanks in part to the Eazi-Awn brackets I picked up from my pal Paul at Equipt Expidition Outfitter in Salt Lake. Proffitt’s Resurrection Land Cruisers powder coated the brackets for me.
All in all it took about an hour to install the awning. I haven’t had a chance to test it out, but sure there will be plenty of time as we head into the warmer months:).
