Oh look, an ARB front bumper on it :daydream:
Lol but really, I think it would look okay. And even so, function over looks, right? At least to an extent.

I think 8 will fork just fine and you will be happy. It is like ok i am getting 35's and then when you get it you start talking to yourself stating why the fuck I did not go for 37's

a cheap way to go is a tarp and some para cord .. tie it off how ya want, make some poles for it .. is what i do couldnt see spending the money on the awning when a tarp works fine

I am a backpacker and totally understand that concept, but I want something a little cleaner looking with poles, but definitely don't want to break the bank doing it. I also want something that I can just leave attached to the Jeep.

That's the one that I think will be my best option. Do you have any pictures of how it's mounted?

I mounted it to the rack with L brackets from Home Depot and U bolts

I had a CVT awning on mine but it was the smallest version. I upgraded to the ARB 2000. I also have a Foxwing at home for my trailer but I am not sure if I will utilize it or not. I have friends who have it and say in a wind it needs 2 people to set up. Anyways I love my awning great while camping or at the beach. Here was my old CVT deployed for a day at the beach.

We use the awning all the time on are trailer. In fact i just ordered a new trailer with a kick ass awning system.
Its all automated and i dont have to worry about using a rod every time and not strip the lock mechanizem out.

Cancel that. I flip-flopped again. With the Fox wing, by the time I get brackets, etc, it's like 700 bucks. I just can't justify spending that for something that'll I'll only use a handful of times each year. Going with the ARB 2500 instead.
