Just perfect. The use of steel tube versus Aluminium (yes I'm an Australian visitor ;-) ) is a very smart choice : barely more weight but stronger and more flexible and ... repairable.
Thanks for the vid! There’s not much channels out there upgrading and customizing 1st gen Tacos like yours! So we appreciate your time in doing these vids! Aloha!🤙🏽🤙🏽
I've watched this video and the build process videos a couple of times and each time I'm amazed at how good it all is. The quality of the video, the quality of the build, the step by step explanation #TopNotch
This is a bargain set up that looks real solid and strong! Very nice! Looks like it would be simple to add legs to the wings for more stability in high winds too. Very nice…
Thanks for taking all the thinking out of my next project. I've got an old cheap awning that's poles are a bit bent. I was thinking about converting it to a free standing on like this.
Great job! You remind me of a great friend from high school class of 78! His name is/was Gene Burton. If you are his son or grandson tell him Dave H said hi! Seriously! You look just like him!
I was watching michael amazing video and inspire my group of friend to start some camping activity during the pandemic 2020 since then we learn from your video and start making DIY 270 awning , shortly after few camping trip we decided to start our camper shop Best Wing Solution , thank you 🙏 and hope to meet up sometime in the future and keep up the good work together ❤️
You make it look so simple! Excellent job! You're going to piss off a lot of people but that's tough. I'd be an idiot not to subscribe to your channel! Freakin' awesome!👍👍
Absolutely awesome. Looking to make a tear drop style trailer and wanted an idea for a diy awning. I initially thought about taking the rungs off of a telescopic ladder and making a pull out awning. Too many ideas! 🤯😂
Great work. I am in the same boat. Hard to justify $1,000 for an awning. Great video of showing the key points of you design. Your hinge design answered several things for me. Well Done.
Man when the text popped up for the cost of the .75x.75x.120 tubing I about shit my self lol, $10 a foot is nuts HAHA. But then you said $10 for a full stick, which is about 2 bucks more than I'm paying for the same stick, but I get is at 24' lengths (the pluses of living in an Texas Oil Field Town, metal cheap and everywhere hehe). Very nice build!!!!!
haha yes! And man thats a good price, gotta love texas! ive called the same supply in the same day and have been quoted $15 and then $10 for a 20ft stick.. haha
Dude, that’s freakin’ awesome! Excellent job! You should consider making detailed drawings and a parts list and offer them for a reasonable amount of money, or maybe even sell DIY kits. I’d buy one 😀
really nice job. Id guess you spent as much time engineering this as in fabrication. Personally I like to repurpose materials I have so I really liked you did the same. I just bought a TIG welder so I will now attempt this myself, Thanks for sharing your design.
I just discovered your channel and have been binge watching since 😂 . Love your ideas, content and presentation. Keep up the great work and looking forward to more!
Just found your channel, subscribed! I really like it! DIY is awesome and you get such a good feeling about knowing you built it! Thanks and keep them coming! 👌
You my friend are the DIY, goat.
haha not sure about that but thanks!
Wow, dude kudos to you. I thought of trying this and said oh man, sounds like a lot 😂
thanks dude!
instablaster
Dude you did one hell of a job 👍 this is exactly what I was searching for thank you for the inspiration.
Yep!!
Brilliant! That's a great idea! The design of hinge and use of hollow ms tubes is a game changer.
Just perfect. The use of steel tube versus Aluminium (yes I'm an Australian visitor ;-) ) is a very smart choice : barely more weight but stronger and more flexible and ... repairable.
Nice Design and simple to make!!! 👍👍👍
Not your typical amazon/on line bolt on build with bunch of sponsors!!! Kudos!!!
Thanks man!
Just love the design on your awning. Super well built, strong and quite easy to do. I def give it a 2 thumbs up! 👍🏻👍🏻
Really impressive, makes me want to have a go myself
This is awesome. You did a great job explaining the design and materials. Great DIY option
Well done fella, what i like best is the fact that there is no supports or guide ropes required. Superb !
I love that this is better then any 800-1600 dollar set up I have seen.....lord you need to sell this stuff
You are a genius! Love the savings. I'm not very gifted or have a welder to help make one. Lol. Hope you make more to sale soon.
Really impressive. Definitely earned the follow.
You are a gifted person and truly humble. Thank you for the teaching and showing us the way. You are AWESOME!
DIY projects are the best I live to make them and love to watch them being made
Agreed!
This guy is the MacGyver of overland
The diy goat out here throwing shade ;)

That thing is brilliant!
Thanks man!
This channel is a gem
Well thanks, i really appreciate that!
Thanks for the vid! There’s not much channels out there upgrading and customizing 1st gen Tacos like yours! So we appreciate your time in doing these vids! Aloha!🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thanks man! I really appreacite it! lots more to come.
I love that you used REDS bearings!!
haha childhood favorites for all my boards
I am Super impressed!
It'd be super cool to use this model with telescopic legs from a shade canopy so you can use a standard roof tack without a truck canopy
Fantastic. Such a killer project.
Thanks Kirk!
That's what I was looking for, no additional poles to hold it up. Good video.
Excellent job.
I like the swing out area with all the bearings, great design 👍
Great video. I ordered the steel so I can make 2. 1 for my truck and 1 for my trailer. Thanks alot
thats what im talking about! so rad!
Thanks for the great video man I love the design and detailed description of your awning

That’s the best DIY awning that I have seen so far 👌

Thanks for another project to add to the list......Goes into garage. Plugs in welder and grinder.
Absolutely awesome. Looking to make a tear drop style trailer and wanted an idea for a diy awning. I initially thought about taking the rungs off of a telescopic ladder and making a pull out awning. Too many ideas! 🤯😂

Great build. Ive been wanting to make a rack mounted annex tent that fully stows in the bag. Some good ideas here.
I'm impressed on so many levels!
I know what you forgot to do, insert all building specs into the description 😂 this is an awesome build! Enjoyed watching this one 👏🤙
Amazing bro! Liked the way you have done hinges. ❤️
I've seen a few of these videos and you did the best job by far! Nice work brother.
Great work 👏 👍 bro
Thank you boss!
Man, my first thought was “ARB is $200”...then you folded it out...dude that rocks!! I have canopy envy! Patent that bad boy!
Really neat setup.
A big $$$ saver to be sure 👍
that is sick!
Your graphic said, "$10/ft", holy crap! Very nice build, just as good at the $1K awnings.
that is a great design good job
Very nice, gemplers carry a silver tarp that last for years
Fantastic, I love it.you’re good

Great job Sir. Just recently submitted. I really enjoy your ingenuity and frugality.
Thank you so much!
Dude, that’s freakin’ awesome! Excellent job! You should consider making detailed drawings and a parts list and offer them for a reasonable amount of money, or maybe even sell DIY kits. I’d buy one 😀
That's the plan!
Ya if you could make some plans that would be great. I would love something like this on my Element Project.
