Great video!
I brought and installed the Bushwakka 270 on Ranger Wildtrak without canopy, took a bit of work to fab up frame and brackets, but soo happy with it! It's much better than the traditional awning it replaced.

[@kenthayes575]

Would love to see photos of this to see how you’ve done it. I also have a wildtrak but have resigned to the idea of having to get a 180…

[@bemcleod2628]

270 Bushwakka for me without a canopy. I like the idea of covering the tub so the fridge and stuff is shaded out of the heat on those beach days.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yep, running a 270 now :)

[@fultzjourneys]

Why not for Ute's with canopy?

[@davidswain7409]

I literally just purchased one of these as my old 2m awning broke on my new Dmax.
Hopefully get to mount it next weekend

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Bit of a sneak peak then! :D

[@waynem3638]

Another great video Adam

[@JBBunno]

I put this awning on ages ago. I find putting an expanding pole across the outer middle adds removes that floppy look and adds rigidity to the front for an awning. Also folding brackets so it's in the flat position when travelling.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Top tip 👍

[@ChristianJamesK]

This is on my list for the MUX. Thank you Adam. You have nailed it again. Slide rails, perfect for the 23Zero sling

[@VideoShowMeHow]

270 version review coming right up 👍

[@ChristianJamesK]

@@VideoShowMeHow Boot opening on MUX and 270 is potential issue.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yeah, would need the rack to have it up a bit

[@distaux-8275]

Really good review just picked one up:)

[@roocrew86]

I went the darche 180 that's another good option

[@doubleainvest]

Great clip and I am sold on this awning. I have a Off Road Animal roof rack also. Just wanting to know your bracket set up for this awning. I want to take the awning off when I am not off road. Can you show some pics of the brackets you have used or just let me know what brand. Cheers and great work once again.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

I just used the factory ones for this one. You can get brackets like racksbrax that make it easier to take it on off etc

[@shaneburns4349]

I have ordered the 270 and will attach to my upgraded Kings MT2. A little worried about supporting the main pivoting connection. Not sure, if anyone else has had to install an awning with brackets that are close together, I would be keen to hear about how they found the twist in the main pivot connection. My plan B is to buy a Big FA RHS aluminium section from Ulrich (awesome company) south of Brisbane and run it the length of the awning.

[@sameastlake4808]

Hi Adam. Is it easy to remove the awning and mounting bracket if I don’t want to drive around with it on when I know I won’t be using it?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yep 2 min job, I only put it on for trips and day trips at the beach (will now the 270 version) 4 bolts bolt it onto the rack. I leave the brackets attached to the awning.

[@Candesce]

I feel like the only reason you'd get a 270 is if you had a canopy. I'm not sure I'm going to get a canopy or not, so I'm undecided about which one I'd go.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

I have the 270 review out soon so you can compare 👍

[@TurtleWurdle]

Even with a canopy it can be tricky, I’ve been wanting a 270 awning but its hard as I’ve got a canopy window that opens up really high, its most suitable on a wagon, its possible for alloy canopy’s for sure, but I’ve got the fibreglass canopy, and theirs workarounds you need to do to have a 270

[@Lewythefly]

I've got a Prado so a 270 would be great to cover the rear door too

[@tyson9159]

Hi. What water tank are you using? I can see you have attached one on the tub rack…

[@VideoShowMeHow]

eBay special, similar to rotopak. Is 30L.

[@Jimmy_Saf]

Hey mate have you seen the Campboss 4x4 180 degree awning? Thoughts on that product?

[@williamlim069]

Which awning did you get?

[@woodg5545]

Hey mate, you’ve pretty much sold me on the bushwakka, how is it holding up now? And does water get in at all when packed away like I’ve heard the darche ones do ?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Have gone to a 270 style. Never had an issue with water getting into the cover.

[@scotto5548]

Hey fella. Does the bag get water In It when It's packed up? Cheers.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Hey mate, no pretty decent 👍

[@jakeyh27]

Was everything included in the box? Mine only came with one pole and two guy ropes, the shop told me they’re only supplied with one pole

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yeah I bought a second pole with mine

[@morse2216]

Loved the review! What are the door handle guards you have fitted on the Dmax?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Some eBay specials 😂

[@brendonday7058]

What’s the total height of your car with the awning and do you need a roof platform to mount these types of awnings

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Would be about 2.1 (with my tyres lift etc). Ideally some sort of roof rack yes

[@deguzyquoia]

does this awning not come with built in led lights?

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Yep they do now, same as the ones on the 270 (review on the channel), I just had an earlier version

[@Beechy018]

Great video! Are you able to do a rundown on that tub rack? Looking at my options and that looks fantastic! Do the sail planes on the tub have a 80kg load capacity like some say? Cheers!

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Cheers! Unsure of the load rating on the sale planes. I'm unsure if they take that much weight, rack is connected directly to the tub. Putting together a video on it soon

[@Beechy018]

@@VideoShowMeHow Thanks for the quick reply! Really love going through all of the DMax builds, keeps me busy while waiting another 9 months!
Cant wait to see the video! Notifications will be on! Cheers!

Hi Adam , is that a fuel tank on the rack or a water tank , love the videos.

[@VideoShowMeHow]

I am using as water for the moment but it's designed for fuel, link in description

[@dursinaalexandru6348]

Matr please send me the link for these water tanks , I can't find it on Ebay

here you are: ebay.us/dZJRmd Have updated the description as well :)

@VideoShowMeHow Thanks Mate 😊

[@Flynnstar]

Why a 180 awning over a 270? Really liking your videos and might pick one of these up soon!

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Have gone to their 270, it's review out soon!!

[@wadedoueihi6075]

These cannot withstand wind, the back arm on mine snapped at the weld point and it wasn’t even too windy. Almost hit me in the head. Wasn’t too impressed to be honest

[@ChuckNorris01]

Why are you wearing gloves when assembling?

Just a bit of a thing on the channel ;)
