  • Awning on factory cross bars

    Hi All,

    I've searched but couldn't find much on this. Mainly people discussing the roof rails.

    On my Prado I have the factory cross bars as in the picture below. I was wondering if it's possible to fit an awning to it? If so, do you know what kit I need?

    Thanks,

    Addy

    Im not sure how the originals cross bars are like. But maybe this youtube clip might give you an idea?

      I would fit the 3rd crossbar for better support of the awning, especially 2.5m long ones. In general, there should be max overhang of 600mm from the end of the awning to its mounting bracket.

      For your crossbars, you can get T-nuts from a Rhinorack dealer to slide into the crossbars. You then need to space the awning bracket up to clear the lump on the legs of the crossbars.

        Thanks guys! When I spoke to one of the rhinorack dealers they said you have to get a roof rack to be able to mount an awning.

        It makes sense to get one more of the cross bars though. Do you know where I can get one more that are the same? Would gumtree be the only option?

          Gumtree, Toyota dealer, Rhinorack dealer. Toyota roofracks are rebadged Rhinorack.

          I would go with a 3-bar HD version which overhangs the legs and are more versatile.

            Thanks AMTS. Considering that I already have these roof bars, i don't feel like spending extra for all new bars, although I can see why they're better. I will be getting the proper platform in the future, but other things first
            Saw that Rhino now have Angled Up Bracket for Flush Bars, which should help with awning mounting. Thanks heaps guys! Love this forum
