Yes, The roof rack I built has gas shocks that lift it to a flat level position and legs fold down and lock down to truck. It's pretty ccool.then the 270 degree awning opens up and I have a Kammock pull out awning for passenger side

created with off the shelf parts or was fabrication involved? I can put stuff together, just dont have access to a drill press, metal saw, or welding equipment.

if @Urander made something like this, id be back in the awning buying business.

I made all of it. Yes, Urander and Cybertruckco, Unplugged, Tsportline are really the only ones mass producing their view of equipment.

I love it, where did you get the 3-plug power port?
great idea tapping off the 12volt already in the rear. I just purchase the 4-pin trailer plug adapter from Harbor freight, but the plug needs to be in place, your idea this eliminates this.
brings 12 volts outide the cab.
I also saw last week someone ran 120 volts to the frunk, 2 plugs and 2 USB ports, another great idea for picnics and outdoor summer concerts and car shows. etc. Frunkgating!

That 270 degree canopy is sweet, how long does it take to set up and is it one person operable

love this forum for sharing Idea's and new uses

Thanks! I got the plug off Amazon. the 270 canopy takes about 30 seconds to deploy and the Kammock on passenger side about 3.
