If you open the ostrich wing do you have to bury the front of the Prado in a sand dune?My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic

Spent most of the day trying to get it fitted. 4 trips to bunnings, 2 trips to autobarn, 2 melted drill bits and a fairly decent burn later, it's attached to the roof but I still haven't got the back support bracket attached so can't even open it yet. Hopefully finish tomorrow. I can't tell you how thrilled my wife is with this Mother's Day.

It's attached to a piece of aluminium angle, 6mm 100x50mm, 2.2 metres long so that the awning has an extra mount point just past the end of my rack. It's only 1928mm.
There's 2 brackets that in theory are supposed to hold the entire load but I just bolted the angle between these and the rack/awning and seems strong enough to me. I'm not sure I'd have been comfortable without the angle:
The finished product seems great. I've no qualms about the strength of the awning although I am a little concerned how well the rhino rack clamps would hold up in a lot of wind. All in all, pretty happy with it so far though:
I'm not sure I'd leave it up without being nearby in case a gust sprang up but with the pole down, I'd be pretty happy. Considering how easy it is to put up and down though, I'll just pack it away whenever we're not using it. I'll give it a pretty good workout on the Cape trip in a few weeks so I'll see how it goes then. Certainly happy so far.
