Ironman4x4 270 Awning

Hey Gareth,
I have Ironman's new Deltawing 270 degree awning on my Land Cruiser 76. I don't have it on quick release as the Front Runner quick release brackets interfere with my Orion 1400 rooftop tent which is currently a permanent fixture. It is possible to run both, however then your tent has to sit slightly off to the one side to allow space for the tall quick release awning brackets. I'm a man of symmetry so I've hard mounted the awning instead to keep the lines clean. Front Runner never used to offer a quick release bracket for the heavier 270 degree awnings, however they do now and it when I unboxed the mounts, they looked robust and well-designed. FYI, they are an L-shape of sorts so while they mount to the side of the Front Runner roof racks, they do stick out above your rack when the awning is off. Hope that helps.

Thanks Craig. Appreciate the detailed response.

Hear you about symmetry and worried about the tent not sitting in the middle. Have the frontrunner tent on quick release which sits a bit higher up, so this might help.

You answered my questions / concerns though.

Awesome Gareth, that Deltawing is a proper piece of kit. Simple and sturdy design but those hidden LED strips that are built into each of the arms is an absolute game changer for nights in camp.

Part of the reason I want to replace my frontrunner awning. It looks epic and the integrated lights are a must have!

Plus anything that helps with speed of setup is a winner

Mate, have another question… did you notice a big weight difference?

It’s double the weight of my current setup and worried about the impact while driving and also the additional weight on my Prado roof (rack + rtt and awning)

Hey Gareth,

To be honest, I didn't notice any difference not did I hear any change in drag-related wind noise. As long as you have it mounted with three fixed brackets or Front Runner's heavy duty 270 degree quick release brackets then you'll be golden! Remember to check all the bolts after it's first proper off-road outing.

Also running the Ironman 270 on my rig. Really nice piece of kit. Easy to set up, lights are a game changer and relatively light all things considered.

Pretty stoked.

Rad setup Josh. Do you always put the legs down or do you remove them / keep them up if wind is not present?

Not always. Initially I was worried about the weight of the full awning on the brackets etc but I know it is designed / engineered to be used without the legs. Looks better too.

For this set up I just put them out because it was one of the first times using the awning so was testing everything properly.

Hi Guys, where do you recommend, in Cape Town, to fit this awning? Does Ironman have dealers that do it and is fitment an extra cost?

I have a AluCab Gen3R so I’m not sure about inter-brand connectivity and who is the best party to get the job done?

Hey Casey,

Drop Rohann Nieuwoudt a message via 0792946648, he is the Cape Town sales rep for Ironman. He'll be able to point you in the right direction.

Cheers,
Craig

Will the delta wing awning fit on an Invader caravan?

Honestly, I'm not sure. If you share your caravan's dimensions you could measure them against those of my awning or even the specs found on Ironman's website. That's the easiest route actually.

Heyy Casey, where about are you based in CT?
