Backwoods Adventure Mods HD Awning Brackets for DRIFTR Roof Racks

Mounting your awning to your DRIFTR roof rack just got easier. These heavy-duty aluminum awning brackets are precision-engineered to work seamlessly with all Backwoods DRIFTR roof racks, offering the adjustability and strength you need for secure awning installation.

Built for Real-World Use

Constructed from 0.25" thick aluminum, these brackets deliver serious strength without the weight penalty of steel. The beefy construction handles the stress of repeated awning deployment and retraction, while the corrosion-resistant aluminum and powder-coated finish ensure they'll look good season after season.

The adjustable height system lets you fine-tune your awning placement to match your vehicle's profile and your preferred setup. Whether you're running a compact awning for quick shade or a full-size unit for basecamp, these brackets adapt to your needs.

What You Get

Each kit includes a pair of brackets with all necessary mounting hardware for direct installation to your DRIFTR rack's extrusion channels. No drilling, no modifications—just bolt them on and mount your awning.

The black powder coat finish matches Backwoods DRIFTR rack aesthetics while adding an extra layer of protection against the elements. These are designed specifically for DRIFTR racks but may work with other brands using similar extrusion profiles.

Key Specifications

Material: 0.25" thick aluminum construction
Finish: Black powder coat (included, no upcharge)
Package: Pair (2 brackets)
Hardware: All mounting bolts included
Compatibility: Backwoods DRIFTR roof racks (all models)
Made in USA
Weight: Approximately 3 lbs per pair

Installation

Mounting is straightforward—slide the brackets into your DRIFTR rack's extrusion channels, position them according to your awning's mounting points, and tighten down. The adjustable design accommodates various awning brands and mounting configurations.

Most installations take under 30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Compatibility

These brackets are engineered for Backwoods DRIFTR roof racks across all vehicle applications:

Toyota Tacoma (2nd, 3rd, 4th Gen)
Toyota 4Runner (5th Gen)
Toyota Tundra (3rd Gen)
Toyota Land Cruiser 250
Lexus GX550

While designed specifically for DRIFTR racks, they may fit other rack systems using similar extrusion profiles. Verify your rack's compatibility before ordering.

Why Aluminum Over Steel

We chose aluminum for these brackets because it delivers the strength you need without rust concerns. You're mounting these on an aluminum rack—matching materials makes sense. The 0.25" thickness provides rigidity without excessive weight, and aluminum won't corrode in wet environments or coastal conditions.

Steel brackets might seem tougher, but the reality is that properly designed aluminum outperforms steel in outdoor applications where weight and corrosion matter.

Common Awning Compatibility

These brackets work with most common awning brands including ARB, Rhino-Rack, Tepui, Overland Vehicle Systems, and similar slide-mount style awnings. If your awning uses a slide-in mounting rail, these brackets will likely work.

Check your awning manufacturer's specifications for mounting requirements. Some awnings may require additional hardware or adapters (not included).

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these fit my awning brand?

These brackets accommodate most slide-mount awnings. Check your awning's mounting requirements—if it uses a slide-rail system, these brackets should work. Some brands may require additional adapters.

Can I adjust the height after installation?

Yes, the brackets feature multiple mounting positions for height adjustment. You can fine-tune placement before final tightening.

Do I need two pairs for one awning?

No, one pair (2 brackets) is typically sufficient for most awnings. Larger awnings over 8 feet may benefit from additional support, but standard sizes work with one pair.

Are these compatible with other roof rack brands?

These are designed specifically for Backwoods DRIFTR racks. They may work with other racks using similar extrusion profiles, but we can't guarantee fitment outside DRIFTR systems.

What's included in the package?

You get 2 brackets and all mounting hardware needed to attach them to your DRIFTR rack. Awning-specific hardware is not included—use your awning's supplied mounting hardware.
