Specs:
Using just one motion, the MajorShady unfolds 270 degrees from your vehicle's roof to provide 80 sq ft of shade. Just unzip the storage bag and bring the awning from the side of your vehicle toward the rear. After it's deployed, use the taught line to secure the awning to your roof rack. Then, extend the inner pole to prop the middle of the awning up.
The telescoping support poles are built into the awning, which means you don't have to attach each pole separately during setup. Simply undo the hook-and-loop straps on the awning and drop them into position. After this, tighten the poles to the necessary height. You can also adjust the poles to different heights to suit any type of terrain, so they are always on solid ground. Finally, to bring the MajorShady to maximum tension, attach the guy ropes to the frame and secure them to the ground with the pegs.
Coated with polyurethane, the awning's durable, poly-cotton fabric is waterproof so it'll easily withstand a rain shower. Also, the telescoping poles and awning frame are constructed of aluminum and finished with a black powder coat. This means they won't rust or fade when exposed to the weather. When not in use, all the parts are stored inside the heavy-duty vinyl cover.
The MajorShady has an optional extension (sold separately) to provide more shade and improve your outdoor experience. It easily installs by zipping to the outer edges of the awning. And just like the MajorShady, it uses telescoping poles, guy ropes, and pegs to secure to the ground. It's also made from the same waterproof material.
Using a single extension, you can either increase your overhead coverage or form a sidewall that functions as a windbreak. When you add 3 more extensions, you can create a full enclosure around your vehicle.

The freestanding option is what sold me on this awning. I wanted an awning that I could quickly deploy without worrying about folding out legs and tying it down every time. I used it on a few trips now and it has been excellent.
I can set up and pack up the tent in seconds which has saved my butt at least twice when a quick storm rolled through. In the past I used those roll out type awnings that are a pain in the butt to set up and I will never go back after using this one.
I chose the driver side awning because occasionally I use a roof top tent that folds out to the passenger side. All in all, it is really cool, priced very competitively compared to other 270 awnings with the same features and the simple L-bracket mounting brackets make it extremely versatile and I plan on moving it to my teardrop camper in the future.

It looks like your Jeep is getting ready to take flight. I love how much space this awning covers. Have you ever thought about getting the extensions to make it a full enclosure and sleeping in your Jeep bed?
