Anyone mount a 180° awning on the roof?

Caught the Bug
My daily driver JT ( 4” long arm & 37’s) is slowly transitioning into more of a “rock lander” type rig. We already have a buggy & crawler but looking to use this rig for more trail scouting and wilderness camping. Set of dyntrac’s on order, picking tire/wheel combo now.

On my last scouting trip the temps were in the 90’s with no shade for miles. At our lunch break I sat under a friends awning to escape the brutal heat. Definitely a game changer when there’s no shade.

Looking to mount 180° Awning off a roof rack for maximum shade and want it easily removed for tight trails. Anyone done this? I’ve seen 90° degree awnings but they don’t offer as much shade. I don’t have a bed rack, I will have a roof rack so suggestions for that are welcome too.

My buddy used to have ROAM one on his cab-height bed rack, but on a Tacoma. Are you asking for mounting suggestions? Awning suggestions? Rack suggestions? I don't know anyone on here who runs one.

Awning & mounting suggestions. I’ve seen the ROAM, it’s kind of a small footprint. I like the JCR roof rack but their mount doesn’t work with 180° awnings.
 
Most people are doing a 270 awning now a days. I have done a decent amount on some different branded bed racks on fords and Toyotas but have yet to do one on a gladiator.
