3 seconds in and you already feel beamed into another world , due to music and pictures. then you get to see stuff you have never seen before and it is shown so simple that even a newby like me can uderstand how it is done and all that without words. room for imagination is left open during the next moving pictures and it looks so beautiful. then this man finaly starts to talk and tell you about his own imagination. explaining some facts as well as showing possibilities. THIS IS HOW GREAT VIDEOS ARE MADE ! cant wait to see more. thank you !!!

thank you for the kind words! i'm glad you enjoy them in this deep way🙌🏼

The truck is looking Sweet. It keeps getting better with each mod. Thanks for all the hard work on the videos. They are great, keep each of us in your adventures. Stay safe.

Dig the hard shell setup. If I had to nit pick, the side entrance would be a bummer on wet or snowy conditions. The rear setup on the tundra to use the "awning" would be by choice. Love it though!

Looks good Edward! Can't wait to see what you have in store with the next upgrade!

Great review, rig is starting to look real good!

Great update. Looking really nice. Does look like a tight fit for two. Possibly on top items you hope never to need while driving. Like your shovel and traction boards. You could even put a cargo box with recovery gear. That would free up where you have those items mounted now for other gear you use more often.

I usually find myself using the recovery gear more often in the winter, so I placed them on top of the roof for easy access. Let's hope I won't need to use them!

Hey Edward my friend, nice camper tent best of all nice to see baby Chole, your new tent looks easier to put up and fold down copair to your other one you had on the tundra, always be safe on your outing, hi to Chole, Katie, and little Bernie, Aloha bro

Very nice presentation. I hav a smitty built roof top tent. My first . It a huge upgrade from a ground tent. Your new set up looks great. 👍

I have a 2021. I love what you are doing to this thing. Benchmark.

I drove the BDR section from Ellensburg to Cashmere/Wenatchee a couple weekends ago. There is a section near the Mission Peak trailhead on FR9712 (about 5 miles from wenatchee) that is still washout out. Forest Service page update about 3 months ago says it has been repaired but I have found other videos on youtube from 2018 and 2020 of the washouts and it hasn't changed. I had to back track quite a bit and come down Blewett Pass

Makes sense to go with a ground tent. We are currently using one when Katie and Chloe join, since we need to fit a pack'n'play in there. There's really no wrong way to enjoy camp, especially when you're able to do it with people you care about

Awesome rig! I have been wanting to change over to a "bed rack" system for a while now, my only concern is the exposed fridge. How do you deal with the weather elements and dust with the exposed fridge?

The tent for the rig looks to have good quality materials

@KrokemOutdoors

Absolutely does

Is there any accessories for covering the outside of the truckbed rack to convert the space between the RTT and the Deck System into sleeping platform? I envision something that connects to the track system of the RTT and creates a soft-top type cover

....especially if you live in Portland, OR. Awesome video!

6:42 before a word was spoken. Haha

"Or, if you live in Portland Oregon". - love it.

Great video, and awesome truck. How long is the inside of that tent, and how tall are you do your feet hit the roof when you’re laying down

I love the padlock it if you want to leave it for a while, or in Portland. When you know you know.

Does the double channel come with a thicker mattress? Or is there just an extra 2" of interior space

“Or if you live in Portland Oregon!”….awesome!!!

I would love to know more about your bed rack system. Not sure if anyone else has asked, but would love to check it out. Thanks and nice video!

How do you like CVT as a brand/company? I just got my first RTT from them and got the Mt. Washington for $1500. They are discontinued models now so they are getting rid of them. I couldn't pass it up at that price.

I like the setup. Does this tent comes with optional extended canopy all the way to the floor?

Starting my journey ;)

I love that build man. I keep referencing it when I do things to my first gen rebel. I was also looking at that tire carrier. I'm thinking of moving up to 35's as well. Does that little wheel thing come with it? I'm assuming its to keep you from bottoming it out?

I'm really curious to what kind of a hit your fuel mileage took with the wheels and tires you recently added.

@@KrokemOutdoors sweet man. Keep it up! My build is coming along too and following all yours closely.

Did you have to use risers to get clearance over the roof? I'm doing same setup, same truck.

Would one of those tailgate ladders, that fit inside the tailgate, be good for you???

If it rains a lot in your area, are you going to want an awning over the opening to prevent your bedding from getting wet, or is there enough room where the bedding doesn't butt directly up to the door?

@KrokemOutdoors

2 жыл бұрын

The bedding will stay fairly dry unless I have condensation inside, which I’ll try to avoid. Also, if needed, I can use the ladder on the rear of the tent which has the overhang

Funny comment about living in Portland, OR and using padlocks. Eventually our country will get its rear in gear and clean up its cities so that they will be nice places to visit once again. Great build by the way. Looking to do something similar on my truck.

Hi Edward, which size of Mt. Hood did you go with?

Which one do you like better? Roofnest xl or cvt large?

Completely unrelated to the tent, what did you put on your tailgate to make it a flat surface?

your portland comment made me lol and sub.

I’m not gonna lie, I watched this entire video to see how you get up into the tent… 🤓🤓🤓 I have a 2008 Honda Civic, so I’m not looking for one of these tents, I just thought it looked cool. 🥳🥳🥳

Maybe mount 2 flat 100 watt solar panel on the tent hard top?

Awesome

How tall are you and can you sleep with your legs fully extended?

Hows this one compared with the roofnest falcon????

What’s the wheel and tire setup ? Looks nice thanks

Love your videos. Can you do a little bit on why you went to the Mt. Hood from the Falcon XL? Was it just the dual rail option on the main body? Those are kind of my top two right now.

What’s your take on lifts? Yes to a lift and if so how high? Or do you not think lifts are necessary? And this is in regards to an “entry level” overlander/outdoorsman

@KrokemOutdoors

2 жыл бұрын

I think a lift is great if it’s to help you with your build, meaning whether it’s to allow for bigger tires, or gain more clearance. If you don’t need bigger tires or clearance, then it’s not a necessity. I also personally wouldn’t want a lift that’s too high, since that would raise my center of gravity

Edward, How hard is it to wrap a Tundra when doing it yourself? I'm thinking of just putting a wrap on the Roof of my 2020 TRD PRO. Is it fairly easy to do as I know you started and had a little of a learning curve on it.

@KrokemOutdoors

2 жыл бұрын

It does take a lot of patience, which is key. Also, you will have to peel and stick back on here and there. If it's just a roof, it could be a good place to start, since any mistakes you make won't be clearly visible . I would suggest practicing on a small piece like a cup or something first
