OMG I’m cracking up 😂😂😂 Thank you!

I like the tips. I have the same window vents, one of the best inventions for the 4Runner! I use similar leveling blocks. I use the leveling app on my iphone to help get the perfect level! The keys on the coat hanger...never a thought of that! Great idea! In the summer when it is a bit too toasty in the truck at night, I have a remote starter with a timer shutoff (I set it to shutoff after 12 minutes). I set the AC on blast and it cools the cabin for 12 minutes without having to get up and get in the driver's seat to start the truck. I also have that same Thule roof top storage, love it too!

I totally agree with you on the reasons for sleeping inside the truck, and not outside (Specially if you are by yourself).

Survivalist mentality, i like it.

One suggestion is to use the passenger side mattress as it looks like your passenger side front seat is further forward thus giving you a little extra stretching space. Also you should mount the Carbon Monoxide (CO) detector low because CO is heavy and will fill up the bottom the vehicle covering you while you sleep (suffocation) before it triggers the alarm mounted by the roof.

@dirtmartians3534

9 ай бұрын

That's very true, and a great idea for the alarm!. The reason I stick it up high is because we keep the air circulating with the fan. So nothing should be able to settle at the bottom of the sleep area. However, that's still a good idea. I'll see if I can find a lower spot that's out of the way where it can live. I think I will inflate both sides next time I solo! Why not sleep like a KING! LOL!

@bobbyd8503

3 ай бұрын

CO is not heavier than air, so having it mounted up on the window is fine. Most home CO detectors are mounted up high as they are usually a smoke detector combo, unless it's a stand alone plug in model.

I got a Luno mattress for my Ford Escape and did a week long road/camping trip. I set it up on the passenger side so that I wouldn't have to fiddle with moving my drivers seat every day (I only spent 1 night at each location). Anyway, it definitely was great since it allowed me to do the trip without having a crazy build like some people do.

Amen! Not a fan of rooftop tents either. A roof box is way cheaper and helps stay organized, and a 4Runner is weatherproof and its easier to get in and out of the vehicle vs climbing on the roof. I camp with guys who use roof top tents and they always seem like a pain in the ass. I'm always set up and packed before them, and I don't stress if it starts pouring rain - I'll be bone dry in the morning and don't have to deal with drying out a tent after I get home.

Add to that getting older. Climbing up a ladder to a rooftop is a pain in the knees and feet after a certain age. So is kneeling down in a ground tent.

Love your energy man! Even when you’re by yourself you still bring it! I’d have to say camping with wind cause you can still get out there whereas rain keeps you stuck inside and might as well have stayed home. Is the best part of camping having so many toilet options though? 😂

Good vid with good info. I would rather the wind, but where I go I usually get a good dose of both wind AND rain. Another reason that being able to button up the 4runner is better than tents. Used to run a Jeep Cherokee, but the 4runner is a definite upgrade. For leveling the floor I have a thin bit of plywood cut to size and fiberglassed it for reinforcement. I have several bits of hardware/tools/odds-n-ends I store below the plywood for the support. The extra table might be useful though in certain situations. Good versatility idea there.

Yuuuuuuup! Thanks for hangin’ 🙌🙌👽

Great video! I would rather camp in the rain, because we have a Gazelle tent and they're not fun in strong winds.

Hey! Yeah, this is such an easy and great set up. Great minds think alike! Have fun over there! Thanks for hanging with me! 🙌👽

I had a 2011 limited with the 3 row. I kinda miss it. Stocked never upgrade nothing in it. Only 85k, hardly ever used it just work and back and that’s 5 miles back and forth. I sold it to get a tundra. I love my tundra also.

Sounds like you took care of that 4Runner! 2011 with 85k on it is heaven 😂!! If I ever needed a pickup, I’d definitely go for the Tundra. Love those! Thanks for rollin’ with me, homie! 🙌👽🏕️

At 11:58 time stamp, "it's about 8000 feet." I CAN'T BREATHE 😫. Happens every time I go to Denver from Georgia. Takes me 3 days to get acclimated. Still watching.

Hahaha! So glad you enjoyed it! Yes, this elevation is no joke!

How do you like that fan? It’s on my Christmas wish list!

Absolutely love it. I’ve been using it a lot lately- in the house, car, etc. and it’s been great! I’d def recommend it. It wasn’t the best when I used it as a power supply to charge my phone, tho. As long as you stay away from that, you should be good! Thanks for hanging with me, homie!
