How is the paint on the KC mounts holding up? I my get a set I like the looks
They are holding up very well, no chalk or faded areas, even the edges have held up, very happy with them, I think you would be too
Did you mounted this to your rack or the tent?
It is mounted to the rack using awning brackets mounted to the hd crossbars
@3:18 I spoke with someone at FSR about mounting there 270 or 180 awning or any other gear. They told me I wouldn’t be able to mount any accessories on this tent.
Correct, the frame of the tent is not designed for accessories, if your wanting to have them or racks you need the full aluminum cased hardshell
Thanks! This was very helpful.
Excellent, thanks for the comment!
How thick was your wood?
Its 3/4 inch plywood, thanks
Where can I purchase this tent?
You can get them here gofsr.com
Does that work on a 2018 JK with traction control and advanced trac off?
I am not sure if it works on a jk or not but worth a try!
Does that work on a 2018 JK with traction control and advanced trac off?
I am not sure, I am not familiar with the JK software but it’s worth a try!
Can this be used with a battery pack and how long much charge does a single use take?
Yes it can be used with any of the battery setups like jackery, ecoflow, anker, etc. as far as how much power does it use, i would say its really negligible if you pre heat the water maybe 100w for the pump while you shower, if you use the element to heat the water its going to take quite a bit 1500 to 2000 watts
Great job but next time I recommend you wear some disposable gloves to protect your hands.
Thanks and thanks for the feedback
Ok F that. I'll pay the $80 at the dealer for this. Thanks.
Right on
does removing the ladder and the mattress help with weight reduction?
Both the ladder and mattress do not weigh that much and especially the mattress would be a pain to remove, i keep the ladder in the jeep so i think this tent in particular is really light anyway so its a good one to have if your weight conscious

Studies have shown that the smell of petrol in your car, is no where near as offensive as the smell of an incinerated body after being rear ended, spraying flammable liquid over the entire vehicle, pending an ensuing inferno.
Well thats certainly a perspective that is yours, one thing you forget is the persistent exposure to the vapor that comes from gasoline is toxic to your lungs, cause a myriad of cancers, gets infused into every cloth surface, contaminates anything edible inside your vehicle, and last but not least creates when containing inside a closed vehicle a potential explosive environment as the vapor is extremely flammable, while yea if you are rear ended by tractor trailer or large enough suv to break the rotopax gas will leak but at that point its the least of your worries as the damage done to your vehicle most likely has a far greater effect on your life and i would much rather have gas spilling on the outside than on the inside not to mention the thousands of miles you exposed yourself and everything you own to the gas vapor you put in your vehicle
Thanks for sharing. Is the bracket a must thing?
Thank you, I would say for money it is probably the best and most useful addition to the jeep, i have changed many things about my set up in the last few years but have always kept this table and use it every time we camp
Very informative and well explained! Do I have a question though. How do you dispose of the oil? Thank you
@samanthathomas2044 We always take the used oil to the local autoparts store. Depending on where u live if there is an advance auto, autozone, orielys, pepboys, carquest and some napa and walmart tire and auto will accept used oil and dispose of it for free.
Each tank is 85, the locking piece is 75 and spare tire rack is 120… darn Inflation 😅
Crazy how much everything has gone up
@@FischerJeepAdventures seriously…
Hi could you tell me how thick are the bump stops in this kit . Thx
It adds a 2 1/2 inch spacer between the stock bump stop location. I reused the stock ones they fit into the spacer just like they fit in the stock housing
I've been to several of these places separately quite a few times but didnt think they could all be connected by mostly forest road or trails. I'll have to check these routes out and make a nice week of it. Thanks for the videos.
Awesome! Thank you, it is a pretty cool camping trip when you string them all together, we had a great time!
Plastic housings will break if you have incompetent people changing your oil. If you do it yourself like you do it will last the life of your car. And aftermarket to boot not good. If you’re worried about breaking it order an extra one and keep it for emergency. Just a thought
At the recommendation of everyone since i changed out the plastic one, I did purchase the metal toyota oil filter housing, the dorman lasted three oil changes with no issues at all, but i found a toyota housing for $30.00 so I bought it and installed it on the last oil change, I guess everyone thinks the dorman aluminum is cheaper than toyota but they looked the same to me, anyway your right if you use the right tool to take it off and do not overtighten it should last
PSA don’t buy the Dorman one it breaks. I would buy Dorman other products but not this product
Thanks for the comment
nice video nice ride regular awd suv able to make it ?
Thank you, yes a regular suv can make it there are some spots where you will want to watch some of the rocks in the road, but its really a good road, there was Subaru out there doing just fine
Thanks Going to be our first time visit . Heard some people saying 4WD a must .
@1ivandang awd is fine, i would be cognizant of the weather, dry its an easy ride, if they have had rain I would think hard about it, the mud out there is like grease and it sticks to the tires and would easy get you into trouble with a stock suv
got it. greatly appreciate for the advice.
@1ivandang have fun the views are pretty amazing
Great videos on the unboxing and the install, have you camped in it yet?
Thanks I appreciate it, yes i have two nights in it so far and I really like it, I just moved to colorado and I want a couple more nights in it at elevation before I do the full review but so far I really like it!
I have tried several time with my 2020 gladiator and it will not lock the rear.....any ideas????
Just a quick question will it lock like normal when in 4 low?
yes @@FischerJeepAdventures
25% Dislikes, Jesus
I guess it was not for everyone
💪
Thanks
Have a 23 TRD off road, Switched to 5w30 full synthetic. All the vehicles I have that use 0w20 all started using oil very early with about 50-75000 km…..switched to 5w30 and I measure about 250ml between changes 4-5000km interval.
Ok thanks for that thats great information to have, appreciate it!
bought the same gen 03 prerunner 250k miles accs cab and just had the motor rebuilt i love how simple these trucks are. cant wait to see your journey with this one.
Awesome, and thanks I am really excited about it! They are great trucks and the simplicity especially in the world electronics now a days is a breath of fresh air
Thanks for showing this, my Tahoe is not going to make it over the big rock. It'll rip out my air dam.
Glad it helped with the decision, always best to avoid damaging something if you can help it, there are still Some good camp spots along the road to the left before you get to the rocks on the first part of the actual trail
Maybe I missed it, but is there some way of locking the ratchet strap? Seems like a waste to have locking rotopacks mounted on an unsecured strap.
You didnt there is not a way to lock the ratchet straps, plus they can be cut with a knife if people are determined, the lock on the rotopax is cheap insurance to make it difficult to take them, sure they can try and undo the straps and then get the assembly off and try and runaway with the entire mess, but i am going to make it hard, the harder things are to take the less likely the opportunistic criminal will act. So to your point yes they can still be taken but like I said I am gonna make it difficult to do so
I use a similar system... but with the much cheaper Long Haul cans from China. I put a lock on my strap but like he said, anyone can cut the strap or just siphon the gas. Siphoning the gas is how I'd prefer it to be stolen if it happens because that is the cheapest and easiest thing to replace. When it comes to this stuff, my thoughts are just to make it so some impulsive kid walking by can't take my shit. Anyone who comes to my jeep with a plan, I have very little defense from. I'm a believer that most of these crimes are targets of opportunity, and even a simple heavy-duty ziptie on the strap handle can make a kid walk away. If he can cut the tie, he can cut the strap. 🤷♂️
@CoreyBrass exactly!! Thanks
I got a 1993 Toyota Pickup with the 22RE from my uncle for $500 bucks lol. 5 speed manual, manual roll up windows, manual locks, 306K miles, and it's a long bed. It's 2WD but it never snows here so I am good with it. But the long bed is super useful. I love old Toyotas.
Awesome, sounds like a great truck!!
Was yours gray? Mine was the same and gray/silver. Loved it.
How is the 35s spare holding without a reinforcement? Is it still good or are you getting any shaking noise when you drive? After two years, have you noticed any difference or issues?
Its as rock solid as it was the day i put it on there, no shakes not loose and the hinges are not showing any wear at all
You bought an antique, lol!
Indeed right! Its an old one but a good one, basic, simple, easy to work on and best of all the frame and all the undercarriage is rust free, most trucks this age on the east coast would be complete rust buckets unless really cared for
I still drive my land cruiser prado 90 series. Different body shell but the same chassis and suspension as your 3rd gen 4runner. It has the slower L series naturally aspirated idi diesel engine. It just doesn't wear out.
@hokz7283 awesoem that spunds like a great truck, those diesels are super nice!!
Dude that thing looks awesome on the Jeep! Is the RTT able to keep sleeping bags in it when closed?
Thanks, I really like it, Yes if you lay them flat you can leave them in there, if you have real pillows they take up too much space an have to come out
Lots of fun!
Yes, really enjoying it!
@@FischerJeepAdventures That’s awesome. Great to see your wife involved too. Looking forward to the TJ’s transformation. Best of luck on this project.
@mikesters3532 thank you!
I used to ride this trail on my "dual sport" back when you could go all the way through. I once met the original property owner of the now closed off section. He told me all about the community that lived there in his grandparent's day. He told me where the foundations of the general store and the schoolhouse are. He said his grandfather had a 2-wheel drive truck and a Ford Fairlane and could easily get around the whole community. It is too bad that you can't go through their anymore because it was so interesting. A few 'bad seed' 4WD people ruined it for everyone by driving into closed areas.
Wow thats really cool history thanks for sharing and yes it is frustrating for sure that a few carless folks ruin it for the vast majority of responsible people just put enjoying the trails.
🤦🏻 sloppy install
Thanks for your criticism
@@FischerJeepAdventures nothing like sticking adhesive on mud 😂
@Madmike908 well it apparently was good enough because it is still where we installed months and many miles later
what did he do to mount the brake line bracket that no longer fits on the new arm
So we tried a couple things the brake line anchor brackets by teraflex didnt work well in my opinion, so all i did was bend the factory bracket and used two zip ties pulled tight by a zip tie gun and they have been that way for 10000 miles with no issues, my plan has been to just replace the zip ties each year and let it be, seems to work in my setup
Wow nice car please add the KC gravity titan lights to the new jeep when out venturing they are great try them out and review them to us
We will definitely check them out thanks!
@@FischerJeepAdventures yes sir check them out their great lights
Mind if I ask how tall you are, and how you fit? Typically issues with toes in the wedge of tent, although this looks like it opens to 40 degrees or so…
I am 6’9 240, and i fit pretty good, i cannot lay on my back stretched out but other wise i have plenty of room, being my size you learn to sleep on your side. But i can sit up and have space left its plenty roomy with me and my wife. Hope that helps?
How does it ride, corner?
It rides great soft when it needs to be but firm when you also need it to be, minimal body roll so it corners great, I would buy it again without hesitation!
I’m looking for a real 2.5” lift kit to replace my spacer lift…this AEV has been getting good reviews. Also looking at Duratrac, JKS and Clayton Overland (which includes all 8 control arms, front and rear track bars, springs).
Those are great options and i looked at all those as well. Settled on the AEV lift simply because of reputation and great reviews from those that had tested it and I was not disappointed with my choice the system is balanced and rides great, there are other kits that offer extra bits but with that i think you get an inferior coil spring and shock combo and thats truly where the ride and handling is
Thanks for the video. How wide is your Jeep? I have a Rubicon Xtreme Recon which also has 35in tires. My exact dimensions 79.3 inches wide. Do you think that will fit?
Hey thank you for checking out the video, i was setting almost 80 inches the side walls were touching the rails of the trailer but it fit and made it 1700 miles across the country with no issues. I did inflate the tires to the max cold psi the shrink the width ever so slightly but yes you will fit!
Thanks!
@giovannidigirolamo2740 absolutely
my jeep keeps getting the service electronic stability and throttle control codes. It gets the check engine and the red lightning bolt. It is lifted and when I drive anywhere it just will randomly go into limp mode. It’s so frustrating. I checked the codes and they were for throttle body and accelerator pedal. Do you think the issue will go away if I replace both?
I am not a huge fan of just replacing parts. My guess is it is something electrical. Before replacing anything i would check to make sure all the fuses are pushed down all the way, make sure all the ground connections are tight, make sure the battery cables are tight, and i would inspect, clean, and reapply dielectric grease to them, just to make sure you have no moisture in the connectors, clear any codes with a code reader and see if that works first
Thanks for the video. Really helped. Just changed my girlfriend's oil on her 4runner. Man that front skid plate was such a pain to get detached. Took me twice as long as it takes to change the oil on my Tacoma.
Good i am glad it helped, i appreciate the skid plates but why they had to make it so hard to get them off is beyond me
How many miles can you get out of this engine if it’s well maintained?
If you change the oil like your supposed to with good quality oil and keep the airfilter clean I would say easily 150,000 to 200000 with any major issues, you will have normal maintenance items like with any engine, water pumps, plugs, coils, alternators, etc and depending on how hard you are on the motor maybe the turbo but I would doubt it. They are a solid platform
Great video.. maybe edit it with some overlay text telling the drain plug nut size, filter part number whether it’s mopar, Royal Purple etc.. and also filter wrench. 👍
Thank you and great points for us to add
He says 1/2 wrench in the video at least 2 times. The video shows the oil filter box, which shows the brand and the part number
hello do anyone know where the throlley body its on this jeep same engine ? no one has a video online and it giving me issues \check electronic throlley body message car goes on a limp mode thanks alot
Has anyone added a spacer to the front of this lift to help level it out. Getting ready to install this and want to get rid of the nose dive look.
The lift is set for an overlanding load, so once you load up in the back and in my case as well put on a roof top tent it leveled out nicely, if your not going to do that and just want the lift a spacer may work to give you the stance your looking for
