First - glad you are okay from your accident. I looked serious. I had a a similar setup with a 2020 Tacoma and a Tufport T59. I have had many different setups, but I found this is absolutely the best for a single person. I thought I could provide a bit more information about the canopy/camper as I haven't seen too many other videos related to these canopies turned campers. The canopy is about 525 lbs. Most of the time I travel by myself so I was able to use it without any suspension modifications at all. I totally agree about the height concern related to regular truck campers - having a lower center of gravity and not having to worry as much about tree branches and rock overhangs on narrow rough roads is a definite advantage. The interior camper space is 60 inches by 75 inches. I am 5'10" so the north south bed as you have set up in your camper worked great. The T59 is 59 inches tall. Being able to sit up in bed and put on your shoes and clothes was a big bonus or a regular canopy setup I had before. You can easily work on your laptop sitting up as well. I had my bed setup so I could remove it in a couple of minutes. Wound up doing about five apartment moves, and that height meant I could stand dressers up on end, carry beds (the cab over was useful for this) and other furniture like chairs. I didn't have to worry about tarping to stop everything from getting wet, and could lock everything up inside. I actually think the camper makes the truck more useable as a truck. Tufports are made by a family owned business in Ladner, British Columbia Canada (just outside Vancouver). A large part of their business involves making off-road emergency canopies and refrigerated canopies for transporting tree seedlings. I think they have been in business for decades. These units just have to be built well to meet Canadian government regulations, or survive really rugged off-road use for the forest industry. I notice the seemed to have formed a partnership with a company called Wasatch Overland located in Utah. This means the units can be purchased on either side of the border. The base price they have for a T59 is about $10k. There are many options, including the inclusion of wooden strips to allow for attaching equipment on the sidewalls. I live in Canada, and travel at least 8000k/5000 miles a year on gravel and other off-roads. It is so solid that dust and water just does not get inside ever (except from your shoes of course). Note that when you a drive all day on gravel resource roads you may be travelling at 90-100k/50-60 miles per hour. You are also travelling with off-highway logging trucks and other resource industry workers travelling at even higher speeds to get to work etc. Often you have to pull over on the side of the road for a couple of minutes for the dust to clear. Out of curiosity I have been looking at some of the other more canopy based options that attach to your truck. All I can think of is the layers of dust that used to cover my gear when having a traditional canopy, in additional to broken zippers, tents with even tiny gaps that let the bugs in during the night, noisy windy nights from tent canvas and worrying about poking holes in the canvas even when it was good quality fabric. In the end I always come back to thinking the Tufport is the best option for me, the environment I live in, and typical driving conditions when on vacation. It looks like from your video you travel in similar areas. Thanks for taking the time to make your video. I hope you are really going to enjoy your new setup. Good luck and Happy travels.

Dude.. I am so sorry that accident happened to you. That artwork transitioning into the footage was INSANE and perfectly edited. Damn! What an experience.

Napkins or paper towels work great as quick coffee filters. Tip from woodsy woman in Arizona.

Interesting paint job on the camper. I have the same camper from tuffport that I bought in 2002 -- but I have the canopy version (lighter weight) for my full sized 2002 4x4 manual trans chevy with 8 foot box. I bought the plain jane version and customized it for winter storm camping ski trips. Custom windows for storming, 1.5" thick styrofoam insulation, 20 cubic foot alum lock box, catylytic heater, vanagon camper van propane tank mounted under truck, crawl thru tunnel into the cab, special storming roof vent -- etc. Its served me well for trips from sking, mtnbiking, surfing, overlanding in Utah -- etc. 20 years old and the camper has no leaks or cracks. I think you will like yours. I did however add air bags to the rear -- seams to help with washboard and I can jack up the clearance at the rear bumper.

I had a 2004 Pre Runner 4cyl. Over a 13 year period I built 4 campers on it. I loved that truck. Never an issue with the truck and very little maintenance was required. I bought it for 18K and sold it for 7K. I had about 200K on the odometer when I sold it. I miss it so much, but unfortunately my dog outgrew the right seat and I had to get a vehicle that would fit her. Mine was an extended cab. You will love your Tacoma also. You got a nice rig there.

Sick new truck, sick camper! Love those windows. Color goes great with your green too. Enjoy the rig, that company makes quality products, have seen some before 💕🤙

Congratulations on the new rig! Incredible video and beautifully done. Thank you for sharing.

Looks like a really nice upgrade. Thanks for showing us around. Thanks too for the link to the company. I've never heard of them. safe travels!

Glad everything turned around so quickly and positively for you. Love the truck. That's exactly the truck I would get especially being manual transmission. Look forward to how you add onto this perfect setup. Safe travels.

Great video love the setup and standard transmission!

I've been looking for the right setup for myself to go nomadic. That led me to this video. Cool setup. I have so much stuff that I gotta get rid of. So this video led me to Red Taco's last run. Someone is watching over you! I hope you're recovering well. And, go buy some lottery tickets 😉 Best of luck to you!

I’m so excited for you!! Congrats!!!

Beautiful rig man. I hope your channel grows you do a good work. Godspeed

Sweet rig man! Nice camper, I like the hard shell also. To each their own, but I agree on the pop up 🤙🏼

Nice new rig! Those camper shells are solid. Have seen a bunch of those up in Canada. The camo does grow on you. Best of luck!

I like it! Giving me ideas on my Durashell that I've had since 2012. I need to find a reputable shop to put in windows and a hatch on mine.

Great shots / edit / and love the new set up!!! Always enjoy your vids man.

Good job. nIce rig great camper, no leaks. light.

Looks like a solid solo camper. Good call. Sorry about your red taco.

Nice truck! Congratulations!

my favorite colorway on the taco, sick video dude

Thank you for sharing, great video 🤙🏽

You are an inspiration my brother

very nice setup and great channel . i saw the video you posted of your accident. that was crazy.

Epic man! Ive got a 07 taco i wanna do a build like this on. RIP your old taco! Glad your ok.

Love the new truck Army Green, 6ft bed, and Manual make for a good spec.

👍👍nice, liked your space, dash cover, o shit ofuck, I too have a green Toyota 00 tundra with a pop up 93 Sun lite

nice dab rig!

Awesome set up. The camo shell looks great with the green. I wish you could get a 6 speed manual with the double cab and 6 foot box.

Just got my Tacoma 2022 sport 4x4 with manual trans. I absolutely love it

A manual transmission is the best anti-theft devise you can have. 😃

That is all you need. It's exactly what I would like I'm jelous, Its cool.

Good job. easy build like my Van

you inspire me bro

Hello from NYC 👋🏾 Sorry to hear that you were in some form of wreck. Glad you're okay. I'm gonna check out your other videos to catch up with you. Your new rig is awesome. Is that a crack I see in your windshield?

素敵なトヨタコマですね。 布袋様のご加護があります様に。

Dam it! I had thought that your truck, in the thumbnail, was the new Frontier in Forest Green color. My bad.

Gorgeous! Thanks for the update! The camper looks well made and well laid out, and I love the smiling Buddha!! But how did you crack the windshield on a new truck???

hey blake!

Hi handsome what a great channel and product review. I have a 2023 honda Ridgeline rtle. I would like to put a camper too like yours. Im so excited to see yours. Yes. What happen to your windshield?

Paper towel will work for a filter in a pinch

That's a great setup for a solo traveler. Have you thought about bolting it to the truck permanently? I would be afraid of catching the tie-downs on rocks or trees.

How do you attach things to the fiberglass?

Very nice rig! I need to rebuild mine, but I'm hesitant to do so because I'm thinking I might want to upgrade to something a bit nicer like what you have. Question. How to you heat/cool it?

Love the Tuffport slide in would like to find one for my Tacoma. I picked up a contractor canopy for my build you can check out on my channel as well. I also heard that Tuffport is designing a overland slide in which I am excited to see.

You cant go Wrong with a Toyota.I am in South Africa and our version of the USA Tucoma is the Toyota Hilux,The Hilux is known as South Africas blue eyed Boy.Toyota is Huge in South Africa then Ford.You bought well!!

Love the rig. Do you get that kind of gas mileage with that camper on there? That's amazing

you know i see it a lot in hunting and camping vids and even a few friends trucks WTH is up with the bandanna on the shifter?

Why drive so fast on a nice dirt road? Scenery not good enough? Nice camper though.

Badass.
