Even if you kept your rooftop tent to sleep in, having a ground tent for hanging out in on a rainy day, changing clothes, keeping all your stuff dry is a good thing to have. I sleep on a cot inside a ground tent. So much more comfortable than climbing in and out of a rooftop tent. They sure look cool but they’re not for me.

I thought about a rooftop tent, but just can't justify the expense and don't want to haul it around all the time or have to take it off and store it. I am about to sell a teardop trailer I had been using and can't stand sleeping on the ground, so I'm also going to tent camping with a sleeping bag on a cot. If I'm only going to be somewhere for a night or two and don't feel like setting up and taking down the tent, I'll sleep in the back of my 4Runner.

I have no idea if you will see this after all this time. But instead of those big plastic potato chip bag holders get the black paper clips where the silver part folds down and it clamps on tight to a whole sheaf of papers. That's gonna hold your bag closed really tight and takes up very little room. And yes, am hoping you did a video showing tools you carry.

Hi Roger, great post. I really like your casual fun presentation style. About the gears, the 3gen 4runner has smaller pumpkins than the 4th/5th gens, so I’d keep it to 4.88 for gears. 5.29 will require a smaller pinion to fit and is weaker than the 4.88. I run 35s on my 5th gen and 4.88 is still feels just a hair short, but it shifts well and gets about 12.5 to 13 MPG even weighted down like it is. Anyway, I really enjoy your channel and I’ve subscribed! Cheers, Mike

Came across your channel today and I just want to say that I am really enjoying your content! I've been camping/overlanding for a decade but I always like to browse the internet for newer videos/guides just to make sure I don't fall behind or miss something super simple. If you're new to overlanding, you have great tips. If you're a seasoned overlander, you also have great tips. I've spent my family fortune (I don't have a family fortune, but with the money I've spent so far it might've been a fortune 50 years ago) on all my gear. P.S. YOTAs for life. Love your older-gen 4Runner. I'm working with a 2007 6-speed manual FJ Cruiser :)

As mentioned in my other comment, great video. One difference between diesel heaters and the propex is that the propex is either on or off, with no regulation while the most of the diesel heaters can be set at one of 5 settings plus on/off so they are a little easier to regulate temp. But I am with you that a propane option like the propex is preferable over having to deal with diesel, I just wish someone would come out with an option that more closely resembles the diesel heaters in flexibility and cost (if propex was $500, or less it would be perfect, but at about $1000 it’s too much for my use cases).

@ggg4runner Жыл бұрын

I have read that about the lack of output settings with Propex. The thing with the diesel/gasoline heaters though is that there is no middle ground to pricing as you mentioned. You either get cheap knockoff that may or may not work consistently and then you have the the big names like Webasto, Espar, and Planar that cost as much or quite a lot more than that Propex HS2211. I'm back and forth but leaning towards that Propex one like I said in the video, though I hope there's a middle-ground solution that comes out before I just buy something.

The other air compressor is the same as napa. It is not bad but the power cord does get hot fast. I am planning on doing some upgrades to it and hope I trust it more. Kinda wish I just got the arb or the tjm one instead. It has worked everytime I used it though.

Thank you for your insight. I wonder what gauge wire they use for the power? I've read that these style compressors peak at almost 90 amps initially and settle to just under 60.

Absolutely loving your channel! You put so much care and detail into explaining (and illustrating!) things - it is much appreciated. So many cool items here to consider. I wanted to ask: how exactly do you transport your propane tanks? And do you put them right in the back of the 4Runner? I want to get a 5 pound tank instead of using the little 1 pound bottles, but I’m worried about transporting the larger tank in the back of my SUV. Thank you so much!

@ggg4runner Жыл бұрын

You should not transport a propane tank inside the cabin of your vehicle as it can be a hazard if it leaks or if it's just loose (not strapped down). That being said, this is a case of do as I say and not as I do since I have been transporting it in the vehicle and keep it strapped down. From what I understand, keep it upright and never leave it in the vehicle on hot days. I have plans for a swing-out rear bumper where I can properly mount a propane tank in the future but for now that'll have to do. Another idea is to get one of them hitch mounted basket/carrier thingies if you have a hitch. Thank you for watching!

Cool vid,, but yeah, looooog. I don't care for the expensive Compressors or the cheap slow ones either. I assembled a C02 bottle setup for my tire duties. I tuck it way behind the driver seat. It air's up my 31's jiffy quick (about 2min per tire) depending on how low I run them. Normal trail psi is 15-20. Street psi= 35. Something to consider. Good luck with your adventures. Cheers 🍻, G.

GMRS is a better radio standard, which is fine if you're just looking to communicate with the other people in your 4x4 convoy, but truckers are all still using CB and the primary purpose of using a radio in my neck of the woods is to call out your location at regular intervals and listen for logging trucks doing the same for legitimate safety necessity. being able to BS with one another is a distant second objective. I can't wait for the truckers to all switch to GMRS so we can finally ditch CB.

Another tip with them, sometimes if your bag is too thin, fold it twice before sliding it under both folds. These things save so much money/food that I have 3 multi packs at home and keep 2 sets on my boat lol. That's the only down side to them, they keep things fresh so long they stay on bags forever so i needed more lol. On the boat they're a total necessity as the salt air ruins any open food almost immediately.

Hi again, I used GFC's 1/4-20 t-nuts which protrude past the surface of the extrusion as you already know. So, I added some large washers with a hole big enough to go around the t-nut to offset the protruded length. I suppose you can be less ghetto and drill out the back of the handle to accommodate for the t-nut but it works for me.
