I have a few questions as my jvc doesn't have android auto, how's the radio holding up? All I am getting is 1 station right now. Have the pac harness to get new one up and running. But the camera replacement intrigues me. Do you have any more videos of install ?

Thank you for the video. I feel empowered to start my own build. But how many hours do you think you have invested into building it?

Been checking out your vids man, awesome work, just subbed 👍🏽👍🏽

Wow man, I'm no overlander by any means but I do own a 2012 TRD sport 4x4 double cab in manual and this video held my attention through out the whole video, very very awesome what you've done to your truck, amazing 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽who knows.. Maybe one day I'll take the overlander route and just build my own and travel the country, who needs a house or apartment 😂😂awesome work taco brother 👍🏽👍🏽

Is there an air filter? What happens when it rains?...does water get in from the top and/or sit in the tube until you suck it up?

Maybe you mention this somewhere but is that a 5 ft pickup bed? Sweet build, thanks for all the info!

The only thing keeping me from building one was the canvas part, thanks to this video, know I know.. thank you sir!

Nice idea but I rather buy a used unit for about the same price

Mmm I do 't get it.. I live in Costa Rica, where when it rains, it rains and having the air intake at the bottom of the windscreen seams madness, as the water will go straight down the screen and into the air intake..!!

Did the video of the entire DIY process has disappeared from the channel ?

Awesome Build

I started 2024 practicing with FPV drones, how are your skills on FPV now?

dude this is incredible! Thank you so much for making all of this public, you are doing this community a priceless service! Amazing work and thank you!

thanks so much for sharing. I am building an overland trailer, I am thinking of doing similar to the same thing but instead of a wedge i am going to do a square.

These are so dumb on crew cabs.

That is fantastic.

Dude, that color. 😮😮😮😮 I tried to find spruce green but just couldn't. I bought a white one with 52K miles and a 6-inch lift for 23K, so that kinda made me give up, and the spruce green dream.

I'm curious as to why you wouldn't build a full pop-up, given the cost and weight are a minimal increase and you get so much more space when camping... especially in bad weather.

What trans was used?

With the head unit included whats was your total price on hardware? I have a 2014 Tacoma and would love to have Android Auto. Thanks for the video 😊 Looks nice lots if great information.

Bro i tried to find a spruce mica green Tacoma. I bought a white 2014 V6 Tacoma full cab with 52K miles on it 6 months ago for 23K. It has a full lift kit and blacked out emblems and everything so i cant complain. Im hoping to put Alpha Rex headlights and taillights plus the TRD style grille with raptor lights soon.

i'm almost done with my conversion.. i was able to fit a Skar 8" sub in the factory box with some easy mods (and patience). i used adapters to replace the door speakers, 6" mids in all doors. i used sound deadening in the sub area/back wall and on the 4 doors. two small amps behind the left passenger seat - the storage area. i'm replacing the factory radio with a 12" screen android/tablet style. the most time consuming aspect was tracing all the JBL wiring and tearing it out.

What I can’t figure out is how there is no water infiltration between the keder rail and the extruded aluminum. Is it just because of the little skirt that hangs over the extruded aluminum when it is up? …and that skirt is tucked in when closed And how do you deal with the corners where the keder rail doesn’t go around the corner in one continuous piece?

Isn’t water going to flow right into your engine when it rains?

Wish you still did videos this was great best wishes

I like your make! First, KISS principle! (keep it simple stupid!) which is the best for off-road and life in general! Second, very rational layout, easy to handle and use, maximum space and nothing weird outside (privacy ok!) Last but not least, affordable! Very inspiring, thanks from Italy! i'm going to start a similar project

you totally rock! =D i'm in the midst of designing a pop up with extrusion only mounted on the bed rails...man what a great great reference here...thank you @ripcord !

Where do I can get the 8020 struts. How long it is

Very cool 😎

I could not see the blueprints and materials list. GREAT work. I love the weight.

surf every day

Could the top part be modular. Ima contractor and. Was thinking that i the top could be removable and could swap it with a diff top. That is specific fo wirk and has a rack for material transport

What would the downfall be of running 1.5”x3” extrusions for the bottom frame instead of the 1.5”x4.5”. The 1.5”x4.5” is at like $2.60 a inch right now.

Are you traveling Canada with your wife ? You look like you are the person I bump with in lake O Hara

You quoted this at roughly 3k. How much would you estimate for just making a normal clam shell RTT?

where did you get that tire mount for the bed brotha

Love the zia on your chest! And the camper build

Why haven’t there been anymore videos? Two year old vids but great channel it’s to bad you don’t make anymore vids.

My 2010 TRD sport has the backup camera in the mirror too

Winter could be an issue with snow & ice.

Use a lumber rack to cut cost. But amazing job buddy!

Maybe i missed it, but is there a way to open the hatch and/or tailgate from the inside whilst all hatches and tailgate closed? Mostly for pest prevention, excess moisture exposeure to interior, and winter camping.

Hey bro I’m having a hard time trying to figure out how you maunted the actual bed /top part of the tent to the actual welded fram you made did you have to drill up to the actual panels?

Yo - Bro - this is so good! Thanks for this video!

Hi handsome. Great channel. 👍

89mm in 3.5" I did a gooseneck earlier today lol

oh man thats great! you definitely needed that diff lock for a few obstacles right? Asking as a TRD Sport guy, whos trying to figure out if an elocker is in my future.

Good looking rig and great job ! Just curious what size struts you used for the panels?

I like it thank you!

Do you mind me asking what those round magnetic puck style lights are? They look sweet! Nice video by the way. Definitely have a lot of work to do on my tundra to be this comfortable!
