Dude where you aired down in eastern oregon 🤦‍♂️. As a local we take cars on that grade drinking beer don't be so dramatic . I had to stop watching.

Map? How refreshing! Do you know where I can buy one of those?

Should have bout a Jeep... Just sayin.. Its going to be really expensive to lift that thing properly.. Best bet is probably Portals... =/ cool but expensive...

Soft top will eventually fad and crack .....The weather over time in the sun, rain, cold, and heat will eventually crack that material.

Great video. How was it mounting on the pioneer platform? Any custom drilling needed?

Another great educational video. My first comment is Men should not wear flip flops, ok, enough said about that. I was not able to go to this one as planned, but my daughter was there and we have been talking all day long about the amazing booths that are hosted by the small companies. They love talking about their product and what drove them to design and bring to market. She did not know about the app, so I instantly stopped your video ( i mean paused, PAUSED, I did not stop it, really) and sent her the link. She will be able to use it tomorrow. With all the running around I am asking her to do ( and she is 8 1/2 months pregnant) the map is a godsend. thanks for that tip. The new shirt logo look cool, are you going to keep it? Cheers...

Try’s to say that hatchets are dangerous and then suggests hammering tent stakes with a knife 😂

each one has various versions and revisions

These are all great tips and I use some already. A cordless fan is a game changer big time. Here are some more: I have a strong all metal rake that is about 7 inches wide with a shortish handle. I got it for 6 bucks at a hardware store. To be able to make a campsite free of thorns, pinecones/ sap, etc, really makes a huge difference. And I rake when I leave as well. A spray bottle with a mint oil/ water mix, to repel rodents, which can cause huge damage if they chew wires. I spray my tires, the ground and my engine every night and am very careful with food storage. Also mousetraps, which I am reluctant to mention and am not fond of using. But I have had rodent issues and the damage they can cause is real. It amazes me how fast they seem to be able to get in. I have had them the first night I camp. Lastly the fold up camp tables are fantastic. I use the Colemans as they are pretty reasonable. Because the legs are metal, critters cant crawl up them so I keep all my food on them and not in my Jeep. I am also a desert camper so there are no bears I need to worry about. Last thing, I have an assortment of clamps. Regular size pony clamps + smaller sizes. Lots of uses.

There are nearby fires but LaPine is still open, so if camping sold out someone might be able to find a spot just around the corner.

I bought a clamshell CVT Mt.Hood tent. The tent itself meets my needs, but the seal sucks. When the tent is closed, it fills up with water in the rain. Then you spend the life of the tent fighting mold and mildew. Don’t ever buy a Mt.Hood,,,

Thanks, I saw their brackets and was just looking at awnings on your tents and didn’t look at the brackets. I appreciate your responding and I’m super happy you made the decision to do this full-time. I sure hope it all works out. Maybe maybe will cross when I’m in Idaho I’ll buy you a coffee.

Love my Aspen Lite XL. Camped in negative 4 degrees had it 68 inside with the diesel heater. Comfortable, roomy, and love the blackout feature. Have to upzip in the morning to see if the sun is out. Great video, Will. Where do i get the roam tshirt? I love it.

Cool video, it pronounced baydee ❤

i have the inspired overland tent on my tacoma for over 1 year, love it, the only down side for me, i cant add solar panels on top.

I’ve got the Aspen Lite and am able to store my aeronaut blanket, sheets, and a rumpl blanket in there flat. Just have to use a mini vacuum to deflate the mattress in 10 seconds 👍 Also, don’t believe they allow for mounting crossbars to the tops of the Lites, only the regular Aspens. Let me know if I’m wrong!

Another great review I really appreciate it. Your review convince me to buy the Top Oak. I’ve used it a few times and love it. It is heavy, but tents like that are. I have a question, what mounting devices are you using to hang your awning off the side of your tent?

Does the rubicon come with a 3 inch lift kit stock? Does anyone know ?

Loved the comparison! I got the FSR and love it. A couple things to add to your review for the FSR: use a handheld vacuum pump to blow up / deflate the mattress 10 seconds, allows me to store the sleeping bag easily, the FSR comes with a cover which I just keep on full time, the FSR comes with the LED dimmable light, there are window vents above the window on both sides.

This is a pretty solid vid on the tents. I have the aspen lite xl and it’s a great tent. I am 5ft 8 and stand up in it when I want to get dressed. the light in the tent is nice. The mattress is great and I use a flex tail pump and it’s up in down really quick. I put 2 pillows 2 blankets and a fsr heated pad and can close it no problem. It also comes with an extra cover for extra protection. They are developing rack for the t tracks to mount stuff over the tent. Also fsr has amazing customer service. This is my 3rd roof top tent and it’s by far my favorite. Keep up the good work man. I enjoy your content. Btw the tent in mounted on my JTR with an Alu cab contour canopy.

A great comparison. I went with the Inspired Overland for two reasons, weight and price. Since I'm more of a fair weather short trip camper it was the best fit for me and my Subaru Forester Wilderness.

I use a 5-lb blackout $100 popup tent on my roof with just a thin folding platform and foam pad. Everything stows out of sight with no weight issues. Better than sleeping inside or on the ground and so it works for me like I’m breaking the rules. 😅😉

I’ve been watching a few of your videos lately because I’m thinking about getting a RTT for a road trip and they’ve been really helpful so far. Have you seen the Tentbox Go yet? It’s supposed to be 73lbs but it’s not out until a couple more weeks

Whoop Bang? Nobody wants a Whoop bang!

FSR I leave my mattress semi-inflated so I dont have to deflate it every single time and it closes just fine. So that works for me.

I am picking up my IO Carbon Fiber RTT next week…. Super excited

Great review, Will! This video will definitely help others decide which tent suits them best. As for storing bedding, many of our customers keep their sleeping bags in the tent without any trouble. Plus, we're launching a hybrid self-inflating air mattress in a few weeks. When deflated, you'll have even more room for extra bedding! We're also excited to introduce an aluminum rainfly pole holder that customers can upgrade to, ensuring the rainfly stays taut. Lastly, a cover will be available for both the standard and XL models, just like the one that comes standard with our Carbon Fiber tent.

I dig the aspen lite, its a nice tent no doubt about it. I personally have come to really enjoy the simplicity of my IO standard size tent, its all I ended up needing

Aspen lite>>

I discovered this channel while doing research for a roof top tent for my audi allroad. I really appreciated the high quality, informative review videos from this channel. Somehow you answered exactly the questions I had, it's like you reached into my brain.... Much gratitude sir!

Great review, very on point. I bought the Aspen Lite XL. I just use a little compact air compressor which can fill and suck out the air from the mattress. Also, the removable boot bags are nice, but they only mount to the front, as FSR did not add clip points to the sides. This is a PITA for me as I have a 270 awning that I love to use. I've already ordered 3/4" clips, and am getting some channel bolts to make my own add on points for the side. Also, the Aspen has internal lighting and the Inspired does not. Small, but significant difference.

Great review. The FSR fabric provides a lot of insulation if you zip it up tight and is very quiet to sleep in during wind storms compared to many other tents. I use a small $15 rechargeable air pump for my self inflating mattress. You can inflate and deflate a mattress in under 2 minutes with one and get more air out than you could by hand. The air pump will inflate and deflate a mattress several times on one charge and is about the size of a pack of cigarettes.

Honest review? yes. But I find it weird you never mentioned how light it is for ease of removal since a very large percentage remove it every time for fuel economy and being to tall to park in garage with it on. Also to add that weight has very little to do with fuel economy regarding RTT's. Here's some content for you, add one of those soft RTT's then do a fuel economy test. Follow that with remove the RTT and add the exact weight to the inside of the cabin in the form of weights or passenger then do a fuel economy test again.

Thank you for another honest review ! Helping me narrow down my options. Glad it is going well after the leap out of the office & into full time creation. Wished I could make it to expo pnw, maybe next year!

did y'all ever end up publishing this route somewhere? i'm looking to plan a trip quite similar to this & would love a jumping off point. thanks!

Is there any way to contact you directly

Feels like every off-roading/over-landing RUclipsr buys and sells a new/barely old vehicle every year or two. Not that I’m judging, my brother does the same thing with BMW’s. I guess if you get an uptick in engagement and views because of bringing a newer model year vehicle to the channel it may make some sense, and you don’t have to own the Jeep past it’s newlywed years, so someone else will have to deal with the eventual classic Jeep unreliability as it ages while you get a brand new truck.

Your gears will be fucked in 4x4. You need closer ratio...

I will stick to my ground tent. refuse to pay for overlanders content

Great video as usual. But the saying is “you can’t see the forest for the trees.” Meaning you can’t see the bigger picture because you are so focused on the details. Will be exciting to see what new rig you build next.

Wow!

All these points sold me on gear from Factor 55, but the biggest thing is that Justin is a 1st Amendment proponent. Many are trying to silence us in these days, but freedom comes through the Word. I will not be silent.

Was this route ever published?

Very well done 😂

Fantastic trail and video guys & great drones shots, were heading down in Sept Polaris RZR Pro R and a CanAm Maverick X3 and going to also swing over to Goblin Valley since its in the neighborhood, we just put "Behind The Reef" up VERY high on our list of trails I simply can't pass it up after seeing this video.
