A hard shell is pretty damn desirable.

I don't camp often, and the wife LOVES lots of space, so a giant fold out soft shell works perfectly for me, for now.

I'm interested in seeing if any outfits rent rooftop tents so I can try one out atop my 4Runner.

There are definitely pros and cons to RTT's... and there are a decent amount of cons (significant weight on the roof, having to break camp to move the vehicle, roof clearance, etc.).

I think for a 4runner, or any SUV, I'd be more interested in a hard shell RTT style, like a Roof Nest, James Baroud, or GFC, instead of a fold out tent style. They're slimmer and also quicker to setup. Not sure if they're any lighter, though.

Thanks Freeride!

I have heard of people renting out their personal RTT's, and I would gladly rent you mine if you were closer.

4Runner looks great!

Got my #glamping on a couple of weeks ago as well.

Oh wow that thing is pretty - and that looks fun. My good friend has one just like yours with a 6-speed manual. I'm interested in seeing if any outfits rent rooftop tents so I can try one out atop my 4Runner.



Also, here are some semi recent pics of the Yota (few months ago).

Im going to build a tube rear here soonish, From my experience with the Rack its all about having a welder that can do the size steel you are using. My flux core didn't really have good amp settings and would lay caterpillars or melt through.

[kickinindian]

any of you guys made your own bumper? ive been thinking of grabbing some dom and building one as a welder project since i have not done much since high school did you follow a template?

Now just to find a Toyota Front Axle...

Ya boy also needs a Miller Mig, fuck this flux core crap lmao

Both my CV's clink whenever i brake or take off but they haven't gone yet. Don't feel like wasting money on more half shafts since SAS will probably happen this summer.

Just driving the E30 now instead with winter tires on it, twice the mpg, and a fuck load faster and more comfy.

[kickinindian]

That picture is before I got new tires those were 285/70/17,

I'm planning on picking up UCAs already, and the other half shaft as well.

It is mostly going to be a DD family truck but i might just be paranoid because I had the truck 4 days and the first time out the CV blows out lol so I'm paranoid and looking at rcv axles [emoji14] but I'm hoping it was just a fluke wear related thing.

Edit to add pic with 255/75/17
