I have the Inspired XL. I mounted it by removing the stock square bar. Accessing the cross bar by removing the bottom corner border self tapping screws. And secured it on my low profile rhino rack with the included hardware… Helped reduce the profile and access …. I really enjoyed this tent. Thanks for the vid
Great wiring job!!! Question though...... how did you run the wires from one side of the roof rack to the other sides? Because of the round shape of the SRM500 rack, there doesn't see like there would be a good place to hide or tuck in the wires around the frame. Or am I wrong? I'd love to see or hear how you did it
Thanks for watching! For now I just zip tied the wires around the tube and pushed it to the inside part of it. Ive been wanting to 3D print some wire holding brackets that snap into the t slots to clean things up. If I do that, I’ll post something about it!
I was thinking of getting gazzlle tent and for winter camping put a light bed sheet over the top covering the screen the. Put rain fly on
It could work but it might retain to much moisture. I’m thinking a tarp might work a bit better
Ironic that the 4runner rear axle (which is solid) is the one that comes off the ground. lol
I usually don’t stay entertained by overland content, but this video rocked dude. Your value is way under appreciated by UA-cam
Thanks man! Hopefully we can’t hit up some trails soon! 😎
Way back in 1969 a friend discovered his VW square back worked that way - quick easy dry and no bear problems.
That’s true! Didn’t even consider the bear protection. Thanks for watching!
Does the rear door zip open from the top or bottom? Is the rear canopy also the door? You demonstrated side doors but not the back. It looks like no way to have good ventilation in a rain storm!
I have a 02 best little suv I’ve owned
Do you know the weight capacity of the rack with rain gutter mounts? Also, after a year have you had any leaks? I am concerned about drilling holes because I sleep in the Jeep.
I think the rain gutter mounts support a bit over 200lbs (90kg) static load. I thought I saw it at one point but I can’t find it at the moment. I have had no leaks after a few years of running this rack and I’ve had it in PNW rainy weather as well as Southwestern monsoons. I did add a generous amount of Permatex around the holes I drilled and I’m sure that has helped. Thanks for watching!
Was laughing at that intro! It’s carbon fiber, meant to go fast 😂
Bro I have made 4” thick in wich you can 1inch things. Just watch out my RTT 2.0
I'm in China, got this tent OEM from the factory for about 1.5k USD, the cover is a ballache but the carbon fibre doesn't like sunlight so I threw on a UV protection sticker... Its pretty great, but likewise worried about drainage... I got this for a 4 week trip to Western China desert at end of month, so not likely to see rain on this trip...
Thats smart! Would you happen to have a link to the sticker you used? That’s awesome that you were able to pick it up from the factory for a great price!
@@520overland I just used a 3M based car sticker, same company I used for my car...
Different vehicles for different types of off roading. I have a 4Runner and would never do crazy rock crawling in it. I also wouldn’t do a 5 day overlanding trip in a Wrangler
Was up there last week 8/9/24. Road is impassable due to rockslide on the rear side of where the truck was parked. Looks like FS is working their way upwards to clear the road. Great footage and I'll tell you that water is still cold!
Thanks for the trail update and thanks for watching! That truck was up there forever
hey bro is this 75 or 65inch? and does it comes with the drilling mounting system if you buy this online?
I got the 65in version. Unfortunately the rack and drilling mounting kit have to be ordered separately. I looked around and couldn’t find a combo kit
@@520overland thank your for replying on this. are able to remove the platform during winter?
@@francischiong1831 yup! The removal process is pretty easy (just 8 bolts). You’ll still have the supports though that you can remove as well but then you would need to plug the holes in your hard top
@@520overland good to know thanks for info. looking online to see how will they attach the rtt on it. its looks like challenging because of the gap between rack and hardtop.
It’s a huge pain but doable if you have 18 or longer ratchet and a bit of patience. I think I will put together a video on my process!
YES YES YES
I am sold lol😅
I liked the video; we are currently driving Iceland to Australia in a Lexus RX350 SUV @twoheadnorth thanks Zahra & Paul
That sounds like an epic adventure! Just subscribed and look forward to following the trip!
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Does it come with mosquito netting?
It does! Has some mesh netting and then the outermost layer is rain proof
What camp site is this??? Awesome view!
Found it by chance on the northern side of Mt Rainier just outside the National Park Boundary. Thanks for watching!
What awning is that you have? It’s sweet! Never seen one that small that goes all the way around
I’m rocking the OVS 270LTE. Here’s a more indepth review I did on it ua-cam.com/video/XjskF6SwSFo/v-deo.htmlsi=p8182GJkfGaYo1xc
It’s like comparing oranges to apples, both are fruits and both are edible. I think it would be fair to compare an entirely stock vehicles vs vehicles with modifications such as lift kits, spacers and larger tires. I own a Jeep Rubicon and for over landing it’s just as fine as a 4Runner (to me) I drove both and didn’t notice that much difference, now, ability to somewhat easily modify my vehicles and a huge aftermarket is a winning factor for me with the Jeep. I mean if you want your Jeep faster and quieter on a highway, don’t put 35’ or 37’ on, especially for overland driving it’s pointless and purely for looks.
I just bought a 2001 CRV and it has the table that folds out and the seats that turn into a bed. Truly amazing 😊
Yeah. It’s one of my favorite all time vehicles! So many good features to them!

Тот случай когда машину делали инженеры

Jeep wrangler is better off-roader better at performer on the trails , but the 4 runner overall is more dependable
Don’t they have a timing belt
Yup! My bad if I misspoke! Timing belt that should be replaced every 100k miles
I LOVED my '01, I have an '06 now
I've had a Tacoma, a 4Runner, and a Jeep. Toyota's are great, but if you plan to build up an off-road capable machine, you can't really touch a Jeep. A Rubicon will fit up to a 39-inch tire with a small lift. If you want to go 40 plus you should upgrade the axles. I still have a Land Crusier, and it can do a lot, but for serious off-roading, it's the Jeep. Before you say Toyota's are more reliable, the truth is that a Toyota in more extreme off-road breaks far more. Unfortunately, we can't get the more serious 70 series Land Cruiser here like Australia. Those would be at the top of my list...
Thanks for sharing!
Any range lost keeping the antenna inside? Just curious. I love the idea of being as stealthy as possible.
Not that I have noticed! I think I could benefit from having it up higher but I’ve been able to talk to people 4 miles out in thick woods and mountains
In Siberia, this is one of the most popular cars and we all drive on the right hand wheel, as we bring these cars from Japan from Vladivostok.
Ditch lights?
You explained it correctly,....but in reverse 🤣.
You do know there is a SECOND set of auxiliary switch wire connectors under the passenger side dashboard?
Yup! Thanks for the tip! I’m planning on running a switch panel in the future but if I wasn’t then that would definitely be the move
Nice review. Have you reached out to IO about possible ways to repair the hole? I got my IO rtt hung up in a parking structure.
Oh man, sorry about your tent. I have not contacted them though I may now out of curiosity. The patch done on this by the previous owner and the patch I did held up really well. I used a 3M Leather and Vinyl Repair kit I found at Walmart. www.walmart.com/ip/19864141
Which roof rack are you running? Thanks for the great content, very informational. How is it holding up 11 months later?? thanks.
It’s the GoRhino SRM 500 65inon their SRM roll case mount kit. They also have a rain gutter mounting kit. It’s holding up great!! Planning on doing a long term review soon! Thanks for watching!
All the modding you have to do on it to make it anywhere near a jeep would bring it up in price pretty quick. But that said.. It's still likely cheaper over all but a lot more work. You really need to appreciate that 90s vaporwave look if you want to invest the time into it. I personally think these look sick.
Well said! It all really depends on what you want to do with it. The forest road system in the US is massive and you could probably cover a large percentage of it in a CRV or any other cross over. However you’ll probably need to replace your suspension at lot sooner. If you want to get into rocks, deeper snow or loose sand than you might be asking to much of one of these. Thanks for watching!
Is that camp location in Colorado? Amazing view
Thank you! It’s in Washington State! The mountain in the background is Rainier though I’m really hoping I get to check out Colorado this year! Thanks for watching!
A rubicon is designed for crawling up slowly. Trd pro is Baja. You need to compare rubicon to the trail hunter trim or jeep Mojave to trd pro
Would love to get my hands on a trail hunter! They both definitely have their specialties. Thanks for watching!
What a great overview. I am not into RTT's but I want this one 😅
It’s definitely on the lower end of the RTT price range so definitely a good place to start! The other thing is they seem to sell pretty quick second hand if you do want to try it out and upgrade later. It took me about a week or two to sell mine (only sold because I’m upgrading to the new carbon fiber version)
You need xxl bro
Honestly though, I wish that was a thing!
I’ve had both a gen 1 and now a gen 2 CRV honestly one of the most practical cars I’ve ever owned and as long as the salt don’t get to them in the winters we get here it should last me a long time I hope
Which gen do you like more?
@@mvndoc I’d probably say the first gen but honestly I like both the 1st and 2nd gen’s probably equally to be honest haha
I would love a 1st gen CRV with the 2nd gen’s power train!
I have the Gen 2 and I love it! They will last forever if maintained
do they make that bumper for first gen sequoias?
Unfortunately I don’t think so. However, I’ve heard that the 1st gen tundra ARB bumper can fit on a Sequoia with some modification. I also would recommend checking out Coastal Off-road. They make something that looks similar!
@@520overland much appreciated
Looks like I'm grabbing my wife's hairdryer
