Thule Tepui Autana 4 RTT
In this video i wanted to show how easy it is to set up the Tepui Autana 3+ person rooftop tent. I also included a timestamp to show how long it takes in real time without rushing or trying to get it set up as fast as possible.

Sequential Turn Signals
Переглядів 1162 роки тому
In this video I show you how to remove the stock chrome turn signals in your mirrors and replace them with the smoked black sequential lights. These are from Meso Customs but you can find them cheaper on amazon and other places. This is one of the most inexpensive upgrades you can do to your Toyota and make a pretty big difference. If you’re someone like me that doesn’t like chrome on my vehicl...

Bilstein 6112's
Переглядів 31 тис.3 роки тому
In this video I cover how I installed the Bilstein 6112 shocks and 600lb coils on my 2017 Toyota Tacoma. I ordered these Straight from Bilstein lifts and they didn’t come assembled. I had a local shop assemble them for me for about $50. This is not a step-by-step tutorial but more of a general install video. I wanted to attempt both methods of installation so I did the upper ball joint method o...

Best way to store RTT
Переглядів 16 тис.3 роки тому
This is the best option for my situation to store my rooftop tent in my garage while I'm not using it. Hopefully my video will help you in some way in storing your RTT. Comment with any questions. Thanks
Genius. Thx
I do the same thing, used lag bolts with eyelets screwed into the roof crossbeams instead of the 2x4 over the top but same exact idea!
Nice truck
Smart Yinzer!!!
What is the size of the eyebolt?
I wonder about the necessity/value of the driveshaft spacer. The reason being Toyota’s own warrantied and endorsed lift kit (tarted up 5100’s) give a 2/1 lift and they don’t bother with any of that.
You have the short bed Tacoma correct? I saw the rooftop tent is 72" closed but there doesnt appear to be much over hang. Thanks.
just out of curiosity.. can you use the lower setting on the strut and just replace the spring with one that's longer? wasnt bashing brother! just something i noticed! great share by the way! larry
Great job man!
Is this the autana or the kukenam?
Don't macks out the adjustable on those u will get better ride change your upper control arms makes a huge difference as well I put emu on mine
heads up the flag is supposed to hang the other way when vertical!
Hi, what ratchet straps did you use ie, what’s their lashing capacity?
I'm actually not sure. I recently upgraded the straps to longer ones for my new tent. I know they're pretty stout and probably overkill for what i need them to do.
How do you like the 6ft bed? I just past on one yesterday and bought the 5 ft.
I actually really like the 6ft for what I use my truck for. The 5ft bed is so small that I can't carry some longer items in and when camping I appreciate the extra space.
Hi sir, very bulletproof system. Just one question when you go down the rtt, with the strap ratchet system, thas doesn't drop all the way , it is easy to control ???? I m sur yes if you use this system....
Yeah it's actually not bad at all. The tent i have now is 160lbs and the one in this video is 96lbs. Even with my new tent its no issue lowering one side at a time.
One thing to be careful with the spacer is there is a chance to bottom out the shock before you bottom out the bump stop. Also, because these are extended length at full droop, adding the spacer up top makes the droop even lower so there is a chance of cv axle binding. I highly doubt this is aggressive enough if a spacer to do that. But something to keep in mind
Good job...no need to waste a ton of cash!
You should put some gas struts on the box
Thanks for the vid. Any tips on mounting recovery boards? The holes don't line up with my Xbull boards so thinking I am gonna have to rig together something.
Now that you've had some time do you still think the spacer was the way to do?
Yes I’m very happy with the lift level and ride quality
Do your deferential drop in the front as well to take the stress off of your cv axels
Yes I did
I know it is probably just as easy, but you should make a video showing lowering the RTT.
Ratchet straps work well and cinching down straps, lowering or loosening them is another story. I'm curious also as I'm in the process of DIYing a hoist system.
Great setup. Go Steelers!
simply brilliant
Man that cap looks killer!!
What size are your wheels n tires?
Awesome! What straps did you use? Where did you get them?
Is that a 3in lift
Off road will it run
Rub
It has to. I'm on 33" with +5 offset and 2" lift and I rub on the cab without off-roading
Awesome!
How is the ride?
Honestly it's a little bit rougher than stock when on pavement but off-road its way smoother.
I did the corn snake cut .
Nice video! Hope your enjoying the ride!
Are you gonna do a review on the whole setup?
Are these just rifle cases?
Must be nice to be able to drive into your garage with a RTT on your car
Would those eye screws hold weight? What kind of eye screws did you use specifically? Thx.
They are the heartiest ones I could find at the hardware store that weren’t . And stainless. Not sure exactly on the specs. I think around 6-8” long, 3/8-1/2in diameter, and no clue on the thread.
I added 1/2" spacers at the front where the flaring is ...spreads it out follow roof line better ...I cut the back bottom off and made it fit my access cab..it doeshang over the back a foot ...but I have a shell .....put fender edging on flaring at paint line ... 🚫...whislin ... Only draw backs are it's heavy ...n. Powder coat is crap in some spots ....great starting point and price ...
How do they feel off-road?! Compares to stock?
It’s really really nice. Highly recommend
Whats the max height you can get with these ? Also what size tires are you running?
About 2.25” after settling, you can fit 31”s with out cutting cab mount and rubbing issues, to fit 33”s you need uca, a true 3” lift after settling, can mount chop, pinch weld, fender cuts wheel well cuts
I have not done the CMC yet nor have I upgraded my UCA's and I don't have any tire rub. I'm currently running 33s and don't rub on or off road at all. That being said, there are more factors involved. The off-set of your wheel makes a big difference in wether or not you'll have to do a CMC or UCA upgrade.I did have to do some plastic trimming and eventually did a "viper cut" to create more space to avoid rub.
@@titirititiri6360 none of thats true
your flag is backwards, stars go top left
What did it settle at?
About 2.25” not enough for 33”s
@@titirititiri6360 yeah same here might have do some minor trimming
@@steelersx17 I’ve put 33’s on 2 Tacoma’s now, had to have true 3” lift after settling which bilstein cannot do, then cab mount chop and weld, pitch weld hammer, trim fenders, cut fender well then when you go 3” lift you need UCA, diff drop, then you need to raise the back by 1.5” so carrier bearing drop, front needle bearing. You can run 33”s with true 3” lift with out rubbing on flat ground, but if you do not do the above stated modifications, you will rub at full lock when suspension fully compressed every time.
Thanks for the info! I've got the same setup sitting here in boxes. I'm just waiting on my wheels to be in stock so I can order those. I was trying to decide on what notches to use, after watching this I think I'll do the same as you. How is the ride on notch 5?
It rides just about the same as stock now that everything has settled. It was a little stiff at first but not bad at all. Much much smoother off-road.
I thought bilstein said/recommend to adjust the driver side one ring up to accommodate for the weight.
Watch what he said in the beginning. He went with the spacer which is actually a more accurate way to fix the taco lean
@@ArcticAutoWerks I understand. But bilstein as well as multiple suspension companies I’ve talked to continue to recommend going a notch higher on the driver side more so to accommodate for the weight, not only height. It’s more about the compression of the springs and what it can handle being that one side of heavier. They do a better job at explaining then I do.
Excellent demonstration, showing both methods of replacing the front shocks. I will be doing the same in two weeks time. What is the tire size?
285 75 r16
They are 33s
Can you do a daily drive ride comparison video before and after upgrade.
I would but I don’t have a before video
Any whistling from the case when driving?
I can’t hear anything. I have wind noise from the roof rack but didn’t notice a difference at all after adding the box.
What’s measurement after settle? Just curious have same lift on my dclb with 265’s.
About 2.5 inch
genius! haven't had any issues with it so far?
No issue’s whatsoever.
Doesn’t need upper control arms? How’s the ride quality compared to stock?
I want to know too!
A lift 2.5" or higher requires aftermarket UCAs.
Depending on alignment numbers and how it drives varies truck to truck. I have same lift and I got UCA’s to help get alignment dialed in Just my 2cents
I have not upgraded the UCAs yet and haven't noticed anything that would indicate that I need to do so. That being said I would like to upgrade them at some point to increase articulation and help with ride quality on road. Its rougher on road slightly and way smoother off road, which is what I was after.
