Tembo tusk your the best uganda we love you Bigups to Mr Jerry
Alu-cab...Frontrunner...South-African made camping/overlanding gear are the best in the world!
What all has broken or started to see wear on your camper? For one, my gas struts holding the main roof have started to rust a bit, and my rear door tire mount is starting to rust as well
I had to replace the bed lift struts about 2 yrs, ago. And the side windoor lift struts about 1 year ago as well. That's really about it.
How’s the noise from the pump at night?
Sometimes you hear it if you focus on it but other times it's not noticed. The sound is noticeable though.
Looks nice… I will try this.. I learned a lot.. I was curious why you used a larger hose inside the jug? Thank you
Very impressive.Is that a front runner slimline roof rack, I would like the same, and do you loose much of its usage from the canopy overhang? Thanks in advance
Looks like Tembo is your affiliate...were you paid to give this review...or maybe got a free skottle?
We were not paid or given a skottle. thanks
How comfortable is the bed in the alucab? I had a cvt rtt a while back and it felt like sleeping on just a metal platform.
It's not too bad. we added a 2inch foam pad and it helps.
Probably the best tacoma 4x4 camper adventure wagon I've seen. Nice work man.
Thanks. it is always a work in progress.
What boxes are you using on the prinsu rack, and how did you mount them?
_The boxes are Rigiid boxes from Home Depot. They are through bolted to the prinsu rack. I hope this helps._
Looks Great!!
Thanks
Nice video
Thank you
Considering a canopy camper as well in Florida… how do you deal with the heat inside the camper? Does it feel pretty ventilated with the doors/windows open?
Very clever, looks good 👍🏿
How much do you weigh? My Gladiator is 7000 lbs
Great video, I'm going to order one!
Thanks very much. You will love it.
Just curious, where do you store it for travel? I have a Gladiator with the ACCC and storage is always at a premium and I have yet to find a good place where I can store it securely. I am often fishing or hunting out of my rig so I probably have a wee bit more gear when I hit the road than just the average camper.
I built benches in the camper and it fits in a bench.
I've driven a tacoma. Can yours really go uphill with all that stuff and weight. Or did you spend $10000 to supercharge it?😂
Having a similar weight setup, i can tell you, going uphill is no issue with the V6. I have it re-geared to 4.88, that is really key to a better driving experience with the Tacoma, but no complaints regarding it not being able to go up hill. No supercharger here, but i am planing on doing the overland torque tune. Also am running 33 inch wheel size.
Very disappointing the amount of rubbish that gets left behind, such Beautiful spots
Yes. I really hate it.
You see any pheasants in KS mark the spots 😂👍
Unfortunately we did not.
How u dong?,you shared top trip~ ;)
Can you elaborate on the diesel heater. Model, fuel storage and consumption, how big is the tank, and anything else you think that is relevant. Great video. Thanks!
I'll get that together and get back with you.
I love using “crawl control” 👍
Apparently Toyota has reduced the noises in the 2024 models.
Certainly gods country ❤
Agreed
I have been to Leadville and also ate high mountain pies. Good food and a neat town.
Suc beautiful country ❤️
Yes it is. Thanks Louis.
Thats where i live. Top of the world.. Lots trails. Lots to do here.
Nice build I’m really looking into getting one of these
Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you liked the build. It's definitely worth considering if you're looking for something similar.
Loving the journey ❤
Hey Louis. Thanks for sticking with us.
@@bigsouthoverland my pleasure 🙏
Cool video! Love following your Colorado journey
Awesome! Thank you!
New to your channel, very nice 🍻
Thanks very much.
Great video with your Alu-cab. What happened to your camper van?
We still have it but have decided to sell it...if you know anyone. The Tacoma is a better fit for us.
@@bigsouthoverland Thank you. Will do.
Love this
How did you vent the diesel heater?
I cut a hole in the floor of the bed and ran it out. I hope this helps.
As a fellow Alu-Cab Canopy owner, what's the trick to getting your Trasharoo mounted on your spare tire?
Just take your time. It's hard to do but if you follow the instructions and utilize the large velcro strap that rest on the top of the tire. I hope this helps.
I also have the same problem.
Good video. Check out the huerfeno river and Lilly lake nice trail great camping,,,,
Will Do.
Looks great, however, I have camped in Colorado since the 1980s and I have never stayed in a formal campground or even a FS campground where you had to pay, there is dispersed camping available all over Colorado.
Looks like fun!
Great video! Stay safe and have fun!!
Thank you! Will do!
Good trip, lov those tracks through forests, so beautiful and peaceful
Haha, I'm glad you had a "good trip" watching the video! Those tracks through forests can really transport you to another world, right?
Love your videos. I’m going to watch a second time because I apparently missed the Tacoma secrets.
Looks like a great trip.
Just found your channel and I'm really enjoying it.
Thanks. There is more coming from Colorado. Keep watching.
Really nice setup! I have a 2021 Tacoma TRD OR. Did you re-gear it, at all? How is the truck, holding up with the extra weight?
Thanks for watching. I did not regear but have plans to change the shifting patterns. The truck did not like the extra weight when fully loaded. I had Old Man Emu leafs but they couldn't take it and I recently upgraded to Deaver Heavy Duty packs...seems to be better. Time will tell.
@@bigsouthoverland Did you go with stage 2 or3?
@@Stranger451 Stage 3. I don't plan on removing the Alu-Cab.
Do you regret going stage 3 over 2? I have stage 2 on the way. That is what Deaver recommends.
@@Stranger451 I do not. It may be stiffer but the load capacity is better. With the Alu-Cab it's already close to carrying capacity and then once you add gear it gets heavier and most always carry more gear than needed so for us the Stage 3 works. I hope this helps.
Hey Sean & Sallie....don't know if you remember but we were literally next door neighbors at The Ranch for Overland Expo in Colorado.....I drove the GX and my buddy drove the LR with the trailer. Was quite a gathering of characters especially at that camp gathering and we certainly enjoyed having you guys as neighbors. Hope all is well and maybe we'll see something from the Expo here soon! Take Care!! Scot
Of course we remember ya'll. Sallie actually found a light on our table after you had left. That camp wasa great group of folks and we had a blast hanging with everyone. Expo footage is coming in next weeks video so keep watching. S
Awesome my friend.....looking forward to it!@@bigsouthoverland
Great video dude makes me want to get back out there! I was curious what song was playing in the beginning
Sweet Old Tennessee. Thanks for watching.
Howdy guys! Love seeing your adventures! Thanks for the hospitality at overland expo…good whiskey in a tin cup…yeehaw!😂❤
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.
Lov Forrest camping spots, don't know y people burn crap in their fires, lazy
Hey Louis, we don't get it ..
What chairs are those?
Klymit. We may be doing a review video on them soon. Keep checking back.
Absolutely WILD that they didnt fill in that gap. My canopy camper on my tacoma is incredibly sealed up, install wasnt cheap but i havent even thought about any gaps at all!
