@@lizkatari I didn't test the air down process. I don't expect that either would have an advantage, but worth testing... As a note, during the air up process, the internal pressure is virtually equal between the two sizes. Only like 1 or 2 psi difference.

@ Interesting on the 1-2 psi difference. I would have thought it would have been more like 4-5 or up to 10 psi difference. If they air down at the same rate then I would think it’s the valves in the tires air valve

@lizkatari ya, the so minor difference in manifold pressure was one of the reasons I was so surprised by the result and tested many more times to verify.

@@nicholew8489 very true...

@@boondocksoverlandandoutdoors ya just gotta pick the right line... 😁

That Colorado zr2 made ot look easy. I love my 2024 Colorado zr2. Mine is in the harvest bronze metallic color rolling on 34.1" tall tires.

@@TimeMariner 😁 Ya, they took a bit of a beating at that spot.

@@melski986 thank you for watching! I love my FJ, it's like a cheat code...

​@@EverymanOverlanddoes the FJ have both from and rear locking differentials? I havw always liked them. Might try finding a good used one in the future to go with my 2024 Colorado zr2. Most definitely need to drive down from northeastern tennessee to go off roading at Uwharrie.

@harolddenton6031 my FJ has the factory rest locker, and the center diff locks, but not the front. I'd like to have a selectable locker in the front, but that's money I don't really have, or haven't wanted to spend. 08 and up, you can run the rear locker and A-Trac at the same time, and that's close to having a front locker. My 07 you can only run one or the other, though they're is a "cut this wire" mod to show them both to be on at the same time. I may do that at some point.

@@jonathadius that GX is way too sexy to let it fall over...

@@JAYKOSTRANSPORTLLC this is the one I decided to keep between the two. My San hima is now for sale. The San hima has more room, more windows and a better light, the wildfinder has a rain fly. Beyond that, they're extremely similar. Equal in quality, you just have to decide if you want the rain fly or more room. I prefer the shoe bag on the San hima too...

@@DaddyBusAdventures ya, I think Brandon in his GX was much closer to falling over than I was in the FJ, but either one will get your attention! The guy in the white jeep is Brian, and I'm not sure why he had such trouble with that obstacle. Just the prefect combination of height, wheelbase and not very aggressive tires and it gave him fits. The yellow jeep... Ya I dunno. I don't think he knew what he was hung up on. He needed a spotter helping him out.

@@tylorparks3781 ya, no idea who that guy was, my camera was just running on a tripod... But ooohhh... That poor front axle... He just kept going right back to the same spot again and again... He needed a spotter helping him through.

@@redbeastadventures no hazard pay needed. Helping your boys is part of the adventure! We'll keep trying, we will catch up on the trail one of these days!

@@markspinner7220 I'm pretty happy I didn't roll over too! And Brandon in the lexus... Ya, I am going to stay in 33s until I can't go they places my friends go. So long as I'm still showing the way... No sense going up to 35s and just breaking more things.

@@sand_ford_n_sun thank you for watching, and I'm glad the algorithm did us both a solid... 😁

@@aperson1181 this one is orange. The price on this one is also attractive. It's not half the money, but saving money is saving money. I have a discount code for morrflate, I don't for this one, so they end up very similar in price. What color do you like? 😉

@@aperson1181 ya, it was a good deal but it didn't last long. I guess they couldn't make money at that point...

@@mtnmnchronicles thank you for watching, we had a great time!

@@mtnmnchronicles is a great tent. I was seriously impressed, especially at thay money.

@@danburch9989 being 3 years old... I don't even remember why you would be quoting pressure switched, but good looking out either way... 😁. I have since moved on through a few compressors and inflation systems. I think at one point, and likely what you're referencing, I had considered on board air. Never did pursue that. Not a real high priority I guess.

@@EverymanOverland I made the comment for the benefit of others like me who've seen your video for the first time.

@@NateBoyce1789 ill be testing with a CO2 tank soon, and a few other ideas. The apex valves wouldn't make any difference as they use standard valve cores, but I would like to try the oversized valves that require you redrill your wheels. I think that would see a difference... I've also thought running dual valve stems in each wheel could help, but again, custom drilling I'm not looking to pay for... If I were on 40s it might be worth it, but on 33s, this all happens fast enough..

@EverymanOverland Sweet!! I've subscribed and notifications on so I can see that update. I have a 2024 Raptor(had a 2018 Raptor) and I used your video to build my inflate/deflate system. With a CO2 tank(ran at 175psi on regulator) on my 35's on that truck, it took less the 2 mins to fill up all 4 from 30psi to 50psi(i ran Wildpeak AT3W and they rode much smoother at 50psi)...I had AlphaEquipt Command wheels and they had dual valvestems and I had Apex Performance valves in one of those spots. Apex also has some end caps that screw on and it pushes the valvestem in and out of the way, however it's an open system and makes dang near impossible to use on the 4 wheel system. I hadn't seen or heard about the bigger valvestems/cores that need drilling, but that sounds interesting.

@@xpvibe thank you for watching... I think you're on track with the velocity at the valve core. I'll be testing again soon with a few different ideas including a CO2 tank.

@@JAYKOSTRANSPORTLLC it's an ARB roof basket, likely installed as a dealer option, that used to have a full perimeter raised "wall" that I cut down to allow tents on it. I can't post pictures in here that I'm aware of, but if you look at my very first videos, you can see it still intact. If I cut the rest off, that front piece, the tent would fit better, but I really like the way the front of the rack looks, so I just couldn't bring myself to cut it off...

@@HectorjMaldonado thank you for watching, and I'm glad to help. I'm really amazed at the level of quality you can get these days at this price point.

Thank you for watching, and have an amazing trip!! I think it's still fairly dry out there, so not really a risk of drowning the truck. I love that place, I'm sure you will too.

@@carlos220026 it is. Just not the result I expected.

@@jayko23 wow! I haven't seen that one, I'll have a look!

@@redbeastadventures the cove is my favorite place to wheel. I loooove it there.

@@EverymanOverland Definitely a few tight spots to squeeze through in the Red Beast.

@@redbeastadventures ya. East coast wheeling and shipping container sized trucks... Rough.

@@EverymanOverland Makes it a little more challenging.

@@matthewogo6855 the silver FJ is on 33x12.50x17. The bags you see are garbage bags. You keep a plastic garbage bag in there and it makes containing your trash much easier.

I have seen the Topoak... Headline differences between them are the Topoak has the kick-out at the back, but sacrifices the rain fly over the large side windows. And the Topoak is $600 more expensive by the time it reaches your door. I will take the rain fly over the kick-out any day, and spend that $600 on an air mattress, diesel heater and $300 of fuel to take you anywhere you wanna go.

We bought the NatureNest last year, which is almost identical to this one. Same rain fly which was one of the key selling points for us, but no secondary vent window over the back. It appears to be just a bit wider than this, so our foam air mattress does fit just right. Ended up getting ours for free as there was shipping damage that dented the top shell. Super happy with it even if we had to pay the 1400.

@@stevenbrown2039 you'll never ever ever look back. I had both the standard and xl smittybilt tents. This is so much nicer, faster, holds more, smaller when collapsed... Not as much volume inside when it's set up, but I just use my tents to sleep so it doesn't bother me. You'll love it.

@@redbeastadventures I do too... I have one, the San hima hotham. But it's 40 percent more expensive. It's nice, I totally expected to like it more than this one. But I don't. It's a close match. I think I'm about 60/40 in favor of the wildfinder, and it's 400 bucks less. So they're both sent to me for free, money is nothing between them, and I'm going to keep this one.

Very thorough. Great Job. My heyfun rtt i just slept in for 1st time last weekend is Exactly the same as this one and I'm pretty impressed with it. Weird mine has an extra black felt pad on floor and came with an extra rainfly. Both great deals!!!!!

@@deepbludude4697 just gotta make sure it's rolling on the correct way, tight as you can in the first layer. Then use the weight of the vehicle to spool it the rest of the way in.

@@breadfanornofan1148 nah dood... In my opinion the 6'6" rules you out. You're too long for wedge style tents. I'm 6'3" 330ish and it's pretty much a 1 person affair with me in there. Get, or lay on a full size air mattress. That's all the room you have in there. And your feet are down at the narrow end of the wedge getting trapped. It's not about the weight, though you should be sure your roof rack can support 800+lbs. Look into the clamshell style tents like the ikamper sky camp. There's far less expensive versions than ikamper, but that style is what you'll want. You'll have the room to be comfortable.

@ i absolutely appreciate that info!!!

@ so would something like a Roofnest pop up be a good option? Im looking to use my tailgate as a possible step instead of a ladder

@breadfanornofan1148 the roof nest pop up will have the same problem that it has a fixed floor dimension. You're going to want something that folds, so the floor dimensions increase when it's opened. If you're looking at roof nest, the condor is what you'll want. Or the ikamper sky camp, tuff stuff Overland alpha... I'm sure there's more. Even the smittybilt Overlander soft shell. Soft shells are a bit of a pain to set up and tear down, but they're big inside. As to using your tailgate instead of a ladder, I don't understand why you would do that, but... I'd have to look at the setup you have to figure out if you could make it work. My initial thought is you couldn't.

@ looks like the Sparrow 2 has a decent amount of length. I'm going to take a stab at it and see if it'll work. Thankfully both roofnest and amazon have amazing return policies. The reason I want to try and use my tailgate is that I had a back injury awhile back so Ive been trying to find a decent tent with a rear entry. It's going on a 2017 Tundra with a 12in bed rack so it's not too high up from the tailgate. I also hate ladders so for me a step stool on the tailgate may be better for me. I really appreciate your insight and I'll keep you updated when I get it. May even do a review!

@@Chicanoverland no. It learns every power cycle. But it only costs you a few seconds. Not a big deal.

@@JohnDoe-mf5db I would think it would be very useful for that. It carries a fairly intense beam at a considerable distance, allowing you to see farther in unexplored areas.

@@mhviper1987 thank you! The ten six pro controls airing up, this will control airing up and down. If you already have a pro, and don't have another use for this like shop air, or a power tank, or whatever... I'd save the money and get some screw on type deflators. If you dint have a pro, you could get the regular ten six and this to control up and down...

@@dwaynewelch7835 isn't wrong. This was our first trip up there, and we totally should have grabbed camping on the 105.the next time we are up there that's for sure what we will do.

@ check out Craig’s Creek also if you like camping on the water

@@caseyhubble1118 yes the factory harness has an inline fuse. I didn't use that harness as I have a switch panel.

Thanks for the info!

@@kmg501 as a long time driver, I'm familiar. These are fairly useless for a passenger car doing mall car things. They are nice however for airing down and back up on the trail. Adding a couple pounds isn't what this is for. It's for taking all 4 at the same time from 12psi to 36 psi, or whatever pressures you choose.

@@EverymanOverland Thanks for the reply. I'm curious, have you heard of anyone using such a device in a rally or competition of any kind? I only ask because that is the only thing I can come up with that might justify these. I suppose I am taking a harsh view but the practicality just isn't meshing with me. Anyway, please don't take offense at any of this, offense is not intended.

@kmg501 no I haven't heard of them used in racing. I think I'm that environment tenths of a psi can make a difference. You really need to get a Guage on each tire in that world. I take zero offense from your comments. These systems, the 4 tire inflation systems and methods for controlling the pressure only make things easier. It's nice when airing up at the end of the trail to be able to do other things. Chat with your friends, make lunch, pack the truck... Whatever. But this is airing up oversize off road tires, not standard size passenger car tires. When I first saw these inflation systems, I though they were dumb. Then I used one. It changed my mind. Necessary? No. Not at all. But nice.

@@EverymanOverland Understood, well if these float someone's boat, that is good enough I suppose. Cheers.

@kmg501 cheers to you. Stay safe driver.

@@JamesSmith-SC thank you! I hope you like it as much as I do...

@@kenbo80 possibly more clutter, but in the truck somewhere. And it's not small. It's pretty useful, I like it, but yes it comes with a clutter penalty for sure.

@@stephbarbershop2518 for sure this is nice to have, but not required at all. I like it, it makes storing up and down easier. But if money is tight, or you're building up your kit, this wouldn't be my first choice. But if you've got your recovery gear, and 225 bucks isn't a big deal... It's nice to have.

@@tatetolson383 new gear is always happiness!
