Naturenest Clamshell Tent Overview + Q&A
So far so good! I can't really say that I have anything to complain about with my Naturenest tent. I had a bunch of questions so I figured I'd try to rope them all into one video.

AP2 Honda S2000 Fog Lights

Available at CasselCo.com Until now there wasn't an attractive option to add fog lights to the AP2 Honda S2000.

Honda S2000 Headlight Swap!
มุมมอง 1.5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
It was long overdue but I finally got around to changing the headlights in my S2000! The output on these lights aren't quite as good as the factory projectors so I'll probably wind up retrofitting them later on down the road but they'll work for now and the car looks great again! I wouldn't recommend the LED high beam bulbs I used, they're pretty much completely useless in these housings. Links...
Cheap Seadek Alternative Update
มุมมอง 1.7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
We took the old J14 out on the Suwannee today and I decided to give you guys a quick update on how the cheap Seadek alternative is holding up! All in all I'm still really happy with how it turned out, there are a couple of seams that show a little more than I would have liked but it's probably more of an install error than fault of the product. Let me know if you have any questions! Items used:...

Today during Chevy's Truck Talk they gave a sneak peek at the upcoming Silverado ZR2 Bison! This is some really exciting news that we've been anticipating for some time.

I only hope that GM will include the...
Igloo Cooler Seat Install | Carolina Skiff J14

Today I worked on getting our old J14 ready for this boating season. When I was restoring my old skiff I had pulled out the old fiberglass bench because it had seen better days and I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone by using an inexpensive Igloo cooler as a bench seat and a cheap set of tie downs from amazon.

That's a neat idea. I was really disappointed when I got my gm bowtie and it was as dim as it is.
Mine came with two extra as well
Great info! Can we get an update on how this awning is doing?
I've had it off the truck over the summer but will be putting it back on for the winter camping season in Florida. I did make brackets for it to stick it on my golf cart over the summer and have used it a ton and have had zero issues. Definitely worth the buy.
Great work! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
What size is the angle iron that you bolted the bearings to?
Can you explain how you connected the LED wires? I used the harness that plugs into the headlights, but I've had mine less than a year and it's already out😭, so I want to do something similar.
The strips that I epoxied into the back had pigtails on them so I wired them into the harness that came with the glowtie
Hi friend, I did exactly this and the third light does indeed turn on in reverse, but it doesn't work when I unlock with the remote. Do you know why that could be???
Hey man, what did you use to repaint it? My grandpas that I’m fixing up has been sitting up year around for 15 years not covered. Could you tell me the exact paint you used?
I used rustoleum top coat and bottom paint from lowes. Cheap and works really well.
What length is your bed?
It's a short bed truck
what's the dimension when its closed?
did it came with a ladder?
Yeah
4 months later lol how is it holding up? Any issues yet?
I took it off over the summer, it gets hot in Florida lol. Planning on putting it back on for winter camping soon
Will it fit into a 2023 Colorado?
I've seen similar tents on Colorados.
Thanks! I was looking at retrofit kits and I didn't know where to start. Very informative and straight to the details.
Thank you for the review! Just bought one. What is the awning you have there like, what brand?😊
Sorry just saw your comment, it's a Rough Country 270 awning and its been great. No issues with it.
Thank you for the review, I ordered this on Amazon and I can’t wait to use it! I noticed that multiple listings with the same brand has different weights on them Can you tell me how much was the actual weight on this thing? Or was it on the manual? If not, no worries. I’ll find out when it ships.
do you dont see color coming out the foam every time is wet ? i install the same and every time i goat boating is a nightmare red color from it, is everywhere bags cloth and all over the boat i hate it men trying to figure it out if you experience the same problem
I do not believe the 2.36 option is still available on Amazon. Are there any alternatives? Really interested in buying the pods and fog lights.
Sorry just saw this comment havent been on here in a while. I just pulled it back up and they're on there, looks like they removed the other option.
Put them inside up top by your windows or outside on the awning ☺️
하늘도 깨끗하고 보트도 멋지네요
What's the update a year later?
Can you fit to adults (5.5ft tall) and a 8 year old in the tent? Thanks
Yes, easy.
Great job
Just a tip for people watching who plan to do the same. It’s not recommended to try to seam pieces, you’re better off leaving a 1/2” gap. Like the bow pieces would be fine with the gap and would look better with a gap around the edges and ruler
How can you swim in that nasty water
Its the Suwannee River, there's a ton of fresh water springs that feed it so it's hardly nasty. I'm assuming you mean because it's brown?
Great review! Thinking of getting one but curious about the "platform" is it like a 1" thick honeycomb floor? Or just a piece of plexiglass type floor? Worried about it not feeling stable when crawling around inside
Hey Derrick this hack doesn’t scratch your paint?
Does this awning have the little pole popups on the bracket arms for water run off?
Turned out very nice I just didn’t catch if you said what the material is called. Besides knock off sea deck.
Sorry just saw your comment, its EVA foam. There's a link in the description to the stuff I used from Amazon.
Hi . Excellent work, what size projector did you use?
Sorry just saw your comment. These were 3" biled gen 4 nhk projectors
What size tires are you running?
sorry just saw your comment. There were 35x11.50s on a 2" level. I have 35x12.50s and Method wheels now.
Guy's he did a great job laying that down. Sadly he will be pealing it back up right about now a year later. This stuff falls apart fast dyes tree un you need extra adhesive and boy is it fun trying to get the adhesives back off. Buy the expensive stuff it's worth it in the end for the amount of prep and labor you have to do.
As of now there is a corner on the deck that has pulled up a little but its still 95% good to go. The worst part is that it looks like it shrunk a little so the seams are showing a little more.
Do you remember which amazon company sold this?
Sorry just saw your comment, theres a link in the description to it. The brand is Naturenest but there was a couple different people selling them on there.
Will this work for the 2007-2013 models?
I was wondering the same thing. and what size diode
I keep hearing horror stories that these knock off products don’t hold up well it real life use. How has it worked out for you after a year of use?
Sorry just saw your comment havent been on here in a while. One corner on the deck has peeled up a little but it's still mostly holding strong..
how many 94" by 35 " roles did you use I notice the kits about 1600 bucs i assume you're around 200 bucs be interested to know though
😅😂 i was thinking about doing this thanks buddy your awesome brother
Go for it man aint nothing to it lol
Is this will fit 2 adult and a 6 year old? Tnx
How is it a year later?
Still holding up okay, the seams are showing a little more and part of the deck did peel up a little but a little of adhesive and it was an easy fix.
This is my kind of video. I’m pretty handy with projects and take similar approaches, just kind of get into it.
Yeah man, sometimes I gotta just work through things.
What would be a fix to the loose liner?
Not sure honestly, I haven't tried to address it as it hasn't become a big problem yet, fingers crossed.
What size mattress is in it
Sorry just saw your comment, I have another video that shows the inside and I measured it, can't remember what it was off hand.
Were you able to weight it?
I wasn't, according to the product listing it's 195 lbs but that probably includes the shipping materials if I had to guess.
Hey what is the part number to the bowtie u have?. I'm looking for one as well.. thanks
amzn.to/3VovF1g this is the one I used
Ratchet strap
And also have u tried it in the rain?
Yes, two nights it wound up raining really hard most of the night and we didnt have any issues with water getting in.
How is this tent doing so far? I’m really thinking of getting one
Sorry just saw your comment. So far so good I'm super happy with it for the price.
Looks nice on your truck. Thanks for taking the time to make and post
No problem 👍
I installed one years ago on my truck and it just lost its spark. 😩 and now it's completely off.
Well this thing is still going strong and way brighter than it was to start with.
@solamente.yo.1 how long did yours last before it went out? I just ordered one:/
About 5-6 years. So it's still on, but very dim. Just sucks bc you would think it would last longer bc it's so damn expensive and you can't even change a bulb on it. 😒🥺😭 @209Stretch
Damn that sucks. I thought about that before I bought mine but it looks so cool I couldn’t help it.
Saaame! I've had mine for less than a year and it's already out.😭 Mine was def not free. Super frustrating😤
Wouldn't be surprise if the Ikamper manufacturer is making these on the side
I've never seen an iKamper up close but I can't imagine they could be THAT much better. This thing is solid.
