We do our best!

True, we ordered one of the screw-on lids when we first started van travel, thinking that we would use it when we were in transit. Turned out that we always just tied the bag off inside the bucket and put the toilet seat back on. Definitely like the look and design of the trelino better than the bucket!

I've seen people carry stranger things into the woods...🤣

Squatting over the hole is never the most fun. That sounds like a good solution. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! We aim to share information that folks may find useful.

Sounds like a good opportunity! Although.......in all honesty......I don't know how hard they are to come by these days. Thanks for watching!

Gardenias takes credit cards and probably US dollars, but everywhere else will require pesos. You usually get a better deal if you pay in pesos.

@@DrifterJourney Thank you! Did you exchange the currency at airport?

I'm pretty sure there are currency exchange places at the airport, but the exchange rate will probably terrible. We've ways exchanged money at our hotel (they follow daily exchange rates), or in the case of when we were traveling in a van, we used our Charles schawb debit card to get cash at ATMs which doesn't charge international fees and refunds all ATM fees. Hope that helps!

@@DrifterJourney Helps alot! Thank you very much.

Gracias!

Thank you for watching. We're glad that you liked the review. We appreciate the comment. It helps more people find our videos.

I may have forgot to mention it in a newer video. They finally located a new radiator and got it put in. It seems to have fixed it so far.

It's a popular place and we know we're the minority for not really liking it - but the best part of Baja is that there's something for everyone! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! We were hoping to keep the suspension stock because we really like it (and paid for the ZR2 upgrade for the good stuff). It handles fine and is within the payload but we notice we sag a bit in the rear when we're fully loaded. We've been looking at the expedition leaf pack for the rear to even us out a bit and hopefully bring it back to the stock feeling of when there wasn't a camper on. It's not a rush for us so we'll see when we make it happen. Possibly before our next long Baja trip.

We regretted not bringing our fly rods with us as soon as we arrived. We weren't planning on camping near the water originally. As for the ladies, they are capable fisher people. Both Jess and Shannon are known to spear a fish or 2 in Mexico!

1st time watching your channel. Sorry if a little rude. Nothing better than camping in Colorado next to a river!

​@NoCoSilver no worries. Rude comments seem to he the norm on the internet. Hope you find some of our videos enjoyable.

Thanks for watching! We don't often name the campsites we visit directly. We do have a camp map (that is growing very slowly) on our Patreon for a small fee to help keep these places a little less crowded. It also helps support the channel.

Thanks for sharing! We got it dialed in with our Bluetti and everything seems to be working good so far. We have another fun trip coming up to continue testing our setup.

Very true! The Tune looks great on every rig I've seen them on so far.

Thanks for watching! 80/20 might be a solution to check out for making an easily removable interior. We're still rolling with the bin system but it seems like we might make one shelf under the bed extension so we can access our bins easier when we're fully loaded. Time will tell.

@@DrifterJourney Thanks for the suggestion. I was also thinking of aluminum angles and tubing which is cheaper and lighter. But wood is easier for me so I might try with kiln-dried wood with some lightweight building methods I found online. I'm hoping to design something to connect the cabinets on the T-tracks.

​@@davidrosen4951sounds like you might be on to something. Let us know how it goes once you get into it.

@@DrifterJourney Probably will pickup Tune M1 Sept. or Oct. Then start on build.

Interesting. I hope they can get that figured out for you soon.

It was our first time there and we were impressed too!

Thanks for the kind comment! We love colorado and keep finding amazing places like this!

Thanks for the feedback! We're looking forward to putting it to the test this summer and seeing how it holds up.

Thanks for watching. This was not paid for by Tune. I'm obviously biased towards Tune because that's what we purchased. I clearly stated that I haven't seen a Project M in person and was just sharing things I heard/read and the few specs I read about online. In the end, the big bed sold me so I stopped looking. I am excited to see a Project M in person at some point so I can see if it changes my opinion. I'd love to do an in person comparison video if you know anyone that has one.

Thanks for watching! I haven't put my boards up there yet but I dint think it's going to be an issue. I'm pretty sure I measured at one point and felt good about it. I'll share when I finally get around to trying. They better fit or I'll have to figure something out.

Yep! Poor design in my opinion. It pulls them out if I open it enough to put the prop rod in place.

Thanks for watching! It was definitely an odd one but I'm glad it fixed itself. How do you have so many miles already? Hopefully you can get that new issue figured out.

Thanks for the insightful question! We don't mind climbing up and down. You can use the bump out as a step, but it's a little high for me (jess) so I like to step up onto a bin or our fridge first. The hardest part about the height is getting Lupe in and out of bed! As for the rocking - it does move and shake, I would assume this depends on the stiffness of your suspension. We have soft suspension and I'm a light sleeper so it does keep me up if Greg or Lupe are moving around a lot. I think any camper sitting in the bed of a truck would do this, regardless of whether it hangs over the cab since the flex comes from the suspension, not so much from the part that is cantilevered over the cab. Hope that helps and keep the questions coming!

Thanks for watching! I have not found one that supports more weight (unfortunately). I know the stated limits and definitely know it's pushing it but my guess is that the rating is in its weakest position (open) and that it handles more than they say. I always tell folks to do their own research before trying products. With that said, we personally have not had any issues with the setup after several years of all types of roads and many miles driven.

Thanks for watching! We haven't opened it up with anything up there yet. I may beef up the gas struts before a surf trip. I'll be putting a 25 pound fly rod holder on next week and that should give me an idea of how it changes it.

It sure is nice up there! We're looking forward to many more new exploratory trips throughout the summer. We might even try out that buzz word overlanding.

You got that right! Thanks for watching!

I was surprised it wasn't busier, we were glad to have some peace and quiet for a couple of days!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! We went to the hot springs in town a couple days after this.

I sure hope she's real because I'm not into that fake stuff.

Thanks for watching! We think that a fan is a must have to help keep air moving on those hot, still nights. They also help with condensation. That's just our personal experience. I did think that I may have wanted to mount it off to the side after the fact but I don't think it will be an issue for my surfboards. We didn't upgrade the suspension (and didn't want to since the ZR2 comes with some good stuff) but it does sag a bit when fully loaded since our payload is so low. We may put an expedition leaf pack in when we find the money but it rides great as is. I think it will help a bit when we load it full for long trips.

Thanks for watching! We kind of lucked out since it was our first time heading up that road. It sure beat the paid campground that we looked at first.

@@DrifterJourney I hope in the near future we can have a beer together and tacos

We're always up for some good tacos! And occasionally we'll have a beer.

It's looks to be 3 pieces separated by metal with track in it.

@@DrifterJourney thank you !

You're welcome.

Thanks for watching! We just called the local concrete company to have the footers and stemwalls done. The concrete company most likely will have a couple suggestions for companies that will put in the forms.

Thanks for watching. I thought about it for a minute but the requirements to qualify in pur state are pretty high. We really love the truck and the radiator was the only mechanical issue we've had so hopefully it's all good now.

Thanks for watching! They really are great trucks and I'm glad you haven't had any issues. They fixed the radiator so I'm hopeful that was the worst of it. I'm keeping an eye on things for a while to make sure everything is good.

That brings up some good thoughts. I definitely like being able to get answers and support when needed. I also hope that they can keep up with demand as they grow so folks see the value add.

Thanks for sharing! That's all great thoughts and reasons that we went with Tune. We know we'll be spending months at a time in it and needed all the space we could get.

Thanks for watching! Let me ask them and get back to you. 🤣

Good video… been looking at a bunch of videos on the two and before watching your video I came to the same conclusion… think the TUNE has a better build quality ! Have fun camping! 👍

Thanks for watching! We're happy with our decision and look forward to many more adventures in it.

That's really good, I'm jealous!

@@DrifterJourney I was up last weekend in CO, and did the easy Switzerland Trail, even tried out one of the little more difficult steep side loops. Put it in 4Lo, locked front and rear, and went up it like it was nothing. No slip at all even on the loose dirt on top of the hardpack. LOVE this truck! Glad yours is treating you well! I tell you though, NEVER get gas in Trinidad CO, they must put a TON of alcohol in it (less energy than gas/gallon), because that tank on the way down I was only getting 15mpg! And this wasn't the first time I'd had that experience there.

​@kx8960 interesting and noted! I definitely don't worse fuel economy than I already have.

@@DrifterJourney On the highway and around town I run 43psi in the OEM tires, 36psi being recommended pressure and max load at 50psi being max, so, right in the middle. I'm positive that gets me probably 2mpg extra on these tires compared to the EPA rating since the sidewall is flexing a lot less going down the road. I tried out my new Staun tire deflators set to 29psi this weekend and they worked pretty well. Not the most accurate, but set them a psi or 2 over your desired pressure and just take that last psi or 2 out. WAY better than squatting next to each tire! Basically by the time I'd finished putting the 4th one on, the first had stopped. Nice! If you don't have them, I'd try them. Since I run higher pressures offroad than most (because I like to run faster when I can) so I don't bend a rim, I probably should have gotten the HD model as I'm near the top pressure for the standard ones. Either way, I really like them!

We have been using the Stauns since our van days in Baja. They are great time savers and definitely think they're worth the price. Maybe I'll try a little more air and see if we get better mpgs.

Thanks for watching! I thought the Project M was smaller? Where is there more room in case I missed something?

Thanks for watching! I don't think they were ever that high but that would be a tough pill to swallow if they were.

@@DrifterJourney I just wouldn't buy them if they were higher. Why subject myself to something ridiculous in price when I don't have to? Besides once the novility wears off that would be it

For sure

Thanks and thank you for watching!

Same for us! It's hard to beat but is changing ever so slightly every year.

That's frustrating, I'm not sure what could be the issue. The best way to trouble shoot would be to contact Biolite customer service: help.bioliteenergy.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=1260805176450&_gl=1*b7xyxb*_ga*MTg1ODk3NDQ1LjE3MTc1OTUwNTU.*_ga_0SNMP6ZZ26*MTcxNzU5NTA1NS4xLjAuMTcxNzU5NTA1OS41Ni4wLjA.

Glad it was an easy fix for you too!
