Hey im curious, if i wanted to paint my springs, could i do it with a spray can type of paint or does it have to be done by a professional? Thanks

Awesome video. Im getting jks soon

I'm glad I saw your video. Some of the issues you discussed are extremely important (i.e., gel coat and third-party manufacturer warranties) if I'm going to spend the kind of money they're asking. And it's certainly unacceptable for a company to send me the warrantied materials and tell me I'm responsible for the cost of installation. I'll stick to the DIY utility trailer/rooftop tent setup I already own. It was inexpensive to buy and fix up, it carries everything I need when I camp, and I don't have to worry about multiple manufacture warranties. Also the fitment on an expensive little teardrop needs to be top notch because I don't want to have to keep returning to Bean Trailer for little things, mainly since I live three states away.

Hey thanks for the info. I'm stuck on a P0390 . I changed the mopar cam sensors, just re-wired it all... Cleared all codes and 5 miles later engine light on again. Thoughts? 2012jk wrangler 4dr

I have a vw jetta. 2000 lb capacity. Can i pull with that ty!!

Hi, do you have the model for the 270 awning, seems to be a few of them.

16k and can't stand up in it....the rv dealers near me have multiple stand up trailers for that much...not even worth 10k to me😢

Why do they look backwards the lower control arms ?

I thought that jks is that you gave him were black how did they get orange

Nice review Kevin, I just stumbled upon it. Looks like I got my Bean just after you and many of your points were already addressed. Some counter points: 1. I considered over 20 trailers before purchasing my Mean Bean and none had better warranties, and none offered a lifetime leak warranty on the shell. I’ve had our Bean for 2 1/2 years, with almost 15,000 miles on it, and have no issues with the clear/gel coat cracking or chipping. It still looks brand new. Keep in mind we store ours in the garage. 2. We go off road a lot, including miles of washboard, and have never had the cabinet doors or drawers come open. I had a sticky drawer and Bean happily replaced it (it was within the first year). 3. The “attic” is not meant for large item storage. We usually put light items up there like flashlights TP, jackets, etc. However, I like your idea of a net! 4. I believe Bean now offers AC and heat. 5. The Bean galley cabinet doors now come standard with locking latches. I too had the magnets but Bean was happy to get me the new locking latches that I installed myself. 6. My fridge slider came with a lock out. Love it! 7. My water pump is plenty powerful, although a bit loud. 8. The tire size is just right for us. Any bigger and you really limit getting into a standard garage. We air down before going on washboard roads and that’s all that’s needed. 9. In my experience, with nearly 15,000 miles (plenty of which were off road), our Mean Bean has proven itself time and time again and is a great overland camper. 10. Lastly, the entire Bean team has been great to work with. They have been responsive to all my questions and have gone above and beyond in my experience. Thanks for the review!

That was harrowing! Go Daisy! 🌼

I love love this review. Thank you for your candid and honest review of Bean. Since this video 2 years ago I hope Bean improved their warranty department. You're not a paid sponsor masking as a reviewer. I just subscribed to your channel.

Upper- lower control arms front and rear

What do you think of RSO suspension beast gear?

@18:30 Pro Tip From a former YJ Owner, Keep a can of WD-40 and if you run thru a puddle again, Hose down the distributor cap and wires. they like to let water in a kill your spark when you romp thru puddles like that.

I'm Thinking about being Dumb/Brave and trying this in my 2wd Dakota... do have MT tires and a winch... I think I could do it. I live near sylacauga so it's not far away.

Could slide the speakers off to the side

Do you have to do the creek crossing? I’m not sure I have the clearance for it but I’m interested in the rest of the trail

usfs link?

Man I just got an 89 yj ,, the leaf springs are almost flat…. Is this due to age or was that just the set up on stock YJs

loose the overloud music please

Can you drop the link for the fenders. They look great!

Worn out cams because all the dry starts due to the pos oil filter/cooler housing. Ever wonder why the CTG filter is dry after pulling it out? It drains ALL oil back to the sump when shut down. Start engine and it’s gotta reprime the filter, etc before pressure gets to the bearings and cams. Stupid design. Solution? Get a Baxter performance filter adapt which has an anti drain valve. Top it with a good WIXcan filter!

Where is the trail head and can you ride sxs on these trails?

So I know its been awhile and maybe figured it out by now, but pour a shot of cold water down the spout of your coffee pot after your boil and it wll knock the grounds down to the bottom. Old cowboy trick, safe travels.

One of the better RV videos on TH-cam today guys, perhaps you might consider selling them ? The salesman representing Sunray are nothing short of a joke.

Where do you keep your clothes? We’re looking into purchasing one of these.. but there isn’t much storage..

Yep had to replace my oil cooler too. Just replaced both my camshaft position sensors and it still throws the codes. I was wondering if it is the seals.

are you still running beget Control Arms ?? and if so how are they holding up ?

Thank you, guys and gals, for sharing this video. I am originally from the Birmingham area and have been away for a very long time but have recently moved back to the area. I have a stock TJ Rubicon that after a few maintenance repairs, I plan on doing these trails!

“Wired for solar…”. Yeap, many builders say that. Like you said, just means you get a Zamp/SAE plug. It wasn’t too bad running the wire and installing a charge controller.

This is an overview, not a review.

I just picked up a lightly used one of these for $5K from a friend. My Jeep XJ tows it easily and it’s great for everything from Costco runs to beach day trips to off grid camping. I’m really happy with it so far.

I’ve got a vl60 haven’t used it yet

I got issues with the wiring

I get a p0369 code for the last 2 yrs. Been getting it almosr everyday now. Im at 307k miles on my 2013 jk. Ive reppaced the bank 2 cam sensor 3 times. Its deff not the sensor. Im thinkin the jeep is old and the phasers need replacement

Are you still running these and if so, how are they holding up?

Hello. Does the camper have Timberline Independent Supension or is it a solid Axle?

Yep, cam phaser is your issue. I have the same problem on my 2013 JKU. It was never related to anything electrical. I replaced both cam phasers on bank 2 and it resolved the issue.

how much weight could those rack hold? can it hold a rooftop tent?

If it were tall enough to stand in it would be perfect.

Hey guys. Thanks so much for replying to all our questions and comments. Much appreciated. 😊

Just advise ...turn the gas cylinder around so its collar covers the valve...so a stone dont brake the valve

I would like to go with you guys on a local trips do you want my number

Need too many upgrades they don’t offer, larger box, max coupler, etc. 🙃

Too many recommended options and mods, none of which I would do. This is not for off-roading but for many like I who would rather sleep in a trailer than my SUV. And who needs running water? Buy a six pack and some sodas and you are all set! If you want something bigger, then get it. When you need to take a shower, go to a hotel or gym. This is also perfect for those who want to do a long trip and skip an occasional hotel along the way. Also, having the attached but distant stove (and cooler) is brilliant and will save me the hassle of lugging around my little stove (and is very easy to clean and will not dirty up the interior) and cooler. It's on my list and my dogs will love it. Further, it has no toilet, the best part because 1), I'm not cleaning or dumping it and, 2), I can use a public toilet when needed. And finally, the wrap around awning sounds good in theory but from other videos, might break because of all of the moving parts; thus, only one shaded area is needed. Remember, this is not designed to be more than what the poster seems to require for his needs.

One thing you did not mention, is your trailer skin, fiberglass or aluminum or something else. Plus insulation wise is it rated 3 or 4 season.

Does the red rubicon not have its lockers anymore?

Love my gazelle t3x overland edition tent so much that i bought 9 more so each member of my club sleeps in style and don't have to worry about getting wet during a storm, actually got mine up in 46 seconds yesterday lol , i actually use a disco bed bunk bed cot in mine with a solar panel and Jackery power station so I've got power for a fan and my mini Projector lol 😂,yeah seriously i camp comfortable lol

Cool
