I have my second JB Evasion. Rock solid quality. The fan is great but needs replacement after three years. Form me (190cm) the tent is a bit too short. If you travel to hot areas this tent is not the right choice as the windflow is not great leaving the heat in the tent making sleeping almost impossible. The clamps are not very finger friendly.

Thanks for making this vid! Im a 30 year old, so tired of looking at new vehicles. Im hell bent on getting a RR classic and want it to sit just like the stance on yours.

Hi ! i love the box at the top of the tent, what is the size and brand of this toolbox thanks greetings from Costa Rica

Hey im really liking your set up, im aspiring to do similar with my 94 300tdi. I am particularly interested in your swing away at the rear. Could i ask where you had that from or was it a custom made one. cheers Simon

Che snorkel monti?

Thank you for your video. Actually, I like your video so much your information was so valuable for me. I would like to ask you what is the maximum speed that you can drive when the tent is folded on your truck.

Hi guys thanks so much for this video. Love your roof rack build😂 and being from western Australia love the tip about the extra brackets in the corners. Just wondering how you found the tent in big rain events?

Love your set-up. Used to have a classic.

hello my friend can you tell me or send me the link or box you have in tend up ?

Yes... buy a winch!!! Im tired of using my winch to rescue unprepared vehicles....

What year is this bus? How did you get lucky enough for an MD3060 Allison Auto? Some are afraid of it due to the electronic control panel. I'll take it all day long everyday. With that control panel, you can also read the codes yourself on any failures. Sure it's expensive if it ever needs replaced. Our fleet of wreckers, we have 3 on our 2010-2012 model trucks and none of them have yet to need a control pad and are in the 280,000-300,000 mile range and transmissions have never been rebuilt or replaced. 1 of them did get a new valve body and it wasn't cheap, but I honestly think we got taken and it wasn't needed. I think it needed solenoids, not a whole valve body, but hey, I'm not the boss and they have plenty of money so let them waste it. But yeah, always use the very expensive fluid it calls for and maybe a fluid and filter change every 100,000 miles and the transmission is likely to be the least of your worries. And if you so choose, it may be worth it to put less wear on your engine, and maybe even more mpg, it might be worth it to take it to Allison and have them unlock the 6th gear if it's not already done. On our rollbacks, we do have all 6 speeds.

JMO, most Blue Bird busses I've seen, the rear fender wells are a thick heavy plastic. And they look bigger than yours too. So I'd see about sourcing some from a used Blue Bird and they are just screwed to the floor. Makes for an easy quick fix and you won't have to worry about them rusting in the future. You're likely building over them anyway so they won't be seen and be plenty strong and air tight.

How much you pay for it tell me the price that's? I wanna know the price price price stop talking nonsense and give me the price

Like the tool you used to get the ceiling profile.

Nice to see another adventure a foot.

Gaffer tape on the zipper tabs stops the jingling sound on windy nights.

Great review mate honest and direct thanks

What an adventure! Did something close to this back in the early 1970's from Ecuador to Peru. I've never forgotten that trip.

Doing basically the same thing on mine right now. Thanks for the recon.

Great review thanks. Little off topic, but what's the process for moving your 4WD around the globe for all your adventures?

Love the build. But man ya need to speak up!

Thanks for the videos. Really enjoyed the series so far. Hope to see more instalments and progress soon

What Box is that on your roof? I started looking around for boxes that could carry on there for example sidewalls of the awning or stuff like that so it doesn't have to be carried inside the car. We also own a Grand Raid but in M. And yes drainage only works if your located uneven a tad so the back is lower than the front. Indeed had a few showers that way - which is cool of course in summer :D

Hello, how to you protect yourself from the rain getting in and out of your pop up tent? Do you put up awnings?

A 12k winch would be a better choice for the winch on your vehicle. 10k is the max and that is for a limited amount of time that it is actually running underload. An engineer told me that if something has a duty cycle that is listed you should never go over 75% of it max duty cycle, if you want it to last. Put in a different way. fully loaded vehicle 7k on a 10k winch is close to the best use of the winch. now add an incline and a longer pull on a very hot day and you now are close to or over the rated capacity and or the best duty cycle of the winch. Not only that, but think of it in terms of it's life span, will the 10k winch in your weight usage and capacity out last a 12k winch under the same conditions, all things being equal, the answer would be no. My experience with winches is they work great and they seem like enough winch until they do not. When the cables are hot and melting the insulation (ever feel them after a long pull) carry a snatch block to double the pull strength, at half the speed is generally the way we do it in the USA. Not that much more money for more pulling power and life of the product. Why, because you have not mentioned that you came to a spot where the winch was seriously working hard, and it really needed to not fail or else. I bet your careful and try not to be in those spots, but you just never know.

That flap is a vent for the fresh air in system, not the doors slamming.. lol Though I guess it could be helping with that.. where did you go. 1 year. Hope all is well!

please get a new mic setup

Hello! Nice rig. Wondering where you found that little latch to hold your upper tailgate down! Thanks!

Hey guys, hope all is well. How is the build coming. curious about the pop top. I have a RRC myself, and wanted to add a pop top.

I just found you guys. Good content! I’ve got a family of 4 so finding a good vehicle has been challenging. I’d like to be contained, ideally without pulling a trailer. For touring the USA, Canada, Alaska and Central America, possibly South America in the future, I’m leaning towards an older diesel RAM 2500 with a topper on the bed and some ground tents. If the weather is terrible, we could always Airbnb it. Thanks for the references to other overlanders. I’ll check them out.

Great effort. Really enjoyed your adventures and Reggie's rebuild. I'm planning building a classic RR expedition for my daughter for her grand European tour next year before she goes to Uni. Any news on Part 3?

What about the solar panels? Which ones did you use and isnt there a problem when it rains of the water pooling on top of the solar panels, effectively making them be underwater, doesn't that short out the panels?

This is the 1st video I saw of your channel. Loved it and subscribed. This is an proper review from an long term user. Much beneficial for everyone.

How much dose it weigh

I'm worried we haven't seen another video!!

Can the doors be fully zipped up or do they have Velcro only at the bottom? Thanks

How does this tent handle heavy rain and storms? There are so many zippers in which rain can pass trough.

very thorough and informative review thank you !

hermoso, hermoso, hermoso video…mis amadas montañas... mis platas favoritas siempre serán LOS FRAILEJONES del páramo …los amo.... nota importante: crecen 1cm al año y ustedes vieron unos que median más de 2 metro guauu muy viejos y hermosos, que buena fortuna.

llegue de casualidad y me quede encantado de ver estos maravillosos videos, que HONOR, haberlos tenido de visita en mi país…muchas gracias.... PD: Nunca me voy dejar de sorprender como es de MEGA DIVERSA COLOMBIA, parecen paisajes del África.... claro, me sorprendo porque vivo en las montañas cafeteras.

you dont ever give tips guys the guy was scamming you both for that

Had a 1995 lwb county …my favorite of all time…I always appreciated the quality of this car as very capable off road , despite the overall luxury items…i would love to build one that is pure utilitarian…I would like to know what kind of wheels are on yours…

You guys are great, found you through Dirt Sunrise and being a rover guy myself, had to subscribe! Love the RRC! Are you guys still in Colorado? Will be up there in Ouray and surrounding areas for a couple weeks end of July for the national rally and side trips. If you are ever in Texas, look up the Texas Rovers club!

Note there is no warranty for James Baroud roof top tents in Australia that are ‘second hand’ ie if you are not the original owner. Therefore, a rooftop tent sold to another person is not so valuable due to you are left on your own to repair any issues as JB were very clear they are not interested. Read the fine print…..

Does any road dust penetrate the seam of the tent??

What kind of a wife would not only be interested in her husband's endeavor, but film and possibly edit videos?? A super, terrific wife!

can you say how is in the winter if you use it ?

Great video, thank you

Great videos, how is Reggie and you both these days?
