I picked up one of these “used” from Amazon for $58 plus tax. It’s actually not too bad putting it up even solo in somewhat windy conditions. Even putting the rain fly on in the wind is easy once you can clip in one corner at a time very, very easily. I like how they did that. I’m not going to use this very much, as it won’t fit my whole family but on the off chance I go solo camping or with my just my son it will be fine. The overall quality is just OK. For $58 I’m pretty happy but I’m not sure I would have been if I’d paid $179. But if you take care of it, it should be fine. Thanks for the video!
I've got the same tent for my Tacoma. I bought some Napier Sportz Strap Protectors to cover the straps of the tent and protect the paint, especially after kicking up dust while off roading. They seem to work well so far
We had a crazy windy night and idk how, he it held up haha it seemed like the tent was going to fly off, but everything was perfectly fine! Only issue you would have with snow is it could accumulate on the top, but other than that, it would be fine I think
It was just like any other basic tent when it came to the cold. Pack blankets/sleeping bags. I used it for a few months and didn’t have any issues. I have a CVT Mt. Rainier RTT now
The problem with the Napier tent is that you have to completely empty the box of the truck to set up the tent which sucks. Also if you have a tonneau cover you will have to take it off with the Napier tent. Certain tonneau covers are fine and don’t need to be removed with the Rightline.
@@chris4853 agree with you on taking all your stuff out of the bed. It’s a pain. Tonneau cover does not need to be removed though unless you have a bifold or trifold hard one. I have a soft roll up one and no problems.
@@TacoManD4X4 what do you mean by "flattened"? Im a rookie. I've only been there once and did the whole trail. That was before the rain though. Just wondering how the condition was. I saw your camping vid and got the itch to go again. Happy trails and thanks!
@@TacoManD4X4 Some other videos post that you need the tall bed option for the Tacoma otherwise there are gaps and zippers are tight. I know trucks like the Honda Ridgeline have a shallower bed. Still not sure which one to get.
Sick video, i started with a Napier Sports tent on my 3rd gen, used it once or twice, then got a rooftop tent, but seemed like more of a hassle, i like to hit the trails. so we opted for a 10 person tent, and we also carry around the napier in case theres no space for the big tent, but so far so good, we dont have to pack up camp so i can go wheeling, i can leave and come bak and leave everything set up already
Great video!!! Hey thinking about getting a Tacoma long bed what made you decide to get your long bed instead of short bed? Also how’s the drive when you go off roading in the long bed? Thanks Taco D
Hi Do you ever thinking about getting some lighting upgrade for your car?We're the pro auto lighting manufacturer for nearly 20yrs history and we're looking for sponsorship!
Well, I have upgraded my fog lights to baja designs, I have a light bar on my roof rack, baja design ditch lights, rear led reverse lights, LED tail lights, and led headlights. What else do you recommend I do?
@@TacoManD4X4 We also got the switch panel that allow you to easily control each critical lighting and automatically adjusting their brightness base on the environment. I guess that's something you don't have and could be very useful！
Is ir 100% water proof have u tried on heavy rain storm..?
I was wondering the same. The way the door slants out has me concerned.

Hello. What long have this cage?
No one shows the door. Does it have a separate mesh section to let air in with the door?
That door support rod goes under the main poles.... through that gap in the orange sleeves.

Sweet I’ll look into those!
How does it hold up in the wind? How does it hold up in winter? Do you think it’s suitable in the snow? Thanks

@@TacoManD4X4 thanks for the info, appreciate it
Is it good with the cold? And how is it holding up this far long?
It was just like any other basic tent when it came to the cold. Pack blankets/sleeping bags. I used it for a few months and didn’t have any issues. I have a CVT Mt. Rainier RTT now
Is the door double layered, such as does it have a see thru mesh layer or is it just solid.
It’s double layered 👍🏼
Napier has full bottom truck bed coverage. Are you ok with your Rightline not having a bottom? I’m in a wetter climate than you.
It’s fine with me, but I’ll look into that company! Thanks!

I have the Retrax pro xr, although you lose about 6 inches of bed space you can use the canister as a table or shelf.
@@chris4853 just watched a couple videos on the retrax pro xr. That is sweet. Definitely will look at that when factory one starts leaking.
Do you run the whole trail or turn back to the 154?
Depends. I usually do the whole trail, but recently they flattened it so now I just go like half way and then turn around :/

Did you put a blow up in the back? If so what size fits?
No blow up. Just a memory foam mattress. I think a full would fit though
What trail is that brotha?
West Camino Cielo in Santa Barbara, CA
@@TacoManD4X4what do you usually air down to?
For this trail I don’t air down, not necessary. Maybe a good idea for a 2wd
Is the Tacoma Long Bed also considered a "Tall Bed? I see the tent is offered in a Mid Size Long Bed 6ft and a Mid Size Tall Bed 6ft.
I did mid size long bed. Not sure what vehicle would qualify as a tall bed haha
@@TacoManD4X4 Some other videos post that you need the tall bed option for the Tacoma otherwise there are gaps and zippers are tight. I know trucks like the Honda Ridgeline have a shallower bed. Still not sure which one to get.
I’ll get the link for the exact one I got
I have the same truck as you. Did you get the one for mid size trucks?
I did the mid size 6ft bed 👍🏼
@@TacoManD4X4 Koo. Thanks for answering my question.
The orange straps go between the end of the bed and tailgate and hook underneath.
Is that to fill the gap I can see in the tailgate? You definitely can get mosquitos or mapaches inside with that gap right?
Yeah mosquitos could get in. Haven’t had that issue yet, but I’ve sprayed bug spray around the open areas of the tent so maybe that helps haha
Great video
Thanks!
Great video! I'm going to buy the same tent for my Tacoma as I plan on doing some light camping thanks for the step by step set up!
Nice dude! It’s super convenient, just be careful to no scratch your truck from the straps!

Your grey pole has to go under the orange poles (through the open slots)

Where is this?
West Camino cielo!
Thanks for the content. Really nice tent for the price. That view!!!
Thank you!! If you turn around and face north, you have a great views of Lake Cachuma!
@@TacoManD4X4 nothing like that here in Cincinnati.

Saw your controller on Dirtnation Offroad Channel, planning to get it for my 3rd gen when i get more lighting.
anything that straps around the outside, grinding your paint like sandpaper is garbage
The taco is looking good brother 🤙. That Boulder still on the Cielo trail?
Thanks man!! Only one small one that makes it a lot easier to get around. The big one rolled off the cliff side haha
That chick is hot
Right?!
