  • Our family is just a few days away from being a family of four, sounds like a perfect time to go on an overnight trip to Bend Oregon. Right? We needed to pick up our new roof top tent from Free Spirit Recreation in time for the North West Overland Rally so we packed up the family in the Tacoma with the M1101a1 trailer in tow and headed out to meet with the guys at Free Spirit Recreation to check out all the awesome tents they had in their show room. We ended up leaving with the massive High Country Tri Layer.
    For those who are interested here is a link to the exact tent that we got.

Sharing vacations with others was always fun and memorable.. as I got older and got Married I never thought of going camping and I never realized my kids would have enjoyed it as much as I did .. it’s great seeing your family really enjoy your experiences .. also it’s great seeing you explain dealing with your son trying to sleep haha also are you nuts allowing your pregnant wife to talk you into camping lol that is cool also it’s great having a wife that enjoys camping ... you have s new subscriber keep up the cool videos

    We kind of had to do the same thing with one of our kiddos when they were little. We found that if we flat wore him out, all was good. Like picking up pine cones around camp, to seeing how many times he could run around the truck, picnic table or tent while we cheered him on. Even had to resort to a walk in the deep dry sand at the sand dunes to get this little turkey puckered out. However, once he was done it was lights out till morning.

    Hey, love your content. Your video's have helped me with a few decisions I have made with my truck. I am looking at a lot of RTT's right now and the Free Spirit is in my top three. I watched some other reviews on this RTT and one guy was having issues with the stabilization poles. As soon as he put weight down on the pole it would drop down to the next hole. Have you had any issues like this? Any new findings or issues with the RRT now that you have had it for several months? What is the coldest temp you have had it out in with the tri-layer? Thank you in advance.

    i realize this is an older video, but I have a question. I just bought the 55 version of this and was wondering, on your tent, does the outer frame of the tent make contact with the bars of your roof rack or do the extruded aluminum bars under the tent that run front to back ( vehicle direction) that you clamp to your roof rack hold the frame just a bit off the bars on your rack? if the frame doesnt make contact, how much space do you think is between the frame of the tent and the bars of your rack? thanks man, Im super stoked to get mine! thanks man !

    Im very jealous of your new RTT. Im trying to get a small off road trailer so i can get one too! Also, i couldn't help but notice your taco is down-shifting a lot...have you thought about regearing it for the bigger tires to help reduce that? I put 33's on my FJ Cruiser and will be getting it regeared since its tries to downshift a lot on the highway. Just a thought....keep up the awesome work brother!

      You shouldn’t have to regear for 33s. I’m currently running 34s on my FJ and a lot of weight (bumper, skids, roof rack && RTT) and I’ll feel it on uphills but otherwise 35s is where you should definitely start considering it
