Our First Overland Camping Trip in a Roof Top Tent - Toyota Pickup Rock Crawler | Ft. GIANT TREES

- Searching for campsites and exploring with my girlfriend in our 1988 Toyota Pickup, and then visiting the Giant Sequoia Trees located in McKinley Grove, deep within the Sierra National Forest in California. We've found some of the best camp sites just by exploring and leaving without a destination, turning off forgotten roads and then searching for suitable areas.
We camp in a Roof Top Tent (RTT) and explore the mountains to find a great campsite, eventually stopping and checking out these colossal ancient trees. These trees are some of the longest living things on Earth, typically living over 2000 years. We make some simple camping meals (camp and cook), and just enjoy the scenery and outdoors. This spontaneous trip was totally worth it and the truck did very well! It was definitely an adventure.

Rooftop tent 2/10. Camping & exploring 10/10 🙌🏼☺️
A 2/10, wow 😂😂 I’d give it an 8
Camping, 2nd Gen Yota, TACOS?! Yeah definitely on board with everything here. Great vid Ricky 👏🤙
Thanks guys! It was fun! Almost didn’t film this one but decided to go for it last second 👊
Unplanned camping is always the best
Hell yeah!
We have the smittybilt XL and when i was on my ram 2500 it felt like sleeping on a skyscraper. However, those ladders are designed to have holes drilled wherever your vehicle needs them to be. Set the ladder so your feet touch the bottom rung and your outstretched arms are touching the rung about chest height. Should be around 70 degrees or so. They bend and get damaged at the angle you had it set at. I added a foam topper to mine and it was a more comfortable sleep than the $50k camper we stayed in before we picked up the tent. Love the vids and maybe we’ll see you around in our 91 single cab pickup!
Thanks for the tip and I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome 👍🏻 . Great video to inspire people to go have fun!
Snow flowers!!
Sarcodes sanguine, rare flowers and protected by law
Thanks for sharing your camping experience and greetings from Montana!
Great video. Cheers, bro.
Super cool setup! I was trying to find a Toyota pickup similar to yours local to me and couldn’t find a good deal on one and one that wasn’t completely rusted out so I ended up buying a 1983 Nissan 720 pickup. Excited to see the iterations of your set up in the future! God bless🫡🇺🇸
Those gringo tacos look good by the camp fire.
What a truck. Great job 👏 ❤
Hey there…thanks for your making this video, keep up the great work! Have fun!
Thanks!
cool trees
TERBAIK VIDEONYA...MANTAP.....DAH SUB
Was just up there about a week before you when I took my wife out to wishon, there was zero people! It’s crazy to see McKinley grove so packed, I’m assuming you went around Memorial Day though. Sweet vid, I’m hoping to take my 89 on its first camping trip later this month since me and my grandpa went in it when I was a kid.
Also after this I went and layed down in my truck bed to see if I would fit. Good advice.
Thanks for checking it out!
just found your channel and just had to subscribe when I heard the burp and her look. So real life. hahaha If the tent was up off the bed more your ladder would definitely be better for you. Maybe a set up that will let you raise the tent after getting to camp so you don't lose your lower center of gravity while wheeling. I will be checking out your other videos. I'm a big Toyota fan and my son and I bought a first gen 4Runner and really like it. I overland in my Sequoia.
Awesome! I just sold my 1st gen, they're awesome rigs.
You turned your crawler into an overlanding rig like me 😆 I have an Alpha 2 rtt fits perfectly on my bobbed bed. Sweet vid just now discovering your channel definitely Sub’d 🤙🏽
Thanks for checking it out and thanks for the sub!
Hey man I’m in Santa Rosa and have an 85 4runner. Let me know if your in town sometime
If you remember, what brand and where did you get the bed rails for your tent to set on? I have a 1986 xtra cab that I want to do this same setup to.
They were from some jeep that my neighbor had. They weren't designed/made for the Toyota.
Thank you for your help
You get reception way up there?
None at all
Nice Toyota Pickup. What kind of MPG does it get?
I sold it for a Land Cruiser but it was about 14
My hunting area that s12 road. I yank my trailer in there or another spot by it
Oh nice. Yeah there’s a lot of spots for trailers here. It’s not that far from swamp either
There won’t be a open spot on that road come July and August. Yeah and close to dusy
Could have took that road home to and end up at pine flat or shaver or blue canyon
I want tacos now
Just a suggestion, you are so new and wanna make video on TH-cam but just cook what you like and your GF not into this
What a truck. Great job 👏 ❤
