Great video, thanks for sharing! I’m with you, rechargeable is the way to go. Never get stuck with an empty headlight and no extra batteries.. Also more environmentally friendly!
First time I've ever watched your channel. Here's my first impression..... Really nice rig. Very well narrated. You carry waaaaaaaay to much stuff! No wonder you can't get up obstacles without winching.
Thanks for your quality and informative videos. I saw one of your previous videos with the Hest mattress to fit in the AluCab RTT. Just took advantage of 20% off at an outdoor supplier and picked one up. Improving sleep comfort is huge! Enjoy.
Gday Mate, I have just starting watching your video. One thing I have noticed with your FJ is that the top inside of your rear door isn't painted white like tne roof. I have a 2012 here in Australia and mine is. I wonder if this changed on later models or in different countries. I do have a video about my y favourite unique FJ features where I show this. Great vids thanks for effort you put in. Cheers Richard
Yes I believe that paint line was changed around 2008 if memory serves. It was only spotted in very early models like mine. Thanks Richard! I will jump over and give you a sub!
Well I travel with my wife for one. And a 2 week trip of sweating and running around filming, and I am not trying to smell like hell the whole trip. I'll take as many clothes as I feel i need.
Just too wide and too long for a lot of the stuff I do. I have definitely thought about how nice it would be, but switch backs and tight trails wouldn't be fun and I find myself on a lot of them.
Nice video Tyler! I had to laugh because I did the same thing to the zippers on my Alucab 3.1, went with bright orange so I could see them because as you know that tent is pitch dark when everything is closed up, even in bright sunlight. Love the back support idea, I have been looking for something like that. Skottle is now my go to cooking also....wasnt sure at first, but I am getting better at it!!
Silent zippers make all the difference! I actually slept last night on the border of Utah in some heavy winds and I only woke up because the whole vehicle was rocking! No cling cling is a win! And yeah, the skottle with the new burner is a sure win! I love it more than ever!
I actually ended up with a few of both. Either is a good bet for your tent. I used different sizes between the outside (solid) window and the mesh window so if I am fumbling around in the dark I can tell which is which.
Blue is the sweetest! Yes, I have 4.56 gearing which helped a fair bit. I recently got the Overland Tailor Tune and this weekend I did my first long trip through the mountains with it, and I can cruise at 80 mph again without my Fj screaming the whole time. It was so nice to drive with the tune!
@@IndependenceOverland Thanks. I was hoping not to have to do a re-gear with 34s. Have you had any issues with the Tune? BTW - good chance I'll be getting those Scheelman seats. My wife has sciatica. I will let them know you sent me.
As a fellow FJ owner who’s short on space.. I recently bought the Sea To Summit Watercell X (20liters). Essentially it’s a water bag, super strong and versatile because it folds into nothing yet strong enough to stand on when full! Top quality. Also has straps to hang it on side of my roof rack so it’s also my shower (comes with a shower tap). Amazing product, highly recommend you check it out!
Brilliant going thanks for that. Just got the DOMETIC faucet (tap here in UK) really well made and as you say a great idea and worth the money for the quality it is. Been thinking about the Redarc charger system does look clever have the victron setup powering the workshop though solar, but think my go with Redarc for my truck. Thanks good going Sam
Tyler. Wondering what you use for a stove and how you like it? My old Coleman works but is really bulky and cumbersome, looking for something that could be stashed inside the 4Runner easier. Besides my Pocket Rocket MSR
I use the Partner Steel stove. I believe mine is the 18" model. I bought it used to save a few bucks, as they are indestructible so used wasn't a concern. I have no affiliate links and no way to make a monetary gain from telling you that. They are simply the best I have come across!
I mention in the full video of that case that I intend to use the case for the next vehicle. It’ll be roof mounted on that one, and I’d be willing to put more in it.
I like how you threw in the “Go Fast Campers that leak” comment 😂. We’re picking ours up in July. I hope they’ve fixed that issue by the time ours is installed….
Most wedge campers leak from my understanding. They can be sealed up fairly well, but if you go down a dirt road in a place like Moab it finds it’s way in. Spend some time pulling up the plastics on top of your bed and sealing the little holes that everything clips into before you take delivery. Then look up the best sealing kit for your particular tailgate, because a lot of dust gets in through that as well. Alucab avoids this by removing the tailgate on their canopy camper, and you can pay for the installer to do advanced sealing methods where they essentially glue the entire thing down to stop the dust intrusion. My information comes from research I did 3+ years on these products, so perhaps shops have found better solutions since then.
I love fenix lights! I wish their penlight had a lockout but that is my only quarrel. That fenix headlamp is great, I like that it can clip off the band as well.
@@IndependenceOverland you just have mentioned how nice others are and seems your in need of more room by your comments before so I keep expecting one to show up😁
How has the moisture been with the Hest? My alucab mattress got some mildew recently and it’s got me wanting to change sooner. Added those desiccant packs you suggested but may have to do the aireflow too
Ah man that sucks! Moisture hasn’t been any different, my tent seems to be sealed up tight. I do have an anti condensation mat under mine and I open the tent at work fairly often to let it air out. If my HEST ever gets ruined by mildew I might cry!
Not sure if you’re interested in charging the power bank faster or not, but I’ve seen DC/DC (chargers or inverters?) hooked up to the solar input to charge them much faster! Tinkerers adventure has a great video about it!
The burner can actually come out and sit on top of a small butane/propane and be used by itself. I always carry a MSR Reactor no matter what stove I’m cooking with though, which is specific for boiling water.
I died a little inside every time you said GRMS. 🤣 The Hest mattress is the best thing ever if it can fit it in your tent and close. Best RTT mattress. I love sleeping on it. Fenix bike lights, flashlights, and headlamps are awesome. I love that you mentioned the USB C thing. Every rechargeable device now should come with USB C. It's 2023. It would be so nice to only need 1 cable type to charge everything. Nice videos. Hope to see you out on our Colorado trails sometime.
Any concerns with adding extra weight on the rear gate/tire holder? Justin B McBride had a similar setup on his Bronco, but added additional support for it. Not sure how our FJ's do with a setup like your running and a larger tire?
check out my video I did on the Pelican case mount. I did both a video on the case itself, and the mount. This mount is bolted to my swing out tire carrier that is pretty much a truck axle so it can take the abuse. I wouldnt do it to the factory door. My tire is about a 34"

Its the best pillow I have ever found, and not just for camping. They are so good.

Good stuff man, thanks.
Thank you!
I’m glad to hear you’re not getting rid of the Fj. Reason I started watching your videos 😂
Love these gear videos
Thanks for the feedback Sam! Did you get your vehicle wired up yet?
@@IndependenceOverland not yet, I’m still saving up for a couple more pieces so I can do it all in one shot
First time I've ever watched your channel. Here's my first impression.....

@@IndependenceOverland A yeah cool, I learnt something today! Thanks for the sub too.
Can't replace headlights and they are really foggy. Spray some bug spray and scrub it off. You will be amazed!
Thanks Jeremiah!
Clothes are heavy! How much do you really need?
Well I travel with my wife for one. And a 2 week trip of sweating and running around filming, and I am not trying to smell like hell the whole trip. I'll take as many clothes as I feel i need.
@@IndependenceOverland I think you said you put it up there in the box because they are not heavy!
@@richardvalitalo3670 I was trying to convey I wouldn't be storing tools, recovery gear or actual heavy things like that in the case.
You need a tundra man. I got a 2020 tundra crewmax. Plenty of room and V8 power.
Just too wide and too long for a lot of the stuff I do. I have definitely thought about how nice it would be, but switch backs and tight trails wouldn't be fun and I find myself on a lot of them.

Awesome vid mate , um.the zipper puller brilliant 👌 um what size did you go with ? on Amazon I see them in various sizes ...
I actually ended up with a few of both. Either is a good bet for your tent. I used different sizes between the outside (solid) window and the mesh window so if I am fumbling around in the dark I can tell which is which.
Yea thats actually a very good point 👌 sweet ill order some cheers mate , our fjs are so similar haha even down to the famous voodoo blue 😁
Great video! Definitely some great ideas I’m gonna have to try out
Thanks Tyler. Glad to see Blue :)
Did you regear when going to 34’s?

Thanks Tyler! Based on your recommendation and another Overlander, I purchased an Open Road winch this weekend and look forward to installing it!
Mine has been great so far. As the snow starts to melt, I will really be putting it to the test!
What Apple Watch band is that!!????

how do boil water with that all in one stove ?

Ha, just caught why your comment made you cringe! I’ve been saying it wrong in every conversation I’ve had with people 😂!
@@IndependenceOverland 🤣
Your FJ is spotless! Impressive.
Haha I don’t know about that, it’s actually quite beat up! The camera hides the scratches and dents quite well!

Great video thanks for the insight. I live about 40 minutes from Montrose. It's good to see a video from a local so to speak.
Ohhh your closer to Ouray then I am probably! Some of the greatest land in this country!
@@IndependenceOverland actually I live closer to the big city of Delta
Love both my tembos...use one at home all the time and the other on the trail...I had the wind deflectors welded to the skottle and love it.
I cook at home with mine too, but I haven't gone as far as having a spare. Not a bad idea!
@@IndependenceOverland found the second one on offer up...sold as a camping wok for $20 😂
Great video!
Thanks 3rd Gen!
Love your content T
Thank you Jeff, I appreciate you sir!
Thanks.
No problem, Thank you!
Let’s face it. ALL 4x4’s owe their existence to the Jeep.
You are correct
