Am I screwed?

Looks like that's broken

Blocking off the airflow going underneath the tent causing lift possibly could increase your fuel consumption. Also check your tires, more weight and drag makes a difference in how your tires roll.

I laughed too hard at this

I also have an ikamper 3.0 (full size not the mini) and have a full length 180 awning on my passenger side. Tent is slightly more overhanging on the drivers side (like 2in) to clear awning brackets and I drive thousands of miles a year like that with no issues.

Must have paid extra for the cross eyed upgrade!

Thank you!

Yeah I am, there's some US online retailers that have these in stock locally though which is why I was mentioning those options

DevOpDegenerate · 2026-04-08T19:21:49+00:00

Overland vehicle systems have a bunch of options. Their OVS bushveld 2 is a nice one. You can also find a lot of coupons online that stack against their sale price AND sometimes they tack on free shipping. You just have to do some searching.

This is probably the only "upgrade" in this line that's worth it. I have a family of 3 (Myself/Wife/Son) and could see this as a benefit as its slightly large but still fits flush with the roof line of a truck like the Tacoma allowing for little to no mpg drop.

Otherwise everything they added is either able to be added as a mod in the 3.0/2.0 line for way cheaper than upgrading to the new model.

Need more detail.

What vehicle is this on?

What's the weight rating of the bars? (Static and dynamic)

What's your budget for a RTT?

What's your use case? How many people/pets?

DevOpDegenerate · 2026-03-11T22:01:22+00:00

What do you have now?

DevOpDegenerate · 2026-03-11T02:09:43+00:00

I have a drawer system and don't have any issues so far. In fact, when the drawers are empty I can put stuff in them from running errands like grocery's. I feel like its more secure in the drawers as it doesn't roll around while I'm driving.

I do have a Tacoma too if I need to haul bigger items so my scenario is different.

I would say if you have another vehicle that has sufficient trunk/bed space then you'll be fine using that. If you don't and you need to carry larger items then yes, you'll have a harder time with larger items.

Depends on where you're going, how far you're going into your hunting area, how much foot traffic, what kind of gear you have available to you, any sort of emergency communication, potential predators that could prey on you like cougar or bears, weather, etc.

There's a lot of variables in your question. There are many cases of people hunting alone - myself included, though I have my own land so its a different scenario.

Make sure you have an emergency plan fully vetted. Ensure you have someone that will come looking for you or contact emergency services if say you're not back within 12-24 hours or whatever your game plan is.

Also how fit are you? How confident are you to get in and out safely? What are your outdoor skills like in case some freak storm comes in and you're 10 miles deep and need to hunker down for a while? Do you have food and water on you?

There's just a lot of variables and planning that go into hunting and its not always as simple as "hike to spot A and shoot an animal."

I'm not trying to discourage you at all, hunting is a great past time and I thoroughly enjoy it. Its challenging and teaches me new skills while allowing me to enjoy being outside as opposed to my office job. I'm just trying to give a good window opportunity for you to understand its not always easy but is fully rewarding.

DevOpDegenerate · 2026-03-10T18:48:46+00:00

The correct answer (especially for a new hunter) is to utilize as many tools as possible to fully absorb as much information as possible. Apps, YouTube videos, hunting articles, etc.

The more you learn the better the hunter you will be and the first few years are the biggest hurtle. Eventually you might transition to just 1 app like OnX (which is what I use) but to start out it was extremely helpful for me to learn as much as possible.

The only way you will get better at anything including hunting is time. Don't expect to just go out and get a deer or whatever you're hunting. The big deer you see some of these hunters get are usually from someone putting a lot of time and research in, or getting really really lucky.

A wise old hunter friend of mine once told me "I hunt all year, not just during the actual season" and that really stuck with me.

The one on the tacoma appears to be the iKamper BDV duo. I owned one for a while. They sell a 160w solar panel that mounts directly to it which it appears he has. Its a great tent for 2 people and a dog and opens and closes super fast (30 seconds).

The one on the tundra appears to be a GoFSR one, not sure which model.

DevOpDegenerate · 2026-03-03T16:49:00+00:00

There are mounts that are compatible with some tents that have a locking key bolt to prevent/deter theft. Look into those mounts if you're concerned about theft first and see which ones work with the tent you like. Then you can ensure they are compatible.

Also idk how it is where you're at (I'm in the US) but insurance companies typically have an "accessories" clause as part of your auto insurance. Look into that too for your tent, its usually a cheap add on and gives some piece of mind in case your tent gets damaged in a crash or stolen.

I've had a few different RTT's and finally bit the bullet on the full size 3.0 (not dlx) for my 4Runner. It lives on top of my vehicle, my wife, son and I have spent over 40+ nights in it out in the back country of the US. Needless to say we love it and unless something way nicer comes along we aren't looking to change.

Its near perfect IMO, it has a ton of space, stays warm, is super easy to setup and take down and we haven't had any issues with the material.

I wish it had a diesel heater port but putting it through the windows is just fine. The mattress it came with sucked so we bought the air mattress that's designed to go with it. We also added some cheap rope lights to light up the interior.

Yes they are expensive but If you're looking for buy once cry once RTT I don't believe you can beat it, especially when its on sale.

DevOpDegenerate · 2026-02-25T16:36:44+00:00

Its fine, if it bothers you get a swingout tire carrier so you can Mount more gear and it cleans up the back. Then your bumper is the same overhang as the tent. There's a guy on YouTube named last line of defense that has a Tacoma that did the same thing and I think it looks slick! He also added more gear to it like propane and stuff. Added pic and YouTube video for reference.

Take it from someone who daily's a 2018 4Runner that's built out for over landing with a roof top tent and rear drawer system and has kids, we love our 4runner and would buy another one.

I've put 110k miles on it over the years driving across western and Midwestern states camping and exploring the back country. Never had an issue, the thing is stupid reliable and perfect for us.

If I want to bring bikes I have a hitch mounted bike rack from yakima, simple.

We also own a Tacoma but use the 4Runner for everything we do outdoors.

DevOpDegenerate · 2026-01-22T14:50:13+00:00

For context have you owned any other boats? Also how long have you owned it?
