@@00derrickc haha thanks! Trying to upload more for sure. Still have more coming!

@@TheBananaRon I really liked it. If I wanted something without a tent on it again I would definitely get this again.

@@simpleinstinct they’re pretty huge

@@nathanmunn thanks!

@@MrOhHai yea the camera flattened it out pretty good.

@@allentisthammer4763 nice! Yea I haven’t touched the interior lol. Need to clean out the bed too. Still dust covered from the rest of the sections.

@@shaunburke5371 I’ve changed a couple things but has been running strong.

@@00derrickc thanks man! I’m learning more and more each time.

@@whocaresjustdoit I really don’t hear any. The main wind I hear is from my side mirrors. It’s actually quieter in the back seat closer to the camper.

@@MrOhHai probably Nevada.

Be a new on on Sunday

It was pretty nice!!

Yes most of it is plenty wide for full size. Some spots get a little tight but in a mid size you would be fine. The tightest section is the jungle but you can bypass that and not have to worry about it.

Bypass the jungle trail if you don’t want pin stripes.

Awesome! I’m sure a lot of the snow is gone by now.

Well I don’t like doing review videos but I kept getting asked about the cap and why I got rid of it. More fun for me to make a little day trip about it and talk about it for a few minutes. Plus it’s my channel and my video and my shit so I’ll wait till 3:00 next time if I want. Plus doesn’t say review in the title.

@@Exploringthewildlands As someone who is considering both of these options for my Tremor, I appreciate your review (the whole thing, I doh't care at what point you get into it) Well done man!

I love it. Have a million pin stripes but I don’t really care. If you’re full size you’re full size on these tight trails.

@@Exploringthewildlands Apparently the 2025 Raptor will have an increased payload capacity, not up to that of the Tremor, but closer.

@Nate-zy5ce yea they seem to keep adding a little bit each generation. I ended up getting Deaver HD leafs to hold more weight. They’re like 450lbs over stock for payload.

@@Exploringthewildlands Do those decrease the famous buttery smooth highway drive of the Raptor?

@Nate-zy5ce no it’s better in every aspect. No more jitter especially on rough trails. The rear end bounces around a ton With stock leafs. It’s pretty much the one upgrade you have to do. Everything else can stay stock and be good. They make non hd ones too but I put my hds on with out anything in the bed just before going to get my gfc and I was surprised it was still as smooth as stock but felt better. Went and immediately jumped the truck and definitely was blown away.

Those diamondback covers are really nice. Running one of those with a tent on it is nice for not going above the cab. Then you can run a thicker tent too. Would you get a roof rack to mount kayaks then? I had that problem with my tent on I couldn’t really travel with my kayaks. Now I can since i have the whole gfc platform camper. Since it’s hard shell I have racks on top of it to run kayaks.

@@Exploringthewildlands There is a hardshell pop up tent I am considering that does allow for a rack on top of it. But that would make the kayaks awfully high up, top heavy, if all that was on top of the RSI. I've never used a popup tent though, so am investigating, and still deciding if I want a rooftop tent or just to pack in a regular tent stored in the back and put it up on the ground wherever I go. I've even considered having both since sometimes you can't find a level place to park but a short ways a way would be a level spot to pitch a tent. Still deciding. Both the RSI Smartcap and Diamondback HD bedcover look like great products. I just go round and round. One thing about the Diamondback HD, when there's no tent on top, it would be like driving around with a portable backyard deck, great for putting a lounge chair or two and a cooler on top, all the storage still underneath. And stairs too, with the F150, just pull out the step, and step onto that, then onto the open tailgate, and then one big step up onto the Diamondback. But that spacious 3 sided access of the RSI really is something.

@@Nate-zy5ce plus the diamond back will still resemble a truck and not an suv like with a rsi. More secure too since there’s no glass to break too.

Definitely will take a lot. Going to be 3 episodes.

Yea tight trails are definitely a killer for full size haha

Thanks!

They don’t go in there they are in the back seat.

Yea I did notice about 1mpg less once doing the gfc.

Thanks! It was fun but I’m ready for no snow haha.

Spring snow can sure fool you for sure!

It’s a rugged radios stubby uhf antenna. Found the cheapest a pillar light mount then mounted a small 90 degree bracket to it that fits the antenna.

@@Exploringthewildlands thank you!

It’s from front runner. RSI DOUBLE CAB SMART CANOPY LOAD BAR KIT / 1255MM

It’s the large Milwaukee packout toolbox

The falken at3w

@@ExploringthewildlandsHighly suggest upgrading to Hakkapelittas. They will make your truck invincible in the snow.

@tyeetamer already went to Mickey Thompson Baja boss at. 37s too. Only do a little bit of snow wheeling anyways.

⁠@@ExploringthewildlandsFair enough. If you do find yourself getting into more snow in the future, definitely give winter tires a shot. Hakkapeliittas only come in up to a 35, but you will be able to go farther with those in 2WD than your 37 all-seasons and 4WD. They will make compact snow and ice feel like a normal, dry road.

@@tyeetamerwill those tires also help on ice? I have a 2019 raptor. I believe manual states I can’t use chains. Trying to see what I can use instead for nice snow runs

No it’s in darrington

@@Exploringthewildlands Oh, Nice. Nearby Lake Cavanaugh area has some cool trails/old logging roads.

@evanhanenburg7504 I think this is only 10 minutes east of there

Oh it’s a diesel heater I made into a Milwaukee packout box. I was going to show it hooked up and working and completely forgot.

Well done … very creative. Thanks … Lee

I met someone else who’s leaked a ton too up here. I was either lucky or you guys were unlucky haha.

Im sure it’s the reason everyone will watch this video haha 😢

I only run it sitting upright.

The tank would fit in the packout. But these tanks leak if put on their side. Plus I had to loosen the cap to vent each time. I don’t have this tank anymore though. I switched to a 1 gallon rotopax. I’ll do an updated video here soon. And here’s the link to the flange. amzn.to/4223I0A

How so? Hasn’t been hard yet. Even the opening the lid it still stays standing.

@@Exploringthewildlands I had small packout full of screws fold mine over backwards a few times.

The weight of the heater inside holds it down if you open the lid. I’ve also changed the tank already too. That thing leaked just sitting there. Got a rotopax 1 gallon on it and it sits closer to the lid so might help it balance. Just tested it out for 3 nights so I’ll post another video on it.

I never thought I’d own one either especially only having dodge trucks for years haha. But so far for 3 years I’ve been more than happy with it. Haven’t had an issue with it either. Be good in Tahoe too. I’m from around there originally, Cameron park.

That’s one of the Built Right Industries molle panels that are for my truck then the bracket is the one that comes with the ARB compressor.

Yea it works for most things. Be cool if I wanted to be solo and “stealth” camp but I never do that lol. Gfc has been awesome even with the tent closed have much more head room to sit in the back or to even grab gear you don’t have to crouch and crawl in as much.

What is gfc

@@bendover-bz4bc go fast campers

Haha yea kinda sucks. Don’t know when/if they’re still making the locks that open from the inside. I know the gfc topper can open from the inside if latched and locked. Mine does too.

I just got my RSI smartcap a EVOa and all 3 doors can be opened from the inside. Maybe this is a latest update.

@@desmondstrydom4430 when I called them several months ago they told me they were working on new locks. But had no availability on them then.

That's a good bit of info. Guess I’ll keep looking.

Yes they shipped it. Came freight then I had to assemble and install it.

No they aren’t.

@@Exploringthewildlands so then can they be opened from the inside when they are not locked?

I am just thinking about buying one and using it to sleep in instead of a rtt and would like the security of being able to be locked.

@@theangrycamper yea they can’t be opened even unlocked. They did tell me they were coming out with new latches that you can open from the inside. Not sure if they’re out already or not.

@@ExploringthewildlandsOh snap, that is a huge issue then, I will reach out to them and ask if the latches are available as of now. thanks!!!

Not on the front after this. I’ve jumped the truck about a dozen or more times. I did in the rear since I don’t have bumps yet. Also after doing deavers and the 37s I can tell my bed is crooked and I need to align it.

Well the gfc superlite tent I had was too small for me being 6’4. Was gonna just get a different tent but my buddy has a gfc too and it’s so nice being able to pop the floor and sit back there in the mornings when it’s freezing or when it’s raining out. Just made more sense at that point. Also I do jump the truck and stuff like that and didn’t really wanna figure out if the rsi was gonna hold up to that for a long time.

I’ll have a video soon explaining my whole reasons and stuff.

Great, thank you for the reply. I’ll be looking forward to the explanation video.

The rear door is still just a straight seal that lines up with the inside of the tailgate. Seals tight so really no water intrusion. And for height it’s right about the same as the cab.

@@Exploringthewildlands Thanks for your help. Nice setup

Yes there will be. There were some parts that took forever to ship I’m just about done with it now. I’ll make a finished video then make a full review about it if it works well. Also if it sucks I’ll make one too haha.

@@Exploringthewildlands awesome thank you I look forward to it! I’m assembling all my parts currently and making one in the same Packout box for a truck camper

I will soon. Took forever to get two parts then I’ve been busy. Pretty much done now. Just gotta test it out.
