Respect level= bonus points. The fact you stopped and took time for your kids without even a second thought is amazing. Your kids always make your video's better. The fact you took the time to give them attention is even better. Yeah, the S-Pod stuff is cool and very informative, to which we thank you for, but that's the small picture stuff when it come to doing right by your family.

[@lvp7137]

Awesome you didn't skip a beat when your kids came out to see you, which makes this fun to watch as in all your videos. Kind of like the 'Dr.Phil' of how-to.

[@johndiaz7240]

Thanks for explanation of SPod , job looks great . You are blessed with children .

[@andrewjarvis7777]

Perfect! I just checked out the powertray site and ordered the dual cause I can see myself getting another bantamx so gotta plan ahead! Lots to my install coming up but it’s slowly getting close to ready to put together. Looks great 👍

[@RainmanGA]

Nice job, Jason! Keep up the good work.

[@Texarican1]

Great video I really enjoy your videos. So informative and genuine. Keep up the awesome work.

[@davidg7538]

I installed an SPod as well. I'm pretty happy with it but I did wanna give them props for one thing. Best customer service in the industry. Super nice and helpful people.

[@TurkeyDart]

Great video

[@traviskorda3262]

SDHQ is awesome I had their sliders on my Tundra(needed more payload so had to trade her in for a Ram 2500, reminds me to check and see what they have for that). Anyway I'm in AZ have relatives in Gilbert, never seen anyone else on KZbin showcase their products so that's cool. Enjoy your content, unique perspective and interesting videography. Thanks Jason!

[@tacoma_jon]

Love that touchscreen setup.

[@OH-qp1fk]

Thanks . Very informative 👍

[@derekjarman1638]

That is a pretty cool system!

[@larrybriggs2920]

Cool Jason, good job love that controller. I think I'll pick one up

[@BernonCars]

Yess! New video!

[@matthewchandler2470]

Your work is inspiring. Your experiences are real and kids suck sometimes. New generation right? Keep it up man

[@jons8381]

Wahoo! Hey Jason!!

[@SHWELL11]

Good stuff. I am awaiting the Dual battery setup install. Ive been hesitant to buy a Dual Batt setup because I cant finalize which kit I want. Keep the vids coming.

[@SHWELL11]

@@darthstrukt thanks for the info!

[@oxoverlandfamilyadventures4656]

Nice! 💪🏽

[@briceswan7803]

Super cool look at the SPod set up. Gives me ideas on what to do in my rig. I'd love to start a KZbin overland thing as well. If you have any advice, id love to hear it. Keep up the Awesome videos Jason!!

[@juliebuckley2958]

Christmas lights!

[@Thecarcissist12]

use a die grinder and carve a channel into the blank from the side, I found thats the best way and it makes servicing so much easier

[@noahmartin2620]

You missed the linking feature which is pretty cool.

[@beesshop1978]

You can find the switch blanks on eBay if you look for your year toyota switch blanks

[@Kiyoshisatome]

Can you do a later review on the sPod?

[@FullMetalNapkin]

Can you tell me what strip you used on the windshield to hold the wires for your lights..

[@specopscommunity]

Would you recommend a CVT tent or a 23 zero tent? And why? Looking for best overall quality for the money. Thanks

[@overlandiowa2251]

I do like the sPod system, but the screen can be so unresponsive and if someone pops around a corner and I've got to switch off lights quickly it can really suck. I know Kelly (Gopherpaw) got rid of his a few months ago for the same reason, I'm considering the same, but we'll see.

[@jensalan]

For grommets, you're probably thinking of something like this. I just installed some rock lights on my 4th gen 4Runner and used these to finish clean up the metal edges after re-painting . I drilled through the bottom of the body to run wires to the (as of right now) 4 rock lights. This means I have absolutely no visible wires running to my rock lights. :D You'll be needing some smaller ones most likely. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P4JIBG2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@byronbrasher8118]

what kind of screen tent are you using

[@EmpTy-kf2rq]

I didn’t realize the sPOD is huge compared to the Switch-Pros.

[@karsonbussell4283]

Is the color for your front bumper called flat black? I’m getting mine coated this weekend and just curious :)

[@macksattack2595]

Awesome!. Is there a Iink to this product?

[@fastbpo99]

You had a 6 port and now have a 8 port. Why did you upgrade? Was the new screen vs the old rocker switch the difference? or was it the added capacity. I think need only 4 or maybe 6 . But I don't like buying a lesser quality piece only to upgrade later because I did expect to need it later. I see you now can drill thru your car with no hesitation. Early on in your build, i could you had reservations about that. Now you just blast thru with a roto-zip and screw guns like a pro.

[@VanillaGorilla502]

Anyone know where to get a deal on this SPOD setup?

[@chrisengle5074]

Which model spod is this?

[@davidbruton4768]

Now that there’s a TRD PRO Sequoia, would you consider upgrading for the power and additional size for family over landing?

[@traviskorda3262]

I have to say the size would be the only advantage, otherwise the Sequoia would be a downgrade in ALL other areas in terms of capability. It's a soccer mom wagon with a TRD badge, not that theres anything wrong with that but...just my 2 cents

[@davebruton1912]

@@traviskorda3262 normally I would agree, but TRD did some major suspension upgrades on it, and when it comes down to the basics, its body on frame just like the 4 Runner. It also already has several things that he "Upgraded" to on the runner...it has LED Headlights, A small lift, nice upgraded wheels and off road tires, a Safari Rack already attached to the roof. Theres some video of it in some seriously bouncy and rough terrain...granted I know its Toyota Advertisement, but if it can do it, it can do it. Just my two cents. I am seriously considering it if I can have the drivers seat lowered a couple inches.

[@BirdDogOffRoadAdventures]

Links to the products in this video?

[@mytv2480]

Во сколько оценивается ваш автомобиль с прицепом и всем тем что с ним сделано?

[@ArtofHunter]

Nice kit but looks like sPod needs a better touch screen. Shouldn't have to force jab a screen to get it to react. Screens stopped being like that many years ago.

[@ihmesekoilua]

It's probably a resistive rather than a capacitive screen, you can probably use it with gloves on, which you can't with capacitive screens (iPhones etc).

[@MikeCris]

Looks like the touch screen needs to be calibrated?

[@blackackcl]

I've seen a lot of reports of it lagging and taking time to respond, I asked Jason about this in another thread but didn't get an answer. Makes me hesitant to buy one for sure

[@bhoyohbhoy3563]

Title of the music @4:00?

[@andrewjarvis7777]

It’s “sandstorm”

[@nathanriegel1679]

Dang I wanted to be first

[@giabyul]

Loctite

[@DarkBykeTwitch]

Looks like their touchscreen isn't that great. You have to tap it multiple times before it actually works, not a good sign.
