we have an actual bed again :)

[@joannataylor9118]

❤ awesome Happy for you both

[@scottclukey2424]

So for my 2 cents, look into Ridget Scene lights with a remote or spod set up depending on your budget (buy once, cry for a tad) 😮😊

[@scottclukey2424]

You might also add a canopy

[@J.Young808]

Rigid lights are really good. If you want to stay with Utah company Heretic is based in state. There is Diode Dynamics, Baja, Morimoto, KC Hilights.

[@Denali1600]

What a great set-up. Love your and Zora's relationship. Maybe also worth getting a little headtorch: really useful especially the red light setting as you can be discreet and it preserves your night vision.

[@teresap.5991]

Sweet ❤ if I can make a suggestion, they make awesome solar motion-detecting lights that would come on automatically as soon as you stepped out or anyone else tried to step anywhere near your vehicle. I would put them on the sides and the back and the front. Just a suggestion❤

[@donaldbailey5576]

She would have to remove them to drive in the dark. I have them on my travel trailer. I “never” drive in the dark. Until last week when I left a boondock area early in the dark and had to remove them. I use that plastic super Velcro to hold them on.

[@MMTIGER7]

Seeing a dog Happy and playing with Joy, is good for the soul!

[@jraddd3477]

Especially a Mal!

[@z4u68]

Until it gets leaky gut

[@Suzie-he9ni]

Congratulations! It's so cozy and secure. As smart as Moose is I think she could climb the ladder with you behind her.

[@markj10]

Great idea getting hard shell rooftop, perfect for winter weather and security. You have a good life Grace :)

[@hryhorysakdan]

Congratulations!! I have a similar setup and I turn the ladder into a ramp by attaching strips of a heavy mat to it when it’s time for the dog to go up. Just a thought. Enjoy!

[@ellenados804]

As smart as Zora is i bet you could teach her to climb and go down the ladder by herself. Im glad you have a better sleeping arrangement.

[@jimgraves6464]

I was going to buy one of those till i seen the price. But when its your fulltime home its worth the buy plus your saftey is worth it👍💯💃

[@katharineferguson6791]

Maybe they will give you a really good deal if you promote it on your channel too. Never hurts to pitch.

[@RatishRam]

@@katharineferguson6791they are here in the comments and watching. Quite possible she already brokered a deal.

[@KingdomWithin7]

The way you poked the EXPED @7:13 had me laughing haha! 🤣

[@4Whopper]

That’s not a roof top tent! That’s a wedge fortress! Love it!

[@kaikito7662]

It's just after midnight here in Edinburgh. I DO have a cardie on to help me cope with another cold night here. I DO have a pool of hot chocolate which I managed to force into a mug. And I DO feel so vibrant due to your wonderful soundtrack. Sooooooo.....thank you. And thank you for another fascinating video. Can't wait for the next one.

[@J.Young808]

That breakdown is going to get everything wet in driving snow or rain. It will be much quieter in wind though and warmer in sub-freezing temps.

[@megkav2921]

I am so happy you have a proper bed again. 60 year old Future Grace will thank you for it! I wonder if Zora can learn to climb the ladder....

[@xvsj5833]

Rockin the roof top cabin ! ✌🏻🫶🏻

[@NoPerfectPlan]

Heck ya!

[@NarleyAdventures]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 That rooftop unit is kind of neat, no popping snapping in the wind plus it’s lockable.

[@ANTISHANTY]

It is pretty rad! 😉

[@krismiller5474]

I was just through that area last month in my FJ Cruiser and RTT and had that camp as a possible stop! I ended up not stopping. Thanks for showing me what I missed

[@JaneDoe-ov1hb]

Great to see you again! I love this content! What an awesome upgrade Grace, enjoy!!

[@SCFireDrummer]

Congratulations!!! So excited for you!!

[@ruggedcctv]

Wow! That thing is awesome. So much room. Watching you feed and train Zora is so calming.

[@ANTISHANTY]

So awesome! Looks like a successful night in the RTD! Stoked for all your adventures!

[@Brandon-bc5um]

I didn't even know these existed. This changes everything!!

[@TheSmallsRVAdventures]

Nice rooftop dwelling. I always wanted to get one of those. I probably will in the near future. I love your camping spot. It’s so secluded. Your pup is the greatest companion. Have fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@Sal_car88]

I love how your 4runner is evolving. I'm sure you'll have tables again in no time! The chorizo, potatoes, and eggs is literally one of the best comfort meals ever. Try it with tortilla, like make a taco or burrito. Plus coffee 😁

[@SpencerHogg]

Congrats!! Looks so awesome

[@Shereejennifer]

This is so cool. Congratulations Grace🎉

[@nature10879]

I really like that hard sided triangular looking rooftop camper. It seems easy to set up, safer from bad weather compared to fabric or soft rooftop tents. Maybe i am wrong but its really cool. Am wondering how many campers have discovered it? I have seen many complain how their soft tents break or tear up too soon. Enjoy your camping and cool vlogs as always

[@waylon7371]

I loved this video! The view from camp and the music u played just set a killer vibe!! Congrats on the roof top i know tht has raised your level of comfort drastically!

[@4x4adventure_pl]

The landscapes in this video are a canvas of exploration, showcasing the beauty of overlanding and the excitement of offroading.

[@slightlybrewed5840]

You are literally living my best life lol all i want is a camper converted 4Runner with the best doggo

[@bpersuaded]

Loved this video and how happy and excited you are about your new RTT . Thanks for replying to my last comment it was great hearing from you! I’ve been home for only 5 days and already really miss life on the road. I think I made up my mind and will be going full time when my lease is up. Like you said I can always rent another apartment if and when I want to. Love the music on this video too!

[@Lozenhimer]

FREAKIN' AWESOME!!! CONGRATS!!

[@the4evertravelers]

Looks great and cozy!!

[@richgomez3812]

Congratulations!!!!!😍😍😍

[@zachandjess]

ahhhh im so excited for you! we have been wondering when you were going to get a roof top tent. but never seen the hard sided one like that though looks good! also we've been struggling getting our German Shepard in and out of our tent and you had an amazing idea to use the vest as a handle. We definitely are going to have to try that. Congrats on the new setup!

[@joelrugg]

Awe the moose is so happy and content!❤ the rooftop dwelling was such an awesome plan . I bet it gives you both some space relief

[@BoondockBertoOverland]

So happy for you guys---that's a super cool hardtop rooftop dwelling. Neat windows, doors and floors on it.

[@davewalters6348]

Nice settup. A hardsided insulated rooftop camper with shock loaded windows. Nice. Love the pepper spray lol. Not for indoor use 😉 You can set it next to the 12 gage shotgun and throwing knives. Actually that would be a handy setup "wall mounted" next to the door. Your doggie looks disoriented at first. Love the Moab area 😊

[@figueroa1972]

Awesome, congrats!

[@SlowTransitTimes]

Wow, that’s a very cool rooftop tent. Love that it’s hard sided. Enjoy !!!

[@myunsolicitedopinion2162]

Yasss!! Amazing 🙌🏽👌🏽

[@rrrrrrtt1]

This is a very nice video. Thank you very much for sharing!

[@judytran5613]

Love that you’re back making videos! Can’t wait to see the awesome adventures! I’d recommend some magnetic puck lights, mosquito/bug nets for the windows and maybe an a electric fly swatter!

[@RedogZuk]

Awesome upgrade. Way sweet !🤓👍🏼☀️☀️

[@jerseattle0722]

😁you feel exactly about your 4Runner setup that I feel. I have the grey 2023 trd off road 4Runner. Just starting the journey your on. I’m so excited!!!🎉

[@SeizeTheAdventure]

Excellent, Ive been building out my 4runner and my RTT was a MAJOR upgrade!

[@stacy1025]

I love that setup, as much as I like 👍🏾 the blog. 😊

[@4runnerwitha4leggedfriend]

Great seeing you two again! Happy Overlanding 😊

[@NoPerfectPlan]

thank you!!

[@c.7910]

Looks fantastic ! Your pup is so well trained !

[@aRVeesBlog]

wow very nice experience friend

[@lorikeller73]

O my ! That's so awesome.. awhile ago my 4runner crashed and got another and watching to see how this adventure go's. Love to another 4runner lady ❤

[@yomedungngochoang2525]

Awesome! I liked the idea its mobile and on top of the vehicle, this is better then a tent. Loved It!!

[@ga.be.4701]

Absolutely awesome! Congratulations for you and Zora 😍👌

[@Volsman5150]

Love you Rocking and Representing the Great State of Tennessee Hat!!!! Looking Good Girl!! Love the New Rooftop Tent!! Happy Trails Girl!!! 😊😂

[@robinparra2549]

What a nice set up and a beautiful fur baby. I know folks are sharing some really good info…I for one will use some of them. Thanks for sharing.

[@Royalcrimsonstang222]

You’re definitely a huge inspiration!❤

[@caifan444]

Rig looking great yeah some nice would be good enjoy it!!! Keep it going!

[@TimmyCramer]

Great setup....finally. Watching this from Lee's ferry, kayaking the Colorado River in the morning. Timmy C Arizona

[@HankGoodness]

Congratulations on the new bedroom! Looks great. Also, sweet Tennessee cap!

[@huntman9521]

Perfect....Nice acquisition!!!!😊

[@HONORYOUROATH]

Love this channel.

[@TobyCostaRica]

Finally someone makes a windproof RTWedge 🙏🏼👍🏼

[@ANTISHANTY]

Thanks!

[@elainerobinson988]

Good to see y'all again!

[@MikeB-in1nd]

I love the hardsided camper and the fact you can get your dog up there is awesome

[@z4u68]

Can you say let's create a back problem

[@user-ll5iu5rx7p]

The look on your face @ the beginning one could tell that you were looking forward to something special!! That is really cool & great that the legs can be straight & totally comfortable! Great that you can leave bedding up there. I was curious at the start if Zora was gonna be up there, that has to be! What is one of your videos without Zora getting her stick!! enjoyed this video!!!

[@Walking_Bear]

Nice changes! Hey Grace if you have a measuring tape handy, could you give us the real world interior dimensions please? Also I bet you'd like to have a red light exterior light option so it doesn't disrupt up your night vision. If you're going all in, maybe look for LED wheel well rock lights that can change color so they're set low instead of eye level, and one or two separate flood lights at roof level for major operations.

[@jerryfife2015tacoma]

That roof top is very cool Grace and so excited for you. Love the video and your beautiful personality.

[@MountainMan677]

Ok now thats a cool RTT! Awesome vid!

[@Lavidamia1127]

I don't miss a single video ❤️❤️❤️

[@mrcountit]

Wow! That is so much better than a soft side. I love the windows. Now you have to think about the view in the morning when you park for sleep. Haha🎉

[@Mist3rData]

That dwelling is so cool! And Zora found her spot there to, so nice to see

[@SalPane1224]

is it insulated, ready for the winter yes terrific 👍Zora don't have to sleep in her crate

[@edwinnegron8861]

I like it! Congratulations 🎈 😊

[@SpencerPhotography]

Heck yes... this channel is great!!

[@ClairenParkerontheRoad]

Nice one. I've heard great things about them and I think the aluminium with cargo space must be a game changer - this is in a different class of roof top tent. Very nice set up!

[@mlsims10]

Glad you can stretch out to sleep. Hope you can switch up that ladder, then you can train the "Moose" to scale the ladder🤪

[@bonniepettersen4063]

Head lamp would be nice! Great rig, congrats!!! Enjoy your new space✌️

[@bannerpage]

Love, love the new setup! So excited for you. Zora is the best. I wish my dog was half as trained as her.

[@shawnevans26]

This was awesome Grace! I love the video content and you seem to really be enjoying life!

[@NoPerfectPlan]

The pup and I have a good time. Thank you!

[@jessicapower8585]

Wow, you did a great job training your pup ❤❤❤ she's so cute 😊

[@ramonapuckett3059]

Oh my goodness! I am so happy for you to have a place to stretch out and get some real rest! And Zora is so beautiful ❤

[@NoPerfectPlan]

It has been AWESOME! And thank you!

[@tommyhathcock2675]

AWESOME!!!!!!! Congratulations to u. By the way ur doing a great job working with Zora.

[@timecode407]

Awesome, so glad to see you get a roof top. I have the same 4Runner with a roof rack so far. My build is going slowly, but I’ll get there.nice job on the videos, that’s what I do for a living. Enjoy

[@wanglee21]

Aww you and your pup are adorable.

[@makemyday44mag97]

That is a slick roof top rig. Congratulations

[@Symon-pd4hj]

Looking good for great night sleep

[@jesusmejia3910]

Wow. That's the coolest rooftop tent I've ever seen

[@NoPerfectPlan]

It’s so cool!

[@a-teamIL]

Love it! From IL (Central), also. 😊 Happy Holidays!! ❄🎄

[@joep6528]

Looks awesome! Congratulations and enjoy :-)

[@shaolin224]

That tent is so cool it has all solid walls. No flapping in the wind👍. You did look like a kid on Christmas day 😅

[@eddygoodwin7089]

That Belgian malinois will be able to hop into that thing with one big jump before long

[@jeffupton2008]

Outstanding content and edit. Thanks for sharing your story ☺

[@KevinSmith-wr1sy]

Congrats your rig now looks amazing!

[@TheFortRoyal]

this is awesome !

[@weekendwarrior4790]

So so RAD! You going to love having option🎉❤

[@VERYPURPLE]

Basic cooking set up is beautiful.😋👍🏽

[@forty62]

That is one smart (aren't they all?) Belgian Malinois 💕

[@thecatatemyhomework]

They are amongst the smartest and most loyal dogs.

[@laloolhouvum1634]

I like your RTD it's a lot safer than common and widely used hard and soft top RTT made of fabrics with just zippers and nets to open and closed your entry, window etc. It's okay when overlanding along with couple of, mates and all. Not as safe as your's for a solo trip.

[@errgowego7649]

Very nice! I was going to recommend removing your passenger front seat, to give you more room. But this is a much better idea. You did great getting Zora up in to the tent…Luv Zora❤… you’ve done a great job with her! keep it going😊 enjoy your new roomy roof top tent😊

[@nickk.827]

Love it!!!!😊

[@susanmoriarty9900]

Wow, it's all hard sided......very nice!
