Grand Views - First Trip in the AT Habitat

[@jonnytacooutdoors]

Little ryobi blower works great to blow the camper off before you open it. Sikaflex 221 to fill the gaps between the rubber you installed should help. 💪🏼 What an epic spot you had lunch at!

I just had the same trip, spot for spot identical. Some of the greatest camping I’ve ever done. Great video.

[@Whitedogoverland]

I was getting a ton of dust in my Flippac, I took some low density foam and spray adhesive and went around the tailgate as well as shell hatch and seem to work pretty well.

[@llowielynbatara1089]

Saw your video as well. Now I want to do this!

solid. loved this one. drone work was great as usual.

[@stumptownwoodworks]

White pocket is amazing, we went there last year on a massive trip through Utah in part due to your videos. That road you left white pocket on can get pretty gnarly lol. Especially with a friend who has a new sprinter van that isn't quite built out yet... One of the really long ones.

[@RevereOverland]

It can be! I stopped several cars from trying to drive out there

[@the-vangs]

Tundra build is looking good. Soooo jealous you was a WP. The family and I have been itching to go back, Hopefully this spring.

[@RevereOverland]

It’s a beautiful spot that I keep going back to

[@robinperronjones5024]

Good to see another Tundra with a Habitat, i have not seen another until yours. I got one fitted to my Tundra in 2021 and so far it’s ticked all the boxes for overland travel. Being a minimalistic traveler especially from my adventure bike trips the Tundra with a Habitat is a great combination for an overland vehicle set up. Great video 👍

[@RevereOverland]

They're awesome!

[@johndiaz7240]

Thank you , we like your upgrades to the Tundra.

Ran into at the Cracker Barrel parking lot in flagstaff😂. I had the Black Series hooked up to the Uhaul truck. I’d smoked the wheel bearing in my rig the night before. Cheers!

[@ChrisWilliams-pu8pj]

Wonderful job as always! Thank you!

[@ovrlxnd]

I think the real solution to dust is creating positive pressure inside the camper. I know you're the handy sort. You might think up some filtered vents or a fan at the front, in a location protected from driven rain.

[@RevereOverland]

That's what I'm thinking about. A 12v fan that runs while the truck is running wouldn't be too hard.

[@flagarage9498]

Great stuff as always!

[@marczing1]

To keep dust out, use a fan to over pressure you cap. Ovrlnd campers offers one on theirs

That Tundy is looking sick!!! I felt the excitement for you as they were installing it. I remember when I got my Topo Toppers Badlander installed on my Taco, it was such a great day. What heater are you running in it? Don't you live back east, or the midwest?

[@RevereOverland]

Nice! I have the Truma heater. Currently in Kentucky.

[@Idahoshepherds83440]

Hi Rob. Very impressed with the tent. I have a full size f150 and I have a Prinsu rack too. What did you do to plug the holes drilled in the cab when you trimmed the rack?

We used some kind of butyl sealant if I remember correctly

[@leucadiacruiser4296]

Did I spy a Giant Loop Armadillo fuel bag on one of the drone shots? Guessing you grabbed it while you were in Bend. Been using them for years now and love the flexibility. What did you think?

[@RevereOverland]

I actually got two while I was at Overland Expo PNW last July then bought a third one while I was in Bend for this trip! They're fantastic, and unlike jerry cans and Rotopax, they don't leak or need mounting anywhere.

[@SasukeUchiha-zu6dw]

Maybe some way to create positive pressure in the bed while driving to keep the dust out?

[@RevereOverland]

I’m tempted. Maybe a 12v fan through a filter that I can leave running.

[@yamidgonzalez886]

Which setup you like the most? The habitat(current) or the previous one (RTT)

[@yamidgonzalez886]

Love all your videos man, is awesome and by far the best looking Tundra so far

[@RevereOverland]

They both have their strengths and weaknesses. For just taking a trip as a couple, the RTT is simplest. For working out of the truck with the three of us, the Habitat is awesome.

[@NATURESHOWS]

SO EPIC 👍

[@JimJones-gd2jy]

I wonder what fish species were in that monster gorge 1000’s of years ago ?

[@RevereOverland]

If you went too far back there wouldn’t be any fish. The canyon is only about 6 million years old!

[@TheLazyWandererMys]

Loved the views and more importantly, how its shot. I have a stupid question though, why did you choose an Aluminium finish Habitat? I feel same thing finished in black would have complemented the blue/black theme of the vehicle better.

The plan is to wrap it

[@WallyKuhns]

What is your habitat ratcheting device?

[@RevereOverland]

Just a DeWalt ratcheting clamp from Home Depot. I won’t be using it again, but I can see it being helpful if you’re struggling.

[@slamboy66]

At the beginning, what tire pressure and max speed at that pressure(heat)?

[@RevereOverland]

I think I went down to around 16 psi. I’m not sure what a safe speed or distance is on pavement.

[@thomaslewis1268]

Nice, compact rooftop tent setup, but seriously, what would you do with 40 mph winds (quite common in the SW during the spring) ?

[@RevereOverland]

I’ve had it up in a storm with heavy rain and 40mph gusts and it handled it just fine other than the zippers needing covering to stop them rattling.

[@thomaslewis1268]

I've survived 50 mph winds in a Gazelle T4, but given the Habitat's exposed position, I'm surprised it could handle such forces. I guess being anchored to the truck helps more than I anticipated.

[@RevereOverland]

@@thomaslewis1268 it also has a lot of bracing across the top which I'm sure helps!

[@heycooley]

Thanks for the information! That was my big question about the Habit. I'm definitely confident about getting it. Lots of wind in our area. Lake Havasu, Arizona. Mohave Desert 😎👍🏻🙏

[@av8orAH64]

Rob, I have been following along with you for a while now. Epic videos! After watching your comprehensive footage, in Idaho, I am still perplexed. You are still rolling in your Toyota, but you were wheeling in your wife's Rubicon. Having watched you in both...What do you think and what do you prefer? Does the Rubicon flex better than the Toyota or are you still a fan of the Toyota? For what it is worth, I listened to your wife's jeep groan while wheeling in Idaho. But how did it do in comparison to your friend's Toyotas? In transparency...I own a Jeep Rubicon Extreme Recon 392. However, I am always looking to the folks who have been there and done that to render the final decision. What say yee my mate? Cheers, Gary

[@RevereOverland]

They're two very different machines that have completely different strengths and weaknesses. The Jeep is incredible on difficult and technical obstacles, and the Toyota can't compare. The Tundra is far better for long distance trips on bumpy and rough roads. I'd also rather tow the Jeep across the country behind the Tundra than I would drive the Jeep itself! For a trip like this, the Idaho BDR, or the Pacific Crest Overland Route I'd take the Tundra any day. For something like the technical trails we recently did in Kentucky I doubt the Tundra would have made it.

[@av8orAH64]

@@RevereOverland Thanks. I completely understand your point of view. I must say the Jeep does wander around on the road and is also tight and bumpy inside the cabin. I guess it really comes down to personal preference as to which features dominate your decision. You have provided epic videos with your setup and for the record, I am not a died-in-the-wool Jeep fan. I just wanted a Hemi engine in an off-road rig...I never really grew up. I like the sound and the lifted set-up. I so appreciate your beautiful videos. I am a pilot and a drone operator so I really appreciate the bird's eye view that you provide in your videos.
