This is a enjoyable series Matt, very applicable to many of us. Thank you for taking the time to do so.

[@dirk954]

Very good informative Video. I look forward to the next ones. Good Job!

[@TheHuntForDinner]

For your line of work this seems very practical and fitting. You have everything with you everywhere you go. Nice setup!

[@yanbalihanting6996]

special and beautiful natural scenery

You’re back 👍👍

[@adamwillby]

I've got an RSI smart cap on my tacoma here in the US. Its the best topper ever. Super solid. That one looks very similar for the most part. Nice build man!

[@coolbecauseiam]

Did you have any issues with fastener hardware corrosion and seals on the joints ?

[@sk_m24]

Nice Customization .....👌👌👌

[@davidwilliamson2115]

Also important is that Nicole has to be comfortable operating and driving the bakkie

And can you putt your luggage in this truck , like 2 full size cloth bags ?

[@thabomangena4464]

woooow what a nice and informative Video Matt. I see in most part of the video you are in Mountain Passes and a beautiful scenery. where is those places and would like to take my family there.

[@TimothyOwen]

Why would go RSI over this one? The side door openings look larger on your one vs the RSI

dopeee

[@Jarrodshayadventures]

Set up looks great and very practical. It seems to be more of an Australian market only thing, but what made you keep a style side setup rather than a flatbed tray and canopy setup? My own opinion is they’re a lot more versatile and more storage.

[@mattdubber]

I agree, that is more practical. At the moment that is very much an Aussie thing. I’m sure the rest of the world will catch up soon!

Hello, is the rear window a must?

[@toxophilite1953]

I just noticed that it (YT) doesn’t let me like the video. I have to hit the like button 3X before it accepts the (👍🏻). Once that happens if I stroll thru the subsequent videos & come back to yours the 👍🏻is no longer hi lighted and the # of likes is back down to what it was before I gave you the 👍🏻.

[@Alis_Hunts]

Hey matt , would not it put alot of pressure on the suspension constently ?

[@mattdubber]

Yes it does. I upgraded my suspension, I will talk about that in a later video👍🏼

[@RaymundAndrewTongson]

hi , is your 270 awning attached to the front roof rack and also bolted in the rear rack on top of the alucab canopy?

[@mattdubber]

No, it is only attached to the rear

[@flytelaw1]

Matt.. Can you glue some styrofoam onto various areas to help with the heat problem? Ar3 you using any solar charging...guessing that will be covered in a future video....are you using a second car battery....in both my Land Cruisers, I have twin battery compartments but it has been a while since I rented a Hilux so I cannot recall if you have a second battery compartment. Great video! Cheers💪

[@mattdubber]

Styrofoam could work! The Hilux does have dual battery compartments but its best to have the battery at the back as the heat in the engine bay affects the auxiliary battery performance, and there is voltage drop if it is too far from the fridge and other things.

[@janne65olsson]

I just wonder. Is ther any side panels to fit under the roof on the cooking side. Is ther any wire to tye to the ground? Inkase ther comes a snowstorm. 🥶🤭😁 /J from Sweden 😉

[@dailymeds5596]

Hi, I’ve seen your video on KZbin about the orange river adventure and really like your shirt. Is it possible for you to give me an idea as to where I can get one? Thanks

[@TerryManitoba]

Why would you not have gone with the Alu Cab Canopy Camper - I figure that would be the gold standard. -NO? (BTW - I just had an accc installed on my Tacoma with 6-foot bed...)

[@mattdubber]

It was just very expensive, and also I wouldn’t be able to fit in my garage😆

[@TerryManitoba]

@@mattdubber Got it - Those are 2 big hurdles...
