🏕️ **ROOFTOP TENT ON A TACOMA TRAILHUNTER — IS IT REALLY WORTH IT?**

I've been putting together my 4th Generation Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter overland setup, and one of the biggest additions has been the OpenRoad rooftop tent.

But here's the question: Is a rooftop tent actually worth the money, or is it just another expensive accessory sitting on top of your truck? 🤔

In my latest video, I'm taking a closer look at the setup, what I like, what I'd change, and whether this thing makes sense for a real-world Tacoma build.

If you missed the video, check it out here! 👇

Now I'm curious...

**If you were building an overland Tacoma, which camping setup would YOU choose?**

🏕️ Rooftop tent

⛺ Traditional ground tent

🚙 Truck bed camping

🏨 Hotel — I'm not sleeping in the woods! 😂

Drop your answer in the comments. I want to hear what everyone is running!

Keep it smoky, keep it between the ditches!

My Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter is getting heavier.

The truck cap is already on. There’s some normal gear in the back. And the overland build is still going to add more permanent weight.

I needed to start thinking about rear suspension support — but I didn’t want to add airbags to this trail build.

So I’m testing Blue -40 SumoSprings on my Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter.

And I put a GoPro underneath the truck, then ran the same deep ditch twice so we can actually WATCH what the spring does on each side during real articulation instead of guessing.

Full test is now live.

Airbags or airless load support — what are you running?

A modern Tacoma truck cap creates a problem you didn’t have on older trucks: cameras.

My OPENROAD cap blocks both the factory digital rearview-mirror camera and bed-view camera, so I used ‪@GG.OFFROAD‬’s relocation system—but I did NOT remove the cameras from my Trailhunter.

I bought a second OEM Toyota camera assembly and built the cap around a reversible setup instead.

Full install: brake light + dome light + DRV camera + bed camera + removable wiring.

During my Tacoma Trailhunter install, we identified one application-specific hardware detail that never made it into the original video.

SXTH Element reviewed my installation footage, supplied a matched hardware set, and now I am sharing the complete follow-up.

New video coming soon: The Trailhunter Bolt Story.
