This is one AMAZING roof top tent!!! - Teds - TEDPoP Roof Top Tent
In this video I take a deep dive into the awesome Teds - TEDPoP rooftop tent. There are plenty of roof top tents on the market to choose from but not many that can quickly open up into a king size bed while still taking up a relatively small footprint on the vehicle AND while keeping the weight relatively low. This tent seeks to break the mold and change the game of what is possible with a roof top tent.

However, as with all products, there's always room for improvement. We cover all the pros and the cons and I try to give a good idea of what it would be like owning one so you can make your own educated decision

1up Bike Rack Review - The best bike rack on the market
Просмотров 36 тыс.Год назад
After spending weeks researching I pulled the trigger on a 1up USA bike rack and have never looked back. I've own this bike rack for over 3 years now and it has traveled with me all over the country carrying both my gravel and mountain bike safely over all types of different terrains. Till this day it functions like a brand new rack. For a product to be abused this much and still work brand new...
Truck Bed Camping with INCREDIBLE views - FORD RANGER TREMOR and RSI SMARTCAP
Просмотров 2 тыс.Год назад
I've been planning to camp at this site for over a year now. I found this site using Google Earth and pinned it, then I went out a few months back and checked it out. It was of course even better in person. So I finally found a decent day to make it out and it was perfect. Great sunny weather with a gorgeous sunrise. No one around for miles and Copper and I had the entire area to ourselves. The...

What a great review. So thorough. Thanks for this.
Glad it was helpful!
Definitely best explanation review!
Glad you think so!
TopOak @ $1499 FTW 😁
What is the cost of rrt
$4,490.00
Bro, they release this tent RIGHT when all these new rooftop tents are coming out at ~$1000 and this one is over $4k?
I hear ya, but not all RTT are created equal! I'm not sure how many king size rtt's you'll find at this price point. Not saying it's cheap, but most at this size are going to either be very expensive or cheaper but very heavy and cumbersome. In my opinion, this one is priced pretty competitively given what it offers. I do, however, think for the price they are selling it, it should come with some other stuff like a better mounting bracket or lighting/pockets, etc. It feels like they put all the engineering into the tent itself, which is important and valuable, but the smaller stuff could use some extra love
👍
Great review. My concern with this rack is that it is not really e-bike rated. My emtb weighs 53 lbs for example so I could probably eek by with this rack but it doesn't give me a warm feeling.
You'd want to upgrade to the heavy-duty rack for that! It's rated up to 65lbs per tray. 1up-usa.com/product/2-heavy-duty?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwk8e1BhALEiwAc8MHiKNm7Uscl13555SfrIO_4W4O57DxUQvZrW7nzHazpGsBS_CgFk39yRoCcDEQAvD_BwE
Saw someone ask this, but there wasn’t a response. Looking at this currently for an FJ. Did you need an extension on the hitch? And will the door open if you tilt the rack down? Thanks
I had this on the FJ prior to this truck and did not need any extension. I cannot remember if I was able to open the door with a bike on it or not. In the down position I mean. Also, it will work with 1 bike rack on it but if you add to and tilt all the way up it will not clear. You'll have to have it tilted at the 45% angle to clear
@@GetBusyLivin Thanks, thats good to know. The 1 is probably what i woudl do first. So glad to hear that I wouldn't need to buy extra pieces. I'ts not big deal for me to remove the bike to get access. Do that now with an old Thule. Thanks!
Best review of this rack I have seen. So clear and the actual demos of "how to's" were perfect. Thanks!
Good! I'm glad it was helpful
Great review. I think I'm going this route over the KUAT. Quick question....did you get the quick rack with adapter or go heavy duty?
The kuat piston pro x is a pretty cool piece of engineering and the one handed opening feature is very nice, but my concern would be dust and grime eventually getting into the pistons causing failure. That’s a very expensive rack to have fail. This rack is no bs and just works…all the time. Simple and robust I got the quick rack with adapter
@@GetBusyLivin good to know. I was looking at the heavy duty since it has the 2" hitch diameter vs having an adapter. But if you hadn't had any issues with the quick rack, that makes more sense to do
Will this cargo carrier work with the bike rack as well- as in can we use both together? I have a 2 inch heavy duty 2 bike carrier also 1 up
Thank you, finally someone showing a truck tailgate open with tilt
You bet
Baddass
💯
I've been considering this rack for a while but I wasn't sure how it worked. This is the first review I've seen that actually demonstrates how it works and what I need to know. Thank you!
really glad it was helpful for you!
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
What about secuirity?
Great video! I just put a Smart Cap EVOa on my 3rd gen Tacoma. The current production versions have a redesigned latch that is supposed to not allow water in to freeze, plus they can be opened from the inside. I believe the latches will be available separately soon-ish. It took them 3 years to develop after the initial reports of latches freezing. I know RSI made a few other changes over the years as mine has the port for the bed light and a different mounting system from the earlier models. So far my only complaints are that the locks turn anti-clockwise to lock, not sure if that is a South African thing, and that being black powder coated the inside is very dark. I am curious about how you have your traction boards mounted. Looks like a convenient location. If you could make a short about that I would appreciate it.
Great review!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the videos. I have the same set up. What load bars did you go with?
I just went with the ones that you can order from Smartcap. They're easy to install and have a heavy duty t-slot built into them which is nice for mounting stuff
Hi, do you still have this smartcap? Where did you purchase it from?
I purchased mine from a local shop here in CO called Spirit of 1876. However, you can also check out their site to find a local dealer: www.na.rsismartcap.com/dealer
@@GetBusyLivin Are liking it still?
@@robedwards6926definitely. The quality has stood the test of time so far and everything still functions as new.
Which model is this? Super duty or heavy?
Hi @jxgxa, this is the 2" Super Duty Single - Black
Awesome review! The real-world demonstration of the rack's usability, combined with the anecodotes around off-road use, were both super helpful. Thanks! That's a sweet looking squat/deadlift platform as well.
I sleep in the back of my ranger but i sleep diagonally and can shut the back door and tailgate.
Best review yet. And thanks for the tips and demonstration of off road capability.
Much appreciated!
I got the EVOa adventure on my 2021 Ranger Tremor. Didn't need the windows and preferred the added security. I've had it since October 2023. Mine came with the rubber latch covers in the box. I added them right before winter here in VA. They were super easy to add on after you do one. Never had any issues opening up the cap during freezing weather. I added some rubber protection to help them last against the sunrays. A con is it does add another step on opening the cap. But I lock mine anyways so it's not that big of a deal. It does hide the latches so less likely someone might test to see if they're unlocked. Oh, on the cap brake light wiring. From SmartCap they had the wiring harness going towards the driver's side. I had to actually feed it to the passenger side down underneath the truck. Not sure it's because I have the tow package. But definitely take a look underneath before running the cable. Ask me how I know. 😂 I believe there's plenty of slack you can test before running it.
Haha that’s actually a great tidbit of info thanks for sharing! I’ll keep that in mind when I finally wire it. And ya, I’ll definitely be adding the covers this fall!
Great channel! Thank you for your review. I have a 2022 Ranger Tremor and just ordered this same cap. Your previous videos sold me on this. Yes, they now have covers for the locks. Hoping mine came with them otherwise you can get them separate under warranty.
Nicely done video, very thorough. Do you know the distance from the back of your tail gate to the bike as I have a full size rear spare tire mount?
Hey Steve, that distance varies by about 6 inches as the male end has a slot to allow it to move closer and further from the vehicle. I just measured and at it's closest the frame of the bike is 10inches at the forks. It's about 6 inches at the pedals. and 4 inches at the handlebars. Ideally the pedals could be moved out of the way and the handlebars should be above the tire but you'd have to test that out. Again, you have 6 inches to play with so should be some wiggle room to get to about 16 inches for the frame
Sheeeet it looked white coming out the driveway 😅😅
Thanks for sharing these trips, they’re fantastic - been learning a lot
Great review, really helpful! I think I’m going to order the exact same setup: the single rack with the add-on rack for flexibility. One question for you. Have you used any of their additional lock sets (either the 1/4 turn wheel lock or the add-on lock to secure the add-on extension)? Both seem like nice features but at $25 each I’m not sure if it’s worth it. How do you secure your bike to the rack when on a road trip? Just wondering what your thoughts are given your experience with this rack. Thanks!
Hey there, I’ve considered it but I believe it only locks into the wheels and not through the frame. Being that the frame is the part I’m most concerned with being stolen I just use a cable and fish it through the frame and wheels and then lock it to the truck :) also?
@@GetBusyLivin Thanks for the response. I just placed my order today! No more laying the mountain bike in the bed of my pickup. Now I can actually take it camping with me. How do you clean the rack after a long dusty drive? Just hose it off, or take soap and water to it?
Soap and water if I’m doing it at home! Otherwise I usually wash the bike, rack, and truck all at the same time through a self-service car wash
My current saris weighs 70lbs. I'm looking into this or the Equip D
Get rid of the dogs
Ya ok
Is easy some one Stealing the bike from the rack
In order to steal the bike rack someone would need to have both a 1up specific allen key wrench and be able to somehow pick or break the hitch lock. So I would say it’s possible but not easy
Will the bike's handle touch your truck? Looks close.
I have the rack all the way against the hitch and the bike handle does not touch the truck. But yes, it does get close! I have never had any issues with rattling or rubbing tho
Show off your favorite rack loading bikes with fenders and a rear trunk rack!
I own a tremor 2021 cactus gray, with warn 10k winch, RCV front shafts, ARB front locker, KC fog and clear lights, Mishimoto, can catch, bigger intercool, and radiator with more cooling capacity, Roof top tent from Freespirit model High Country. It's a very nice truck and comfortable for 2 big guys, and economical to drive.
Only one strap on items on a hitch haul is a mistake
What cam straps are those to secure the cargo?
These are the ratchet straps from frontrunner. I highly recommend them! I’ve had these for 6 years and they work just as well as first use
Maybe integrate a metal screen or grate where license plate is?
Ya that’s a good call out. Having a spot to easily relocate the license plate would be nice!
@@GetBusyLivin I was thinking of license plate on vehicle but having a grate on cargo carrier being able to see through in vertical position
New suv have back up sensors does it affect backing y blocks license plate when vertical position
Yes it will set off all the backup sensors. For us it does it in any position.
@@GetBusyLivinqjvx T😊e😢😮dp😅 a 😊 , a t I P❤Alwew
Is it legal in your country to hide the number plate with cargo? in EU it would be illegal and you would have to mount another plate on that cargo rack. In addition, in EU you would have to hang a warning flag onto that rack for extenden length or have another full set of back lights on that thing. How is it over at your place?
It actually is illegal, however most law enforcement are cool about it as long as you have it showing in the front. If I had the cargo carrier on the truck more permanently I’d relocate the license plate!
Only items extending 4’ or further require a flag.
if you dog has issues it’s cus you failed to train him lmao
thanks for watching and helping grow the channel
Great review, thanks for being so thorough.
You bet! New review coming soon for the Cargo Carrier!
Wish I had a full garage to store the rack. Until then, gotta store my bike inside the car 😭
So when you put the holders in place against the bike wheels can you lock it in place to avoid theft?
They do lock into place but it’s not a fixed lock that requires a key or anything. You would want to either purchase a 1up lock that mates well with their rack, or you can simple use a normal bike lock
@@GetBusyLivin thank you for your reply. I just wouldn’t want to pull up to a stoplight and have someone grab it off the rack or walk into a store for a minute and have that happen. Not that I’d leave it out of sight anyway as a practice. In any event TY.
Any updates on your topper?
Hey what exactly do you mean? As far as how I've liked owning it since purchasing?
I have always wanted a 1up... but my $250 rockymounts solo rack is 4 years old and had zero issues. If it ever fails, I'm going for a 1up,!
Great review Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
It’s gets the job done but it looks ugly. Looks like a TV mount behind a car 😂😂😂
