Great stuff. Live in Northeastern Utah. Just retired a 300k 2010 TRD Trail and bought a used 6th Gen TRD Pro. Would love to run a trail with your crew sometime.

Though I am not an off-roader per se, that is rock crawling does not appeal to me, but that kind of overland (backroads) does. Looked like a great time.
Can I ask, what dash cam were you using, brand and model, and more importantly what type (again make and model) of mount were you using that would hold the image so smooth and not rocking with the vehicle?

Love your setup! I have a handful of build questions if you don't mind.
  1. Any clearance issues with your awning and the tent-poles for your RTT? I'm about to install a similar setup with mine and am concerned with the awning getting in the way of the poles. Similar issues with a previous tent.
  2. Same question regarding molle panels / rotopax and ladder for your RTT? I have considered a permanent hatch ladder on the back (little ladder). Asking again because my build is in-progress and want to get ahead of issues. I have 2 rotopax on my molle panel in the same location.
Happy trails and hope to see more of your rig!

The Alu cab 180 awning is free standing so no need for poles i do put one out as it allows a little more head room. Un able to do a 270 as low mount RTT and awning directly mounts to tent would hit rear hatch.
You could get in and out with a dedicated widdil wadder. I am not going that route I have on order a duel swing out bumper from Expedition One so that i can carry my 35 spare and still have cameras working.
Due to where the side entrance for the RTT when i have the latter on unable to open rear door. And it clears the items i have mounted on the panels even when i have 2 rotopax mounted. Those will eventually move to the swing outs. Get mass as low as possible.

Poles on the rooftent, not the awning. Worried about this hitting the back of the awning. I also have a 180.

With AluCab set up no issues on all sides.
