This website is the passion-project of a USMC veteran/mechanic, @Tyler. I created Tacoma3G.com to share my knowledge of this subject with others and to provide like-minded folks with a comfortable space to ask questions and create 'build threads' within our Tacoma Forums. Now, if the format of this website is confusing to navigate for you, or if you're interested in my full mission and T3G's history, check out the Help and About pages.
Sounds good. We have a bunch of members here using other tents so I’m sure they will chime in on theirs as well.
I was put off by the prices when I first started looking, but once you click on enough websites, you'll find plenty of tents with widely varying price ranges. Yes, they also all appear to be identical in design and function, with different materials and colors separating some of the brands.
Do you have any requirements for your tent?
I usually suggest the Smittybilt Overlander because it is cheaper than most of the other brands and works just as well. The wife and I used ours for two years and loved it. I also know a lot of other people happy with theirs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KCFKPX0/?tag=tacoma3g-20
What is your attachment like to the bed? Separate rack or attached to the rail system?? This is a nice tent compared to some others I found...
FSR tents are great. I had an M49 before I got the new Roam Vagabond XL.My choice is the Free Spirt Recreation High country 55 Tri layer. Super awesome tent and they are on sale right now. https://gofsr.com/collections/clearance/products/high-country-55-tri-layer
If you don’t want to pay as much as the iKamper is asking.. I have 2 brands (same tent) that offer that tent for less than iKamper.
https://torro-offroad.com/ pretty sure this is the full size iKamper. I’m going to ask the owner for a possible promo code.
I'm really digging the Torro tent. I'm thinking about going with this tent because I was going to go with the smittybilt but I don't think I would like the feel of driving with that tent since it gives off almost a boat sail feel. I'm looking for something like this mainly for aerodynamics. The fact that this website gives you literally everything for the tent like awning, annex and insulation included is insane.. the only con is shipping doesn't start till early March and that's only if I literally order it tonight. No pressure right lol no but seriously.. I'm actually considering pulling the trigger on this tent (4 person) myself since I'm going to need a tent by March 6th. Any luck on getting a discount code for Torro? *My mistake I actually have until Friday, the 31st, to order it and have it delivered to me early March.
Having had the Smittybilt myself, my only complaint with it was the parachute effect while driving. This happens with any soft cover tent, and isn’t a big deal, but it looks stupid. Obviously if you get the iKamper, that won’t be happening.
Lemme shoot them a message right now
Sent you a PM with your code!!!
I have promo codes for both of these tents if anyone wants to make a purchase. PM me.
