Roofnest Falcon In-Depth Walk Around - Roof Top Tent

Here's a complete Roofnest Falcon Roof Top Tent walkaround before we get it installed on the land cruiser. Clam shell RTT

Keep an eye out for our upcomming install video and all of our adventures this coming summer.

We also have a unique idea for getting the tent on and off the roof so keep an eye out for that too.

So here are the big reasons we chose this particular tent.

Profile - This tents profile is extremely low which means it will effect gas mpg less and well let's be honest it is going to look very cool.
Weight - The falcon is 135lbs. Tents get up to or even over 200lbs and that is more than I want on my roof. I have traveled with weight on the roof and less is better. Not only is it safer but the vehicle handles better.
Load Rails - The available load rails are going to allow me to get a few things that were on the rack to the top of the tent.
Accessory Channels - The roofnest's accessory channels take a standard M8 bolt just like the frontrunner and the possibilities are endless.
Fit - the dimensions of this tent fit my frontrunner perfectly. If my rack was a 1/2" longer the tent would fit down into the rack but due to the Alu-Cab Shadow Awn's mounting brackets I am going to have to mount with the Frontrunner brackets that elevate it 1.2"
Price - while this is no inexpensive item when comparing to similar tents like the Alu-Cab's Gen 3 Expedition, Go Fast Camper GFC, Eezi-Awn Stealth, and Camp King after you include the shipping costs (roofnest includes shipping in price) most of the direct competition cost $1000 or more over the roofnest.
Here are a few similar tents to compare:
Alu-Cab's Gen 3 Expedition
Go Fast Camper GFC
Eezi-Awn Stealth
Camp King

You are sure to see some major work on the hundy as we continue to get it expedition ready. Now we have a second major project, a first gen Tacoma 4x4 TRD off-road. You will see everything from ARB, slee, national luna, blue ridge overland gear, alu-cab, odyssey batteries, old man emu, warn, safari, and many more overland outfitters. We will also do some DIY projects along the way as we always like to save a few bucks. It should be an impressive year with a very busy schedule. We hope you join us.
