I'm just getting back into mountain biking after being in the UK for the last six years. This trail looks hella fun, but my vertigo is hitting just from watching the video! lol
I went up pick n sledge then down pay dirt and magic mountain for the first time this past Saturday it was a blast kinda sketchy going down on a mongoose from dicks but the bike survived lol
@@Amateur_Hour. Awesome, that's exactly why I was asking. I'm planning a trip to go ride there and it will be on an even day. I was looking at videos and pick-n-sledge seems like a brutal climb. Is taking Grubstake Loop a better option or is the climb up the entirety of P-n-S not that bad? I'd say I'm intermediate to advanced but don't have real mountains where I live
@@Dr_Pappa The climb up pick-n-sledge can be brutal if you are not used to that type of terrain. If time is on your side and you’re ok with stopping for a break you’ll be fine. I’ve actually never rode grubstake loop.
There are black diamond trails in the system. North and South Diablo. Scorpion Trail. Dare-A-Sarah. Snake Eyes. Sidewinder. You didn't do any of those. Hawes Trail System is a great system. If you want to do Diablo Trail then go to Granite Mountain Trailhead and start from there. If you want to do Scorpion, do Hawk's Nest to Scorpion and look for the warning signs.
I don't have an install video. I had to source my own bolts from Home Depot. I believe I posted a view of them on my first video. Then I used those in connection with the provided hardware from GFC. Feel free to reach out with any other questions.
Thanks for the upload. I'm doing this hike in June. Apparently you can no longer park at SP Thur - Sun you can only get there by shuttle. Approximately how long does it take to complete the trail? The last shuttle from SP back to town leaves around 5:30 so I'd like to try and time it right.
Anytime! Depends on what kind of shape you are in. I would block out several hours to see what you want to see and hang out for a bit. It will be pretty hot in June so lots of water.
@@Amateur_Hour. Yeah I figure I'll probably head over there just after lunch around noon that should give me enough time without being rushed. I always visit Sedona in the summer I actually like the heat lol but of course I'm aware of the risks and always bring plenty of ice cold water. Thanks for the info.
I’m 6’1” and sleep on my stomach. I have an opportunity to buy one of these but don’t know if I would fit. It says it’s 90 “ in length but in one RU-vid video someone said U wouldn’t want to be over 5’ 10”
I used to do a ride from my driveway in lakewood over mount falcon and up bear creek canyon then through Evergreen to elk meadow and then up to the top of Bergen peak, back the same way =57 miles. Then you're in shape.
I was a looking for a new rack to mount my superlite onto, and was looking at Prinsu. Did you mount the tent directly to the rack, or are you using the tent mounts that Prinsu sells? Thanks!
My superlite is mounted directly to the prinsu rack. I chose this was to keep the profile as minimal as possible. The only thing I don't like about the prinsu is the side mounting options aren't great.
Nice video and great hack on going through your moon roof to mount the front straps! Can you tell me or show me how you mount the rear straps to the last cross bar? I also have the same lack of space issues as the front straps that you resolve by coming up and through your sun roof. Thanks!
To be honest it was a pain. I used a short Allen key to tighten with one hand while holing the t nut in place with the other. I have the last bar on my prinsu rack removed so I was able to stand on my rear bumper and pretty much see what I was doing. Another way to do it would be to remove the crossbars, mount them to the tent and then lift the tent back up to the rack and remount the crossbars.
Nice video! I'm 6'2" and the problem I'm running into is finding a wedge RTT that I can actually fit in comfortably. Wedge Style RTT's are difficult because of the low end (hinge side) where you can't fit your feet in correctly and end up hitting the roof. Do you know if the GFC RTT V2 is bigger, dimension wise, than this the superlite? I really love the low profile of GFC rrt's but I just don't fit in the dams things.
Thanks! I can understand your troubles. Im not quite as tall as you and I still have the same problem you're talking about. It looks like the inside dimensions are roughly the same however I do think you get a little more room at the wedge end of the V2.
Appreciate the video. I also have a 4runner and thinking about getting a RTT and an awning. I assume you have an underground parking if you live in an apartment? Do you know the height of your parking gate by any chance? (Or the current height of your 4runner?) If it's possible at all, I need to figure out a set up which is under 6'8 which is the height of the gate at my apartment. Thanks!
When the awning is deployed, both the front passenger and rear doors are able to open. When the awning is closed it does not interfere with the doors at all.
Thanks for the upload, also your first video where you got the screw from home Depot helped a lot as well. I just purchased the quick release because when I go off roading I don't want it to get all dusty lol.
Anytime! Thanks for watching. Nice, you’ll have to let me know how you like the quick releases. I’ve actually off-roader quit a bit with this tent so far and it does an excellent job of keeping the dust out.
Thanks a lot for sharing this! I was thinking 52inch would be really pushing it since on GFC's website they say the tent is 50 inch wide. Looks like it is a tight fit but works OK, right?
@@bersonlee Pro tip, if you end up using the EXPED. Once you pull the deflate valve to let the air out. Role it up then flatten it out and when you close the tent it will be like it’s not even there. A little extra work but well worth the comfort the EXPED has to offer.
