I’m glad to see the mods and tips worked

🎊 For future modifications, whenever you rivet two pieces of material together (that you want waterproof), put your bead of silicone/sealant BETWEEN the two materials (like a gasket) NOT on top (like a band-aid). Not only is it bulletproof, but it’s invisible‼️ This is how we waterproof sheet metal construction in the Arctic…and silicone is workable at 50° BELOW ZERO, also.

Thank you for this video. I asked my Dad for a caulk that would do the job and this is exactly what I meant. I’m sealing up my Tundra and Leer top for camping 🏕 I love these RU-vid videos that share solutions.

Thanks for watching Samantha! I’m all about solutions.

I used cove base molding, corners coped and trimmed to fit around bolts, and snug on all three sides.

How do you not have more subscribers? The content is identical in production quality to a lot of the big channels

@EvergreenOverland 3 года назад

That's very nice to say. It's growing and I'm hopeful. I'll just keep posting and if people like it they will come. Lol Thanks watching 😁

Just what i needed for my Tundra, thanks!

@EvergreenOverland Год назад

Glad I could help!

I like the channel man! I have a Tundra with a summit camper and am out here in Central Oregon. We actually follow each other on IG. I did something very similar to mine and it works great, no water!

@EvergreenOverland 4 года назад

Oh nice. How are you liking your summit? What is your Instagram handle?

@caseylorenzana4438 4 года назад

Evergreen Overland I love it! Blew through 3 different roof top tents and was tired of dealing with them. Got the Summit and never looked back. Very happy with it! I’m @redrock_design

@snowgeezers5771 2 года назад

Like the angle idea! What did you do at the bottom? It looks like you velcroed a rubber mat to the tailgate and the floor of the truck and have it blocking the bottom. Is that correct?

@EvergreenOverland 2 года назад

It's a truck bed rug. Mostly for a little insulation factor. Thanks for watching Snow Geezer

@dougk.5501 3 года назад

Great channel, but one question. Doesnt moving the alignment of your tailgate away from the seals lessen the impact of weather proofing?

@EvergreenOverland 3 года назад

Yeah I can see your point there, but there really is no seal to speak of on most truck bed tailgates from the factorya. There are close tolerances and flashing from factory, but water and dust find a way past with little effort. Adding a rubber seal is in my opinion is the only way to mitigate that intrusion and it worked prett well for me. Thanks for watching Doug.

Be careful when using lexel. We use it at work to seal roof leaks and once it cures it’s almost impossible to remove, so if you put it somewhere you want to remove you have to cut it off with a razor blade

@EvergreenOverland Год назад

Thanks for the heads up!

@organicvids Месяц назад

Works good sealing drains. Yep it only comes off with knife. Short pot time.

@kcol7899 2 года назад

Can you show or tell how you hollowed out the latch bars?

@EvergreenOverland 2 года назад

Head over to evergreenoverland.com and fill out the email form. I'll email you a picture

@kcol7899 2 года назад

Thanks!

@carltonbirds Год назад

A deep shame you had to do that in the first place, are all of your pickups like that ?

@sirgregoir 4 месяца назад

Why aren't the sealing surfaces designed flat. Hey, there's an idea. They don't have to be so convoluted a shape, what for...???

@jmalinowski1000 2 года назад

So you made the seals the wrong thickness, then you modified the truck to fit the improper seal? Then you used Water Displacement #40 to wash away the lubricant from the latches? Brilliant!
