    Replacing struts on James Baroud tent

    Quote from Baroud Portugal... The struts are 56 euros EACH. Freight to Britsh Columbia from Portugal is 42 euros. Ouch! Looks like the aftermarket route is the way to go.

    Replacing struts on James Baroud tent

    I have a Baroud Grand Raid XXL tent. Love it for the last 7 years that we owned it and it was used extensively for our family trips around the country. The struts are appear to be getting old and hard to pop open the tent. I am thinking of tearing open the strut's fabric cover, and either...

    Replacement Ladder for My Rooftop Tent?

    My Baroud factory ladder is a similar two piece bulky design, ie, hard to stow inside the truck. I changed to the telescoping ladder purchased on Amazon. I simply transferred Baroud's mounting hooks and riveted it to the new ladder as shown in the pic.

    Broken Baroud Tent Latch Bolt Replacment

    Does anyone know the size of the Baroud tent latch bolts? Some of mine have broken and are temporaily being held with wire. The entire latch assy cost about $15 for one to replace, but also out of stock. I figured it may be cheaper to get the bolt/nuts replaced.

    James Baroud USA and fantastic customer Service, well maybe more OK4wd.

    I have had my Baroud tent for almost 5 years. Lots of use during the seasons each year, except winter. It is still a struggle with the zipper as you mentioned with the tautness of the tent walls. In fact, I have broken a few zipper heads in my struggle to zip up the panels.

    Narrow(est) awning?

    The narrowest awning that I have found is 1.25 meter wide (49 inches). I have one mounted in the back of my Land Rover. https://www.4wheelparts.ca/p/arb-universal-awning-1250-814301/_/R-BHWQ-814301

    New 270 Awning available.

    I installed the Doghouse awning. It does indeed appear to be a very similar design to the Drifta Stockton 270 tent. For the CAN$900+ price, it offers the best value for me as someone who offroads once to twice a month during the summer and fall months. Great value for a 270-deg awning. The...

    Aluminum RTT condensation issues

    Check this out... a Baroud solar fan installed in a AluCab. The solar fan works well in my Baroud tent. I am wondering it it would be possible to mount this on your RTT. https://adventure-ready.com/rugged-and-ready-gen-3-toyota-tacoma/

    Pontianak, West Kalimantan across the equator to Balikpapan East Kalimantan.

    Great video. I used to work in Portland and travelled to Balikpapan once to twice a year. Many of my customers were in the mining business in the area. I had fond memories to going 4x4 through some remote areas in the region. Bagus!!!
