Both tents are great, however I would recommend the 23Zero. The build quality and materials seem to be better, plus it comes with lights and shoe bags. You can also get the tent in either driver or passenger side opening configurations. The main reason I did all this to start was so I could use a 180 23Zero Awning on the drivers side. The X Frame allows plenty of room for the awning to fully deploy even with a mid-height bed rack.
On another note I did replace the mattress with an EXPED.

A new Darche Eclipse 180 Versatile Awning with all the sides.
A 270 awning is unsuitable due to the tailgate and spare carried on the back. I also had concerns about the weight of the 270 awnings and the standard Eclipse 180 awning hence the reason I opted for the versatile which is 2/3rds size of the standard eclipse 180 awning.
Very happy with it. Totally enclosed it you use all the sides and suitable to fit a wood stove for my winter trips in the snow and mountains.
Specifications at the bottom after the pictures for anyone interested.

A better look, sorta, of how the 180 works with the tent. This wasn't possible with the IKamper.

A brand new 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon to start a new build and will be putting a deposit down on an Alu-Cab Canopy Camper tomorrow. Ordered a Long Range America Aux Fuel tank, Heavy duty Dobinson's suspension, and a number of other items for the Gladiator.

i have around 40 knives for camping/cooking because when one gets dull, i have to buy another. i have several sharpening set ups and after decades of not being able to sharpen a knife with any of them...i watched ANOTHER youtube vid and just bought this so hopefully i can go on our next trip and be able to fry a slice of SPAM that doesnt look like it was sliced with a sledgehammer...
wish me luck
UPDATE: came in a couple days ago and works amazingly well. sharpened 6-7 knives in about 20 minutes and they are sharp. apparently this is the same company that makes the Drill Doctor, which is very well made and ive been using mine for 15 yrs now. if you suck at sharpening knives, this will work

A rear ladder to reach into my rack. I’m short.
Now I want to upgrade my shocks and suspension and new tires.

Just bought a second 100 ah battery, next up is probably either a 2000 w inverter or new front Coilovers. My current ones are slightly overloaded and I’ll need new ones for when I add the winch and bumper.

Replaced the cheap, broken after 3 weeks, cross bars with this TMS set. Bad news is I can no longer use the bed cover. Good news is, static limit is 800lbs.

How do you like it? I’ve been considering one for my 07 Sequoia also.

It's awesome. Very well built, easy to deploy, and retrieve. My only concern was how well the cover would hold up in the Texas sun since the Sequoia sits outside all the time, so I contacted OVS support, and they replied that the cover material was such that it would last a very long time. I think the price is very reasonable considering the quality of the awning and how much it adds to our enjoyment of camping.
