Love your channel! I have a lot of respect for your ability to figure things out and be creative with solutions to challenges that come your way. I’m just getting started with building my own camping vehicle and I’m starting out with what I have, to see if I want to pursue that lifestyle in the future or stick with a more traditional lifestyle. I’m 67 and retired with a background in construction and structural engineering, so I usually do DIY projects instead of buying finished products wherever possible, or practicable.
Great rig and historical explainer, was nice meeting you guys, looking forward to seeing the more recent upgrades. -CP
Someone's getting ideas for his tundra I see aha.
Unexpected nostalgia - I miss my old Lincoln MarkVIII, such a good ride. Even if it was a boat :)
What an awesome couple.
Loved getting to hear the back story. It’s so easy to think this all came together in a year, encouraging to hear its been years in the making. Nice team work you two!
How much is your new off road suspension rated for?
17,500lbs
@@Everlanders Thank you!
You guys took inspiration from that couple that you met. You are now giving others inspiration as well. I am inspired by you. Thank you.
WOW! Happy Trails to ya.
Amaizing. Do you have a background in engineering?
You really went all out with the design in solid works and also the electrical aspect of the build is even more intriguing
I can´t words ....
wow!
I feel ya, words are hard!
Really enjoyed the story - you are an inspiration to all of us who what to escape the box we have put ourselves in. Thank you for sharing.
We escaped the box to live in a more different box!
love this story, very inspiring.
Great story and info, thanks for sharing!
Great couple! Great build! Wow
Fantastic - thank you for sharing your adventure
Cheers
You guys are awesome!
One awesome build.
you guys are so inspirational!! cheers from northern alberta!!
Great story! Thanks for sharing!
Extremely cool
Just found you guys! You are great together & have great ideas & knowledge. Fantastic video that got my engines revving. TY
Crap, I blinked. You win.
Just found your channel, will be going through the library.
Subscribed and liked.
Cheers from B.C.
Amazing and inspiring work of art you created! Bravo!
Awesome story and project...
Talent and dedication rule!
I've picked up a couple little ideas from your videos that will save me a lot of time in both design and build when it's my turn soon. Thanks for putting in the work to put this great education put there.
Really cool to see your story and how much you guys grew!
Just subscribed to your channel. You guys are awesome!
I am so glad ,l came across you guys . Thanks !
Great Inspiration 👍
Thanks so much for filming and posting your story... I gotta say, it's great to see the technical stuff and making, but it is also really nice to see the positive dynamic of your relationship shine through - a real encouragement of how to work together as a couple to get a common goal completed! Keep shining bright and hope to see you on the road someday if you ever make it to Australia! We are about to build a remote off road caravan (trailer) so might take your example and do a youtube on it. All the best!
What a sweet couple all the best...
Thanks for sharing 👍
As you can tell, I am binge watching. I had to do a double take after the chassis failure comments and following picture. That was funny!
Awesome video well done as always wow awesome build very well done wow 🇨🇦🛠🇨🇦🇨🇦
Love your work, It’s a great story. I think you’ve made a great home away from home. I suspect windows would make a great addition 😋 particularly in the great places you go. I have a 1976 Kombi camper so no 4WD but still have been in some Amaizing places in it. Looking forward to seeing more of your story.
You Two R awesome 😊 Your showing everybody that it can be done, little by little 👍 Iam glad it was far enough along that you used the rig on the big 10 years anniversary Congratulations, I love the photos you post Thanks 👍
Great stuff!!!!! Love the way you think! We just subscribed after stumbling on your pneumatic 8 panel solar setup!! I was thinking on the same line with panels that double as an awning as they extend and tilt to a ray catching & blocking angle!! Thought I didn't think pneumatic..... but now I am!!
Nice!
Great videos and nice job on the backstory... I’ve been mentally-planning my own self build for a while now and have taken inspiration from across the web. I think I’m honing-in on a medium-size 4x4 chassis truck with a self-build cabin now! The subframe suspension / isolation is one of the biggest questions I’ve been pondering so was interested to hear you talk about that. Might need to investigate pneumatic solutions now... thanks again for your videos. Enjoyed your story and they’re great content.
Very impressive work , fantastic job and thank you for the videos!! As you can tell by the Chevy Avatar I'm not a Ford fan only because of difficulties and expenses I've had with their diesels but the truck is beautiful as well!
Awesome story you two. I love that you are working together towards the common goal and putting most everything into this build to really enjoy your lives and create tons of memories. Forge ahead and keep the videos coming!
The story is quite a bit more exciting now... czcams.com/video/u6humPsniBc/video.html
Thanks for all the video's from South Africa. Very informative reference point. Another camper that I find equally informative is Uro Camper
That's a beast of a truck!
Wow I'm watching these totally out of order, but this one makes a heap of the others make more sense. The build is amazing no mater where I look, its all so damn impressive
Thanks for the clarification on how you mounted your box. Love the use of existing off the shelf parts.
We also are emulating some of the experience from Turtle 5. Actually 1-5 :-). In so doing we purchased springs from their original spring supplier of choice. Unfortunately they have gone flat and so has the business. (National Springs). I assume they found a new company. If you end up pleased with your spring purchase please let us know who the supplier is. We are ready to remake the investment.
You guys are a cute couple and inspiring. Thanks for the time it takes to post your videos. It’s appreciated.
You guys are awesome! Living my dream!
It looks like you are well on your way to living your dream too!
Everlanders SO close! But my maiden voyage made me realise that I need more power for fans because it is HOT in the van at night. So I'm stuck at home base while I install some solar panels ):
Great job on the truck! I have a 7.3 on my 1999 F 250 that I want to convert! Work on the solar system now. Now I’m thinking about upgrading my rig! Baja bound soon! Can’t wait to watch more of your videos!
Baja!!! czcams.com/video/t0h4vmtvGeM/video.html
Wow - Ever since I found your channel, I have been following you guy’s intently. I had no idea you guys are from Canada. I am from Toronto and am working on my own build. Slow and steady as you guys have said. Keep up the great work! You have some serious skills everyone can learn from. Thank you and all the best!
Thanks for the kind words! 👊
Super cool. Great looking build. We are back in the states after using our first self-built camper for a long trip. Now we will take what we have learned and build a new camper simular-ish to yours. I just showed Matt this video and he says he has talked to you on the forums. That solar set-up is crazy cool.
Thanks Amie! We watched your trip from the beginning! Funny that I've talked to Matt not even knowing it. We're excited to test the solar too! It will be another month before the snow melts around here. :-(
Now that was Awesome , I`m sure there will be more Really Good photography.The Mountian an Duck is good shooting. I never thought I get to see this much of the Build And I signed on Hoping so. I have a lot of video`s to watch so I`ll make note of questions untill later. Stuff like the transmission ratio and why pressure air thats for later .I `m kind of new a put my thinking together about what I want (need)as a Rig .I Hate Dedt its a bad master.Saving up is giving me time to think things though .Today U have 26.7 K subs what a powerful lesson.Your doing it. God Bless you with all His very Best.
Love the Truck and love the technology! Saw the TurtleV last year and you picked an excellent vehicle to emulate! Looking forward to the progress!
Thanks Bill! We are looking forward to meeting the Turtle V one day and seeing how we stack up...
...and start a Turtle Club.
We passed you a few kilometres back near. North Battleford and being curious about your rig, we watched the back story on CZcams. Well done you two. Perseverance and creativity and patience pay off.
Thanks!
Cool seeing the evolution of your rig and how you naturally built it as your needs emerged
...and it's still evolving!
You two are fucking awesome! Love your videos
Hello guys, I'm a New Zealander and looking at building an expedition camper. I have been a 4 wheeler/camper for many years and built race cars and off road competition vehicles. I'm under no illusion on what it takes to build these things and you guys are doing a great job so I look forward to further progress. Cheers Leon from NZ
Time and having a goal. 👍 . I'm in a 63 VW bus with lots of mods for camping . Your set up is great and I'm going to copy lots . time is running out so a utility box and camper. .
700 -1,000 subs and now 10,000 ! ! ! ! Way to go and great info to all.
THANKS for people like YOU (both) :)
Amazing, Isn't it?
cool stuff guys , im jealous of that rig
terrific job congratulations nice job
Given the DIY cabin, power plant, PV array and such I do believe this is the nicest overlander I've ever seen.
Me too! 😁
I started at the beginning of your videos and they're great!! Can't wait to be caught up! Well done and thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for subscribing... I think your the first person who's said they're watching them all through chronologically... I'd be interested to hear all your comments!
I'm 2 days behind also watching in order!
@@bramick so binge worthy right? Fun and informative!
Very! Very Cool Folks. I am a dedicated subscriber.
Very nice video guys, thanks for sharing! Although, now I feel a little insignificant with my Micro RV Project. Oh well... baby steps "as they say".
You guys are great.done a fabulous job and it looks great without windows.
We agree! 😂
I Just found your channel and im very glad i did, this build is truly impressive
Glad to have you aboard!
Found the details of the box mounting here. Lots of good info here, thanks.
Yup, was just about to send you this video...
@@Everlanders also answered my questions about the uhmw pe👍
Am inspired by you...
NICE GOING
You guys are cool. keep up the videos, I just subscribed.
Thanks for the invite to check out your build, very impressive and you two are great. Definitely subscribing.
Awesome, Thanks Paul! (Watch the "Kara's Cuts to see all the glamor shots and Drone Video of the Camper Truck) (This is a good one - czcams.com/video/rcVMG6K1CDo/video.html )
Everlanders it says that link is broken.
Whoops, The Bracket broke the link, Fixed now... czcams.com/video/rcVMG6K1CDo/video.html
I love love love it and am starting to build one on a f350 and love your style. You two are inspirational and very talented.
The 350's don't have flat frame rails and you'll need to be very, very careful about weight.
@@Everlanders W, thanks for your reply. I understand this completely. I have been searching for appropriate panel system. Not sure if you made yours or not. I remember watching a show where someone(I think yours) made their own but couldn't find it again. Im looking more for a bug out vehicle than a complete overland like yours. Your a very talented person and hope mine will look and feel as good as yours looks.
Love the fact you used a scale model to experiment with shapes. I thought the same thing, to do some modifications for my 2013 crew-cab 2500HD Silverado 4x4. But I have not found anyone selling kits of this model Chevy pickup.
This past Summer and Spring I took Solidworks at local tech college. It's a great program, but expensive.
Try Autodesk Fusion360, there is free option for non-commercial use (status at July 2020)
New here. Thanks again
Thank you for the information. Please keep the blogs coming. How has the camper done in the cold of the great white north? ;-)We are rebuilding a Sprinter RV to take us on adventure many no the off roading like you but First Mexico then Europe will be on our list. Good luck with you adventure. I love the tech you have put into you build.Thom
Well, we still have snow in April and it's already snowing in October, But we still take it out from March to November... In the dead of winter it's -30 -40c and at those temps it's more an exercise in survival then enjoyment.
It was quite heartwarming to hear the backstory and how you worked up to this not only over multiple years, but through 2 other camping rigs. Wow! One little note I have is that _kilometres_ is pronounced just like "nanometres", not like "thermometers", because it's a unit and not a device. A "kilometer" would come in handy in you wanted to track how many bears you slayed, or something like that.
Tell that to my Odometer 🤣
First I want to say that I was turned on to your channel by Jydog. I'm so glad he mentioned y'all because u Sir have some skills!
Oh boy! I'm exhausted just thinking of all that work u put into that AMAZING truck.
I can't imagine how u feel.
Supper sweet rig. My favourite part is how u took your time and did only what u could afford when u could afford and used the truck just the same. That is really an excellent lesson for anybody who wants to build a
"quality" rig the first time around.
Really really nice truck guys. Well done
I'm curious... what do u do for a living?
We're CZcamsrs now... 😁
I've been binge watching your vids. I absolutely love the truck. And you guys of course. The smart engineering and design are as elegant as I've seen anywhere.
You dont need a window, you have that nice big monitor. A good security camera with remote gimbal, or one one each side, will give you your choice of views with the added benefit of being able to check the surrounding area if necessary. IR would be a neat bonus, lol.
We have IR, Thermal and Visible Light Cameras! Thanks for watching!
@@Everlanders That's awesome. If it's covered in one of the videos I didn't catch it. Otherwise I'd love to see a video that covers it, so long as it doesn't compromise your security.
I just recently came across y’all in my feed, and man and am I impressed! I own a small fabrication company and am building my e350 currently. Y’all are awesome! Keep doing videos!!!!
First, thank you for sharing your build : ) DIY builds like this are not that common. I think that some of the issues with the foam core come from the Dowboard surface. I am thinking the composite delaminates if the surface is not prepped right. Some score it with a brush. I am aware that Styromax and others use a special board, not available here, which has no coating on the surface. Their results are good.
Subscribed. Lots of great info and a well done video. Ok, the dude could smile more but the wife makes up for it. :-) Good job folks.
I'll do better...
@@Everlanders just busting yer chops, my amigo from up North. Hope to run into y'all in Moab or somewhere in Southwest USA some day.
I see your panel brand on the hard sides trailer was Everlander!
I am from India .. I like your truck
I've started traveling with my Ford Mondeo combi where I could sleep overnight for three-for nights, just like you...did I just see my future in this video?? :)
the picture by 18.10 - wow ist realy big camper and big tires :) and a little happy girl :) Sorry my bad English (
it’s so fun listening to you talk about how you found about overlanding, it’s so different for everyone. Btw, what’s the wheelbase on the truck? 165in? Or 201in?
Thanks, she's a 165"
Slide out solar is a fantastic idea! Your truck is full of inspiration!!
Question:
What is the light weight interior panelling you put on the dinette etc? Watched a couple videos and couldnt find it..
Thank you and keep up the good work/live!
Baltic Birch, stained with sun bleached stain...
Very inspirational project! I still have many episodes to catch up on.
I'm trying to get an idea of scale. Would you share the inside dimensions of your fancy box?
I'm seeing just shy of 5K subscribers;)
Pretty Great hey? Get your questions in now!
i to am building a 2000 e35 7.3 powerstoke box truck in to a motorhome i live in london ontario canada just came across your site and am totally speechless adout your build very impressed
Thanks so much... I hope our videos are helpful!
41" tire Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit damn thought my 33's on the landy were big lol
watched 3 vids new sub here:)
Been wanting a vehicle like this but finding the frame in Europe isn't so easy unless you have a massive budget, So I am using land rover discovery 2 and a gordigear Roof tent works great and love it, but I know I will want the creature comforts at somepoint like your vehicle, Greeting from a Canuck living in Europe
Would love to chat with y’all about your build. I have so many questions. I’m wanting to do my own build.
the american dream!
I'm so happy I found your channel. Truly amazing work! Your videos on the aluminum work and fiberglass have been extremely helpful. I am currently trying to decide between the F series Fords or the surplus Stewart and Stevenson m1078 for my platform. Thanks for the motivation!
Hi Guys. Loving your channel. Would you mind sharing the part number for those Energy Suspension poly body mounts?
9-4102R was the model number we used, but we've since swapped them out for custom made Delrin bushings. You can see these in the video where we reinstalled box. czcams.com/video/lpzkHvQA-t8/video.html
Awesome. Thanks for the heads up! I'll watch the reinstall video.
Question, have you thought about using bullet resistant windows? Sometimes you can find them used from old banks and such, btw awesome build! and thanks for sharing.
Neat! If you really needed windows, they may be something to look into. My first impression is that they are heavy and offer no insulation and thus would be a huge thermal bridge. But for us, we kinda love not having windows, so it's not on the list right now.
Hello watch and fallow you r build it is very inspirational and i finding myself planning a build in the future i would like to know where did you find the front clip with bulging fenders or what make are they
These where made my McNeil Racing.
Hi, I love your videos. thank you so much. you're very talented but I was soooooo disappointed I didn't totally understand how your anti torsion works. I saw some done on unimog. but never seen your setup before. can you explain again why you put the yellow stuff and how the nematic bags work. are they in the back, front? how much pressure do you put in them during off road.
I can't explain it any clearer than that ...
What do you do for a living? For you to have so much knowledge.
Your occupation does not govern how much knowledge you gather.
