    You have multiple propane tanks because 2 is 1 and 1 is none. Always good to have backups😉. Beautiful setup!

    I have watched 10s of 100s of videos on Overland rigs, this is one of the best, if not the best setup I have seen so far. High level engineering, I only wish I was this savvy. Congratulations 👏. Soon enough I'll be hitting the trails and hopefully one day, hopefully my rig can be 50% of this one

  • @philp2889
    @philp2889 Před 3 lety +1

    I’ve generally not been a fan of toppers but for an overland set up and with drawers and the side door access, that is slick! I like that.

  • @abcantiques777

  • @DriftaholiC

    Put the levels inside the truck to match the tent's level, one less step to read them as you park for the night. Nice setup.

  • @offtrackfamily
    @offtrackfamily Před 3 lety +8

    Loved the walk around tour! We just installed gullwing windows on the rear of our truck and can't wait to test em out on our next camping trip. The levels are a cool idea!

    Dang man… I watch a lot of rig walk arounds and yours is one of the cleanest I’ve seen. Little things like your coms and tool setup on your fridge just take it to the next level. Well done

    @High_Key Před rokem +3

    Wow, I have a 4Runner TRD Off-Road that’s about 1/3 of the way complete, but you have me almost convinced I should’ve gone with a Tacoma with this truck bed set up. Fantastic stuff..I’ve seen many truck builds, but this set up will definitely stick in the back of my head if/when it comes time to get another vehicle or God forbid, replace my 4Runner.

  • @timfontenot2911
    @timfontenot2911 Před 3 lety +4

    Great video. Lots of good ideas and tips. Did the Gorilla Tape mod...game changer , no more small parts falling threw that crack between the tail gate and bed. Best simple mod ever!👍

  • @nestorluvsher
    @nestorluvsher Před 3 lety +11

    I had to come back and watch this video again. I traded my Jeep Compass for a '19 GMC Savana 2500 cargo van that was deplete of any comfort or utility storage items. I remembered your video. I'm converting this van into a camper/home with plans to visit all lower 48, Canada and Alaska. The conversion includes a 4X4 installation, wheels and KO2's, lights, solar on the roof and some type of storage box. Thule is a thought but being former military I'm leaning towards Pelican boxes or cases, used ones hopefully. I incorporated several of your ideas. I mounted several levelers inside the cargo space, in the cab area and one in the grill. I mounted several patches of velcro on my dash board and in the cargo space to have to mount work gloves, other items I need quick access to and a patch rug. All the patches I've collected are secured to a $12 rug from Walmart. I have several storage bags underneath my bed and I want to get rid of individual bags and use bins to make everything neater, organized and easy to find...and your ideas are superb. I am OCD and it's vital for me to be better organized.

  • @TheShredillac

      It does not work well in Arizona at 110 degrees. Glue heats up and everything falls off.

    Best video ever, I am pulling an 1963 airstream trailer. And now with all your ideas I can now smipplefie my set up. I was not going to use the cap but now I see a big advantages. I am not using the top tent right now but carrying a small water craft on top. Thanks again. I did subscribe and will be waiting for more videos.

    @rtwatson78 Před 2 lety +1

    I ran my fridge/power box setup similar to what you have but added solar to charge as well. On a recent cross country trip I ran into an issue where the trucks inverter was shutting off when we were in temps over 100°+. At first I just thought it was the inverter getting too hot being over the trans tunnel and shutting off but what was really happening was the fridge was surging power over 100watts (max output of inverter while driving). So the solution was just hard wiring the fridge to the power bank via a constant on DC input. (not cig port cuz those always vibrate themselves out) a constant on DC so as not to waste power with having the power banks inverter on. Then plugging the power bank into the truck inverter "permanently". This way the power bank is always 100% charged and no switching wires when stopping at camp. Now while at camp solar is charging power bank and gtg.

    @bradmizzou Před 2 lety +1

    @exrhodie1234 Před 2 lety

    Excellent video, thanks. You've almost convinced me to put a camper shell on my 2017 Tacoma TRD. Right now I have the Bakflip tonneau which is nice and still allows me to get a dirt bike in there, but the shell would provide so much more storage space. Love the way you've organized your Decked drawers too. I've subbed so I can see more!
