On October 8th, I’ll be living in my SUV (2007 4Runner V8 Limited). I was left to be homeless after being in a bad romantic relationship. I’m honestly scared to live in my SUV but after watching your video... it fired up a great sense of inspiration within me! Thank you for sharing this video! 🙏🏼
@tillallareoneluv It’s going good! Thank you for asking 🙏🏼 I agree with you! I’m not gonna use a platform. It’s doesn’t make sense to me. I have plans and I hope to share them soon! Have a great day ☺️
@@sssnipermonkey5566 GOOD LUCK. I ALSO HAVE A 4Runner. May do the same. Have two big dogs, don’t know how that would work. Lots to think about. Already made it into a micro camper for just me. That was very cool!!
I’m thinking of getting a sequoia and doing the same thing I’m a construction worker so I can build pretty much anything as I do remodeling I want to the same as well how is it going or went??
Hope y’all are doing well ❤ God bless!
I've said it before and, I'll say it again !
This young man really needs to start his own Y. T. C. ! ! !
Hi there, I saw your vid. I've been truck camping since the mid 80's. Here's what I've learned & I'll pass them on to you.
Some of this you may already have, do, or know about.
1) Get stuff you need at a camping store for backpacking. It's small, compact, & light weight.
2)Get splash guards for your truck. It'll help keep you & your rig clean. They work. I know.
3) When parking for the night, park headlong into the wind. That way if a storm comes you won't have to worry about a side wind ripping off your camper shell. Plus, if anything comes bouncing towards the truck, since you have a slimmer profile, it might miss you. If it does hit, the front of the truck is reinforced. Also when cooking you're in the lee & the wind will blow the smoke & odors out of your rig.
4) Use bug spray on the interior doors & windows/ screens openings to help keep bugs out. Use wasp & hornet spray around & on your tires to help keep critters out. Basically, all points of contact on the ground.
5) An inch is a lot of room. Learn how to stack & get used to sand & dirt. Use floor mats to put your shoes on too
6)Air out your sleeping area every morning or often. In an enclosed space the air gets stale.
7)Use a small fan to circulate the air in your sleeping area. This will help prevent hot & cold spots from forming & help prevent condensation & mold & mildew from forming.
8)Use a solid hooded sweatshirt. Draw the hood tight when you sleep to help encapsulate body heat. It can double as a pillow/ dirty clothes holder/ gear carrier etc.
I hope this helps. Great vid, thanks for sharing. Drive safe. 🤠
Very nice of you to post an update of Luke's super compact adventure traveller. This is what I am calling it! 😂
So sick! Haven't seen alot of people living on the road out of an FJ. Love the set up man
It’s so cool to see Luc doing what he loves. I met him back in Seattle last summer and he was one of the most down to earth people.
Excellent build! I am considering a rooftop tent, but this is another option. My opinion: get a 12 volt freezer/fridge: even a small one. Makes a HUGE difference. One thing you can do is keep let's say frozen steaks in there, and also make ice using ziplock backs or bottle. You can use the ice for the cooler. I just got an ARB fridge and would not go back to cooler alone.
“These solar panels are great, you set them up in the sun to charge...”
Nice use of solar panels - using the sun! 😂
Nice build my friend! I, too, have traveled the country from coast to coast in my FJ - twice! These FJs are notorious for quality. They’ll outlive any Jeep on the road that’s for sure.
I have a 2013 FJ Cruiser laid out as well. I perhaps may do a build video of what I’ve done. Here’s a few ideas for you:
Raised bed; custom shower tube that wraps the entire left/rear of the roof rack; a custom awning that runs the right side of the roof rack; a drop table attached to inside of the rear gate; a custom push rod installed to open the rear gate from the inside (looks like a door lock); interior cargo net; dual batteries with a 1500 power inverter.... this thing is laid out! It begs for a video 😁
Safe travels out there!
Please do a video. Very interested.
Man, that's so cool. Saving up for my own Fj and hoping Toyota brings it back to compete with the bronco and wangler.
Thanks for the update on Luc's conversion. Please ask Luc to do more videos.
It’s great to see another person sleeping and camping out of their FJ! J love how you have made use of the space. I’ve done a similar build on my channel 😃
Good on ya, laddie! I bought my FJ two years ago. Changed my life.
Awesome. I’m 57. I did what you are doing. I wouldn’t change a thing. All I’d say to keep it simple and short. “These are the good ol days” The shitty-est day, as long as you survive, will make a great story. You’ll tell these stories to yourself mostly but you get the point.
I see teaching, in some form, in his future......... he will have a wealth of information and life experiences to share!
If I could go back... You figured it out... you're living the right life at your age. I love the FJ Cruiser and why they stopped making it... Happy travels bruh!
It was very nice to hear from Luc and get an update. I've been a long time follower... since the original bus build, and subsequent adventures on Instagram Still, until this video I had no idea Luc was so well spoken and though-out. A very impressive build, and tour!
I love the idea of the lower lights which extend your visibility.
Cool setup. My wife and I are always looking for FJ's when we are out driving around. Hope to see Luke's FJ some day. We live in Aurora, CO.
Love this update video for Luke. Wishing Luke the best in his trip to the Tetons in his dream rig. Much love to you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Its too bad you got rid of the FJ, thats the only content on your channel I was interested in.
We still have it but you won’t get to see it. I hope you find content on YT that makes you happy.
Wise words from a young man, good work man, your life awaits!
Cheers from an old man in Canada.
You, sir, give me hope for future generations. Stay safe❤
I am a woman and have an FJ cruiser. I've been "building out" my rig for camping, on an extreme budget with no building, but leaving it all in the car. I have a lot more stuff though and wanting comfort so I have a collapsible toilet, shower/changing room, solar shower, and made the back seat my bed with an inflatable mattress made for the backseat. I'm short at 5'3" so it's not too bad. I'm not living in it. Just for camping. I think I have too much but every time I go thru all my stuff every item seems so important. For instance I have a small axe and foldable shovel, emergency supplies, etc. After looking at this build one thing I am going to do different is take my water in a 7 gallon Jerrycan rather than 1 gallon jugs that take up a lot of space.
I need a closet in my Element. Good to see your build.
Great job. Not a vehicle I would’ve expected to see “built-out.”
Get a batwing awning and aluminum rooftop water tank.
Never thought an FJ, but cool 😎
I've wanted an fj forever! Apperently in some other countries there's new FJ's. This is soooo cool!!!! I love it!!!
If Luc makes it's to southern California to joshua tree national park that's my home town. Could take him exploring in the NP. Love your guys work and watching the progress, currently in the slow and steady procession with my van. And been looking for a skoolie too 😬 lol
Practicality and simplicity first, you young man and your grandfather have great taste in vehicles, the knowledge you've learned is invaluable and only those that do, will understand, 😉👍🙏
Awesome build. I have a 19 y/o son that I wish I could inspire to travel and no start college yet. I’m going to show his this video right away.
That’s awesome and I know Luc would love that!
Everything needed indeed. Really well thought out. Well done. Live small, travel big. 👏🏽🇨🇦🚌🇨🇦👏🏽
Thanks for the update. I watched the build and was hoping we'd get to see the results in application. Safe travels Luke - share the adventures.
Just 21. Wow!
What a wonderful mini SUV camper:) A couple of questions. How do you keep the books from falling out? Potty? Where do you put your dirty clothes?
Beautiful FJ
That build turned out pretty incredible. Looks like it fits all Luc needs and wants, so major score for him. Safe travels Luc!! Kinda miss him on the bus bus build now though. Look like Christina needs to step up and fill his void....just sayin' Christina.
This stuff looks awesome! I’ve always wondered if everything just rattles like crazy going down the trails?
Im curious how he meets people and earns money (think boats were mentioned?) when traveling so much. I bet he's full of life experiences. Its amazing to see someone so young with their life seemingly that pulled together and so independent. Thanks for sharing the awesome video. I liked the part about respecting deer.
Also could someone explain how that kind of solar panels work? You leave them out 12 hrs overnight while sticking around in or near your vehicle (so not stolen) and hope it doesn't rain? Or are they waterproof? Sounds like couldn't work for urban stealth campers and neither could this kind of cooking or the outdoor solar showers some do. But I can see how it could be good for people who only or mostly stick to parks, land, campgrounds.
Luc's livin' the dream!
Okay, I’ll keep my Jeep, but this did give me some great ideas to improve my own build out! Thanks.
Haha. Glad to see it! Build out the Jeep.
I have a 2008 fj. I recently built my first bed in it. Im just starting out on my build so i really apprciate what youve done and you sharing it with us. 💜
Ma’am, you’re welcome.
Did you ever watch Midnight Express (1978) so probably not, but you should! Those antlers reminded me of the end of the warden... in a rear end collision.
I subscribed I’ll be doing this with a truck but the kind of truck will stay a mystery until I reveal it in my channel 🤙 keep up the great content
Beautiful, thought-out build and rig! Wish you the best and please post more videos! 👍👍
Thanks for posting the update. Glad he's doing well.
Hey brother thanks for sharing your adventure man very inspiring encouraged by what you're doing I'm much older than you but looking to do a similar path keep it up man stay safe and take care
Good onya, buddy, excellent build and excellent endeavor!
Great stuff! Glad you figured out early on you didn’t need college. Some people are born to start their own businesses. Safe travels Luc and Mikey✌🏼
Thinking about just doing this.
Great build! Even better presentation!
Great showing and kudos to you fellow FJ owner!
How do you make money though
Check out Idaho. Moab Utah and grand junction colo for boating. Ketchum Idaho if you need to work. Lotta rich folks (sun valley ski area).
Drill some air holes for the Jackery. Nice build, brother.
The paracord net is awesome 😎
I’ve always loved the looks of the FJ and you have accompanied a great build 🏆. Good luck with all your adventures 👍👍👍
This is going to sound weird, but was Luc in Rhode Island this last weekend? Because I swear I thought I saw him in Jamestown. I saw someone who I couldn't place how, but really thought I recognized. It was only after the fact that I said, wait a minute, that's the guy from this channel, and I know he's been in Newport in the past what with the Newport Shipyard sticker being on his Yeti mug.
He was in the area but I don’t think he still is.
Haha that was me 🤙🏼
Utah is the place man
Great update on the functionality of the FJ build.
Nice build, happy for you getting out there and enjoying life!
I love your setup! I’m currently traveling in my Jeep Renegade but looking to upgrade to something bigger soon. Thanks for sharing! This was very helpful.
That is one sick rigged I need to do something similar to my 4 runner
What a cool build! You guys knocked it out. Awesome!
Love your set up bro
So happy for the update tour of Luke’s rig. Praying for traveling mercies for you Luke. God Bless!
Yeah, this vehicle is genius! 😎👍🏻
Now I see in the description, that Luc is spelled Luc and not Luke 😯😱 and I apologize for spelling the name wrong until now!
Nice FJ. I'm looking at the 4runner for myself. I want to start going on little adventures in the future.
Great build and fun vehicle. Can you add some tarp on roof racks over the doorways so if rain or snow you won't get so wet? Love the carpet idea!
How do you pay for all this ? Travel and camp all over sure would be nice, but $$$
Already heavy vehicle + Lifted FJ = Gas sucker.
The info is everywhere, google it
Amazing build you guys! Thank you for sharing!
AWESOME built! Thanks for sharing.
that is cool very well done awesome 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦
How did you get any thumbs down?
Who doesn't like Luc and Mike?
My favorite guys on CZcams.
277kne I’m guessing people who wonder how they pay for all this with no job?? Lol. My mom and dad won’t support me anymore. Hahahaha
@@graystone3048 Maybe they saved up some money. And CZcams pays.
Great build now go have fun! Congrats!
Hehe watched the tour with the number Juan bus lol loved it
This is badass! Love it
Can you direct me where you had the fj cruiser custom build out done. Incredible use of space. I’m interested in contacting this person for work if they are interested in my build.
Incredible video explained very well. Thank you.
I'm here for it. This is the exact vehicle I'm saving up for now. Preferably the 6 speed manual too. This is great
Really cool I want to do the same thing with my life
OK How do I ask this? I see Luke has a "FRIEND" in some of the clips? dose she "travel" with him? Dose she have her own rig? I ask because I do not see a "guest bed room" in the tiny house, Great build BTW, thanks!!
I was thinking the same thing. When she comes along I’m assuming they must set up a tent.
Love your set up mate 🤟
Living the dream. Congratulations
Awesome!!
Great video so happy for him doing what he wants living the dream
Love that build, Is it comfortable sleeping two people ? I love the new look, seems like its a better design. At 21 .... enjoy life now, do what you can, go as many places as you can. You'll be able to look back and say wow that was great. The story's will be the best. Good Luck
Cool ride! Enjoy
Doing something similar with my FJ, also a 2010. More of a part time stealth camp situation on long trips so I don't need the elaborate build you did, more maximum sleeping room type of deal. That front slide is genius and haven't been able to figure how to do this without hinges until I saw that. Stock lighting sucks on the FJs! So, having slept in the FJ a couple of times, how do you get in and out? Can't access the front door very easily and no way to open the rear door. I can leave the rear window popped open(actually have a mod to secure it open for windows down driving but not for dusty roads) but bugs can get in. Thinking of modding a interior lever seen elsewhere on YT but I travel with dogs and don't want them opening the door so it'll require a knob instead of the push button lever release.
Luc needs a channel.
Amazing insight into how to overland your FJ. How do you get into your bed and have your rear door and window open or get out of your suicide doors? I was thinking that’s a tight fit for sleeping. Thank you for sharing.
Super pumped, I recently became an FJ owner! I have 2 questions. I didn't see any gas containers in your build, how do you calculate the amount of gas you need before heading up a trail. Second, how do you locate these amazing spots to sleep at?
Great build! Congrats. What did you do, if any to compensate for all that weight? Power loss , overall ride etc.
Such a neat rig. Thanks for sharing.
I love your SUV home Luke! :) Have you thought about living in a mini bus, or a mini truck in the future?
Luc will be building an ambulance or bus this summer.
@@navigationnowhere How exciting!
Fabulous life style!
Thank you for sharing 😊
I’m very happy for you. Nice. Stay safe
I would like to see him get in and out the FJ for the sleep mode,?
How do afford to live nomadically for extended periods of time?
Be rich
Online work and a portable wifi. or save for a period
Lots of people do the Beet Harvest and Amazon and then travel the rest of the year.
Save money and pay things off. After the cars payed off your only expenses are food water gas and your phone and insurance
Nice build out. What type of mileage do you get? Please don't speak so fast, Luc. It difficult to understand you. Thank you for the video. Have a blessed day
