- Heading out for another solo camp in the Toyota Tacoma truck camper! Got a new addition to the rig that is going to make camping an absolute joy. Found a new camping spot that I have not yet been to and its definitely not your traditional campground, but a blast doing some truck camping, cooking and fishing. Enjoy folks, thanks for being here!

Anker is a legit brand and specializes in power banks, cords, etc honestly I would take them over jackery
I’m beyond impressed with it so far. They clearly put a lot of thought into its design and ease of use! The stoke is real!
So glad to see other people from Alabama truck camping. Mobile area here
Headed your way in a couple months, was debating on doing some truck camping! Any good spots down here? Feel free to hmu on IG so you don’t have to publicize the secret spots 😂 @elevated.media
Camping with Steve style breaking out the step 2
Always sending love to Mr Wallis!
My wife and I always get Taco love when we’re out! That’s a familiar occurrence to have people seek it out haha
Love to hear it! The tacos deserve it haha!
I don’t know what setup your using now but you can wire your camping battery to your truck charging system so that when the battery is drained you can crank the truck for a few minutes to let it charge and it will not affect your primary battery you use to start the truck
That is a wonderful idea! Something like a wall outlet plug to a positive and negative clamp?
That's a good call. My brother has a van set up with multiple lithium batteries. His purchase of solar according to him was a waste of money. I don't know the ins and outs of his set up but his batteries charge when driving.
Truck does look great. Normally don't like camper shells on trucks, but with the roof bar, it compliments it.
Looked like a great trip.
I’m in the same boat with the camper shells. The roof rack definitely evened out the top a bit, but still not sold on the shell I have
Great video.
Fishing always seems to have its ups and downs . We fish for Brook Trout and Stripped Bass quite a bit. It's always nice just to get out and enjoy nature.
Thank you, and thank you for tuning in! Haven’t caught any striped bass yet but it’s on my list! Any special type of bait you use for them?
@@ConnorLee we catch and use Mackerel for our Bass bait. Works pretty well.
Great choice of vehicle and nice build!, look forward to your future videos!.
Thank you on many different levels! Glad you’re enjoying it and more camping coming soon!
I sold the camper shell I built last year for my Tacoma but have plans for another build hopefully will be sharing soon. Can't wait to get it started 😁
Looking forward to hearing about it! Different style shell or something totally new?
@@ConnorLee we will have to wait and see lol. Stay tuned
Hey man I just came across you channel man and became a new sub. Really enjoyed the new solar generator as I’m looking to purchase one. Love the truck as well man. Hey was all have a spell of not catching fish lol. I’m fro south Louisiana and that was a dead garfish I don’t eat them because they are not that tasty lol and have to be cooked certain way. Well looking forward to the next one and safe travels man
Welcome! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! I had a feeling it was a gar and yeah I can see how cooking would be interesting just based on how tough it’s skin was.
Let's go! Fresh new gear and things to add to the set up is always exciting. New sub here but been enjoying the videos man! Tuning in from Canada, Keep em' comin' !!🤘👍
Hey Northern friend! Welcome to the family and love to hear your enjoying it!
Looks like you're in the southeastern TN area near Chattanooga. I live in Cleveland just a little northeast and a county over in Bradley. I usually just camp in Polk county out past Lake Ocoee. We used to have good spots on the Jack's River roundabout but they ruined the private ones. Usually head out past the Ocoee River around I think Dam #3 is where you cross. It's been a bit and I don't do summer camping in the heatstroke inducing hellhole weather we have. Fall and winter only I own two 99 model CRV's that are perfect if you're 5'9". I have wanted your truck set up for a long time but man even 5 years ago the resale value on late 90's Tacoma's extended cab 3.4 V6 4wd with 6' bed was extremely high. I think they've gained value since.
I would have to agree on the resale value! I believe mine has gone up since owning and adding miles to the odometer. Not sure I’ll ever sell it, but in the meantime, it gets good oem parts where it needs it and I plan to keep babying it through its life. Cheers!
@@ConnorLee That's the truck that everyone wants. I have friends with drastically newer Taco's that run into different issues that you won't see on a 1st gen. The fact that the brand new ones are all turbo 4 cylinders is really sad. Shit it's pathetic those motors will not last.
those decals are looking good!😄
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Awesome content brotha! Keep up the good work! Haha Haha what are the chanes of another extra cab Toyota Tacoma pulling up in the background in the video
Thank you! Got some more camping videos coming to you in the que!
Only fishing practice here. 😅
Casting practice haha
Why didn’t you just patch the holes in the kayak?
I still have it and plan to do so, just figured it was a good time to upgrade since I’m fishing a lot more rocky bottom rivers where I live now. A lot more access with a hardbody kayak, but the inflatable will be salvaged with some JB weld soon!
What's the make/model of the cap you have? And what's the max interior height, and minimum?
I believe it’s an old leer 122 and if I removed the wooden buildout it is probably 4 ft at its tallest 3 ft at its shortest if I was making an accurate guesstimate. Taller towards the lift glass and shorter towards the cab of the truck 🤘🏼
@@ConnorLee Many thanks.
What kind of tires zize you have how many inches its lift?
33" tires and a 2inch suspension lift
Love your rig, man! My build is pretty similar. I have the same truck and topper combo and CANNOT get the shell to quit leaking during rain/washing. Was wondering if you've had the same issue and/or been able to fix it.
Where is it leaking from?
@@ConnorLee Seems to be the gasket between the bed rails and the topper, but could also be the back of the bed as well. I replaced all the seals and that helped for a little bit but I think it gets wiggled around on bumpy roads or something. Windows got new butyl tape and are solid though!
@@dee-here-now I use 2 packs of the truck topper tape from home depot. It's grey in color. I do 2 layers on the bed rails and 3 layers on the part closest to the cab of the truck, overlapping all of the corners.
what state do you live in?!?
sick garage/spot
TN, thanks it’s not too bad!
Man, I have the same Anker and just got that same panel, but the connector from the panel won’t even come close to fitting in the generator, I see you got yours in no big deal, did you modify yours?
Thinking about splicing the Solix’ ‘car adapter’ plug (solar end) onto the end of the panel’s wire
I had to pick up an adapter. Here is the link to the one I purchased:

@@ConnorLeeomg perfect! thanks bud, I saw the shot of yours plugged in and I’m like, there ain’t no way! 😂
What kind of camper topper is this?
I believe it is an old Leer 122 but I have not found any markings on it to confirm this
How big this tacoma
6 foot bed extended cab!
