Thanks heaps! I designed and built the bed platform. The legs are table legs from a local hardware store. Hope that helps!

Technically the seats haven’t been deleted, the seat backs and seatbelts are still in place, just folded down. The seat bases have been removed, but the whole thing can be reverted. Have never had an issue passing rego with the platform in place.

Hi there, I tried to find a link, but wasn’t able to find them as we purchased a few years ago. From the 4 panels, we have been able to get a pretty consistent 45amps out of them in the sun. If you are buying for the FJ, my advice would be to go for some higher voltage panels and a Victron MPPT controller.

Thanks for watching! The car has a 2” OME lift kit in it, the tires are the stock size (I think they are 31” and the tires are Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T’s

This is a platform I designed and built myself. The front section can be removed if needed to return it to a 5 seater.

@BakedInMyCar thanks for the response would you have the plans for this design

@camkaze2 any plans are long gone unfortunately, but I do have plenty of photos. If you send me a dm on instagram @bakedinmycar id be happy to answer questions

Thanks heaps!

This fed 5 of us easily. With a working oven, this would have been mint!

The seat bases are removed, but the backs are laid down flat. The reason for this is so that the front section of the drawer can be removed and the seats replaced easily.

The screen is a raspberry pi running VenusOS connected to all of the Victron equipment. All of the Victron devices connect together using VE.Direct. I am thinking about making a video about how it is all set up at some point.

@@BakedInMyCar that would be awesome! id love to make one but ive never played around with a raspberry pi before, does the screen use much battery to run?

You can also buy a readymade unit from Victron, but it is more expensive. The pi doesn’t draw much at all, along with the WiFi network running in the car, the whole setup uses about 0.6amps an hour.

Let us know how it goes! The DCS lithium bank replaces the starter and Aux battery with one bank. So technically I am using the starter!

Haha I literally just unpacked it and you replied. Trying to figure out how to turn it off...

@2adventure_oz921 it seems to stay in a flashing standby mode as it cools down. It will only draw power while there is a pan on it.

Ah cheers, Google translate didn't help much lol

Wouldn’t dream of it! The last few videos haven’t been as oven centric as I’ve been playing with inverters and appliances, but the oven still gets its fair share of use!

Thanks heaps! The toaster is also off the inverter, so that factored into the power usage.

The glass we used was 6mm. Good luck!

It has around 240,000km on it at the moment, still going strong!

Thanks! That’s what it’s all about 😁

Thanks for watching and for the heads up about cold brew! I’ve never explored cold brew, any tips to get me started?

look up hario cold brew 1L. Difference with cold brew, great for camping as no power required and the coffee is less bitter and smoother. There are multiple ways of doing it (cold drip such as the dripster) but you wont regret it. @@BakedInMyCar

and the rest can go in the fridge for iced coffees.

I’ll check it out! That sounds great 👌🏼 thanks for the tips!

My dad has the same glind setup in his FJ, it’s a great idea and something I would love to look into in the future. I would probably have gone this option, had I not won the geyser systems in a raffle. Sounds like you have your FJ setup dialed in!

Yeah it's pretty well setup, just "need" to get more lithium 😂

They have been mostly fine. About 2 years 10 months into my warranty, one of the batteries had a BMS problem. never once was I left stranded, the car started even when I could tell something was wrong. I run a fridge and freezer 24/7 and drove about 70,000km with those batteries. DCS came to the party and covered it under warranty, replaced both batteries and gave me the chance to a newer higher capacity model. So overall pretty happy.

I usually keep the back window open a few inches in the summer with fan circulating and during the winter I open the drivers and passengers windows a crack. Hasn’t been a huge issue in the 4 years I’ve had the bed setup

Thanks! Let me know how you go. After the experience we had removing our skylight, I feel that a heat-gun would have been of little to no use (more than happy be proven wrong). Most of the original sealant had gone brittle and anything you see in the video that is still flexible is most likely remnants of other repairs. Please keep us updated on how you go with your 393!

Thanks heaps! If you end up getting one, make sure to share what you end up doing with it!

Glad I could help provide some inspiration!

I’ve also leaned away from the roof top tent, I think being inside is a lot more versatile

Thanks heaps! If you want to see some pics of it as it goes together, feel free to send me a message on instagram @bakedinmycar

Thanks heaps! I find having a place for everything really helps, otherwise when you go away everything gets messy as. That being said, it still can get a bit messy on a long trip away 😅

Wow, did not know that. Any pictures of it? Thanks

@@bradberry1083 I don’t have any pictures, but I could take some. My FJ is a bit of a mess right now. Did you want some pics?

Never even thought of doing that, nice solution!

@@desertpunk6705 I would also love to see pics of this! I sleep inside my FJ on a mattress, but this hamock idea sounds intriguing!

Thanks mate! Last time I weighed it (full of camping gear with full water and fuel tank) it was 2460kg. So not too bad for an FJ.

@@BakedInMyCar yep, always a consideration in the FJ... but hey, we wouldn't want any other vehicle! 😁👍🍻

The setup works for me and their after sales support has been stellar.

After we did the pavlova, we thought it was time to give a regular cake a crack! We were up at Hawks nest, camped at Stuart and Lloyd’s campground. A really nice little spot. Thanks for sticking around and watching, I’m aiming to try and start making videos more regularly. Life kinda got in the way over the last year 😅

Quick and easy is always my preferred way for food while camping, more time to enjoy the place im camped at 😊

Was an unexpected detour, unfortunately it meant that dessert turned into morning tea 😅
