Great build, I love seeing DIY campers like this. It shows that you don't need the expensive aftermarket stuff. Usually over time you figure out what works and what doesn't so you improve and evolve.
i dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I love any tips you can give me!
@Davian Forest Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
i can 'suggest'...after you move front seats 'forward' ( sleeping mode )...add a DARK 'curtain' behind front seats...to leave front driver/passenger/Windshield Alone...to Avoid Suspicious 'Peeps' walking by...thinking there is someone 'sleeping inside'!... i would try to keep bed platform as low as possible to 'Maximize' head room. For me...when platform too 'high'...i feel like i'm sleeping in a coffin ( due to ceiling...too close to my head...). Cheers from Canada..Safe Travels!!
Love your set up! I love camping in my Jeep Wrangler too! I don’t have a dedicated set up like you, but when I do go out for my random trips, I have a mattress in the back, and just stealth camp in random cities and for solo camping trips. I usually keep my 9 by my side since I like to sleep in areas such as bourbon st in New Orleans occasionally.
That setup is pretty cool. I like seeing ideas from different people and make up my own and what would work for me i really like this setup and the video was great and informative
holy Moses. the kitchen is bad ass. you clearly put lots of thought into this. I am preparing a tiny build for my Prius....with a twist. can't wait to venture from LA to Lake Michigan this holiday to test it!
This is so cool! Not sure if someone already suggested but a pool noodle or a foam pipe wrap/insulation cut in half would be great to cover the corners of the cabinets to protect your knees in case you bump on it.
You have seeded a dream in my heart that I will strive for years until I bring it into my life. I want the backroad freedom of a jeep and to be able to camp in the quiet wilds.
About your charging area.. I have the same thing and actually have the car charger leading to a 12v power strip so it charges my power everytime the jeep is on. Just food for thought. Absolutely love the build and am stealing some ideas man.
Totally love it! I have a WJ without a platform bc I can sit up inside like in a tent. A Wrangler is my dream vehicle! I like the Thule box a lot, the awning is important in some locations and makes it feel like you have a living room or deck. I use a very inexpensive hikers tarp and attach it to the roof rails with bungee balls and carry adjustable awning poles budget was my concern. See ya on the road
Ive got a similar set up in my JKU! Been using it for a while! Much better than a RTT, less obvious, and can drive away from the the hungry bear without exiting the jeep!
Nice!!! Found your video while perusing ways to future enhance my '93 Ford Bronco XLT camping enhancement. Thanks for the effort and links (loving the lightweight light strand and the Jackery...heard lots of good things about it)!
Mate, sorry to see you had to be recovered by a Station Wagon. Other than that, great balance of Off-roader and Stealth Camper. I have the same model in Black. Love it. Keen to get out and camp much more.
This is awesome! I'm finishing up my Jeep camper build right now and love the details you've got inside the car. Mine's definitely a little less fancy than yours but I may upgrade it in a few months!
Nice build. I figured out I wanted to turn my Jeep into a camper AFTER buying the 2 door wrangler. I love being able to get it into places a bigger vehicle won't fit, but I've slept in it a few times (which meant I didn't get any sleep).
@@MyEcoJournal The best 2 door setups I've seen are where the passenger seat is removed to make a bed. If I keep adding to the 2 door I'm gonna get a nice rooftop rack and clamshell pop up roof tent. That way I can at least sleep in that without taking up any more space than the vehicle footprint.
Thanks for the inspiration. I’ve actually been wanting to do this to my 2012 Jeep JK. I never have anyone in my Jeep anyway so I will take the back seats out and maybe the front passenger seat for more legroom.
I have a jeep cherokee, I like your ideas with the bed platform and things you need in storage box on top of jeep. Great idea! How did you take the seats from the back ? I want to this. How much was the build? Is living in the jeep expensive? How long are you planning to live in the jeep? Thanks again.
Good shit! I am so torn between a 4door and a 2door, the former purely because of the ability to sleep inside! Can't really do it in a 2door, maybe even with 1 person.
@Leewilly440 I actually ended up going with the 2-door and am very happy with my decision. It'll depend on what you're using it for, of course. There actually is a way to put a sleeper setup inside, but more importantly I wanted to do lightweight offroading, the back seats are crazy comfy these days and high convertible or removable in seconds. The short wheel base is VITAL for maneuverability on the trail or in urban places. If I had a family or needed to tow heavier things it would be an issue, but as is I much prefer the versatility and agility.
Great build. One question, I do like the idea of the sliding-out drawer kitchen/stove. Do the smell of food get inside the sleep area when you cook? I guess you could pull the rear window down to prevent some of the smell?
You've made me reconsider my entire build. Was going to have the yeti pop out the back, but this puts the platform higher than I would prefer. I have the 65. I am going to seriously consider the side door option. If you can provide anymore on how your cooler slide set-up is, that would be awesome :)
Jenneil Parks Thanks, it was pretty difficult, but we got it as low as possible. The door is a sort of V shape, so the wider your cooler the higher the cooler will have to placed to make it fit. It did save height room though which was the goal
@@MyEcoJournal What length slides did you use? Also, do you remember the brand name and style? I am not sure if I would need the lock-in/lock-out slides if I install the same way you did or if heavy duty slides would work just as well. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks :)
Hi. A really nice set up. Very functional. Video also well done: good editing with the drone shots, music a good compliment to your narration without being distracting.
Happy 500 subs! I’m #498. But close enough. I just bought an 03 Mitsubishi montero, and THIS is exactly that I want to do to it. Thanks and keep up the great content
Your Jeep is great bro! How tall are you? Do you think a 1.81 m person can sleep there comfortably? Do you have the measurement of the bed? Thank you very much for your review!
Nice work on your mods. I liked what you had to say about envisioning its creation like being on the international space station! You are exactly right! I think that if you refined it and worked on the materials that you could commercialize the sleep platform and cabinets. What if they were made of fiberglass?
I have the exact same jeep my camping setup is a little different but i love what you have done. Mine had to be different because I travel with my wife and a 140lb Great Dane.
Really like the camper, I did my sleeping platform and curtains a little different. I’d try to explain but it’s easier to watch the video on my channel. Thanks for sharing ideas as I’m constantly evolving my camping system!
Great build, I love seeing DIY campers like this. It shows that you don't need the expensive aftermarket stuff. Usually over time you figure out what works and what doesn't so you improve and evolve.
Exactly, already have plans for the spring to change some things
I think you have a great balance between a modified Jeep sleeper and a stealth camper. Nice job man
The stealth part has been very useful this year, Thank you!

@Davian Forest It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
This is probably my favorite setup that I’ve seen. It’s a very good balance.

Why are you typing with so many quotes and "..."s
We too bought a pink RTIC cooler because we figured the probability of it being stolen was pretty low. It was my husband's idea - GENIUS!
Pink power!
As of yesterday I just bought my first 3/4 plywood to start a very similar build in my 2018 jeep renegade trail hawk. Here we go!!
Happy building!
Omg I love this when I turn 16 I was gonna do a van conversion but this this is sooooo amazing!!!
Love the shorty two doors.
Well done with the slider for the cooler. Legit setup
Hardest part was that, thanks!
This is awesome. I'll likely do something similar in my Commander some time in the future.
Dude you have the best jeep set up
Dude, this is dope! Wish I had your skills to make something like this! Great job!
Nice! Yea i prefer sleeping inside the jeep as well rather than a pop up roof tent
Love your set up! I love camping in my Jeep Wrangler too! I don’t have a dedicated set up like you, but when I do go out for my random trips, I have a mattress in the back, and just stealth camp in random cities and for solo camping trips. I usually keep my 9 by my side since I like to sleep in areas such as bourbon st in New Orleans occasionally.
Tell us more, about the Jackery power box...
Amazing build, this is pretty much my dream build!
Awesome use of space
This is the perfect conversion I was looking for
That setup is pretty cool. I like seeing ideas from different people and make up my own and what would work for me i really like this setup and the video was great and informative
holy Moses. the kitchen is bad ass. you clearly put lots of thought into this. I am preparing a tiny build for my Prius....with a twist. can't wait to venture from LA to Lake Michigan this holiday to test it!
Thank you, I did plan as much as possible before starting, i hope the prius works out well!
@@MyEcoJournal it will def be one of a kind...haha think... mobile disco
Dude this thing is sick!
Good job on this! I love the wood platform how it folds out for your head
This is so cool! Not sure if someone already suggested but a pool noodle or a foam pipe wrap/insulation cut in half would be great to cover the corners of the cabinets to protect your knees in case you bump on it.
The wrangler are really only good for one person with this set up. The new bronco looks bigger so hopefully it will be a amazing set up
You have seeded a dream in my heart that I will strive for years until I bring it into my life. I want the backroad freedom of a jeep and to be able to camp in the quiet wilds.
If theres a will theres a way!
Dream of mine as well and I'm striving for it
Awesome build!
About your charging area.. I have the same thing and actually have the car charger leading to a 12v power strip so it charges my power everytime the jeep is on. Just food for thought.
Absolutely love the build and am stealing some ideas man.
Hey man can you drop a link to the power strip you use to do this? Looking to set my Jackery up similarly.
Totally love it! I have a WJ without a platform bc I can sit up inside like in a tent. A Wrangler is my dream vehicle!

Thank you! See ya out there (hopefully with your dream vehicle!)
love the jeep setup. even more I love the beach scenery...where did you find such a beautiful private beach?
At first I was thinking I want a big van but then I got a pile of everything I would need to vanlife and I realized a jeep is perfect
Remarkable! So organized & it looks like you have the necessities!! I’m impressed!
Just now found your channel and I look forward to your upcoming adventures! As I Always say, Keep on Jeepin!!
That’s right! Keep on Jeepin!
AWESOME ideas! Well done. Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE THIS SETUP, A TRUE MINIMALIST 😍

Building one of these out right now. Really like your design and super helpful video! Thanks man
Little velcro on black out shade = genius
Mate, sorry to see you had to be recovered by a Station Wagon.
Other than that, great balance of Off-roader and Stealth Camper.
I have the same model in Black. Love it. Keen to get out and camp much more.
Nice to see another Massachusetts boy on here . I'm in the Boston area too . I'm building my 4x4 chevy van into a off road camper van .
Nice job. Loved the location to show it off.

Much appreciated!
You've done a great job! I'm setting up my jeep very similar. Only difference is I use roll bar soft bags for the back windows. They work magic.
The only thing I'd add is a tailgate drop down table. Great build
Those are nice!
This is awesome! I'm finishing up my Jeep camper build right now and love the details you've got inside the car. Mine's definitely a little less fancy than yours but I may upgrade it in a few months!
Crosby Melendi Hey as long as there’s somewhere to sleep its good enough!
If yours is a JL, you may find some Camping ideas of mine helpful as well.
Great ideas, thank you, I am thinking of doing it for my new 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport, 4 door, 2.0 turbo.
Very NICE. Love it.
Dope setup bro.
Nice set up!
Very nice buildout. I’m amazed you got that yeti 45 under the deck! Really sweet rig. Enjoy it and be safe.
Thank you! That yeti was definitely the hardest part of the build!
The coral cooler looks dope. It matches the grey. Nice job 🤙🏻
I figured I’d spice things up!
You nailed it man. Well done and thanks for sharing your insight!
This is the perfect Jeep setup IMO. Nice job! 👍
Super kind and much appreciated, thanks
You can put your seat belt through the handle on the door and buckle it up. Makes it harder for someone to get in.
This was amazing! Thanks for sharing all ur info! I want to convert a vintage jeep cherokee, so this will help a lot!
Megan Salmans You got it! Good luck 🍀
Great Job, absolutey love it.
Extremly smart is the phone holder under the roof😅👌
Keep on going :)
Thanks! One of my favorite additions haha

Yes the four door gives just enough room for me but I have seen people do it in the two door! Very tight though
@@MyEcoJournal The best 2 door setups I've seen are where the passenger seat is removed to make a bed. If I keep adding to the 2 door I'm gonna get a nice rooftop rack and clamshell pop up roof tent. That way I can at least sleep in that without taking up any more space than the vehicle footprint.
This is the best jeep setup very thought out, neat and simple set. I love it ❤️
So kind, thank you!
Nice setup 👌
Great home build. Props.
Great mods. I have the same Jeep and those ideas are awesome and doable. Tha cabinets look easy to do. Thanks for the video and safe travels!
Thank you! Yes the cabinet just needs to be anchored to the main frame and then u can get creative on how to split up the cabinet space
Very good 👍 I try like that for my jk 👌 thank’s for this video 🙏
Wicked set up. Its a jeep, I missed the beginning and thought it was a van or something. :)
Thanks for the inspiration. I’ve actually been wanting to do this to my 2012 Jeep JK. I never have anyone in my Jeep anyway so I will take the back seats out and maybe the front passenger seat for more legroom.
Happy building!
Great build...well done! What a grea time in life for you to have and use your Jeep this way. Regarding the beach...air down!!
Jonathan Blackmon I was! Just hit a bad spot in the sand and lack of momentum caused me to get stuck lol, Thanks!!
@@MyEcoJournal happens to us all! Happy tavels!
Badass set up brotha!
this build is great. hoping to do something similar in my patriot. thanks !
Sweet. Build
I love your build dude!
I have a jeep cherokee, I like your ideas with the bed platform and things you need in storage box on top of jeep.
Great idea!
How did you take the seats from the back ?
I want to this.
How much was the build?
Is living in the jeep expensive?
How long are you planning to live in the jeep?
Thanks again.
*take out the seats?
The seats were easy to take out with only a few tools! These are all questions I can update everyone with in a new video!
Really Awesome! Giving me some great ideas! Where did you get your twinkle lights?
Amazon!

Great video ! I just subscribed ☺ I'm wanting to get a jeep and do the same but I might get the roof tent ⛺ 😅 thank you for the video .
Sick video man! in the design stage of making my own currently 🤘
Thanks bro! Good luck , it’s worth all the work!
Great video and thank you for sharing
great job.
Great build dude! 👊🏻 thank you for the cooler idea 👍🏻
Simple & the best 👍👍

cant wait to do this in the summer !!!!
A road trip summer!
Nice conversion! I like the kitchen, cabinets, and battery. I am also converting my Cherokee XJ, so I really learned a lot from your video!
If you ever get stuck in sand again, try putting the floor mats under the wheel to climb out :)
I'm curious if you considered making the kitchen shorter and the bed foldable so that you could still use the back seat.
I have the exact same jeep my camping setup is a little different but i love what you have done. Mine had to be different because I travel with my wife and a 140lb Great Dane.
Thank you! That’s basically three people!
Really like the camper, I did
my sleeping platform and curtains a little different. I’d try to explain but it’s easier to watch the video on my channel. Thanks for sharing ideas as I’m constantly evolving my camping system!
John Walker Thanks I’ll check it out
Love the setup man! I’m doing a similar build with a 09 grand Cherokee!
Exciting to hear, thanks dawg!
You’ll need to put normal screen fabric behind your bug deterrent if you hope to avoid bites.
Very nice job. It looks like a great setup.
4" mattress and a monkey pillow is considered glamping. Great build with awesome adventures ahead. Thanks and keep the vids coming.
I do sleep well 😂😂 thanks!!
Nice kitchen
Nice job
Well done, Mate! Where you bought the shower?
Haha buggy night in Canada it's a double wrap on them ? Bug screens eh?
Awesome set up. Where did you get your white trim pieces.
Plasti-dipped them myself, thanks!
