- Finally put a video together going thru the 1st prototype custom interior-camper sleeping-setup I've built. (Apologies for shakey cam near end!) === LOTS OF INFO: === Next version I make will be made of aluminum sheet instead of wood, to save weight. ~ But this version's built with marine plywood, deck screws, marine wood glue, penetrating epoxy, southco latches, stainless piano hinges, gas shocks, marine carpet & glue, & all trimmed with paracord. ~ Weighs in about 30lbs more than everything I removed from it, but more so with all the added gear. ~ I've used it extensively for an entire season now of camping & off roading. ~ Slept out of it for a week straight while wandering Michigan trails, just find a spot in public forest & setup in minutes! It's really badass having the self sufficiency, speed, & ease of camp setup/teardown by having it built in vs to a roof top tent (not to mention cheaper!). ~ Only complaint so far would be overall weight when loaded down with 3+ days worth of gear & supplies, but I have a plan for that. ~ Another big step will be adding auxiliary diesel/water/propane tanks under the chassis to extend my overall range. ~ Also I'm designing a house-battery & solar-charging system to give me more capability when I'm way off-grid.

Very intense music, makes me want to raid some village
For sure. Sounds like King Kong is approaching the wall.
Some great skills you have there like you build is bang on thank you for sharing
Mohammad Omar Thanks! I'm happy to share it, and hoping to have more detail on it here soon.
That is just awesome. Jolly good job old chap!
Thanks!
FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thanks!
WICKED really great video cool music too btw ✌😁🚲
Glad you like :)
Wardruna very nice.
To war 😈🤘
Totally awesome, but you might want to include an access hatch to the fuel pump.
Thanks man! Thankfully the in-tank pump is no longer needed with the diesel swap, since the engine driven lift pump will do all the work, now I'll just have a simple hard line running into the bottom of the tank.
So nice!
gummybearstreet Thanks :)
An amazing project, congratulations! Is it possible to buy a file with this project from you ?? Best wishes!
Thanks! I'm hoping to have something ready for that come spring/summer time. Really excited to try & build a much lighter version in aluminum sheet too.
I’d be super interested in a file with cut dimensions, too. It’s clear that you put a lot of thought, time, and effort into your design.
I’ve been thinking of building something like this but keeping it really light and only taking up the space behind the seats. My kids like to tag along, and I have a roof tent for sleeping now - whoohoo!
BTW - greetings from Midland County!
Hi bud I've messaged before. I was curious 2 things.
1) have you added a mechanism on the boot door so you can open from inside and 2 , did you keep all the notes for measurements for cutting wood etc, did you use Ply? Again amazing build man 🙌
I didn't add a mechanism BUT I did put a notch in the rear door table I built to leave room for the original handle, seen here th-cam.com/video/a1dRYVBovuU/w-d-xo.html
Yep that's all heavy duty "marine grade" plywood, all 1/2" thick (12mm)
@@Tinker1837 it would appear I'm lacking this inside boot release 2004 disco 2 facelift, unless its hidden somewhere ?
Huh, that's odd. My Disco is pre-facelift and the inner handle is built right into the rear door/hatch card.
Hopefully this image of the rear before the install can help, and the handle is the dark bit in the center: i.imgur.com/378lSoF.jpg
@@Tinker1837 not sure why i didint get a notificaton of your reply , just stumpled back to your channel and saw notification.. found boot release handle, just me being blind, found it lol. its the least of my worries now though, just been under my car at the garage it needs a lot of chassis welding, or a donation of a new chassis *sad-face*
Do you have a version that isn't sped Fast fwd with commentary?
I do not. That sped up bit during the end there was due to how terrible the audio turned out once I got into the editing... so I may do another video going into more detail, preferably while I'm out in the wild using it as designed. Had planned to do just that over the last few years, but I tend to forget about the camera when I'm out wandering.
How much would you need to do exactly this in the back of my disco 2?
tinker lol please tell me man you daily drive this please tell me
Epic Rave Yep, sure did. Right up until I started tearing it down for the diesel swap. Then my motorcycle became my daily for a while, well at least until the snow got too deep... BRRR!
Would you share your cad plan? I actually bought a disco because of you and this video. I'm a retired Marine and want to build this for my dog and me to go traveling in. If not, I understand...
Hey is there any way you could send me any blueprints or anything along those lines and a list of everything needed if you have it I’m really interested into doing this to my disco
I have a 2002 Land Rover I would love that design please tell me you're in Canada better yet in Ontario😅
That music was dreadful
If you think that's bad then you should've heard the original version with my awful voice narrating it ha!
@@Tinker1837 l love the music! Gives me Nordic warrior vibes.
You narrating is frankly much better.@@Tinker1837
Great video. This is fantastic, I have been trawling the internet for months to find info on converting a d2 into a camper. You have given me 10 times the material that I have already found in less than 8 minutes 👍. Your conversion is very similar to what I had in mind .... superb.. and thanks for sharing your great work. Regards from the u.k
Russ Woodard Thanks! I was in the same boat while I researched this build before I started a winter ago. Not much out there for D2's! Nearest I could ever find was Defender builds, but they are afforded quite a bit more space.
After watching some of your recent videos I decided to go back and check the whole build out. You're skill level and attention to detail are on another level! Much respect to you!!
Thanks! The whole project's been a big push to try new things, & other than failing at torch brazing it's been a good time.
That music!!! This is so EPIC. Great build by the way, truly inspired to go outside and start building the disco. Thanks for posting!
Been on a viking type music kick for a while now, & thanks!
^ LOTS of INFO in DESCRIPTION! ^
Tinker I love the music !! And that’s an amazing build !!
@@debiaviles4207 Thanks :)
The music was lit! Made the video suspenseful and made the vehicle seem invincible!
Tinker how to put checker plate on car
The music is awesome!
Excellent build sir!! I think this is the best Land Rover transformation I have seen to date. The music is a perfect accompaniment.
Thanks! It's been tons of fun and just keeps evolving year by year.
Hey brother, love the Nanuuq build! Been following a while and finally looped back to an old Q of mine: Do you have the dimensions for the boxes somewhere? I even when to the OB thread and found it all, but no numbers on the blown up CAD drawing.
I'm looking to copy the horizontal spacing of the bench and cabinet for a flip-out bed like yours.
I do not have those out anywhere yet, my plan is to redo this wood version in aluminum & make proper drawing plans for the old wood setup once I can confirm all the dimensions from my CAD model match the real thing. The horizontal spacing is actually roughly 1/3 for each segment across.
Yeaah mate, love your built, looks to be a huge project!
Mine was by far shorter haha!
I do have a habit of getting carried away with projects, but it's good fun!
Fantastic piece of work. Please knock up the 3D plans asap and put them up for sale!
Ps. What year is the disco?. Thanks 👍
Thanks! It is a 2002
Amazing! After all this time, how’s it held up? Where did you get the window covers?
I definitely am inspired by your video.
Thanks, glad you like :) Held up great! A bit of the paracord trim came loose, but that was my fault for using the wrong glue that was sensitive to heat. I made those window covers myself from bubble insulation + black felt fabric.
@@Tinker1837 Thank you for the response! I totally loved watching your video and I'm glad to see it's held up overtime. I will be borrowing some of your ideas. I was hoping to not make the window covers myself, as it's more of a craft project! haha I look forward to more videos from you! :D
@@Tinker1837 There is a chap on ebay uk that creates a full set for the Discovery for about £200 or so. I've got a set. I converted mine so I've a boot box that folds forwards to cover the laid down mid seat. but this was because back then I still needed to carry passengers.
High, i would not believe it, if i had not seen it. A real camper made of a Disco. A very good performance. Kindly Fiete
Not common for sure, but glad you like! It works better than you'd think despite the small space to use.
This is brilliant, I guess you could sleep two at a squeeze or have reduced the depth of the side unit an inch or two but so what... great system . If you did this in the UK you would probably get it re registered as a commercial vehicle seeing as the back seats would be regarded as permanently out of use and save a packet on the road tax per year. Dare I suggest carpet tiles next version, they are very easy cut to any shape and would have a much neater non fraying edge . The window black-outs are perfect too. If you were to add a power inverter to the kit you would could do the hoovering and washing with a 110v supply from the slave/leisure battery although the engine would need running. I love this sort of self styled inventive project stuff . 👏👏👏👏👏
S Who Thanks! Yeah it would be a pretty intimate fit for two. Those carpet edges were a tricky bit for sure, would've been heaps easier if the backer wasn't so dark. I'm planning to wire it up with solar above & a "house battery" inside so I can start expanding it's functionality :)
I imagine you have found this guys vid already .. th-cam.com/video/QF8XOAApTcY/w-d-xo.html but the flexible ones are more efficient and don't need "aiming" so much . A friend has a cousin that is one of the David Attenborough wildlife video team and he uses "roll up" panels and slaps them all over the bonnet/hood of every vehicle they use . I'll keep an eye out to see how you get on, subed !
Oh and that Mexican carpet gets everywhere after a while ..... underlay underlay arriba arriba ;)
Maybe a manufacturer would sponsor you in return for a few vid shorts of how you use them etc. Nice going..Good luck mate .
Great build thanks for sharing. But like a few others have mentioned not sure about the carpet. I lined my 110 throughout with carpet and after 3 years I still haven't got the Sahara sand out of it.
Thanks & yeah ideally I'll be building the much lighter version of this same setup in aluminum.
Any chance you could send me the templet patterns?
jesse tanner Working on that, gotta translate my 3D models to some drawings, didn't expect so much interest in the design!
great use of the space over the back. Can you tell me the catches and gas struts you used ?
cheers
DENMONKEY SouthCo latches & those are just generic gas shocks. I'd recommend estimating the force & stroke you'd like for your application before you start searching... because I did the reverse & at first had way too powerful shocks.
Tinker cheers for the info Tink
You are an engineer now a cabinet maker, is there anything you can’t turn your hand too? Nice work.
NZ restoration Thanks :)
Very good work! ich love British cars like Defender and Discovery .These are nice Cars!
I have Suzuki Jimny, a small Off-road vehicle for the poor :D
Greetings from Germany :)
...and Music Wardruna - TOP!
Thanks & welcome :)
Miss my 2001 D2. 2nd engine died 2015. Your videos make me want to get another. Any ideas on who does Cummings conversions in South Carolina/Georgia area? Unless you want to do another?!
This one's engine blew 4 times before I gave up on it... no fun! Not sure on that, but I'd have no doubt there are several options in that area, even if it's a tricky swap because a pro fabricator would do soooo much better than me haha!
Outdone yourself as usual!
Shit tickets 😂
Haha you caught that, just couldn't resist sneaking that in there after hearing some aussie's (Intents Offroad) refer to them that way xD
Man! You gave me a new direction of thinking! After a decades of years campinfmg on a motorcycle, then on a classic motorhome (campervan), now i see how cool is to be minimalistic! And be able to go anywhere!
Glad you like, and yeah most people are surprised with what I've packed in there.
Nice camper build! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you, it turned out even better than I had hoped for!
Love the build and Im particularly interested in the drawer/storage/bed system you made. Do you live in the US? If so would you entertain the idea of making me a duplicate setup? If interested send me a message and we can talk in detail about a price and the like.
Julian Bellorum Working on putting together some drawings from the 3D model I designed, just super swamped lately with the Cummins diesel swap ramping up now that the weather here is getting better.
It's kind of amazing that he made all those long straight cuts using a JIG SAW?
I'm a glutton for punishment... haha!
You wouldn’t of kept measurements and or templates would you tinker I would love to do this to mine
I would pay for that for sure, your setup suits my needs perfectly
Hi buddy have you fitted a diesel heater I’m completely new to this just bought a discovery 2 instead of a small van I planned to fit one in the van but am looking to do it in the discovery now instead
Not yet, but that's the plan.
Damn genius!.., absolutely enjoy watching your work!
I don't know about that, but thanks though!
This is true craftsmen-ship. The attention to detail is fantastic. Everything fits together so well and is carried through beautifully. Awesome work.
Thank you! :)
That is exactly what I wanted to do, I love to have the files, meusremnts, etc, I will Pay for that. Gret Job. I wish I knew how to do it myself
I hope to some available soon!
@@Tinker1837 please let us know when draws and material list are ready for sale. Tnx good job
This is the coolest D2 build Ive ever seen. I spent a lot of time in the shop keeping these things on the road. Also have seen LS swaps but never a 4BT. That is awesome!
Thanks! Can't wait to see how it performs this summer.
I like the concept of this for the solo traveller. Great video, will check out your other stuff + 1 sub 👍🏻
Music choice is epic.
Flap Bean Thanks! Could fit 2 people but you would definitely want to be very familiar with them :P
Very epic build! You just used every tiny but of it perfectly.
Is it possible to get the AutoCAD-File? I could only find the picture of it in the blog.
Thanks! I still have to check the CAD drawings with the real thing, just to confirm the changes/updates I made to it.
So are you for believing that you have the right to criticise me. Grow up and get a life....
Paul D Apologies for that, that maniac is gone now, what a loon lol!
Very impressive, but how are you going to lift up the carpet in the boot and find your floor has rusted out now?
stewart murray Thanks, & it's all just bolted in, been in & outta there multiple times :)
Now add an inverter / couple sla batteries and solar panels, microwave and heater
You read my mind!
This looks amazing awesome job!!! I’m even more jelly now 😝
Victoria Meyer Hey thanks :) Kept me occupied that last winter, but I think I've had my fill of this wishy-washy winter... bring on the spring! I need some sun!
Hey Tinker, love the videos. You build your vehicles the way i like, thought out, different to others and with pride taken. Back home in Aus i have a v8 d2a that i am fixing up as an overland tourer, i plan on doing something similar to this setup on that vehicle and later down the track when funds are right hopefully a om606 mercedes swap.. The d2's have a good amount of space in the back when the rear seats are removed. I have to ask, what is your career? the use of all the design software screams engineer.
Thanks! That would make for a great engine swap option. And the headroom afforded by that taller roof line in the rear is one of the features that sold me on the Disco. I work with CNC machines, no degree, just self taught with those sorts of things. It's good fun turning things I've been pondering on into 3D models & then making them happen with steel in real life! So far I've had good look with the things I've designed becoming just what I hoped for in hand.
I can't wait to see the result for your 4BT 😭😭😭😭
rangeOso88 Same!
Nice! A lot of space, I‘m converting a Jeep JK at the moment, if You like have a look at our videos 🙂
I just started watching a few & looks like you're building something quite nice! Added a bunch of yours to my watch later list, need to catch up on your builds :)
Tinker thanks! It will be a similar floor plan in a smaller car 😉
Thanks for watching 🙂
Wir seh'n uns unterwegs Always makes me happy to see people building their own setups like these :) I'm excited to see the finalized construction!
i would love to do this to a Disco! just not mine kept my leathers immaculate. maybe i should buy another ? Subscribed
Glad you like! I'm looking forward to building an aluminum version.
@@Tinker1837 have you still got this disco ?
Sure do, just put a diesel & manual in it 👍
@@Tinker1837 nice , my disco is my daily, if it wasnt i'd be all over this project
Ah yeah, was a big move for me to do it to mine while it was still my daily.
Great video im building some thing similar at the moment , can i ask whats is the height of the seat box from floor to seat box top as im having trouble choosing the correct height as im 6 feet 1 tall and dont want my head touching the roof when sitting, but also want enough height so my legs are comfortable when sitting , my guess is 20cm total height? . thanks for sharing your hard work
Hi Paul, did you do the build? I've watched heaps of builds but keep coming back to this video for ideas. I've realised you can't really go any lower than top of wheel well for the top of the benchseat unless you go a bit lower and have the top of wheel well poking out 2 or 3cm, but if you built one you've probably realised that. Cheers from Aus 🇦🇺
Hi Tinker. Not yet ready for sale autocad or solid works archives of interior design transformation?
Tnx!!
Not ready yet, but I will post something about it when it is 👍
Gaaaah thats so rad man. I'll have to catch up on your build, this thing is beyond amazing. If I thought the Element or Wagon could handle the extra weight I'd love to build a living section. I have a light weight one for the E, but nothing as awesome as yours.
Thanks man! It is a bit heavy, planning for an aluminum-sheet version of it next. Might not insulate sound/thermal as well, but it would be 1/4 the weight & worth it the way this tank's going!
Very impressive. That would have to be the best "home made" camper conversion I've seen, bar none.
Thank you, it was a lot of fun to build!
Nice one mate... Owner of a disco 2 and well into me outdoors--- subed.
Thanks!
So I take it you sleep in a roof top like myself and live from the back of the rig, I use an awning that sleeps 3 that attaches by zipper under the canopy of the tent and have the rear of the disco a platform for living from. I really appreciate the time you would of spent designing this system and I love the finished build, if your ever headed north bound and into Scotland, buzz me and I will give you some inside info on routes to take man,
All the best
I'm actually sleeping right out of the back, on the folding bed section. Roof's mostly for expanding cargo & fuel range, also for solar panels in the future. I haven't shown much of me sleeping in back because my very cheap cameras are terrible in lowlight. You can see some of it in my sand dunes video here: th-cam.com/video/d-nOk5EJ5RM/w-d-xo.htmlm42s Getting out that way would be a dream for sure, good looking out!
Tinker cool man! I am currently going through you uploads as I've only just found you channel, it's great know that your sleeping in the vehicle, most people I know who have converted their Discos into campers sleep on the roof, if I didn't have such a large family that is what I would be doing, no need to step out of the vehicle when Scotland sky's open up 🌧
Yeah the roof + awning/canopy is a fantastic combo! I love how that style is so expandable & turns into a "basecamp" so readily. With my setup you'd definitely want to be comfortable with any other person that will be in the back with you... not the largest back there so it makes for very intimate sleeping quarters haha! Sometimes the peninsulas of Michigan here can feel like an island with all the precipitation/cloudcover/fog. Beautiful when you go all the way to our northern stretches, the Keweenaw, but still can hardly compare to your northern areas
Tinker Awsome that sounds majestic I would love to hop the Atlantic and do some ovelanding, When you wake and look at your feet in the morning in the back of a disco you look up and see the best picture frame ever, that's the back window of a land rover 😉
Glad I found your channel, I'm more active on Instgram and the channel name is littlebullszinsta
Take care my friend, looking forward to more of your uploads
Great and informative vid. and.... super cool music
Thanks!
I love disco's and defenders, I had to laugh at the fact there is more room allocated for spare parts and tools than there is for clothing. Great build look forward to the updated version.
Priorities haha!
after all it's a disco 2, they need some love time by time, and som spare electrics :)
Nicely done but where do you keep your food and beer? Fridge in the future? Cheers
Thanks, & the longest I've made it with food on ice & in coolers is 3 days... BUT I left a spot just behind the driver's seat for a small refrigerator or freezer. I plan to add one at the same time as a solar + battery setup.
Music choice?
"Tyr" by Wardruna
very sick design. the carpet reminds me of some 70's shag but the durability of marine carpet is superb
Thanks! It's a funky color for sure, best match I could find to that goofy Rover interior... which has been growing on me since that color hides dirt so well.
Absolutely awesome! Thanks for sharing. Could you tell me what is the width of the corridor between the cabinet and the bench? Thanks!
Thanks! When folded out it's just a few inches shy in length & width of a "twin size" mattress. I like the width but I wish I could pack in just a few inches longer. Made do with what the Disco offered!
Are these solid rigs? I always hear people complaining about head gaskets going
Evan Jeffries Some of the 3.9L engines had issues, but the rest of the truck is solid for sure. Added benefit... get one dirt cheap with a blown engine to start your project!
Evan Jeffries td5 has head gasket issues just ask me lol you have to get plastic dowels and replace with steel they wear out they have a few other issues aswell but if you look after them they are a beast off road.
Fantastic use of space! Well done! Thanks for the great ideas. Only criticism is why the extra expense of marine ply when it'll never be in the weather? I realize you did this pre-pandemic wood cost, but even so, prototype to be thrown out, with premium materials is a waste..? Leftover from another job or youth and exuberance? ; )
Condensation from sleeping in back was the idea, but probably overkill yes. Next version will be aluminum, less weight and more space!
Nice build, I just bought one and am looking forward to doing a similar layout. I'm a bit tall so hopefully there aren't any issues. I suppose I can position my self on an angle if I am too tall. Hopefully not the case
I'm only just over 6ft/1.8m and this type of setup leaves me just a few inches between the rear door & back of the seats when laid out straight, which is good because I tend to sleep flat on my back, so if you're a side sleeper you'll be okay I think. Another trick to gain more would be moving the passenger seat forward with a fold down bit, then I bet you could get maybe 7ft!
Nice cabinet work
What will be your overall vehicle weight in your estimation. I know the DII and p38 are heavy vehicles to begin with.
NuvolariF1 Pretty heavy I think, I'll get it on a scale when it's rolling again. The new diesel & manual transmission swap is going in add more. And I've yet to add/build auxiliary fuel & water tanks underneath, add winches, rear bumper & swingout, rock sliders... the list goes on!
this almost made me cry... i want one so bad !
this was a great build! i just totally rebuilt my brakes today on my 2000 disco 2. all new master cylinder, lines, rotors, calipers and pads. used the Hawkeye tool to bleed the brakes...worked great. we have also previously replaced the coils...(a bitch to do), valve cover gaskets, manifold gasket, throttle heater gasket, all o2 sensors, wires, plugs, many hoses and clamps, ac pump, alternator, water pump...etc as you can tell, i love her. she is my 4th disco 2.
Those coils are such a pain! I'm looking forward to gutting my braking system & ditching the ABS + going with stainless braid everywhere, maybe non-float calipers too. Happy to hear another Disco staying on the road & getting some love :)
Great job mate, well worked out and good use of space. What part of the world you from? Great video thanks for sharing 👍🇬🇧
Tom O'Hawk Thanks :) I'm in the north central area of the United States.
It will be one capable overland vehicle got sure. Maybe one of these days you com out to Cali, plenty of trails with varying difficulties.
Can't wait to start exploring further from my home state when the engine swap's done :D
Great job on the fit out mate. Very professional. My own approach is vastly different, and it seems I take to many short cuts. Thinking about it now I would say the time I save in a quick fit out is soon lost as I spend more time trying to find items. Cheers
AuSeeker Thanks! And there sure are a bunch of ways you could go about fitting out one of these, no shortage of space inside considering the wheelbase. I just hope I can manage to keep it this organized once the new running gear is chugging along & I venture out on week+ trips haha
Excellent video, thanks for sharing. I also have a D2 and planning to build a similar setup. How could you decide on placing the sleeping platform on the right-hand side?
I chose that for a better view out the back window.
Excellent build. :) Would be very interesting to see what you could do with a Land Rover 101FC Radio Body or a Defender 130. :P
I hope to build more for sure!
That’s the best conversion I’ve ever seen mate! It really is!
Don’t be offended if I copy most of it..
I’m just really surprised with the bed length. Is that moving the front seat forward?
Thanks! No worries, this is only the 1st iteration, won't be long before its replaced with something lighter :) I had several different sized people hop in the passenger seat, & double checked my measurements, just to be sure the build didn't interfere with someone riding along. And the drivers seat position was left alone entirely.
Fantastic! Of all the self-built stuff I've seen this is one of the most impressive. Very well done, looks like great fun!
Daniel van Dalen-B. Thanks! :)
Well done i fitted oiut a work type Van master2 stealth wouldnt know it had a bed cooker on back door tool space clothing hangers freeview 240v lights all on budget parts... Off cuts of board an old box some timber frame recycled floor type for worktop and bed surface....
Good luck. If i video to sell as have lisence taken from me will advertise renault master mk2 stealth work camper van... bob
Nice! I like builds like that!
the wood work i amazing but the decision of cover it with carpet horrible.
That's fair, was mostly for insulating temperature & noise. A stained wood version would be cool!
That's some smart shit right there
Hey thanks man! Every once & a while my ideas don't blow up in my face.
@@Tinker1837 if I had seen this a couple years ago I would still have my disco, it's a great job
Awesome build never thought about a discovery build.
H.J. Walker They have a pretty healthy interior volume for a solid-axle truck with a wheelbase only a few inches longer than a Jeep & more than a foot shorter than most Land Cruisers or Defenders!
Amazing setup and very well built! I believe that with the alu cabinets will be better not only in terms of weight, but in looks as well
Цанко Цанков Thanks! And oh for sure, just couldn't imagine spending more than 10 times the money on theirs versus mine.
Ok i think we have all seen a shit ton of overland rig builds.
But damn. Thanks alot buddy this is fucking amazing. I feel like most other just do a platform amd some drawers amd call it good. Way to go above and beyond.
This has all the room and storage one would need without sacrificing comfort. Holy shit i cant say enough how cool this was.
What cad did you use?
Thanks from Colorado.
Thanks man! Was definitely aiming to build something new with this one, just couldn't find anything even a bit like this online before I started. I use an old 2010 version of AutoCAD.
When will you post your camping trips bro?great build.....ingot an 07 Ford freestyle I'm converting
michael pockat Thanks, yeah I slacked off a bit on that last year... didn't capture much beyond a trip or two last year.
This is by far one of the most awesome build I have seen here. Well planned out and perfectly executed ! I would LOVE this. Great job :)
Julie Silva Thanks!
At First I thought all that work going into a discovery II then I saw the 4BT. With that motor it is as good as anything else out there.
Looks good.
Thanks! I had always planned to do something interesting with the engine, even if the Rover 4.0 had lasted it would still struggle to do anything properly (low power, terrible fuel consumption, no reliability, few upgrade options, etc).
the music makes it sound like you building the great ark
Haha! That's the kind of vibe I was going for, like a viking clan building a longship to invade their neighbors.
haha hell yea amazing job man.
Thanks! Looking forward to trying a similar "version 2" made of aluminum.
I'm thinking you are preparing your car to withstand world war 3 and second coming of Jesus?🤩
LOL
Awesome build - so jealous! Did something way way simpler/primitve folding sleeper but this is just next level! Awesome camper/rig setup! Cheers! :)
It was a fun experiment for sure! Can hardly wait to try an aluminum version, or something for another platform of vehicles for that matter :D
Outstanding. Looking at building a setup in my 03 Jeep liberty. Love the soundtrack as well 🤣🤘
Thanks! It's fun figuring out how to fit something that "shouldn't" into a vehicle :)
Nice! I want to do similar with my disco 1 but don't think there's enough room for cot/bunk, I'm 6'1"..how tall are you?
It could be tight for you, since I'm 6'0" tall & my hair just touches the back of the passenger seat with my feet on the rear hatch. The rear area, when folded out, is roughly a twin-bed size: 40" wide X 73" long. Solo is no problem, but if you sleep 2 then you better be comfortable with the 2nd because it's an "intimate" space for 2 people :P
No fridge to keep beer cold
Cooler for now, but I did leave a place for the beer fridge! (and I'm going to power it with solar)
Is there a lot of space gained from removing the plastic trim/finishing in the rear area around the wheel wells?
I think so yeah, but makes for some tricky work building around that round shape. The ideal would be to weld up some aluminum saddle tanks to fit around them perfect for water storage.
Damn dude that’s impressive, nice work.
Glad you like, was a fun build that turned out better than expected!
excellent build you must have lived on a submarine,so organized👍🏼👍🏼
cabover camper darren thomas Thank you!
Draws draws we want the draws!!! 🙏🏻😄🤝🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
In due time :P
I was going to build this for an LR4, but quickly realized the roof height from floor bed is significantly taller on the D2. You'd end up squatting instead of sitting on the bench like you'd do on a French toilet.
Right! The old D2 roof height is the only reason I tried this. I'm 6 feet tall and it's still tight but without that distinct roof raise I'd have no hope of fitting in the back at all!
Nice job though mate. Definitely like to see an alloy version. I was looking at those alloy T-slotted framing extrusions before I discovered my roof height blunder lol.@@Tinker1837
