I've been reviewing diy builds for some time now. Must have seen >100. Yours is the closest I've seen to "the dream". The optional double bed is a must. Great job.
Wow it’s an honor
Watch mav’s diy build its better in my opinion.
@@Bound2BeatUhe’s got an f150 though
@@Exp101_ that is true
I agree... awesome setup. 👍👍👏👏🍻🍻
Run 12V power back there to charge your phone and other items, also a 12V or rechargeable LED light with a red light function will provide light at night without compromising your night vision. Nice build.
🤝
@@ConnorLeea solar panel on top of the camper shell,doing this when I do my build soon
What about adding a 12 volt fridge freezer? How do you cook?
You can put a netted storage system on the ceiling of the topper there for extra clothes or things storage. Love the build man!
Now you are ready for an Alaska road trip.
Carpet the interior to prevent condensation dripping on your face all night. Reflective insulation like windshield visor material cut to fit in the windows will block any light in or out if you need to be low key.
Any recommendations on material for carpet and adhesive?
@@ConnorLee I believe marine carpet is the go to for things like this
@@clayrobbins7669 also seen "trunk liner" fabric as good to glue to fiberglass shell interiors.
Bro this is awesome😂my wife is gonna hate me when I’m not home at nights
😂
Make sure to have a CO alarm and a fire extinguisher in there, especially is using that propane heater.
Good looks on the fire extinguisher. I keep a CO alarm but I’ll add the other to my kit
Love the setup!
More and more people are moving to the foot space X double bed functionality! I must say, it's making me reconsider the double drawer system I currently use. Great vid and nice truck!
Thank you!
This is great! I People over-estimate the importance of being able to stand, being able to sit up straight is what really matters. I love it
most practical set up I've seen... great job😊
Thank you! Really appreciate it!
simple, clean, and functional. perfect build
I have the same camper, LEER 122, but it's for my GMC Sierra 1500. I got it for a very cheap price, though it was sitting for a while and infested with brown recluse spiders, the exterior looks great after a solid wash and polish. I'm redoing and fixing everything now. Got rid of all the spiders, ripped all the old carpet, cleaned and sanitized. Tomorrow, I'll be adding new carpet, got it from home depot, pretty affordable stuff. When all that is done, I'll most likely work toward building something similar to what you have. Great video!
Love it! How did you end up adhering the carpet back on? Also did you do it in one piece or multiple?
@ConnorLee I still haven't done the carpet. It turns out they don't sell the type I wanted. The type they do have does not stretch at all. I've kinda put it off for now, but I'll do it eventually with the correct material haha. Contact cement and/or super 77 or super 90 by 3M can be used to adhere it to the shell.
Very nice setup, love the storage!
super cool setup! thank u for sharing the topper
This was a well thought out platform. Thanks for sharing
Love your setup man. Really inspiring me to build one in my Tacoma
some good ideas there, thanks
I've been obsessed with these builds lately, This one is so cool! Love it.
Great job
Sweet setup
This is a great build!
Mate, well done. It's great! 👍👍👏👏🍻🍻
Superiority & Comfort all in one, real nice job 👍
Have a damn love hate relationship with these videos. Each one gives me ideas on how I could better my design. It's been like 8 months and not a single thing built yet 😂😂. Killer setup man.
Thanks for the video. So far the best utilization of space I have seen. Y'all did an excellent job!
Super clean setup, this is great! I'm very jealous of that tall bed topper.
This build is A1
Thank you! Means a lot
And its a manual.. what an awesome truck and setup
Awesome , great 👍 job !
I've got same 1998 Tacoma SR5 manual v6 & same bed shell topper (in forest green) w/3" lift, and exact same alloy wheels.. I do not want any other truck. Don't want a Ford, Ram or Silverado. I took off every decal and love the stealthy look.
I hear that haha I love my Toyota. It’s been a dream of a truck and so easy to work on too
I really like the simplicity of the wood setup, good ideas build in and looks pratical.
Nice work.
nice set up bro! got me wanting build in my truck. thx
So stoked I came across your vid. Not many old mini tacoma builds out there. I've got an 04 with the xtra cab as well. Most builds on youtube are the new bigger version, so it's nice to see how much space you can get out of the smaller 6 ft. bed. Great build! THX
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the support man! Gotta show these first gens some love too
OUTSTANDING!!!
You have absolutely nailed it ! K.I.S.S.
Simplicity at its best !
Make a cover door for the end of that counter and used small magnets to keep in place, and a handle or pull of some type? 👍👍👍🤠
Ooo I like the magnet idea. That would a super sleek way to do it! Much love to ya!
Nice build. Always some other idea will come up.
i wanna buy a 1st gen tacoma and do this so bad. so bad ass man well done
You have really perfected a simple way to achieve a maximal layout. Nice job for sure. I'm thinking about this layout for my truck.

Truck builds are tricky. I've racked my brain on mine on so many designs. I had the bed sideways which was fine, but I like yours with the optional simple extensions. I like having a U shape to sit. I would consider copying your design with these changes: I'm not sure if I need a wood floor as I have just insulated truck bed with Kilt and I have a Bed Rug (Best money I spent.), that would reduce some weight.
The bed frame I would have complete access from top with bed slates on a frame that can fold up, again that reduces weight. And I would do the same flip up design on the side table. Reason being, I will be living in it full time and cannot slide out cooking gear, et all.
I have a pass through window (again, money well spent as I had dogs that would go back and forth, sadly, they have crossed the rainbow).I will be taking the back seat out of my double cab Chevy Silverado and that will have my cooler that I can reach through for items, my "Closet" (a bar with hanging clothes, cuz I'm a girl), and tools, (yes, girls like me like tools)...extra water, and a toilet, (separates smell from sleeping area,(I had a garlicky dinner once and whew!!!) and I can climb through for emergencies/get aways (not gracefully, but can be done).
Thank you for the ideas, I was stuck cuz I let my imagination run a lil too wild, hehe.
Update: I’m trading the Chevy for a Sienna cuz truck died in mid of road… again… and Chevy can’t find the issue so I’m done. Now I will have to flex my brain for different build.
wow great build! efficient and easy living. well done!
Thanks Jim!
Looks great, I'm loving it.
🙏🏼🤘🏼
Best & simplest layout I've seen yet! Great job!!!
Tyty!
That is so awesome. I'm gonna work with that for my own build.
Nice build! Great ideas 💡
Thank you!
Love how simple your double bed is!
Simplicity was the goal and IM very happy with how it worked out! Thanks for watching!
Very clever design. Nice work Dude.
Cant take credit for all the design features as I was surely influenced by others but thank you!
Nice setup. Clever use of the space
Thank you! Cant say they were all my original ideas, but it has turned into a really neat use of space!
Awesome set up. I’ve spent many nights camping in the back of capped Tacomas but I was younger and I just slept in the bed with some blankets.
This is exactly what I’m building just ordered the tall topper
Love the setup! Brilliant use of space.
All of the cars I’ve owned are small Japanese coupes, but recently I’ve been meaning to get a pickup instead, and the other day I was telling my girlfriend that it would be sick to do like a camping setup on the bed but that I had no idea how, and this is great inspiration, thanks!
Well done
That’s dope
Outstanding setup my friend. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mike, really appreciate it! 🤙🏼
My husband built ours like yours, we love it very functional and practical...good job...
Cool man!
one of the best and most simple builds. Looks great! can't wait to do my own sooner than later.
Thank you! Best of luck on your buildout
This is a very smart economical built. Love the creativeness around your own. Can taste that you are satisfied and it opens the door of future convenient improvements and out door excursions. ( Camp a lot here in South Africa, sleeping in my little camper🎣 with bed extender) Good luck, it looks perfect to me.
I truly love this build of yours. Good luck with your adventures buddy. 🇦🇺
Thank you kindly!
Great job! I love all the options you have for sleeping and storage. Well designed!
Thanks so much!
Any videos on how to? Great job 👏
Self built, very versatile! Love it!
Thank you!
Conner your build is awesome keep campin bro
Thanks Mike!
The Tacomas from that time period are the best! I’ve had a couple and I miss them
Couldn’t agree more with this!
Nice!
That is an awesome setup man, you really thought things through for capable and function
Thanks! Definitely took inspiration from others, but Im really happy with how it came out
Awesome setup!
Thank you!
Sweet build !! 👌👍✌
Thank you!
Dude thank you for taking the time to research and share about the Leer 122. Very helpful.
Great video.
Edit: fully legit comment section. Sagacity, wisdom, community.
Truck Bed Camper Build; I've watched quite a few of these over the years as I've got a 3/4 Ton, '96 Chevy LB pick-up, with a recent Leer Legend Camper Shell, and all in excellent condition.
My comment is not about your build, but more about all those builds I've seen which are missing a critical component: a thin aluminum sheet that comes in a roll, like Aluminum Foil,
but not found in your normal hardware store. It was shown/described on a TH-cam video I saw a few years ago by a home contractor. Sorry, but that's all I can remember to help you locate it.
What I found so interesting in the video was that this "Aluminum Foil" like material reduced heating costs by more than 50% when installed in homes he built! So I thought this could help
tremendously camping out in winter, Alaska, and more.
A well-presented video by you on this subject.
Great build here; love it. Motivates me to do it, too! Thanks for posting. Looking forward to your experience using it. Enjoy!
Thank you! Stoked you’re enjoying it!
Use a magnet for your door I like your set up
Amaizing
That's a sweet set up. I do something similar in my OBS Chevy. I travel a ton for hiking, camping, fishing and hunting. Having a place to stay (comfortably) is such a game changer and money saver.
Very nice 👍 I like it !!
Thank you! Cheers!
sweet truck and camper setup!
Thank you!
Good work!
Thanks Bill!
Love it.... great job!
Thank you!
One of the best builds ive seen,getting ready to do my build to my 92gmc 8ft bed..thanks for the tips!
Enjoy the build! You’ve got a few more feet than me! Lots of room for activities
Clean and simple taco.. can’t go wrong
Couldn’t agree more
Ive watched several simple builds but yours is the best basic one. Thanks!! Good Luck!!
Thanks a million! I do like how it’s setup a lot. Still never done examining and looking for improvements!
Thanks for swinging by the channel friend
Lookin good...big up your dad, drive er easy!! Merry xmas!!
Merry Christmas to you too brotha!
Love the build. 👍 👌
Thank you!
Love the simplicity of this setup. I sooo want a long bed….i have the short bed full four door tacoma. Great job!!
Thanks William! Simplicity was in mind for this
This looks simple but extremely smart use of space!
Thank you!
A good practical build
Thank you!
I think I have landed on this design if im going to build one. Seems to be a nice, easy to build, and well laid out plan. Room for one easy, and sleep room although tight but possible for two. I think I would want extra sleep pad under me though when the matress is laid out for two. Thanks for the idea on this set up!
This the one 👌🏻
Looks really nice. For a small truck, you have utilized the space very, very well.
Thank you! Still some minor tweaks to utilize more space but I’m really happy with it thus far
Very cool
🙏🏼🤘🏼
Very nice. A little late for this build, but on mine, I raised the bottoms of the drawers about 1/4 of an inch so the full bottom wasn't rubbing on the case. It reduced the friction by a ton.
Excellent - thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Love it!
Thanks!
Perfect build! Enjoy!
Thanks David!
I love your build probably going to try and mimic it. I'm a hiker and have always stayed in the backcountry, but I'm learning as I get older that setting a day aside to hit a campground for a hot shower is nice, or having the option to avoid a bad weather day isn't so bad. Thanks for sharing it's very cool.
Thanks for watching and happy adventures!
Nice build on the perfect truck to do so. I would stain and polyurethane all the wood for moisture resistance and longevity. It's weird how most solo truck campers always seem to put the bed and large pull out drawer on the driver's side. 98% of the builds if seen do this. I personally would build all of that on the passenger side just for weight balancing reasons. I'd usually be driving alone and because of that my weight on driver's side and bed weight on passenger side would balance the weight a little more evenly. Just a thought. Great job and layout.
This is a great idea. Thank you !!
Agree, and using driver side for storage means you can go higher than truck bed and not block driver’s line of sight. That and I’ve slept with wife on left side, so I am used to getting off on right side of bed… 😁
I dont really know what to say..this is just awesome =)
Well thank you!
I like that.
Connor, well done sir! I have a Tacoma and a smaller fiber glass shell. I have put a twin mattress in the back when I was commuting for work. It worked pretty well. Hard to cancel out the traffic going past. I like your set up very much. Especially, all of the storage space. Thanks much. Dusty Morrison, Southern California.
Ayyy cheers Dusty and happy truck campin!
I really like this build. I’ve been truck camping for work in the back seats of my f250 since last summer. I really like your design thanks for show casing
Happy to share it! Thanks for watching
