I am a old great grandma and I sure miss my old camping days. But thanks to Domelife I can live it again thanks to you guys. I really appreciate your videos!!!! Thank you so much!!!! Love you
The H3 is such an underrated overlander. I absolutely love mine. If I didn’t also have to use it to carry my kids I would’ve done a platform as soon as I bought. Nice clean looking build y’all.
Yea i like this. I was searching because im going to so the same to my H3, i figured id watch someone else and get some inspiration and insight. Im going to go the same route. I like it.
I did pretty much did the same thing to my old 2002 VW Jetta TDI last summer. I removed the rear seats and the passenger front seat...now there is a 10 foot opening from the trunk all the way to the front floorboard on the passenger side. I have put a few 2 inch layers of foam for a bed and it's super comfortable for sleeping. My 53 qt. refrigerator fits perfectly where the front passenger seat used to be. I love the fact that my little Diesel Jetta gets 52mpg out on the open road...she like to run 75/80 mph and seems the faster I go the better the mpgs ! Oh yeah, I just bought myself a 2006 Hummer H3 yesterday... and I will definitely be following your build plans for the rear of my H3 ! Great video ! LIKED/SUBSCRIBED !
so ready to get to the backcountry -my 2008 H3 in garage, 180k miles w/timing chain issue/rebuilding engine - awesome 3/4 ply fits purrrfect - thanks for taking us along the adventures
Looks good I am doing my Hummer the same way today got my seats out going to go get my plywood be like a small pickup truck and also can use it for camping.
I love your show. You guys are fun and entertaining to watch. You give a comprehensive list of places to visit in Arkansas. It's a cut above All the Chuck Dovish 'awww shucks' travel videos. I grew up in Mountain View but I live in Seattle now I encourage you guys to come up here and explore Washington State. There are many people from Arkansas up here.
Wish you guys would’ve measured the inside length. Wondering if a 5’6” guy could make that into a bed without having to go diagonal. But I’ll just go measure mine. Great video! Keep it up!
Super great job guys!!we did the same thing in our Toyota 4runner for sleeping in the truck!i take our tent but to be honest I am can e chicken 🐔!! sometimes I sleep in the truck!!we are very proud of Kelly she is very brave to camp and sleep in the tent all the time i hope you enjoy your extra room in the truck to travel!
I love all your diy episodes You guys work together so well and are very into your projects Keep it up I will be watching and sharing your shows with all my camping friends ❤️
Just an FYI...You are one of the BEST channel I look forward to watching all the time. Your content are always good...love the gourmet trail cooking by Kelly and Cody’s trail hiking ventures, and info on those trails. 👍🏻❤️
I did something very similar to my H3. After a bit it started to rattle and clunk going over rocks and bumps. Grab a couple sets of skateboard wheels use them as shock absorbers!
Fantastic video! We have a 2007 H3 (94,500 miles) and I absolutely love this vehicle! We never use the back seats. We use the H3 as our Dog (2 big Akitas) Transportation Limo, though the folded back seats become a nuisance for them and us! It looks so convenient relatively straightforward to modify. I hope to get many years and miles out of ours. I do take care of our H3 mechanically. Thank you and I look forward to catching up with all of your videos and blog now!
awesome team,fantastic job.well done guys.might I suggest something,since the ole hummer has been so good to u guys over the years,I bet she would love a complete detail cleaning.I know,it would go right back to camping but,I bet there are other viewers might like the same thing.love u guys,please stay safe out there.God bless y’all,a fan in Korea 🙏🇺🇸
Nice work! Not a lot of H3s out there overlanding. I won’t give up my back seat, so I’ve been working in the opposite direction - a raised platform in the rear storage area that’s more level with the folded seats. I’ll be curious to see how you use the extra space you created.
This is the tutorial video I was needing.. what were the exact measurements? 41 wide by what was the length after you removed 11 inches off... and the legs you made were 8 inches tall with support spacers. L ? X 41w x 8 tall Awesome video guys! I hope I can remove the seats as easily as you both did!
Currently building out my hummer! Did you guys have the measurements for the platform written down anywhere? 😂 Id like to make sure mine are right before I cut an expensive piece of plywood
It is. Still original on both. But just replaced the whole front end and a new dif. Have been using Royal Purple full synthetic since I got her back in Jun of 2010 with only 54k.
So I’m just gonna throw this out there I have an h3 and I understand that space is at a premium so with metal prices the way they are I purchased an arkeson roof rack 50 x80 but I knew from the beginning I wasn’t going to mount it on top of the luggage rack bars because it would have it sitting over a foot high including the 6 inch sides of the rack but being a cnc guy I designed a mounting bracket and cut six of them welded them to the rack and now it’s only 7 inches above the roof and I still fit in the garage.... so if you’re interested and have the means to weld them on I’d be happy to cut you a set and send them to you it wouldn’t cost me anything except postage I really wouldn’t mind I know how expensive a gobi rack is and I’m not saying this is anywhere near that in quality but it’s dang near as big and looks good
maybe you could cut the plywood in half and put back one seat for when Johnny Wild comes along that would make it modular and you could go full or half area storage
It’s always fun to watch someone destroy there car? I also found it suspicious that Kelly’s shorts and the carpet are the very same color? 🤷♂️ or maybe you just like gray? 🤔 see ya Thursday! 👍👍👍🤗
Perfect. Just what I was looking for.
Now we need a video showing us how you pack with all the nice new space. Please!!
Good job guys. It wood be a good place to sleep on a stormy night.
my thoughts as well
I am a old great grandma and I sure miss my old camping days. But thanks to Domelife I can live it again thanks to you guys. I really appreciate your videos!!!! Thank you so much!!!! Love you
What's holding you back Cindi...hell, I'm 75 and just getting started !
omg kelly and cody doing a build....my day is complete.
I've never wanted the new bronco more then ever after watching this. Sweet job!
Cool good job, reminded me of what i did in 1976 to my 73 Dodge van. Thanks for sharing your diy
The H3 is such an underrated overlander. I absolutely love mine. If I didn’t also have to use it to carry my kids I would’ve done a platform as soon as I bought. Nice clean looking build y’all.
Agree 100%
i'm gonna have to borrow this idea, i'll give it back at some point.
you guys could sleep back there now,thinking of Cody..when i lost my drone.wwcd..then found it this morning.yay!
Codys too tall

LIKED/SUBSCRIBED !
Excellent job. But where is Johnny Wild going to sit?
That’s what I was thinking 😂😂
He’s ok with sitting on the platform 4 time a year
so ready to get to the backcountry -my 2008 H3 in garage, 180k miles w/timing chain issue/rebuilding engine - awesome 3/4 ply fits purrrfect - thanks for taking us along the adventures

Great video! Keep it up!
yep definitely getting ready for a dog, had to re-watch this video to be 100% certain. gonna be so fun!!!!!!!
Perfect! Now you have more room for your gear. But next time you head out West, Johnny Wild will have to follow in his own truck!
Great job getting that perfectly level y’all.
Super great job guys!!we did the same thing in our Toyota 4runner for sleeping in the truck!i take our tent but to be honest I am can e chicken 🐔!! sometimes I sleep in the truck!!we are very proud of Kelly she is very brave to camp and sleep in the tent all the time i hope you enjoy your extra room in the truck to travel!
Great job Cody and Kelly, Cody, you were a carpenter at some point I can tell.
Very Outstanding Team work!!
Wow you guys did an incredible job 👏 I'm really impressed with how that turned out. What a great idea 💡
I love all your diy episodes
You guys work together so well and are very into your projects

Beautiful job👍👍👍
Many many thanks
Back seat delete! 👍 I'm going to do this to my truck.
It’s worth it
Nice job! Pretty clean!
So AWESOME !!! Another GREAT episode and GREAT craftsmanship !!
Watch'in y'all work so hard made me hungry. Whats for supper Kelly? Oh nice job on the platform!
I did something very similar to my H3. After a bit it started to rattle and clunk going over rocks and bumps. Grab a couple sets of skateboard wheels use them as shock absorbers!
Excellent job on the platform I think I know where this idea is going in the future.
Reminds me of my old platform and cubby. Used the exact same carpet too
Fantastic video! We have a 2007 H3 (94,500 miles) and I absolutely love this vehicle! We never use the back seats.

Sweet. Thanks.
Well done.should have done that long ago,you will enjoy the extra space
Excellent. You will enjoy that so much. Now you have room for a camping puppy.😎
Great job! Looks great
Looks great! Good solution and way, way more storage.
LOOKIN GOOD 👍! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH 🙏 ALWAYS ON YOUR JOURNEYS ! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT'S NEXT . ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨
Nicely done guys!! What a fantastic amount of space you gained by making the platform!!
Great job :) love the hummer H3
Great job guys! Looking forward to seeing it in use 👍
love this video
Awesome video. Thanks for this.
Excellent, love modifying rigs.
Great job!
Cool video. Couldn't help but wonder if Jonathan could drive that vehicle though... not much room to put seat back.
awesome team,fantastic job.well done guys.might I suggest something,since the ole hummer has been so good to u guys over the years,I bet she would love a complete detail cleaning.I know,it would go right back to camping but,I bet there are other viewers might like the same thing.love u guys,please stay safe out there.God bless y’all,a fan in Korea 🙏🇺🇸
We might do that 🤔
Great job and great video...

Nice hummer h3
Nice job!
Do you guys fit laying down there?
Very nice work! But, where will our grand babies ride?
😂
Amazing 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Nice job!!!!! Smoooooth
This is the tutorial video I was needing.. what were the exact measurements? 41 wide by what was the length after you removed 11 inches off... and the legs you made were 8 inches tall with support spacers.
L ? X 41w x 8 tall
Awesome video guys! I hope I can remove the seats as easily as you both did!
Always good to have more space, dang it mrs Kelly, u didn't cook nothing ,next time
Great job! My husband wants to know if your Hummer H3 is a diesel?
It’s not
@@CodyandKellie impressive!!!
COOL!
Awesome 👍
Great job!
How heavy are the back seats?
70lbs give or take
@@CodyandKellie Quite a bit for just seats. Wonder if ride felt lighter driving around?
Currently building out my hummer! Did you guys have the measurements for the platform written down anywhere? 😂 Id like to make sure mine are right before I cut an expensive piece of plywood
I love it!!!!!
Is that 246k on the original engine and transmission?
It is. Still original on both. But just replaced the whole front end and a new dif. Have been using Royal Purple full synthetic since I got her back in Jun of 2010 with only 54k.
The platform is 3/4” thick by 43 1/4” wide. What is the length?
Is that a 2007?
2006
The only thing I would have done different is that I would have covered the entire back with plywood and carpet. Great job though.
put a bed too
Where will Johnny cutie sit though?!?!
On the platform, he approved
But....where is Jonathan going to ride now when you all three go kayaking?
He said he’s ok with sitting on the platform
Where Jonathan gonna sit?
He said he will sit in the platform. Only to shuttle
I couldn’t hear the dimensions and lengths widths used to make it
👍
Doing a project with plywood! Well now you’re just showing off…. LoL
😂
🦋🦋🦋
Ok
The plywood is 41 3/4” wide. What is the length?
So I’m just gonna throw this out there I have an h3 and I understand that space is at a premium so with metal prices the way they are I purchased an arkeson roof rack 50 x80 but I knew from the beginning I wasn’t going to mount it on top of the luggage rack bars because it would have it sitting over a foot high including the 6 inch sides of the rack but being a cnc guy I designed a mounting bracket and cut six of them welded them to the rack and now it’s only 7 inches above the roof and I still fit in the garage.... so if you’re interested and have the means to weld them on I’d be happy to cut you a set and send them to you it wouldn’t cost me anything except postage I really wouldn’t mind I know how expensive a gobi rack is and I’m not saying this is anywhere near that in quality but it’s dang near as big and looks good
Thanks for the offer but not at this time. Much appreciated though. Thanks for watching!
oh no where is JONATHON GOING TO SIT
On the platform 😂he’s cool with it
maybe you could cut the plywood in half and put back one seat for when Johnny Wild comes along that would make it modular and you could go full or half area storage
(no offense) Are you telling me, that the back seats of a Hummer, one of the most American cars ever, are attached to the car using METRIC bolts?!? ;D
I guess so, it is the H3
You said Your Hummer, you have a H3, others may have a H1, I have a. H2, the seats do not come out or move forward like yours.
It’s always fun to watch someone destroy there car?
I also found it suspicious that Kelly’s shorts and the carpet are the very same color? 🤷♂️ or maybe you just like gray? 🤔 see ya Thursday!
👍👍👍🤗
It’s only destroyed if you can’t put it back together😉
My hearing is terrible. I thought you said dumb life. Lol
use the closed captioned feature
You just ask a your wife is 8 inches good 'and kept a strait face .
😂
I did a similar project in my H3, works great! You can check it out here:
