Привет 👋 Нужно добавить занавески на окна!, в холодную погоду от окон не будет велеть холодом, а в солнечную, теплую погоду солнце жарить как в ми роволновке😉!!! Спасибо за видео 🤝
@@nknal7124 I was actually talking about this for when I go back to the Carolinas in may but it's very different fishing out there. Might be something I give a try on the channel.
Awesome setup, man. Im getting laid off from my job later this year or early next year, and im seriously considering making me an overland rig to go traveling for a few months when it happens
if you know you are getting laid off in the future start looking for a new job now wtf. some people dont even get 1 hour notice they are about to be laid off.
I worked for a company from 2008-2014 I showed up on time every day, I never called out, I busted my ass every day and always did what I was told. The boss called everyone into the office right before lunch on a Friday and said everyone is terminated they sold the company, no severance pay, no thank you for you dedication and hard work. Just flat out see ya later. It took about a month to finally get my first check from unemployment and unemployment was only like $300 a week back then, wasn’t even enough to pay rent. If you have money saved I would consider saving it unless you are planning to buy a vehicle to live in. I would probably start getting a resume out there if I were you. I’m not trying to tell you what to do I’m simply trying to give you some advice. Not saying don’t chase your dreams but always make sure you have some type of backup plan as a safety net. Good luck to you dude
why is everyone yapping lol. he knows he’s getting laid off so he’s still gonna be making money until they do it. maybe he has enough saved up to go on a 4 month trip? why does he have to keep looking right now when he can take a small break between his jobs??
What I was planning with my Tacoma ACLB as an inexpensive solution to wedge campers/Project M. Yes the BedRug will help with insulation and covering the tailgate gap. You still might need to keep the gasket seal.
I do love the project M though. If I do go camper in the future it would be between that and the radica moonlander. The bed sealing for sure helped, hoping to get a bed rug at some point. May have to re-cut my bed set up to fit the bed once I add that though. Oh well.
I have a long bed tacoma, 6' bed so regular mattresses are too long. I have not looked at a hess but I got a bunk mattress from camper world. Bunk mattress is exactly 6' long. The 4" foam mattress is dense enough prevent my elbow from hitting the bottom when rolling over. my hips do not touch bottom.
Great looking setup, and love the Hest gear, been using their pillow for about a year and a half so far, and just recently picked up the foamy wide for my forester, and I'll be looking forward to seeing how it is soon.
Yeah I wish I had this mattress when I used to have a forester and slept in the bed. Hopefully it works out great for you! The pillow is great, was too filled for my liking when I first got it but I removed some filling and it’s perfect.
@@OXFOOTI'm sure it will! Thought it was gonna be a bit too big in the Subaru, but realized I have a self inflating mattress I won in a contest that's the same size that worked just fine. Kind of debating if I want to take advantage of the REI sale again and get the Hest blanket as well, or if I just want to keep using what I have.
Nice simple little setup!! I would have to argue that my 30 inch wide 8 inch thick mattress is more comfortable! 😂 i rocked a 6.5 foot cab hieght topper for 5 years, so happy to have an 8 foot box and tall topper now!! Either way get outdoors any way you can!!
What mattress do you have? Yeah I guess and 8” thick one would be more comfortable depending on the material. This one is also 30” wide but cold weather resistant memory foam.
@@SuperdutyExplorer oh it’s like a mattress for a bed. Yeah that does look comfy. I guess I was more thinking of foldable/rollable camping mattresses. That is a good find though if you have the storage space for it when you’re not using it, could be a great way to go.
The struts are something on my radar. I’m still debating just starting from scratch and going with drawers. I really just prefer at least 1 drawer when camping. If you pull them out you get a little more prep surface when cooking. That being said until then, struts may be the way.
Yeah I want to do the webbing above the bed as well. I’ve also seen people add shelves up top by using the rack mounting bolts that come through to the roof of the camper.
Yeah I want to do the drawer but I may have to start over first that. The structure is compromised from the top if I wanted to build a drawer. Realistically I guess I could just use a new top and cut it to the shape of the one I have now.
So far I’ve been really happy with this set up. For sure need to get some better window insulation going for sure but I’m loving the truck bed camping.
@@OXFOOT Im more of an urban stealth camper. I hate all these influencers who have these 100k-200k vans and claim they're "camping" when they just have a house on wheels. They also have all the gizmoz and gadgets which is insufferable. Simple is better. Most urban stealh campers are doing it for financial reasons, so whenever i see some "influencer" with a 100k-200k ambulance build; it just grinds my gears
@@osrselgin_2_1bcx54 you read my mind. I’ve been in the industry for a little while now and there’s not too many folks in the industry I vibe with. People taking stuff just to review it even if it’s expensive. I’ve turned down 99% of the stuff that’s come my way and I don’t want to build the newest and best thing, I’d rather just make the experience as minimalist as possible. The more stealth I can get, the more I can sneak camp while skiing/biking or anything outdoorsy. I’m not just camping to play with trinkets at camp.
Awesome, looking to make something similar and appreciate the layout and ideas!! Question - does the buddy heater cause condensation when you use it? I've read propane heaters provide a "wet" heat. Thanks!
Yeah it does but so does breathing in there at night. I have a whole video on diesel heaters but I’ve been just rocking with no heat and the heated blanket and just taking the buddy heater as an emergency backup.
Sweet build, very similar to what I plan on doing next with my Tacoma. What is the light you have inside the topper that comes on when you open the back?
I think about it sometimes but I made my choice oh well. The point of not having them on both sides was to test and I think having them open on both sides would be the way to go if I’m doing it again.
Nice build! I would add a canopy/awning off back so that you can use your tailgate and be covered. Also, do you have a power station/supply for back there to run small electronics etc. ?
Awesome setup bro. I was going to do the same with a long bed tacoma but I ended up with a 4runner but basically the same idea. I was curious though, do you know how much power that Ignik blanket pulls if you ran it all night? I know it's hard to describe power amounts but best as you can I guess haha. thanks
The awning is a kammokn awning, it’s not cheap by any means. It mounts to crossbars with their hardware pretty easy. It’s one of those things where if the ease of use is worth it for you then buy it. For me it’s worth the price but I refuse to use regular awnings after a few bad experiences.
I’m getting a new lift next week so I’ll start shooting that video very soon. But what I have now is a Bilstein 2.5”/3” lift with 35x12.5x17 with SSW Apex 17x9 with a 0 offset.
How did you decide where to fasten the anchor for your turnbuckles? Seems like mounting it higher than the anchor point on the truck (instead of lower, like you did) would help it keep from bouncing better.
The thing attached to the tailgate? It’s called a Billie bars and it’s a flat surface with cup holders and a non slip surface. It basically just bolts into the factory holes.
Is that Ignik electric blanket worth the price tag? $200 is a LOT. On the Hest mattress, are you a side sleeper? I've yet to find a mattress that doesn't squash flat from me sleeping on my side.
So it’s weird I’m a side sleeper but I mostly sleep on my back when I camp. That’s mostly because years ago I was a hammock camper and a ground tent camper before that. This matteress is the only one I’ve ever side slept on and I’m finding it surprisingly comfortable. I will say heat has a nice 100 night or something like that return policy if you don’t love it so I have no problems recommending it because I think it’s the best. It probably won’t close in a thin tent but it’s easily able to be rolled up and stored in your car.
Considered it but it never seems to make sense on my build. Didn’t work on my 4Runner because of the hatch and I suspect the same on my Tundra but I’m not sure. It’s a possibility but I would need one that requires no legs and fits over the topper hatch.
@@harryshaw4727 It depends, do you value having stainless steel high quality stuff? then yes, but if you want just something to cook with sea to summit makes some decent stuff for about 3/4 the price or a cast iron will work. Big thing for me is not cooking with "nonstick" since that stuff flaking off when you cook drops testosterone levels and causes other issues, so for me stainless steel/carbon steel or cast iron is worth it.
@@harryshaw4727 But I'm also weird about avoiding plastics, anything soy and non stick pan stuff anywhere near my food at all cost so I'm sort of a freak when it comes to that stuff so take that with some grain of salt. I love it, you might like cast iron better if you've cooked on that for years.
When it’s raining, how do you open the back window and get in without your bed getting soaked? That’s the issue I found with my Tacoma and cap. ✌🏼 Great build.
Yeah I never really get it “soaked” but it does get wet from the water running off the top of the rear window opening… the only idea I’ve had so far is to create some sort of gutter but I haven’t done it yet. I am rigging up a contraption now so I can easily hook up my moonshade but I don’t want to have to do that every single time it rains.
On the bed, no unfortunately. If I got the higher height topper I could. The wheel wells make it so that anything you build has to be a bit too tall. That being said you can sit in the middle section and fully sit up.
Sweet build. If you dont mind, what did you pay for the ranch topper? I had an 02 and 2011 Tundra with A.R.E. topper. I agree with you about the bed being cold. My current 2020 Tundra has spray in bed liner. The previous two had the plastic liner. I prefer the plastic liner. Because you won't have to caulk to keep cold air out. And it protects against things getting stuck in between like leaves, wood chips, or anything you're loading in the bed. It's also easier to pull things out.
I optioned the heck out of it and I think it was like $3k. A little cheaper than some of the big names but I also didn’t get the most expensive one they had. Mine is like middle of the pack.
tires are 35x12.5x17 nitto ridge grapplers and SSW Apex in a 17 with a 0 offset. There is some rubbing so I'm still waiting on a bumper in order to fix that.
if this was a tacoma i would of paid for the wood and materials just to have the bed and the other piece of wood built for me. ps not constructionally inclined/living in a apartment
Not as it sits right now. I mean I could do it but not having the windows covered would make it tough. I want to be able not have any electronics light able to be seen from the outside and currently if my phone goes off it lights up the whole truck bed.
@@OXFOOTI wanted to buy a truck and build a similar setup, but stealth is a important to me, since be stealth enough to park in the city offers lots of flexibility. I might consider build from a minivan or smaller van like Toyota Sienna / Honda Odyssey or Chevy Express, which has more space inside and can be totally stealth anywhere. However, in the non-urban area, your setup is pretty good. Wish you best on the road and enjoy.
I think it's better to buy an SUV if you're going to close off the bed. SUV is much better because you can just fold the rear seats, and put the mattress. Less problems. And you can stay warm.
I used to have an SUV and imo it’s no comparison. The back of an SUV isn’t going to be flat so you’ll have to build a platform that will take up the entire back seat. Then you have to take all of your storage out at night when you sleep. Maybe some people make it work but I was way too tall in my 4Runner and that’s a fairly long vehicle. I found sleeping in the back of both my 4Runner and Forester to be very uncomfortable and cumbersome. Did a cross country trip in my forested back in the day and got tired of sleeping on the seat bump. The truck is perfect for sleeping inside. It’s doable but nowhere near as comfortable.
My truck says about 16 most of the time. It’s worse in the city but slightly better on the highway. Denver is weird because it’s so mountainous I can get anywhere from 30 going down mountain to like 8 going up steep mountains even on highways. Generally around 16-17. My tires aren’t crazy different from stock at 35”.
8:14 LOL dude its silk its not comfortable, why not foam or cloud cotton? hahaha Your blanket is silk your jacket is silk wtf how could anyone sleep with that......cotton is the game like you see in mansions
Thanks for checking out the video! What do you think I should add to this setup to make it better?

For the bed caulking, after you apply it, spray windex on it and you can spread it smoothly and it will not stick to your fingers
The bed rug will take care of the tailgate issue and make the flor warmer. Get it.
I’m working on it. I think I’ll at least get the floor one and then buy the full one down the road.
Buildout looks incredible!
Thanks! Still think there’s a ton of improvements that can be done but I’m happy with it right now.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video! I’ll for sure be refining this going forward. Seeing what works and what doesn’t.
Nice setup for 1 person! You could install some struts on the bed top so you don't have to hold it up to gain access to the huge storage area below.
The struts are something on my radar. I’m still debating just starting from scratch and going with drawers. I really just prefer at least 1 drawer when camping. If you pull them out you get a little more prep surface when cooking. That being said until then, struts may be the way.
Very cool! Love the Hest mattress. Arguably the most comfortable mattress I own
It’s leaps and bounds beyond anything else I’ve tried!
Love it! Can’t wait to see this continue to get built out! 👏🏼👊🏼
Yeah theres for sure some things I can improve on. Just from the comments alone I've gotten some great suggestions for improvements,
Make a slide out drawer for under bed instead of the hinged door.
Think like a sailor using webbing in the ceiling can hold bedding and utensils.
Yeah I want to do the webbing above the bed as well. I’ve also seen people add shelves up top by using the rack mounting bolts that come through to the roof of the camper.
Yeah I want to do the drawer but I may have to start over first that. The structure is compromised from the top if I wanted to build a drawer. Realistically I guess I could just use a new top and cut it to the shape of the one I have now.

Sweet build, very similar to what I plan on doing next with my Tacoma. What is the light you have inside the topper that comes on when you open the back?
Do you ever feel the need for another side window that opens like the drive side of the camper?
I think about it sometimes but I made my choice oh well. The point of not having them on both sides was to test and I think having them open on both sides would be the way to go if I’m doing it again.
Nice build! I would add a canopy/awning off back so that you can use your tailgate and be covered. Also, do you have a power station/supply for back there to run small electronics etc. ?
Couldn’t find one that fit off the back. The one I have off the side is too wide to fit on the back of the topper well.
Yeah a bluetti AC200, it’s a 2000watt battery bank, that’s what runs the heated blanket and charges my phone and batteries and all that.
First reason why the tundra is better than a taco, beds are bigger 🤣👍, but still love the tacos

How did you decide where to fasten the anchor for your turnbuckles? Seems like mounting it higher than the anchor point on the truck (instead of lower, like you did) would help it keep from bouncing better.
What's that tailgate table looking thing ?
The thing attached to the tailgate? It’s called a Billie bars and it’s a flat surface with cup holders and a non slip surface. It basically just bolts into the factory holes.
Is that Ignik electric blanket worth the price tag? $200 is a LOT. On the Hest mattress, are you a side sleeper? I've yet to find a mattress that doesn't squash flat from me sleeping on my side.
I think it’s worth it but I used this one from Amazon for 2 years with now issues; it’s just not nearly as adjustable.

So it’s weird I’m a side sleeper but I mostly sleep on my back when I camp. That’s mostly because years ago I was a hammock camper and a ground tent camper before that.

Not sure if the bed in that truck is long enough to sleep in, but I have a feeling it’s bigger in person than I think it is.

@OXFOOT yeah I agree. Try the plastic liner. Both of my previous Tundras had the plastic liner. I prefer them more.
So how will this work in a Jetta or Lincoln Mkc
Do you mean the sleeping platform? It’s built custom for the tundra so you’d have to make one specific for your vehicle.

My truck says about 16 most of the time. It’s worse in the city but slightly better on the highway. Denver is weird because it’s so mountainous I can get anywhere from 30 going down mountain to like 8 going up steep mountains even on highways. Generally around 16-17. My tires aren’t crazy different from stock at 35”.
