- After many months of building the Tacoma it is finally done! Huge shoutout to Four Wheel Campers, Mountain Yotas, Bowen Customs, Goat Shocks, Long Range America, Red Arc and all the incredible partners that helped make this possible.

Absolutely right
Man, what a return! Thank you so much for trusting us to help with this build. We can’t wait to see the next videos you have in the chamber from your Alaska trip!
You guys knocked it out of the park
Yup Toyota should pay you for advertising their tacoma. U ROCk it!! Awesome job.Cannot wait for yoir alaska trip!!
Drew is back and he’s DONE IT AGAIN! What a rad build. Definitely something all of us aspire to have in the arsenal one day
Im learning a lot from this guy Drew he is Great
That front shot of the Tacoma @ 1:00 switching different terrains/shot was really really cool.
Welcome to the world of Toyotas; you won’t be disappointed! I have such a hard time sitting still even for 5-minute videos and somehow this 33-minute video went by in the blink of an eye. Glad to have you back, Drew, and glad you had a safe trip in Alaska!
Glad to be a part of this build! Awesome video Drew. Seriously next level.
Drew you are not only kicking serious ass with your Overlanding game but you are inspirational and living the life my friend. Keep up the amazing travels and videos and stay safe this winter!
This is by far the best build I have seen in ages. Absolutely amazing set up!!
Man... the quality of US DIYers is so unmatched... I watch Brazilian (I live here) camper videos and when I reach out the US stuff. PHEW!
wow, this camper is an amazing upgrade to the jeep. glad you've got it up and running, looking forward to 2024 videos.
You’ve been missed Drew. What an amazing rig! I’m currently a Jeep guy, and I’m gunna miss your Jeep content BUT my last vehicle was a Tacoma and I TOTALLY get it. That truck was definitely the most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned. I’m looking forward to watching you put it to the test. Welcome back! 🙏🏼
Imagine with a Gladiator.
The video we have all been waiting for! Just when we thought you had forgotten about us, you came back and TOTALLY REDEEMED YOURSELF. As a fellow Tacoma owner, great build and cant wait for the new adventures.
Congrats Drew! Toyota reliability under your foot. Awesome build and I believe this rig suits you really well. Pretty sure Toyota will be tracking you for some Toyota footage! Stay well and safe travels Bud!
Glad to see you back! You’re my favorite landscape photographer, videographer, drone pilot on TH-cam. Be blessed
That shot he had of the setup with a crackling fire backed by a majestic Alaskan mountain and crescent moon …… I mean Wow! If I was to have a dream poster of what I fantasized about to manifest in my life …. THIS IS IT!
This build is incredible Drew! The amount of thought and effort that goes into everything you do is amazing. You inspired me to build out my Jeep Wrangler over this past summer and spend a month out West! My build and the way I shot my videos is heavily inspired by your style. I have only posted one but I have multiple left to edit. Can't wait to see some new content from you with your new ride. Much love
Great to see you back with a new, fully-upgraded whip! It is absolutely beautiful! For those of you that want an amazing background for your computer - 22:39 onward for amazing desktop backgrounds.
As a Landscape and Astronomy Photographer, THIS is 99.99% my “Dream Rig” 🤯 Well Done! 👍🏾
I have been watching you for more than 2 years and I can say with confidence that your videos are some of the best on TH-cam, thank you for the beautiful video waiting for new videos with patience. Thanks Drew
i agree. the cinematography is premium!
FINALLY! Amazing build. Perfect mix of utility, style, products, and DIY. Nothing comes even close to the footage quality, dude. You're king!
Dude, I can’t tell you how stoked I am for your videos. And seriously, seeing you come from a $15 dollar blue tarp to this… you deserve all the success brother!
So happy you're back Drew!! WOW!!!! that is one awesome rig! Cant wait to see the adventure content you create from it.
You must be SO happy with this build. You've obviously put a lot of thought into the planning
Among so many TH-camrs who are doing landscape photography/camping/off-road, you are unique.
So excited to see you come back! And great to see these upgrades.
Point of correction: A Mr Buddy Heater is not directly vented. The Propane Heater that came with your camper was vented. They both burn propane but the vented version does not cause condensation. The diesel heater you installed and the vented propane heater will produce the same low level condensation. It has nothing to do with the type of fuel but the direct vented exhaust makes the difference.
Missed you Bud! Glad you're back to bring us some awesome sights & experience. Well done on the new rig. Safe travels into new chapter. Much love from CA.
As someone whose been dreaming of buying a Jeep, you were one of the channels I would often go to over the years for build information. Fast forward 10 years, still no Jeep; but I did finally subscribe because this truck is totally more my speed. Interested to see the new world of Toyota off road:) cheers
Just so you know, the FWC propane heater setup does NOT introduce moisture to the interior. The combustion cycle is totally separate from the heat it pumps into the camper. Same as the diesel heater. However I do think you benefit from diesel heat because you can easily go to any gas station any time of night to refill. And you don’t need someone to assist you like with propane
Insane. The visuals also insane.
EASILY the most well thought out and built rig out there! Excited to see more of it 🙌
Dude that is a perfect setup! I’ve got a TRD 3rd gen I love mine as well. Thanks for the video it’s always so cool to see how people customize and brainstorm these builds. Really really like this one 10/10
Thank you for your video. This is the first time, I viewed your channel. I just wish you would have ran the numbers. How much was the truck? How much was the entire build? only because, I am a newbie to this camping thing. I am trying to count the cost . I did subscribe. so i'm hoping to see more detailed videos regarding cost. Thank you.
Guy gives us real life visuals of all that we only dream of. Incredibly awesome content. GBU.
Amazing setup Drew! I loved the ol' Jeep, but this Tacoma is a massive upgrade and it looks really slick! Belated congrats on your engagement too and love your (big) puppy! Always look forward to your videos... and the wait never disappoints. Have a lovely Christmas and New Year and catch you in 2024! Cheers, Moe 😎
Smart move going from a Jeep to Toyota!! Beautiful build!
Really great camper and setup. Looking forward to seeing videos of your adventures again. The cinematography is always breathtaking. Happy new year festivities! 🙂
Easily one of the best camper setup I've seen on a Tacoma. Looking fwd to your new videos!!
Incredible build! Wish you had shown how you entered and exited the camper.
Hey Drew, FANTASTIC to have you back...... the new vehicle looks awesome and you did an excellent job. I've been looking forward your uploads for soooooo long and it just like seeing an old friend again. All the very best Steve in the UK 🇬🇧
The Godfather of overlanding has returned
I just checked on the channel a few days ago. I was so happy that today TH-cam fed your new VDO and happier to see your new vehicle which has much more upgrade than the old Jeep. I have never experienced how cold like when you camped in the snow because I am Thai where I live is always hot, I believe it must be super cold, so having the new upgraded vehicle is good for you.
Did I miss the total weight?
Great to see you back Drew. Just in time for winter! Wonderful build, I like that you designed it yourself to meet your needs and the way you travel. Very nice. Looking forward to watching new adventures and the pristine places you visit.
It's basically an infomercial
A very good one at that. Props to Drew! Very thoughtful build and intentional. It’s clear he is very experienced with what’s needed and what matters after years on the road.
It's funny, I remember when I found this channel ...It was probably the first one that took you through finding the locations, setting up, cooking etc but with words LOL. Most now are all about ASMR it drives me nuts. I was spewing when the video's stopped coming and it was rare to see that at 400K followers. Great to see you back though mate, looking forward to the content from Aus.
I think he went to Alaska 😂
1:20 umm bro........this shot is freaking sick! I'm nearly speechless
So, how much was it ?
$60k build not including the truck
I have never been so excited for a vehicle walk around before and it did not disappoint! Can not wait to your upcoming videos!
tacoma max payload somewhere around 1600, that base camper is 1000ish, add in you, 20 gal water, all the accessories, man how are you not over payload capacity ?????
He is. Playing with people's lives.
How thick are you guys? He literally shows you the massive suspension upgrades in the video 😊
@@paulcollard6634 which do nothing for payload. do some research
@@paulcollard6634 his suspension upgrades are irrelevant. Suspension upgrades don't change payload.
Payload capacity is after 4 adults are in the vehicle, but yeah he’s still probably pretty close to the limit.
He is back!! Welcome back drew, this is a really good build.🗻
RIP your payload capacity. It amazes me how influencers continue to show how little they know about the equipment they use. But hey, keep perpetuating that dangerous nonsense so you can get more clicks.
HE'S BACK! We have missed you but have been sustained by watching your play list until you returned. Your new travelling home looks fantastic. As in everything you do, you put a lot of thought and care into it. Looking forward to your future adventures and seeing the beauty and solitude of nature through your lens with a well earned gourmet meal or Baileys coffee from your new kitchen!
7777 pounds
Did I miss the answer?
7.777lbs is 3.752 kilos Hope that helps.😅
Dude. This is the most beautifully produced video of any truck camper I've ever seen.... and I've seen tons recently. Well done is an understatement
Dude this is so unsafe
What is unsafe?
Why ?
What I loved about your Jeep at the end here was that it was so lived in and useful. Love the shiny new build, looking forward to see how it evolves and the cool places you show off.
You're back!!! I was incredibly spoiled with all your incredible drone shots and epic scenic views. I'm so excited to see even more of your content and views in the future. You'll love Toyota. I have a Sequoia and between traveling to lakes and mountains it truly is an amazing brand.
5:37 this would be a sick decal. Clearly a GOAT
23:17 is what you're here for. Interior, after the ads and sponsorship talk.
HE RETURNS. Can't wait for what you have in store.
Welcome to the Tacoma Family, Drew! Always love seeing you doing what makes you truly passionate.
1:20 wish that i could get that view of image! This is one of the iconic images in this channel! so beautiful and peaceful! Thanks for the video. I also looking forward to upcoming a video Drew!! Lots of love from Korea 👍
Wow Drew! Excited to see you back on my YT feeds. Amazing build and as usual a thorough narrative. Welcome to the Toyota brand. You’re gonna love it.
thats the best setup Ive seen so far on the youtubes. I think its exactly what I would want and youve got some mad build skills. Ive been building/restoring a 1974 fiberglass Boler and it has taken ya few years to get where i want it. the number of skills you have to learn to do that is a lifetime.
I love watching the suspension do its work going fast in the riverbed. It looks very well tuned.
I cannot describe how happy I got when I saw you posted a new video!! Great work as always, that built is just delightful and it screams effort, can't wait to see your new videos with the truck on the road. Also, congrats on your engagement, it seems like yesterday I was watching your Q&A when you said you would like a family someday and it makes me really happy to see you getting everything you wanted bit by bit. You're my biggest inspiration bc you're living how I want to live someday and dedicate my life to this! thank you always and stay safe!
I love your buildout of the new camper.
nunca habia visto una configuracion tan perfecta, todos los que veo son, demasiado llamativos, o no son practicos para vivir, o demasiado rusticos, o lo que sea.
Esto es SIMPLEMENTE PERFECTO para aquellos que amamos dormir en la naturaleza.
Saludos desde Argentina!
I really like the scenery you photographed. Whether it is towering peaks or winding rivers, they are all full of wild power. Greetings from China.
Love it ! Best Taco 4 Wheel Camper ever! Incredible build. Nice work.
the legend returns!
The Legend has Returned yeahhhh u got that right Schaffer
Nice build Drew, been following you for a few years with your jeep, great content, and as a Toyota Tacoma owner myself it’s nice to see you change your setup! Looking forward to future content!
Just this past week I remember thinking "Haven't seen a Jeep camping video from Drew in a while, wonder what he's up to." And here you are. Such an awesome build, if I had the money and could go buy that exact setup, I think I would. Looking forward to more vids soon
fell in love with this video in the first 30 seconds. wow. lovely filming and amazing truck. super inspiring. It’s my dream to travel and work from a truck
Wow, just simply wow and so excited that you’re back!! I love re-watching your videos, but I’m so excited for new adventures, especially with your new set up!
Man what a sick ass build and your attention to detail and craftsmanship is sick
I almost leaped when I saw that you posted a new video. You are literally one of my fav TH-camrs.
Congrats to your new truck! Can't wait for new videos.
This is one of the coolest rigs I've ever seen.
Oh my god new drew simms video dropped finally. My whole week is made now.

Congrats Drew !! So Good To See You. Looking Forward To 2024 Videos.
Holy Cppp. I feel like a should get a diploma for trying to keep up with everything you did. you definitely have a Phd in camper builds!
He's back!! Rig is so sick, some insane work put into that thing.
I’ve been waiting for this video to drop since I saw a sneak peak of your rig at Overland Expo. Good to have you back and looking forward to see more of your Alaska adventures!
So awesome to have you back. Been missing your content (and now the Jeep!) but love the new setup. Can't wait to see this in the wild.
Dude thought of everything !!! Wow !The perfect build doesn’t exi-
Really nice build! Now I want one of these but for Cybertruck. I am totally saving this video for future builds I will try to do in the future! Greetings from rural Japan!
You nailed it! Nothing more I can say except great seeing you back.
Welcome back! Commenting so the algorithm favors this incredible new video. Can’t wait to see what’s in store.
You did an outstanding job redesigning the interior of the camper. Well done Sir!
It's been a while that you post on you tube, but, my friend you nailed it... Enjoy your new vehicle, is an absolute dream!
Drew! The intro was sick!! Your cinematography is amazing!
Glad to see you're back! Amazing job on the Tacoma build. Looking foward to seeing where you've been!
Nice to see you again Drew.
As we know it takes time to produce extraordinary footage and cinematic masterpieces,…… I look forward to seeing the Alaska eyepiece.
Absolutely beautiful build! Congrats man. This thing is amazing. It looks rugged on the outside and cozy on the inside.
BEST channel i’ve found in a while! I’m a rocky mountain boondocker vet and built my own stuff too. This is great!! Have you ever considered electric cooking, heaters, etc.
Oh, look at that beautiful thing FourWheel PopUp camper! I want one build.
Idk how I missed your videos, but man congrats on the Taco! Always wonderful seeing your videos man! Stay up and keep camping! 🙏 Washingtonian here!
Welcome back. Love the new build. You should build those and sell them! Can't wait to see your new videos.
