eric berry thank you - definitely planned it out for a long time before starting. Super happy with it. Dometic recently released their own slide out kitchen. If I need to change my slide out kitchen in the future I’ll go with theirs for sure.
Hey! He’s moved on from bumpers last I heard. More into motorcycle parts now. It’s pretty straightforward - any local fab guy could get it done. He used the heavy duty swing out spindle and welded up the rest from steel bar and plate.
If you could add some more information about the tire carrier a video and or name of the person or if there’s any drawings that would be extremely helpful thank you
Jeremy, great video. Thank-you. Not sure how many times I have watched it now to see how you did your set up, but it is a lot. Can I get more information on your water heater?
Good question. It is a domestic tank water heater. You’ll see two little ledges inside the passenger side of the trailer. I put some square tubing bridging the ledges to put the water heater on. If I were to do it over again I would go tankless for sure. Here is a link to the type of water heater I used. www.dometic.com/en-us/outdoor/rv-and-van/heating-solutions/water-heaters/dometic-water-heater-19566
You had the comments turned off on your 2023 Toyota Sequoia video so sending a message here. For the 3rd row car seat setup. Can you provide how many lower anchors and tether a chefs are in the 3rd row
Great video! im looking into buying a trailer with this type of setup and bringing over to where i live in dominican republic, could i have your mail so we can talk more directly about this?
For the warrior roof rack, the triangular block of aluminum that you fabricated for the light bar.. can you maybe give me info on how you did it? Or can I buy a pair from you?
Hey, I did have to modify the slides. And it was a Dometic sink/stove but I had to chop the edges to make it fit. I could not find anything that was off the shelf.
Hey! Good question. It should fit. I have the 75 and it looks like the 75 and 95 are close in dimensions. I drilled holes in the slide out drawer and fastened through the holes into the threaded inserts on the bottom of the fridge. It has stayed really secure.
Nice build. Do you travel with the tent and awning down? If so how hard is it to lift and dose it take two people.what dose your tongue weight turn out to be?
Hey I see you're in Phoenix, I'm in Tempe at ASU. Could I come swing by sometime to check the trailer out? I'm thinking about getting the Scout for my 2015 jkur. Would love to see this in person. Lets chat and hopefully we can set something up!
Hey very nice. Just picked up a smitty myself. I am very interested in your stove and sink unit. Is it a whole new slide unit or just sits on the current slide that smitty has? Where can I find similar?
Hey! I bought the sink set up at a garage sale. I think it’s Dometic. I had to cut the perimeter to get it to fit. I pulled the stock slide and made my own frame and bought locking slides so it stays out. Thanks!!
I’m definitely interested in your experience renting out the trailer on outdoorsy. I’m looking to buy a trailer and do a set up similar to this and I’m hoping to supplement the cost by renting it out but I’m worried there’s not enough of a market for the overland trailers instead of the big rv’s
It was hit or miss. We’ve slowed down on renting it out because people were pretty rough on it. There’s definitely demand though - just know you’ll be using the security deposit.
Jeremy, thanks to your excellent walk-around and overview of the mods, we've placed our order for a Smittybilt Scout. I like the passenger side utility box, where did you find it? can you send me the dimensions? Thanks so much, great video!
Great question. Got it on Amazon - check the link: Buyers Products 1703350 Black Steel Underbody Truck Box with T-Handle Latch, 14 x 12 x 24 Inch a.co/d/1l19Nsm
Good tourer of the trailer. Fairly well thought out, although using the sink has got too be awkward being so confined by the fender. The power supply from the vehicle to the trailer via the 7 pin plug is inadequate to provide charge to the 2 house batteries in the trailer. You should research “voltage drop” you really need the appropriate size cable connected via an Anderson plug just as a stand alone power supply to properly keep the house batteries charged and maintained.
Hey Scott, it’s amazing - I haven’t experienced any of your concerns. I’m excited to see how ergonomic your trailer is. Please post a link to the review video. Thanks!
I’m currently living full-time in a 23’ off-grid caravan in South Australia, Australia. Moving around for work. Space and planning isn’t should an issue in a full size van. When it comes to off-road, I just head off in my Land Rover D2. I’m actually just fitting out the rear for a fridge and a efficient use of the remaining space for storage. It’s simple but not easy ! Just have to do the best with the available space. Safe travels.
Just bought a Scout. So far it seems to have tons of potential, and your video confirms it! How did you mate the awning brackets to the ARB awning? My holes do not align between the bracket and the awning rail.
If memory serves the hole pattern is *really* close - I just kind of pushed them through. Let me know if that works and if not I’ll take a look at mine more closely.
@@JeremyLashinske Thanks for the reply. I would love it if that's all it took, but man it sure looks like that's not possible? Is there some way we can share pics? I'd love to see how yours mates up. I'm thinking of fabricating a flat plate adapter with some spacers, but if you got yours on without doing that, I'd love to see how. Would save me a bit of headache. Thanks!
I don’t have a vent - I’ll say the heat has been an issue. I typically just open the top if it’s too hot. Reality is I’m not usually out camping if it’s that hot out.
I need someone to make me a bumper like what you have with a few slight changes. Can you please direct me to who did yours and see if they can do one for me. I can make it worth their time.
Found it at a garage sale! I think it’s an old dometic. If I were to do it again, I’d buy the new dometic slide out sink and stove. Worth checking out for sure.
@@JeremyLashinske Does the sink part not stop the stove drawer from closing? I tried sticking a Coleman Triton stove on is and it wouldn't close all the way. I figured it ran out of room to close but your's seems to close all the way fine.
@@BarryReicherter hey! I ripped the stock slide out and built my own out of sheet metal so the fit would work. If your Coleman fits inside the stock area designed for a stove then it should fit. I’m surprised to hear it doesn’t.
Very nice, where did you get the side box and do you happen to know what brand it is? I have been looking for that size for a while for our Smittybilt trailer. Thanks

Basically picked one of these up because of your video! Just got it this weekend and am starting to order up some parts. For your truck to battery charging, are you running a DC to DC charger?
Just grabbed that same undercounter rev-a-shelf but it’s weird, the latch mechanism hits it, I’m not able to close the door. Did You have that issue and modify something to make it work?
Hey, that’s awesome. I ended up just tapping into the positive terminal on the trailer wiring so it trickle charges while driving. Right way to do it is to get a dc dc charger and it’s what I’d recommend
Nice setup! Looking to do the same thing here in Mesa AZ. Few questions... Where did you purchase the Scout, and did you assemble it initially or was it already assembled? WRT Dometic slide out kitchen, have you looked into where you would buy one? I'm only seeing AU sites and nothing local.
Frank Lillo I got the Scout from Northridge 4x4 on Black Friday sale. I assembled it. Not too bad if an assembly. I have not looked into where I’d buy the Dometic, but their website has a dealer search so I’d start there. There are a bunch of dealers in town. Good luck!
Is what I was going to enquire about but someone here in the comments posted ;- )) Am in Pima, this Scout is at the top of my list. Great updated video addressing the beefed up weld points and center beam, super build thank you!!
Hey brother ? Question: How does it ride on highways doing 75-80mph? We are about to buy one to transplant everything from our jeep since doesn't ride too good when its loaded to the brim. thank you!
@@JeremyLashinske got you! We move to Texas from Hawaii, and everyone here fly past us everytime we drive at 75mph! So I wanna make sure we got a decent trailer so we can keep up with traffic on the hwy while traveling through states
I'm looking for a reasonably priced overlander trailer and saw your review. I also have an FJ Cruiser and plan on using it for power. Do you have any issues pulling the trailer with the FJ?
No issues! It pulls with my FJ and my wife’s 4runner. Because of the way I did my water, the tongue weight is around 350 pounds which sagged the 4runner a bit. But we pulled the trailer fully loaded from Phoenix to Yellowstone which has many large climbs with no issue.
I did not - just single batteries. Kids accidentally left a light on on the tow vehicle and I had to yank a battery out of the trailer to jump myself lol. Dual batteries in the trailer.
Hi! The tent hasn’t wobbled once we installed it. The tent acts as a brace and keeps it from wobbling too much. The awning is the only thing that rattles a lot still. The rear stabilizing jacks have two brackets that go inside square tube receivers at the rear of the trailer. I can put together a quick video on it if it would be helpful.
@@markgx_explore7233 that makes sense. I put a water tank where the spare tire goes and built a cage over it. I mounted some tubing to the rack so I could store the jacks there. There’s a company called Habitat Off-road that offers a solution for stock trailers. Check them out. habitatoffroad.com/collections/smittybilt-scout/products/smittybilt-scout-stabilizer-jack-mount
Did you add a junction box to the 7-pin connection from the tow vehicle on the trailer tongue? Would've been nice if Smitty put a junction in already but looks pretty straightforward to install. Just need to figure out to put it before or after the breakaway wiring.

Please advise who built your tire carrier tailgate that is a really good way to free up space for the spare tire.
