I love the regret phase, it always happens with me and my dad while doing something new, we try to do something new and different and we end up making something very complex for no reason. But it is great to work with my dad.
I am at that phase right now converting my sprinklers to a drip irrigation system…doesn’t help that it’s 100+ degrees (Fahrenheit). But dad is proud of me as this is really the first project where I’m the lead and doing most of the stuff.
I’ve been building out my van with my dad who is a carpenter and that scene where Levi is just standing there trying to look useful just hit different. I’m not going to pretend that dad and I haven’t thrown tools at each other but it has been great to be in his world for a little bit. Love your work Levi & Leah
I think most people can relate to "working" with our parents. It's tough on both sides. I've had the opportunity to both work with my parent and work with my child. I think you struck a great balance with filming your Dad. Thank you "Dad" for sharing some of your talents with all of us. :)
Levi saying dad doesn't trust him using the tools even though he's used them before is so relatable! My father in law is really handy and helps us with all the diy we do on our section, but when my husband and him are doing things my husband isn't allowed to do much and projects get totally taken over 😂 if I'm out there helping, FIL teaches me and let's me do stuff, then at the end winds up my husband for not doing anything and it was just me and Dad doing all the hard work 😂😂
I am so glad I find your channel. You guys laugh so damn contagious you both radiate happiness and I love it. You guys are unapologetically "you" thanks for both of you being yourself! Much love and appreciation from Puerto Rico
Hey Guys! Not sure where it is on your build but make sure you aren't covering your hybrid battery vent! This could lead to the hybrid battery overheating, and failing prematurely. Good luck and safe travels!
That's so great you have professional help and access to tools. A little note if you haven't noticed already is to make sure the bed build doesn't block access to the filter (passenger side, that little grated area) for when it needs to be switched out. I ended up having to notch my build out a little after the fact which wasn't a huge deal but your build also looks way nicer :)
What a joy to be able to travel all around the countries! I'm from Mexico, and I couldn't stop noticing that you'll be crossing the city where I live! If you do, I'll be delighted to show you the wonders of my place, and the best vegan tacos in town😎🤗
⚠️Guys when sanding, even when working outside, you should wear a mask so you do not breath the fine wood dust into your lungs! Great build. Your dad might not like being on film, but he did a great job. I hope the project brought you closer together and didn't cause friction.
You did it and it looks great!!! Putting a chain is also a wonderful idea!. This whole project will make you grow. Thanks and keep making us laugh. Stay safe.
Your parents look so nice Levi!! It’s great they’re helping you with this new adventure and making the dream a reality! Wish you the best!! Btw it’s so exiting you’re coming down here to Mexico! 🇲🇽
Have you guys talked to your car insurance company about what you are doing here? You might want to crack open your auto policy to make sure there is not an exclusion for coverage for having the covered vehicle also be your residence. I know it’s an exclusion with the company I work for because my friend had to deny a claim because during the process we figured out they were living in the vehicle. Also, since you don’t really a non-moving residence, I would suggest getting an inland-maritime insurance policy to protect yo stuff.
totally can relate to the "Dad doesn't trust me to use any tools even though ive used them before". I want to say no matter how old we get our dads will never trust us with using any tools, will always see us as their little kids.
I think owning a hammock of some sort is on my bucket list. Like an elevated way to nap. Pun intended. I loved the cute country music during the platform sanding scene.
Yeah, Loctite is thread sealant glue can be a pain, but it’s color coded: blue is semi-permanent so you can break the bond, but red is permanent. (There’s also green for something that’s already assembled, it’s able to wick down around the threads before it sets. I haven’t seem much green to know if it’s permanent or not.)
Can't wait to follow your adventure!! I'm from Vancouver and have the same car :) Would love to see where you'll be able to park safely at night and day to day stuff (keeping clean, bathrooms, showers, cooking, car things, etc.) Thanks!
Help! How do you get the lock tite off? Dealing with this now as I try to remove the backseats and the 14mm bolts on sides of top seat broke my ratchet and won’t come out with a drill
Hope you are open to it. A little feedback, I think you shake the camera a lot when you film it. A bit of stability will be good, or a gimbal if that's possible. I really like to turn a prius into camper vehicle one day. Getting great great ideas from your channel !! :)
Does anybody know what prius is this? I recently bought a prius prime 2021 XLE that I want to live in but I am not finding a lot of information on how tor remove the rear seats, thank you
here is the question. after the one-year test of living in the car, will they keep the car in its new condition, or will they replace the back seats? for an even more fun video
the modification is just removing the seats and putting a box in the back, I can't imagine insurance would be a problem. Now if they changed out the mechanics of the car, maybe.
I still think buying a mini van & converting it to electric Or cooking oil would have been cheaper, your just ruining a Prius, too much work for a road trip.
It’s not just a road trip, they are traveling, and actually living in their Prius for a year. Definitely worth it when you own a hybrid car, the gas mileage is the best, and easy to park etc.
Great video, but not a good "how to" guide. Way too much fluff. I guess if I came for the personality it wouldn't be an issue, y'all seem great. But I just want to learn the steps without everything else. I skipped, skipped some more, kept skipping and eventually decided to write this comment after making it about halfway through. Maybe I'm not your target audience. Video could have been half as long had all the laughing and what not been removed.

The old "stand and stare" is a tough spot to be in... Always trying to find a reason to look busy haha.
Nice build there Levi! Flagging tape or something bright on the end of the box might be ideal to prevent you from getting rear ended...
Thanks Steve! Yeah we definitely felt a bit nervous with just the hitch on there without the box. lol
def get a fun lil flag lol
Omg a Bi flag
also where you can see it from inside so when backing up you know where the box is.

Definitely recommend adding a gasket seal to the opening of the box! Will help prevent water from getting in when driving in the rain!

you might want to add some reflective tape/stickers to the box for better visibility.
You did it and it looks great!!! Putting a chain is also a wonderful idea!. This whole project will make you grow. Thanks and keep making us laugh. Stay safe.
Thanks for being here Jasper! 🥰
I live in my prius and and the best purchase I made was getting a Thule cargo carrier for up top! good luck with your adventures!
It’s really nice to see you guys tackling a really challenging project with your parents. It’s tough!! xx
Thanks! We're learning lots! 😂
Water seal, water seal and even more water seal given that the back tires will spray up under it.
Came here to say the same thing. Needs as much water proofing as possible.
Trailer hitch cargo rack and toolbox to give you cargo. It improves economy if you make sure it can't oscillate.
Your parents look so nice Levi!! It’s great they’re helping you with this new adventure and making the dream a reality! Wish you the best!!
Btw it’s so exiting you’re coming down here to Mexico! 🇲🇽
Thank you so much!! We're so excited for the trip (especially mexico)!
Are you covering the plate visibility with that box? Is that allowed? Just an heads up :) love your videos
Bonding with dad moment, I dig it.
Awesome seeing it all come together 🙏🏿❤️
Thanks Tapiwa!
Don't block hybrid battery ventilation opening!
Gaaah! Ok we'll try and make sure!
Wishing the pair of you an amazing adventure!!
Thank you so much!!

There are some family dynamics going one here!

As a carpenter it was really fun to watch yalls solo project 😅 you guys did great
Hahaha thanks Chloe!
Can't wait to follow your adventure!! I'm from Vancouver and have the same car :) Would love to see where you'll be able to park safely at night and day to day stuff (keeping clean, bathrooms, showers, cooking, car things, etc.) Thanks!
Thanks for watching! We’ll have a whole bunch of those kinds of videos while on the road i would imagine 👍🏼
Working with parents is tough! You're right though... It is kinda special and will turn into good memories.
It really is! We're learning lots though so far!
i did that but it’s actually better with the seats
What was that cool hitch you put on that moves to the side? I love that idea❤ where do I get one?
Oh my goodness, you guys are so cute. Talented parents are the best too.
Thanks Jill! 🥰
That quarter was a return investment 😌
We'll be releasing our financial independence courses soon lol
Help! How do you get the lock tite off? Dealing with this now as I try to remove the backseats and the 14mm bolts on sides of top seat broke my ratchet and won’t come out with a drill
Nice build! Also what about the license plate? It's obscured by the box? Where I'm from that's a great way to get a traffic fine....
Thanks! Yeah we’re planning to mount the license place on the back of the box 👍🏼
How yo deativate warning signal after removing passenger side seat airbag?
Hope you are open to it. A little feedback, I think you shake the camera a lot when you film it. A bit of stability will be good, or a gimbal if that's possible.

You guys are hilarious!!
Nikki Delventhol has a great channel for this, prius 4 life 😁
She is absolutely awful to watch. Have no idea why people tune in to her channel, apart from her dog, otherwise she’s so cringe worthy 😬
So the rear seat project was finished?
For anyone looking for a clear and concise "how to" video for removing the seats....this ain't that.
Where are y’all now? I wish y’all had a live feed! I’d totally watch that.
We’re just finishing up the box! Final video of the build goes live next Saturday 👍🏼
here is the question. after the one-year test of living in the car, will they keep the car in its new condition, or will they replace the back seats? for an even more fun video
Isn't the box blocking the view onto your license plate?
Wait I didn't catch that... did you say you were going to remove the seats in your Prius so you can live in it???
😂😂😂😂
Do insurance companies still cover the car with all of these modifications? Or is it like don’t ask, don’t tell?
We won't tell them if you wont? haha 👀😜
the modification is just removing the seats and putting a box in the back, I can't imagine insurance would be a problem.
Now if they changed out the mechanics of the car, maybe.
Maybe you should move your license plate up or somewhere else. It won't be visible when the tote is in place and you're driving. Just a thought.
Is your back box water proof?
Yep! Hopefully the holes in the bottom don't change that! 😬
Maybe a liner would help 😅
The new “modern hillbilly’s” go RVing
That’s a good one 😂
You can't mess that car up the seats out is the best thing you can do.

So in reality you ve started you re trip right?
Exiting 👋🏽
Hope u re plastic box will not get open?!? 😳🤷🏽♀️
Regards as always from Switzerland
We shall see! We leave our parent's place next week!
As a tiny person I’d just leave the inside gutted and put a mattress in the trunk.
I still think buying a mini van & converting it to electric
