@@codyandvictoria check out milwaukee packout and kaizen foam! Maybe you could apply it to your tubs in layers to make organizing kitchen ware easier
@Javion Nehemiah what the hell?
Much respect for the Nissan Frontier. It’s cheap and tough won’t leave you stranded.💪
Pretty cool to see some non wrangler/tacoma/defender/cliche overlanders decked out in 5.11 tactical clothing.
I hear it man. We're not your typical overlander types I guess. Just trying to be outside 😂
Yea I agree, I was a long time Tacoma fan but last year switched over to the Frontier. The 2019's were selling for super cheap. Definitely looking into some mods for it and really like the looks of yours. Nice set up!
I wear 5.11 because its great gear that’s comfortable. I also did 20 years in the military, and I am an avid overlander. Not sure why wearing a certain brand of clothing that is functional makes us “cliche”. There is a reason you see a lot of the same gear in overlanding, because it works. And I bet Cody would wear it to if he got a call from 5.11 offering him the gear.
Gladd Overland 🤨. Did I say there was anything wrong with it?
Like I said. It’s my preference, my opinion that I enjoy his content because his channel doesn’t feel like a clone of another channel. That his channel felt unique to me.
I also said something about Wranglers, Defenders, and Tacomas...you wanna sound off on that that too or nah?
Take the shoe off cinderella it wasn’t made for you.
@@PrestonGladd Of course there isn't actually an issue with wearing 5.11 or owning a Jeep or a Tacoma. I think the poster is just referencing that it's nice to see something a little different than the usual Trail Recon/Expedition Overland/Lite Brite type videos which are basically like watching a SEMA advertisement.
Find a girl who looks at you the way victoria looks at cody and you're all set! Awesome vid mate as always!
Make your woman feel loved and appreciated and she will look at you the same way.
@@82dupont Happily married for 5 years thank you!
@@JonnyRoams ...Great job, I have been married for 25 years myself. I’m looking for a Frontier to purchase also. My wife loves the Red Frontier color but they are hard to find.
I would kill to have somebody as pretty as that look at me the way that she looks at you during this video.
So nice to see how Victoria went from zero to hero. 2 years ago she was still being the quiet one standing there next to Cody and now she’s almost taking over the channel. Confident as a pro 👌 You two are doing great!! Looking forward to your next trips 😊
I'm stoked she's getting more into it! Slowly but surely. 😊😊
Cody Blue You’re truly a dream team now 😊 We both still have to step into it. A bit strange to see yourself on film in the beginning but we might give it a try one day 😉 The boosted board duo video you kind of first did together really got us sold immediately! You both have the presenter’s talent!!
Team fronty for the win! Perfect truck for overlanding, "no nonsense" adventurer! Love my pro-4x
Honestly!. I did a lot of research before I bought it and it just seemed to be the most well rounded, affordable, and capable truck. Of course the Tacoma is a popular option but there was just something about the fronty.....
@@codyandvictoria Tacoma is definitely a great truck. But you are correct, the Frontier has something about it! Feels more like a truck to me. Test drove the new Taco's before pulling the trigger, would still choose my luxury edition pro4x over the trdpro any day of the week
This popped up in my recommendations. Always happy to see Frontier builds. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for checking it out 🤙🏼🤙🏼
I just stumbled across this video. So glad I did! That rooftop tent is soooooooooo cool. I want one now. I just traded my 2012 Frontier SV KC for a 2020 SV CC. Ive never had a 4x4 Frontier and Ive never got stuck....yet (knowing your limits helps too). The 2012 had about 450,000 miles and only had to replace a radiator hose and tires/brakes in all that time.. NO OTHER ISSUES EVER!!! Im just a weekend warrior, not planning on living off the grid permanently in my truck. Thats what a sailboat is for. But the mighty Frontier is perfect for off grid for a long weekend. My girl and I have camped out on the beach and swamps of GA and FL many a time in the '12. Once we, and some of our other weekend warriors friends, claimed one of the tiny keys in FL and lived on the beach for 5 days. We even had a wild turtle join the party. We named him Herman, he loved pineapple chunks and sliced pears. Life Is Good. Btw, yall earned a new subscriber with this video. Rock On!
Woohooo team Frontier! Love that yall put this out, giving the people what they want!
Haha trying to man!
Team frontier all day baby! Good stuff!
Just bought a 2019 Frontier last month. This video appeared on my suggested feed.... Perfect. You guys are doing the EXACT thing I am interested in (and the reason I bought the Frontier). Subscribed. Thanks.
Appreciate the sub. You'll love the frontier man. Perfect adventure mobile without going overboard
I own a 2019 4x4! Love the truck. It’s solid. I call her Ol’ reliable!
thankyou for admitting you don't need all the gear, it's all about the hobby once you get there, I do hiking, kayaking, dirt bikes, mountain bikes
Congratulations my brotha for finding and marrying the love of your life 🙌🙌 to the Blue Fam 🍻
Cheers my man!
Why is the sound so freaking good. Like seriously
Great to hear 😂 just doing it the same as I always have.
Bro! Finally an outdoor video with a Frontier and from Cali. Legit subbed just based of that lol.
That'll work for me! 😂
That's a great compact and versatile setup! Plus a wonderful wife who's sharing the outdoor adventures with you!
Very refreshing to see someone doing something with a normal amount of gear. Not $100k of sponsor "gear". Love how real this feels.
Cheers Ben! Striving to be authentic and make people realize that you don't need a bunch of S H I .... To get outside and have a good time.
Just came here to say thanks for the Frontier LOVE!!!!
finally, a overlanding video that is not a jeep, toyota or a ford. Nice rig!
Cheers Alex!
I love the chemistry between you two. This channel deserves more recognition!!
Thanks my man 🙏🏼 making the switch from cameras to outdoors is a tough one. Gotta get a whole new audience but it's slowly getting there 🤙🏼
@@codyandvictoria In that case, welcome to the community! I think you'll fit in no problem. Happy Trails! 🤙
You guys are doing it right.Adventure first, equipment when you find that you need it. Great video for those jumping into the lifestyle (hobby?).
Super helpful, and how funny to come across your channel!
What's up Matt👋

love the setup, simple and cheap but efective. Just one advise about the power station: you said that it can power the fridge but that it runs out of energie after 4 hours. This means that a power of 200 W is sufficient, the problem is that the batteries dont store a sufficient amount of energy. Upgrading to a 500W unit will only help if the batteries of the 500W unit are bigger. (power, in watts, is the amount of energy that the unit can discharge per second and not the total amount of energy that the unit can store). If you find a 200W unit with a bigger battery it should solve your problem. stay safe
Awesome video! I have camped in the back of pick up trucks, sedans, SUVs, backpacking tents, cabin tents and now that we have kids, a travel trailer. It is all fun and never gets old. Really loved the bin life section. Still living that life. We built a sleeping platform in the bed of my wife's truck so the bins could go underneath and room for more gear or sleeping on top. Check out Arlift air bags for the rear of your truck. $150 and an easy install makes a huge difference when you load it up.
I just bought a 2014 pro 4x and went to test it in the white mountains to see if it was worth what i spent. YES what an underated pick up and a great stereo to boot.
Love the frontier mannnn
I just like the fact that you reply to almost all the comments and it just makes me happy idk why but yeah😂❤️
Lol honestly I need to stop. Its too much 😂😂😂
Dude love this video! I have a small rig that I do my “overlanding” in and it’s not the best or most amazing setup but it totally works for me and my pup! Love your rig and I love that you guys are showing that anyone can do it!!
I have an ‘09 Xterra. Absolutely love it, and its the SUV version of the Frontier. Cant wait to get it on more trails.
Perfect set up, I remember when I started overlanding my setup was like yours: less complicated, now little by little I’m getting rid of a lot of unnecessary gear, keep it this simple and get out there. My advise is don’t fall too much for those other TH-cam channels promoting expensive unnecessary gear, that makes you think you need to have it to belong.
I hear ya! The reality is sometimes you gotta promote gear to make a living. 🤷♂️ But simple is definitely better
Cody Blue thanks for the reply, I’m totally with you In making it happen with the sponsors, I just meant that don’t let a $1400 fridge hold you From hitting the trails, love your channel keep up the realistic content going on.
1:10 True words, my early 00's Civic got me way further offroad than it was ever designed for. Looking at picking up a Frontier very soon!
I have the same truck and camper shell as you are, and this video is very helpful for me to plan my camping situation!! I will buy my second rooftop tent this summer and will check out your fridge!! Thanks for the great videos and information!! Also, I'm huge in mountain biking too!! Enjoying every second of your videos 👍
So nice to see you guys getting into overlanding! If you guys want to save room and avoid keeping trash inside the cabin or truck bed of the vehicle, I would take a look at trashroo. Essentially it is a backpack-like trash bag that you can hang on the outside back of your vehicle. For the Frontier, you guys can probably find an attachment for your roof rack or "macgyver" one. Keep up the great videos!
As a Frontier owner, I appreciate your approach. I'm tall and a Tacoma was out for the seat position alone. Great trucks, but the cost savings of the Nissan allows those funds to be used elsewhere.
A tip: If you're staying somewhere for more than a day, take that bike rack off and out of the way.
Cool idea for a shower. For your sink, have you considered the boy scout 3 tub method? For just 2 of you, 3 small wash tubs would work well.
For your kitchen, I use a tool bag. Big stuff like nesting pots, cutting boards, plates go on the inside.
Other utensils and stuff I need while cooking go on the outside pockets. I can send a picture if you like. Since you use buckets, they also make pockets (to hold tools) that fit around the outside edge of the bucket. Look in your hardware store and you will see what I am talking about. Then you can put your big stuff in the bucket and your tool around the outside.
Thanks for the gear suggestions. I like the way you work as a team. You are blessed to have each other.
Thanks for sharing your storage method! Our kitchen set up now has so many moving parts and can feel a bit overwhelming. Definitely might have to try out your tool bag idea 🤗

Good build. Anything works to get off road. Cheers.
man, I was having a rough day and then I saw that you had released this video and it just made me calm down and I became so content. you're also really making me want to convert my truck into a sweet little overlander like yours! Thanks for the video, this is so awesome you guys!
Great yet simple adventure products and its all just what you need.
Nanopresso for the win! Definitely worth the try, best coffee making thing I’ve ever bought for the outdoors 😁
Great vid! You two are actually “overlanding” with almost bare essentials instead of “overpacking/overloading” for the end of the world type scenario. Get gears and actually get out and enjoy. Stay easy.
Thank you for making this video! I have a frontier also and have been trying to figure out exactly what I need for overland/camping. This video is very helpful! Also I've been using an aeropress for years now, it's awesome!
Still going good my man! Solid choice for a little adventure rig
I've never seen this channel, but they have great radio voices!
Build a chuck box, makes organizing the kitchen stuff really easy.
Take a shot everytime Cody said super! Great frontier. I have a '13 Pro-4x that I just lifted with a Nisstec gone moab lift kit. I prefer to tent camp, but my wife talked me into a trailer, so we now have a GeoPro 20BHS that is waaaay mo comfier for her. We live near Lake Shasta in far Nor Cal and most of our adventures are up here. I love seeing California and Frontier content. Keep it coming!
Great Video! Those drone shots are epic. Love the Frontier too!
This is really cool. They have really figured out how to do it on the cheap. Totally cool. There are some really good things and ideas to camping easily.
Thank you very much for sharing, Cody and Victoria. Your videos encouraged me and my wife so much to go out for adventures. All best wishes to you all. Greetings from Viet Nam
I have gone out in my TRD OR and my carolla and had fun with both. To me it’s all about the company of great friends and family. You can’t find that on any store shelf or dealership. So I really like your message and I’m going to continue watching your videos. Liked commented and subscribed. 🤙
Just bought a 2017 frontier crew SV. Super excited to add some of the features you guys have along with the hard cover tent! Loove the tent setup. Thanks for the the informative video! Cheers.
Just clicked for the roof tent and ended up watching till the end. You got another sub :)
Welcome to the channel🤗

Loving the overlanding / camping videos Cody. Great stuff man!
Cheers bro!
This is an awesome video! You guys are very budget friendly “overlanding”. It’s awesome seeing real people with items that work for them vice your sponsored/TH-cam “overlander” with thousands of dollars worth of gear they will never use.
Video and audio quality 10/10. Great video!
Sweet, I have a 2016 Nissan Frontier too, I’m newly to campaign, I’m glad to see someone doing this not in a Jeep or Toyota. Keep up the good work.
We're making coffee right now.... because it's coffee time.. lol
Good to see a Nissan out there in a world of Tacos. You can Get an 'add a leaf' for the rear suspension off amazon for $60.
I'll check it out! Cheers!
05 xterra 4x4. I went with a hellwig 550, prg shackles and 1/4 front spacer, 4600. It's pretty rough ride, compared to my sequoia but I still love it.
Love the Frontier! We overland in our Xterra:)
Dude your videos are filmed soo well. The B-roll meshes so well
Cheers man!
There's a huge off road aftermarket for these frontiers. Look into all dogs offroad for future mods!!! Love your frontier can't wait for the build to go even further!
Nice overlanding rig. I may be partial as we use a Nissan Titan for our overlanding. You are right that you don't need all the bells and whistles. Having some of them does make things easier. Be safe and camp on.🙂👍☕
Love the setup! I have a frontier and love the thing. You have a really similar setup to what I am doing. I look forward to seeing more. Thank you!
Nice setup y'all👍 I've got a 2008 4X4 SE crew cab long bed Frontier with 320,000 miles on it now so I'd say ya got yourself a reliable adventure rig for sure. Little tip that might help your fridge situation. You can take your tailgate loose by opening it around 45 degrees and pulling it out of its pivot on one side which would let ya run the 12v plug between the tailgate and the bed. This would allow the wire to be out of the way and let ya open and shut your tailgate without having to disconnect your fridge every time and allow ya to tuck the wire out of the way so it's not hanging out of your topper window while driving.
Smart idea with the plug! Heading out on a trip here soon, might try er out 🤙🏼
Also I hope I get that many miles out of her! 😂
@@codyandvictoria Just keep the oil changed and tune her up every 100 thou and as long as you don't horribly abuse the truck I'm pretty sure she'll go at least 300,000. I've been a bit rough on mine towing a heavy cargo trailer for work and play and only thing I've had to replace besides maintenance stuff like tires, brakes, and suspension stuff is 2 radiators. Probably because I tow a heavy trailer often. Well I guess I did also replace my rear catalytic converters at 300,000. In any case So many peeps out there are happy with their solid little Frontiers and imo it'll be a great truck for your adventures👍
If you want to get a little away from the bin life you should check out a decked system. I put one in my tacoma and it is great. I keep all my cooking stuff in there and it works great. Def upgrade the suspension soon. Nice little lift with right setup for the added weight.
i think you can get a set of firestone airbags for the rear leaf springs for $300-400. very easy to install, can pump up with bicycle pump. added a few inches of lift to the back of my frontier and really helps with heavy bed loads.
You guys are such a huge inspiration! Thank you for all the hard work you put into making these videos! ✌️
Thanks for watching 🙏🙏
Dude you guys are an amazing couple. The way she looks at you man 🙏 but I can't wait to purchase the 2022 Frontier pro 4x then go on my first overlanding camp as well
Get the Fellow Prismo AeroPress Attachment.... you won't have to do the inverted method anymore. It's a game changer!
You are so right what you said in the begining of your video. First time watching you guys. Great video. Enjoy yourselves. Thanks
That was a fun and video to watch. You guys make the outdoors doable
Wow I can't believe I've never seen the trailer hitch port converter. Love that idea. Our fridge stays in the cabin for now but it will eventually migrate to the back when we need more space... great idea!
Wouldn't consider it a permanent solution but works in a pinch. Great for powering other devices when you're at camp tho.
Frontier gang! Nice set up... i got an overlanding trailer just for camping.. might just do this instead. 50/50 on it
We're torn on getting a trailer or not. For now this is solid
bro!!! your audio was on point!!! quality is next level.
Not bad for a super cheap Rode Video micro lol
The setup is insane 😲
Thanks! A constant work in progress
I’ve come back to watch this a second time. I’ll be purchasing a newer vehicle within the next year and I am highly considering the Frontier. I’m hoping to set up for quick getaways inside a topper. Love your rig!
Cheers man! I like to keep it simple. No need for a super crazy rig to get out and have a good time
Impressed with your gears/tools! Nice video!
My dream build right here! Nice and simple and gets the job done!
Awesome video I have learned by shutting off the freezer will have your external battery last longer, also the tailgate comes off and you could run the cord to the refrigerator under the tailgate and reinstall the tailgate to not make it as noticeable as always keep up the great content
Thanks David. We actually did start running it under the tailgate which made it a lot better!
The aero press is awesome... Y'all should check out the American press. No filters needed. Works kinda like a French press with less clean up... Love the vids!
Ah nice, I love frontiers. I had an old 2wD frontier that took me a lot of places. Did trade it in for 4x4 Tacoma but you can’t go wrong with a frontier. Simple workhorse of a truck.
Awesome overlanding
Glad I stumbled across your channel! Most overlanding/offroading builds have really decked out trucks so it's great to see a simple setup that works just right!
Yeah I think we're pretty dialed right here how it is and even then, a fridge and stuff is totally not necessary but since I got hooked up with it I can't complain
You guys are awesome!
Looks good! You showed your kitchen sink, and I thought - "That's what we use, but we've got two..." and then you said you might get another 😂 I highly recommend a second one - it makes the wash/rinse process much easier!
Oh, and we love our aeropress, too. We use it the same way (upside down), but we found a metal, reusable filter so we don't have to carry the paper ones.
I have one of those stoves. Yes, it should last forever
Dude the audio quality on your voices is next level - maybe do a video on your workflow? Running a compressor and eq?
Love this. When my rack comes in for my Leer topper, my tent is moving over the topper!
Saw this in my recommended, been wanting a frontier as my first truck for awhile! I watched like 10 minutes and subbed. Love the channel aesthetic and the two of you!
Same!!! Been really digging the frontiers!! Wanting to get one but they are still a bit spendy even tho they are some what on the cheaper side for trucks.
Love my frontier
You guys are perfect. Greeting from Turkey..
Biodegradable soaps. Its a good thing and more overlanders shouldd try this.
Love to see some love for the Frontier for overlanding. I'm looking to equip my rig on a budget and you guys had a lot of great ideas. Great video!
I just get happy watching you guys.
We get happy that you watch!
Subbed for another frontier owner/camper. Love it
I love my Toyota Chinook, but it's great to throw the roof top tent I have onto my tacoma and head out into the mountains for a few days. 🍻
Just found your channel. I really dig the simplicity of your setup. Props on the Frontier!!
I love my Wrangler, but have been seriously debating going back to a truck, because I miss having a truck, and you guessed it, I had a 2000 Frontier xe... it was only 2wd, but I put that thing places that could/ should have had 4wd..
Was thinking about a Ranger, but after seeing you guys, definitely going to check into another Frontier.
Can't wait to see more of your channel.
Love your vids and Bronze Radio Return for the win!!
Great spot guys! May have just found our food storage solution!
I was wondering about the roof top tent! Me and my husband camp a lot but I would like to be off the ground sometimes. I just started watching you both, love this channel! ✌🏻
Love the Norse compass on your mug.
Great video ,thanks .
Great video👍, I really dig the vehicle setup. Planning to do something similar to our vehicle. You guys goals, keep up the amazing content.
