- Finally go my dream camper set up and all dialed in! I'm so freaking stoked to own a GFC and share the build out with you guys. I'm sure things will evolve as I use it more, but I've spent a couple weeks dialing in everything to be as useable and clean as possible. Since I modified my Decked drawer system, it made this platform absolutely perfect. If you have any questions about the build, drop a comment!

Had my doubts when you started cutting the Decked system but you knocked it out the park in the end. Awesome build. Organization is next level.
Glad you both can enjoy the outdoors. Keep living large and enjoy the ride.
Thanks! 👍
Love what u did with the deck and cutting, maybe they should sell half if don't want both drawers
The more I watch videos of these canopy's, the more I want to build one on my tonner. Living here in AZ, we have tons of land to head out and still be minutes from home. I have been looking at the Tune M1 unit but with my fabrication experience, I know I can build one. Love seeing these vids and hope to be out there making memories with my little rascals, stay safe, sub'd!
This is so dope!! Loved the build before, but pretty excited to see the new build in more videos!!
Thanks man!
So much thought went into this. Everything is super intentional and smart. Well done.
That’s the idea. Appreciate you watching homie
Great meeting you at Expo, man! Love your setup, it's so good.
Awesome setup. The cut up Decked ended up looking and working way better than I expected.
Same here!
Incredible setup, i love what you have done!
Great walkthrough video! Sweet rig!!!
A well done build. A great video going over your transformation and the details of what gear you use and how you use it. I’m taking notes for ideas in the future. Two thumbs up.
Hey thanks man!
Man awesome setup!! I can’t wait to get mine some day.
That is so awesome! Ditch the house, live in that rig!
Congratulations Grant !!! Love the new setup. VERY organized and thought out. You did good man. Can't wait to see it in person
Thanks Jay! Glad you can appreciate the attention to detail.
@@ArkansasOffroad Absolutely. Nothing drives me crazier than someone spending lots of money and just throwing stuff in there and it turns into a hodge podge mess. You should be able to get to everything easy, and with minimal movement
Hell of a rig setup Grant. Well done 👌
Means a ton. Thanks!
This is great! I'm getting my GFC picked up and installed in June and stoked
Heck yeah! Stoked for you. You're gonna love it.
Glad to see another vid post man!!
Have always like the direction you have gone w/ your rig!!
Thanks so much bro!
Just awesome!! Fantastic 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Thanks!
Your builds are so clean. Very nice 👍
Really appreciate it 🤘🏼
I am in Awe!
Amazing rig!
Best setup I’ve seen man! Happy for you!
Appreciate it!
Well thought out awesome set up
Wow man, fantastic job. I'll admit, I had my doubts when you were cutting into the Decked - great work, I stand corrected. I've done alot of custom fabrication on my rig, and I always try to keep everything looking factory. You seem to have the same approach. Organization and design plan is really well thought out too - Great build.
Really appreciate it! It's all in the details.
Thank you for sharing.
Those GFC campers are awesome. I wish they had something big enough for a family of 5. I have been looking at offroad trailers.......not really wanting to tow a trailer up crazy terrain though.
Love the build. I’d buy a GFC in a heartbeat beat if they had one that folded out like the iKamper or other XL RTTs to be big enough for a family.
Loving the new setup brother!!! 🔥
Thanks homie!!
Very nice set up your truck looks great be blessed
Awesome build
Thanks for the video! I don't have a tacoma but it gave me some Ideas for my LX570. When you got to the fire extinguishers I realized that your cooking next to 5 gallons of gas on your swing out. Sorry if I sound like an insurance commercial or a Fire code manual. Great build and hope to see you on the trails!
Super sick setup and very organized man!
Thank you!!
Congrats on the GFC, and nice buildout. I just got mine a few weeks ago, and cutting my plywood floor tomorrow. I never have favored a full deck system, because wouldn't be able to sit up easily in camper without moving bed squares. Yours has the best of both, and in a bad storm, can easily pull down the tent and sleep "downstairs", too. I'm with you on how fun it isn't to mount awnings, etc. Your build looks sharp with that aluminum edging. Enjoy camping!
Thanks so much! I totally agree, and it seems like a nice balance. Works great for me, and congrats on yours!
Great set up. Very similar to how i would have it if i decided to do a pop top
VERY NICE , THANKS !
Appreciate it!
I spoke to you at the Arizona Overlanding show. I asked you a bunch of questions about the the GFC. Not only was your rig set up one of the best all around you were also a really nice guy! Thanks Brother!
My wife and I leave Southern California for Montana August 1 for our install at GFC headquarters! Super stoaked. 👍🤩
Man I really appreciate that! Was great talking with you. That's so exciting! Congrats.
Great setup! Really nice work building it out. You should throw a couple small pieces of self-adhesive foam on the front corners of the aluminum angle where you get in from the tailgate. After a long trail day and a few cold ones…I could see a knee getting rammed into that as you jump up into bed haha! Great build sir
Thank you! Totally agree on those corners. Still working on a solution there.
I really like this setup allot
Thanks!
Love your setup. Very cool 😊. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
Just got my GFC last month. I have the same color Tacoma and GFC like yours 😊.
Awesome! Congrats!
looks killer man would love to see an update.
Absolutely badass - makes me want to sell my Overland FJ; you’re “Custom Taco” is my dream truck now, everything is well thought out and installed to be very bomber - and the truck looks really freakin good! I would make that my daily driver…thanks for the tour, come out to Tahoe sometime.
Hellz yea man! I would love to get rid of my RTT for one those 🤙
This is a Tacoma on steroids. WOW!!! Love the build
Thanks!
Very cool rig, hope to meet you out on the trails at some point!
haha, you win the gadget award man. You have all kinds of goodies up in that thing. Noice!
Lol thanks!
So dope man. I have my install up in Montana on the 30th. The stoke is building. Also really cool adjustment to the decked system. They would stand to make some money by offering alternate set ups like that out of the gate. Anyway, sweet build.
Heck yessssss! You’re gonna love it!
This car became my dream car after watching this video!
I want to see your Tacoma in real someday.
You gave me peace of goals in my life.
Thanks.
That's so awesome, thanks!
VERY NICE GEAR, GREAT SET UP 👍👍👍👍. mine is in process... 31 March I receive my rtt and awning ( QUICK PITCH cie both) ... tacoma with Alu Cab Canopy Explorer.
Siiiiick🔥🤘🏽🤘🏽
Thanks homie 🤜🤛
I just got my GFC setup for my 4runner and I’m ready to put it through hell. Crazy how durable they are
Awesome
🔥🔥🔥
dang I might have to do the exact same thing to my decked system/gfc setup
You did awesome on everything! The one thing I really don't like about these type of tents is no rain-fly over the side windows. None of the wedge style have them and for me that's a big negative. Honestly an amazing job with the mods to the decked and everything and doesn't look like you could make it much better.
Thanks so much for the feedback, and I definitely couldn't agree more about the lack of rain fly. There's actually a little tent pole kit you can get to convert the back door to a rain fly, but I think it should come with it.
@@ArkansasOffroad it should come with it-I have the Alu-Cab Series 3 roof top tent on my 19 4 Runner and it comes with the rain fly for the sides and for an extra $550 I got the shower room/changing room.I don’t know about the price differences between what you have and what I do,but I’m thinking I paid more.Nice truck!Love the chainsaw mount!How did you do it or where did it come from?I have a CBI swing out bumper on my rig..
Great video - congrats on your build! Where did you get that chain saw mount? I’ve been trying to find one. Thanks!
Awesome quick setup and breakdown. I have no negative opinions or knit picking. great job!
Thanks bro!
Howdy! Love the channel and this build was immaculate! QQ did you secure the L Trak anywhere on the decked system?
Thanks! I did. I used it to secure my zarges case.
Wished you did a fast forward of the cutting process as I’m interested in possibly doing this one day
Great set up! Hooked on you're chanel! Is the GFC similar to the Vagabond Drifter and is it insulated all-around?
Hey Grant, maybe its safer to rotate your shovel to point downwards instead of the spikes facing up. Just in case somebody accidentally slips while opening the rooftop tent you might puncture yourself from the spiky shovel ✌🏻
Good idea, thank you!
Sick! I think those are VRNCLR bags… :)
They're styled very similarly, but they're not. An employee at GFC makes them on the side.
Would you mind measuring the usable space between the top of the decked drawers and the bottom of the GFC please? I want to know if my gunner kennel would fit on top of the decked system. Thanks!!
Hey, Awesome looking build! I know it's been asked but wondering of you found a solution for the extra mounting for the shadow awning? when you mounted it originally did you just use the GFC awning mounts? Would it be possible to just use 3-4 awning mounts with the awning pushed ahead so its flush with the end of the GFC?
nice set up. Just curious is there a specific reason why you mounted your fridge on passenger side vs driver side?
Overland expo in flagstaff is ox west, mountain west is in Colorado
That’s correct.
Love the set up. In a video you chat about copper lights for your awning? How did you hook them to power and where did you get them?
Thanks! I forget the brand, but they’re usb and dimmable. I got them from @overlandaddict www.overlandaddict.com
Looking good 👍 👌 pacific northwest expo bend Oregon?
Do you have a video of all the products you carry. I need to see where I can get all these cool things.
Anyway to add the Gutter for the awning like the Alu-Cab.
I haven’t found a way
What liter size is that zarges case you are using for your cooking supplies?
I love the GFC sure is expensive
But you get a lot for the money.
You should get the Jetboil base camp set to match with your tent.
Man I’d love that
like it wonder if there is a model to fit a 6.5" box tacoma access cab?
On the floor how did you get that transition piece? I’m seeing a similar product by floor masters raised coin tiles but they don’t make any edging?
Yes I’m trying to replicate the build in many ways I hope you are cool with that, I’ll be sure to rep a couple of your stickers!!
Such an awesome setup. Not much of an off-roader but would love to do this just to be outside. Just discovered your channel. You have a new follower my friend.
Thank you so much!
Thought about wishing my decked was cut in half . I barely use the smaller drawer .
Love the setup man 🤙🏼 Whats the name of the bags you have on both sides of the frame? I’d love to get a pair
Interested in those triangle bags as well.
Recommend the Qomotop duo or Exped Megamat to alleviate your mattress issue
Thanks! Actually got a mattress topper and put it inside the current mattress. Much better. I’ve seen those expeds before. Super nice
Such a sick setup! Do you leave the EcoFlow plugged into the panels at all times?
Thanks! I do
Maybe check out the BedSlide with the Too Trays, would give you much better access and you can get to everything else without the need to climb into the bed unless you want to..
Yeah I’ve seen those. They’re cool but a bit bulky in my opinion
I noticed you changed batteries. Was your Bluetti too much of a beast for your needs?
Super nice setup!
Did you ever add a bracket to the awning to fix the flex?
I want a 270, but that flexing worries me.
I didn't. Need to though
Have you considered ditching the foam entirely and just placing an Exped Megamat Duo in there? That's the approach that the Super Pacific camper takes. The Exped is so insanely comfortable and i bet you could just open the deflate valve and then close it up.
I've actually put a 2" thick memory foam mattress topper inside each of the floor panels. I didn't want an exped or mattress because I wanted to keep the floor sections separate so I could go in and out quick. I sleep with 1 of the square floor pieces out so I can pass through easily at night, and an exped or something that takes up the whole floor wouldn't let me pass through easily.
@@ArkansasOffroad that makes sense. I’m hoping to eventually go the GFC route so I need to keep an eye on your build.
Sweet build. I’m thinking of doing the same build. Would you mind sharing what mpg are you getting with this set up?
Thanks! about 11-14. It varies a lot
Incredible build! What did you use to cut the decked system and the angle aluminum? I’m assuming a miter saw for the angles. Just not so sure on the long straight runs. Circular or jig, maybe? Also, what did you attach the angle aluminum to the deck with?
Honestly I used my chop saw hahaha. And just bought some angled aluminum at the hardware store. Attached it with shallow self tappers
These are awesome but I was wondering how you liked your Superlite prior to this? I have a SmartCap on my F150 and was looking at the superlite due to the weight of it.
Loved my super lite. Would buy it again for a bare bones set up. It’s definitely a minimal tent, but worth it
The Grant I have grown to love and appreciate wouldn’t like walking on his food prep space. How are you reconciling that internal battle? Also the 3/4” ply on your floor has to be the most expensive part of your build. Haha. I’ve spent a ton of time camping in my F-350 with a camper shell and the handle to lift the tailgate is brilliant! Does the fabric on the side of the pop up ever bind, ie stick out beyond the frame so you need to hop off the tailgate and push the sides in too?
Haha it doesn’t bother me. Plus I’m preparing the food on the side tables anyway and using the tailgate for cooking.
And nope, the fabric is great and easy to put up!
This build makes me want a Taco instead of a 4Runner 🤔 love the build! I was wondering if you had the name for those zipper mesh bags you have on the sides of the shell.
I wish you and your family the best!
Thanks! Those bags were actually made from one of my buddies friends. He's not really advertising them unfortunately.
Awesome setup man truck looks great my simple question is do you have a tune on your truck? And also bonus question what gas mileage do you get?
Thanks! I do. I have the new OTT tune and I'm getting 12-13. Depends on wind haha. Worst I get is about 11 and best I've gotten is 15.
Good vid. What watch do you use?
Thanks! It’s a Suunto Traverse Alpha
I am so jealous of you guys and your cars look so nice. Here in Korea, that Toyota Tacoma would probably sell for almost double the price in the U.S. Plus, there are very few service centres, so even if you buy a Tacoma, you'd have to struggle to maintain it. Obviously, the aftermarket is poor and the demand is not met.
On top of all that, Korea is a graveyard for foreign cars, making it really hard for foreign brands to survive. Hyundai and the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport have an incredible symbiotic relationship that makes it incredibly difficult for foreign car brands to make a dent in Korea and increase sales.
As a result, almost all of Korea's sales are dominated by Hyundai's crappy one-tonne carriers ("Porters"), or dull models like the Santa Fe and Mohave, which are underpowered patterned SUVs that can't even compete with the Tacoma.
Watching your videos, I really hit the ground and choke back tears of envy for you guys. When the Tacoma you drive comes to Korea, officially goes on sale, and the tuning market takes off, there will be a huge number of people buying them, rural, urban, for construction, for recreational use, etc.
But that's not going to happen as long as we have Hyundai in Korea.
Seriously, I'm jealous of your Toyota Tacoma life.
What bracket/strap combo are you using for your 5# propane tank?
large quick fist mounts
Show how the gfc attaches to truck! The most important part.
Cool rig! How’s the payload? I assume you’re well over?
Thanks! Just made a video about the final weight.
What kind of straps are you using to secure that stainless chest? Thanks.
Front runner stratchets
How's the dobinsons been? Just put the IMS kit on my 4runner
Theyre incredible! I love them.
Oh and... Did you book up DC/DC charger to the echoflow?
I did not
wwhhooooaaaaaa
My son wants a GFC,but heard they no longer are available.anyone know for sure? How can I contact them? Where are they based?
I just like ur taste and I love offroading love u from India man🥰
Thank you!
Have you sold the ARE cap? If not I’d love to buy it from you!
Thanks but it’s sold. We put it on the other tan taco in the video.
