Killed it Nate. Goes to show you don’t need a major production team to put out a TV worthy show. Editing skills are second to none. Best channel on TH-cam.
Some of us really appreciate the inclusion of the speaker box! Im considering making some sort of modular system with being a dual sub box that that fits behind my 2 door JK backs seat, but then can be removed and storage system installed to same mounting points with a smaller sub and no back seat when i dont have the kids to have max storage to keep tunes going on long trips.
Love it! As a former speaker builder, I'd *highly* recommend viewers consider "Baltic Birch" instead of MDF. Pros:: 1) it is lot lighter, 2) it isn't as toxic for your lungs, 3) it is dimensionally stable and there aren't voids in it so you can round over corners and such, 4) should be far better if subjected to moisture but I'd treat either just in case. Cons:: 1) its expensive vs MDF. And if anyone wants to build their own sub for their truck/car/jeep. I recommend getting up the learning curve with Unibox for Excel (or equiv). If you are building a sealed sub the 'Q' of the sub is the important target, which is most commonly 0.56 or 0.7 depending on what your acoustic goals are. I have no idea which is better in a car, my guess would be 0.56. And all the models for volume are 'inside volumes' so not including the thickness of the walls which is actually significant in the case of small boxes like these but also subtract the volume of the sub driver itself.
Super need to add ventilation for your fridge. You'll burn it out in that tight of a cavity. I'd recommend drilling a bunch of holes around where it vents in your wood panels.
Another thing to consider is Center of Gravity. Keep your heaviest items as low as possible. This tends to be safe for travel and your back when moving and lifting those heavy necessities.
I may not have agreed with some of you specific choices, but I admire your work and attention to detail. You did an awesome job and the end product is sick!
On non-load bearing sections of the storage area, you can cut holes out of the MDF to save weight. Look at airplane and ship building designs for inspiration. In your Roverlander I'm betting there are a few pounds that could be saved. Very neat design, I love watching these videos.
I believe actual box volume is less than 0.34 cubic feet incorporating the material thickness at 0.75. You might be missing some low end. Also, next time you build a drawer system (and sub box) consider using Baltic Birch. Lighter, superior with water/moisture, attractive resonant frequencies, not to mention way healthier to work with (no urea-formaldehyde release when cutting). Baltic comes in 5x5’ sheets, fyi. Love the channel! Keep up the awesome work!
Exactly my thoughts when I saw the narrow space the fridge slides in. Wonder if OP has some details about performance in praktice? If it has to work hard you’ll notice a faster batttery drain for example (and hear the compressor running constantly).
I waited like a week or two before watching this video because I didn’t think I’d be interested in seeing something like this. It’s not something I’ll ever do myself, as I’m not into overland I g nor would I build something like this. But let me tell you, the craftsmanship and just overall confidence you’ve got in building something like this is insane! Being able to just freestyle and come up with the brilliance you always end up creating is just wild to see. Your level of fabrication is out of this world.
Dude I’m so glad I found your personal TH-cam account after you left Bleepin. Your camerawork and your craftsmanship is off the charts. Never stop what you’re doing man!
Dude..... Thanks so much for posting this vid. I have been looking for a sink water heater combo setup. 😳 Really like your craftsmanship, attention to details. You take pride in your work! Excellent job!💯👍
The topo looks good in there, keeps it from looking like a black hole... Even though you won't be able to see it once you're loaded. And the molle panel would be perfect on the one side! Good shit man, keep it up!
You have a new follower. Great work. The aluminum panel on the back. You should spray the whole thing black, the fine sand it . This way the black stays only on the bead work. Subscribed!
I would add a small lip to the top storage area to help keep any heavier items out of the window. It's easy to say that you don't plan on putting anything heavy up there, but when you run out of other options...
I am not much of a rock crawler guy, but I sure do dig the vehicle camping while exploring (overlanding) stuff! Glad you and Brad got together so I was able to find the channel!!
The topo panel was awesome. 1 it brightened up the area, 2 added your creativity to it. 3 it's BA. Really looking forward to the video from the trip and probably more excited for the build. Nothing but quality as usual
Nate, your fabrication imagination is crazy. I understand your process, but you seem to think of everything. and the detail is just out of this world. I know I was just happy to get my Jeep out of the shop and ready to wheel.
Just food for thought. You could always add a chainsaw holder and get a little electric chainsaw. I have a 60v Dewalt Electric Chainsaw and I absolutely love it! I will NEVER buy a gas chainsaw again. Love the build and absolutely love your channel! Keep up the great work.
I love that your past 2 videos are both things ive been trying to find good videos on for months and you bring them out :D. Keep up the awesome videos. Looking forward to seeing the side storage areas filled
My guess would be this was a quick build to accommodate the trip he is currently on with the roverlander. I would assume that he has plans to address the noted issues in future videos. As for the fridge venting my fridge only requires 1/2 inch of air space around it to be fine, and it was ment to be in the back of a truck (63q element arb fridge)
You're quickly earning your Legend status Nate. I really appreciate your design, skills, and attention to details. Keep up the fantastic work...............and give some more love to that J20!
Think it's really cool how you anticipate those questions. I heard someone say the other day that the definition of a professional. "Is one who can anticipate results and get them". And I think the facts that you are anticipating those questions to first provide value and second save yourself time really shows you at the top of your game and are going to go places keep up the good work.
At 17 minutes - absolutely! It's going to take time of using it for you to know what you would want to do most next. That's how all of my cars and trucks have come together - use them and drive them for their intended purposes and then afterwards I think to myself what would have really improved that drive or that trip or that concert Etc. And more often than not I found out that I would usually end up having to fabricate part of or the entire peace that I wanted because even if I found someone that made it they didn't make it the way I would be using it or didn't make it strong enough so on. Definitely got a subscriber out of me after two videos and I do not subscribe easily. keep up the good and unique work my friend!!!!!
Thanks for all the videos, some great ideas on your channel. I must say in terms of the material used in this video (MDF) it's too heavy for use in a Disco (and most wagons)m the weight of the MDF + fridge slide reduces the vehicles load capacity when GVM is taken into consideration. In any case I do appreciate your video. Not sure if you live in a hot part of the US but the fridge will chew through power without proper venting through the "cabinet". Cheers from Oz
Subscribed! What a talented and creative guy. I live my D2 and will be living my Landy Life vicariously through your channel. Thanks man... More power to you!!
Great channel Nate! Sooooooo many ideas just from this one video. I currently own a 2011 Range Rover L322 that I have outfitted for Overlanding. Thnaks for sharing your ideas.
You amaze me with every fab video you put out. That storage system is sick and looks amazing. Can't wait to see how it works out for you and what changes you find you need to do, if any.
Hey Mate, Just wanted to say a huge thank you for making these videos. You inspired me to build my own tray for my Mitsubishi Triton, I have gotten so many great tips from your videos!
the storage system looks great. it looks like you put a lot of thought into it. the topo panel looks cool but i think it will get beat up when you put gear into it. when i first saw the shelf cubby area behind the back seats, i thought that would be a perfect spot for a molle panel. great video. keep them coming
I think that came out really nice Nate . I 'm looking forward to see how it worked out for you on your trip and if any changes will take place . Great job Nate .
Great video Nate, I am currently browsing different videos of drawer systems. I have a 2007 Chevy 3/4 ton short bed with a work topper. I'm hoping soon to have a plan for the system that will be most efficient, budget friendly, and cosmeticly appeasing. Your videos give me several ideas and also how to incorporate different ideas. Thanks
Once again knocked it out of the park! You're content, and delivery is superb! Anyway I suggest putting all your recovery gear, and emergency supplies on the drivers side window box. It'll make it all easier/quicker to access when needed. For your cooking geer I'd design a way to hang it all off the back door in the window area. You're not going to be able to see out of it anyway, and it'll also be right there convenient for cooking without having to walk around the open door constantly. Lastly on your beauty panel. Polish it, and make it pop!
Killed it Nate. Goes to show you don’t need a major production team to put out a TV worthy show. Editing skills are second to none. Best channel on TH-cam.
Thank you very much! 🤘
A really tidy install, love the inclusion of the subwoofer and the gullwing windows are cool too.
Some of us really appreciate the inclusion of the speaker box!

I know you're very skilled but still in awe of how you whip this stuff up and it just works.
Super need to add ventilation for your fridge. You'll burn it out in that tight of a cavity. I'd recommend drilling a bunch of holes around where it vents in your wood panels.

I'd love to do my whole build with that but it's hideously expensive here.
Yes, internal volume is .34, too small for the sub.
is that taking into account the speakers volume displacement also?
Can't wait to see what you and Brad do.
You're simply an artist!
Watch the hot air venting on the fridge/freezer. Trapping the hot air exhaust around it can kill the efficiency.
Exactly my thoughts when I saw the narrow space the fridge slides in. Wonder if OP has some details about performance in praktice? If it has to work hard you’ll notice a faster batttery drain for example (and hear the compressor running constantly).
Tru-dat. I have a 12-volt compressor setup similar to this one. And, yes... it will build up heat quickly if there is no ventilation.
Topo panel was on point. Perfect inspiration for my sheet metal interior on the camper top. Your work is outstanding and thanks for the great content.
That topo map was a good idea I like that
Your fabricating skills are another level!
I waited like a week or two before watching this video because I didn’t think I’d be interested in seeing something like this.

Thank you for the giant compliment! Comments like this make me inspired to keep creating 👊
you waited a week or two but you commented this the same day it was posted?which at this time the video and your comment are a day old..lol what
is never to much when you add your personal touch. leaving the right side open to put longer items is excellent idea. great work
I like it it adds contrast and ties into the raw piece on the rear door
Haha sick setup, but your use of the word "easy" in this build is pretty generous ;)
That bead roll was sick!
Dude I’m so glad I found your personal TH-cam account after you left Bleepin. Your camerawork and your craftsmanship is off the charts. Never stop what you’re doing man!
Dude.....
Thanks so much for posting this vid. I have been looking for a sink water heater combo setup. 😳
Really like your craftsmanship, attention to details. You take pride in your work!
Excellent job!💯👍
The topo looks good in there, keeps it from looking like a black hole... Even though you won't be able to see it once you're loaded. And the molle panel would be perfect on the one side! Good shit man, keep it up!
You've quickly become my favorite off-road TH-camr.
Thank you for your hard work and great content.
You have a new follower. Great work. The aluminum panel on the back. You should spray the whole thing black, the fine sand it . This way the black stays only on the bead work. Subscribed!

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Love your ideas of maximizing space efficiency. Also, that mural is KILLER. Nice touch!
I am not much of a rock crawler guy, but I sure do dig the vehicle camping while exploring (overlanding) stuff! Glad you and Brad got together so I was able to find the channel!!

Nate, your fabrication imagination is crazy. I understand your process, but you seem to think of everything. and the detail is just out of this world. I know I was just happy to get my Jeep out of the shop and ready to wheel.
I gotta say, MDF is HEAVY. Lol but you’re right, it does make a nice finish. Easy to work with too.
Just food for thought. You could always add a chainsaw holder and get a little electric chainsaw. I have a 60v Dewalt Electric Chainsaw and I absolutely love it! I will NEVER buy a gas chainsaw again. Love the build and absolutely love your channel! Keep up the great work.
You never cease to amaze me. I made a slider box for my jeep to keep the fridge in. It sure doesn't look anything like yours! Great job.
Nice work! Love the side access cubby holes and simple fridge mount. The drop down variety all weigh a tonne.
I would be lying if I said I wasnt jealous of your shop, your rigs, and your talent. well done sir, well done.
The topo map is definitely cool! It's the perfect project to do while you learn more about bead rolling. Very nice work in this episode, Nate!
I love that your past 2 videos are both things ive been trying to find good videos on for months and you bring them out :D. Keep up the awesome videos. Looking forward to seeing the side storage areas filled
Great quality videos, Nate. I appreciate your transition into your own channel that is a tad more mature.
Hell yea brother, saw the post on Instagram and couldn't wait for the upload! Thanks Nate, phenomenal work as always 👍🇺🇸🦅
Thanks buddy! 🤘
The Topo map was legit outstanding! Super motivational video. I want to build something. Thanks for setting the bar high.
Thanks man 👍
Very nice Nate. You’ll quickly find you’re going to want the ability to lock-in and lock-out the fridge on that slide.
Always have to watch ASAP. Great content. Really enjoy the pace and style of your videos.
Thanks!
Quick questions:
1. Venting\cooling for the fridge?
2. Latches for the slide and drawer?
3. Why not do a proper 12v set-up in the wing voids?
My guess would be this was a quick build to accommodate the trip he is currently on with the roverlander. I would assume that he has plans to address the noted issues in future videos. As for the fridge venting my fridge only requires 1/2 inch of air space around it to be fine, and it was ment to be in the back of a truck (63q element arb fridge)
For someone that doesn't do a lot of extended 4x4 travel, you killed it! Great build and ideas.
You're quickly earning your Legend status Nate. I really appreciate your design, skills, and attention to details. Keep up the fantastic work...............and give some more love to that J20!
Great video, I'm doing storage in my tahoe, you have given me some great ideas. Thanks.
"Dibbs" on Rear Passenger Seat!
I like to FEEL the music!
Nice. Inspirational work on the whole system.
This build Needs a canopy hanging off the back so you can cook in shade! Great video!! Your craftsmanship is remarkable.
Think it's really cool how you anticipate those questions. I heard someone say the other day that the definition of a professional. "Is one who can anticipate results and get them". And I think the facts that you are anticipating those questions to first provide value and second save yourself time really shows you at the top of your game and are going to go places keep up the good work.
Love it. First time I've seen someone put a sub in their overland system. Brilliant. The topo art thing is cool as crap and a great touch.
At 17 minutes - absolutely! It's going to take time of using it for you to know what you would want to do most next.

Definitely got a subscriber out of me after two videos and I do not subscribe easily. keep up the good and unique work my friend!!!!!
As always absolutely loved it ! Gave me more ideas for my overland TJ build in progress !
I'm digging it.. looks great to me. Awesome video. Keep them coming
Absolutely crushing it Nate! Awsome work. Love your vision on this build.
Good looking tray for the fridge. Full bottom too adding rigidity. And that Topo graphic! Nice!
Thanks!
Wow this project turned out really well. I really like how you keep functionality and aesthetics balanced.
Thank you!
Wow! VERY nice! Well thought out, and looks efficient. Bravo! I gotta say something about the J pickup too. LOVE it!
Incredible work... Birch plywood would have increased strength and dropped weight. Yet it looks incredible! Your creativity always amazes
Thanks again, I like your of explaining things, keep up the good work!
Thanks for all the videos, some great ideas on your channel. I must say in terms of the material used in this video (MDF) it's too heavy for use in a Disco (and most wagons)m the weight of the MDF + fridge slide reduces the vehicles load capacity when GVM is taken into consideration.

Very good points especially the refrigerator air flow.
That topo map is so over the top, in the most complementary way possible! I am def going to steal that idea!
Everything you build is so sweet!
As always, great video, my favorite diy overlanding and offroader channel out there.
Loving the rover work. Thanks for the update.
Late here. Nice build. Considering build vs decked storage system. The battery backup is definitely at the heart of build strategy.
Wow! Dude this was really awesome!
Subscribed! What a talented and creative guy. I live my D2 and will be living my Landy Life vicariously through your channel. Thanks man... More power to you!!
Awesome work man, great diy work, very practical and great you can change it to suit what ever your going to be doing 👌🏻👌🏻
Awesome build. Really good ideas. I dig the topo detail.
Absolutely a great project!!! My favorite channel along with TrailRecon!!!! Keep doin what you’re doin man!
Thanks man!
I'm thrilled to watch your fabrication.
Very interesting.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Great build! I also did mine for my GX👊🏽. Thanks for including speaker 🔊 box build 👍🏼
Awesome craftsmanship! Keep up the good work, looking forward to the rest of the build.
Nate! your PPE game is on point. Thanks for setting a good example for others
Great channel Nate! Sooooooo many ideas just from this one video. I currently own a 2011 Range Rover L322 that I have outfitted for Overlanding. Thnaks for sharing your ideas.
Nice! Sounds like you have a sweet project and I'm happy to share my ideas 🤘
You amaze me with every fab video you put out. That storage system is sick and looks amazing. Can't wait to see how it works out for you and what changes you find you need to do, if any.
very impressive,awesome build ,factory look
Hey Mate, Just wanted to say a huge thank you for making these videos. You inspired me to build my own tray for my Mitsubishi Triton, I have gotten so many great tips from your videos!
You have an amazing imagination, and more importantly the skills and drive to produce, film, finish and show the World!
Greetings from England, Some great mods you have for your D2 will keep an eye on your channel for new idea's for my own modified Disco 2. subbed
Thank you! Welcome aboard!
Sick af bro. Love watching your vids
the storage system looks great. it looks like you put a lot of thought into it. the topo panel looks cool but i think it will get beat up when you put gear into it. when i first saw the shelf cubby area behind the back seats, i thought that would be a perfect spot for a molle panel. great video. keep them coming
Very cool. The first thing I thought of when I saw your carpeted system is that it looks like a sub box. Sure enough you added a sub!
looks great! you're the man!
Knocked it out of the park, looks awesome Nate!
Great inspiration for my XJ build.
The sides where your windows were would be a great place to put your recovery gear. It would make it fast and easy to get to everything you need
I think that came out really nice Nate . I 'm looking forward to see how it worked out for you on your trip and if any changes will take place . Great job Nate .
Epic dude! I have a family too and it's great that this is practical for the young ones as well
Great video Nate, I am currently browsing different videos of drawer systems. I have a 2007 Chevy 3/4 ton short bed with a work topper. I'm hoping soon to have a plan for the system that will be most efficient, budget friendly, and cosmeticly appeasing. Your videos give me several ideas and also how to incorporate different ideas.

Awesome job as usual. The topo panel looks so cool in there. I like that you tied in art with a project like this. 👍

Great job as usual I learn a lot from your Channel thank you 👍
AWESOME WORK! I love the detail you provide. I like the "RoverLander"!! So Cool to see a NON JK/JL Jeep build!
Thanks buddy!
Nice build, looks professional.
Awesome job as usual 👌🏾
Good build man. I love it! Ive got a loooong history of camping, and having something like that at my disposal would be awesome.
Lovin it! Great video man, feeling the creativity. Also the topo is legit! 👌 nice artistic touch.
