Bro is about to get a bunch of car enthusiests into overlanding
Already in , was waiting this type of vid ✌🏻
It’s too late for that 😂 Have a lifted Truck/SUV and a slammed racecar
That overlanding disease already happened
I'm here for it lol
A van build would go so hard 🔥
More truck pleeeeeease! These truck vids are so good. Makes me want to build my Tacoma into an overland rig
Thanks for watching man!
tacomas the best for it
Yo! Contractor/build science nerd here. A few things if you want to make the truck a little better insulated- the windows are going to be a huge heat source. Most tint is just for darkening the windows. I’d highly recommend ceramic tint on all of the windows to reflect a little uv/heat. (Won’t help with cold tho)
Side note- if you’ve never tinted your vehicle with ceramic tint, it’s a game changer, make sure to “tint” your windshield too 70% looks no different than no tint.
I’m unfamiliar with the product y’all installed for insulation and I hope it works well! If not, I’d go to your local box store and buy some sheet foam installation. The thicker the better. Probably 1” to match the square tube steel framing. With double side tape it on or hot glue. Score the back to fit any curves.
You’d either have to paint it or wrap it in carpet, but it would be much more comfortable.
Rig is sick. Ready for p race car content. 🤙🏼
sick thank you dude!
Definitely go with the 1" foam insulation at Lowes/Home Depot. The stuff you used is not going to work very good.
You should check out the Hammer Safe Locks for the Smart Cap. They allow you to lock/unlock the canopy with your truck’s key fob buttons.

As someone who loves cars and overlanding/camping I am all for more camping videos
definitely gonna happen!
Awesome video as always Dustin. Dustin if you want to do some overlanding with your rig you need to install a battery bank and some water storage. I recommend for your battery bank is a Jackery portable power station and for water storage lifesaver water jerrycans.
I would suggest a magnettic screen or pop in screen for the cap windows so that you have more airflow without letting bugs in :)
great idea!
Truck content / build out is always great to see! Looks rad, Dut!
Decked truck bed systems needs to make a slimmer sliding box
Dut you gotta paint the outside of the bed canopy white, that combined with the insulation should make it livable enough
You should build a roof rack for more storage for the surf and etc and get you a power inverter so it won’t bother ur truck and power a heater get also a smoke alarm just incase dont wanna get poisoned ! Once you get a roof rack u can build a slide out top for some shade or you can pre buy already made
Is Tim happy? I personally want to dive deeper into the brand behind the scenes and Tim. I think it would be a cool vid/series.
You could do a white vinyl wrap material on the roof to reduce heat. I hope to do that with mine.
Trucks and Vans are so much a part of car culture its good to see Dustin. Love Cars AND Trucks n Vans especially cool ones.
Love this. Ive been outfitting my Nissan Titan for the last couple years, using it for everything i can, same as you. Having the fun cars is awesome, but theres just something about getting out there with a nice setup and enjoying the outdoors. Looking forward to more!
I would definitely add a fan to sleep more comfortable. Also a pop up tent ! You can set up under 2 minutes.
More overland videos like this! Great job, very cool!
Sick! Would love diy camping van build too.
Bro does everything and anything car related. Absolutely love it
For my truck build i bought a bluetti power bank and a small fan to keep me cool. You can also do a small ceiling skylight + fan vent meant for RVs. Ive seen people install those on their truck caps
Big Rig Mother Trucking Dut is back lets go so sick thing is looking epic nicely done 👌👍
Red light doesn’t attract bugs like white does, just fyi :)
USB rechargeable fans help a lot too with the heat
Bro, i love the truck build and more camping content man!
Loving the overlander content Dut! One suggestion I have is to get a small bug repellent device to keep in the back of the truck! We use a Thermacell one whenever we go camping and it helps quite a bit especially with mosquitos. Definitely gonna be waiting on that camp and cook vid! 🤙🏻
Your lifestyle stuff is really fantastic. Great information with good vibes. Cheers.
I’ve seen some guys add on to the cap awnings. Would def give u some more coverage out behind or to the side of the truck for cooking and hanging out like a chair sit area .
Dustin! Have you ever thought about going to the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England? It's on this weekend and on the livestream I already saw many beauties such as: Mad Mike's rortary swapped 1000bhp McLaren P1, McLaren Solus, Calsonic R-32 , A Ton of older F1 cars, CanAm cars and so much more! on Sunday RedBull is going to bring 18 out of it's 20 F1 race cars for a run with Max,Checo,Danny Ric,Coulthard, Horner and many others driving them. I'd love to see your report of the event!
I absolutely want to venture over to the UK for some shows 🤙🏼
@@dustiinw Well, I really hope you get to do that!! Looking forward to the reports already! :)
you should take tim to camping adventures haha. maybe some offroad content! or you guys can maybe try Gorman one day and practice at the 4x4 practice area, so many cool obstacles. Always take my landcruiser 80 series there to practice and have fun and they got camp spots too.
Definetly recommend getting Overland270 awning and a shower awning from kickass or Joolca. Then invest in jackery portable charger with solar panel, etc. Lots to make it an overland truck / Hauler
Why not double-side the fabric for the curtains? Then you get the vibe inside and out. 🤙🏼
Dustin, please look into some of the Australian companies, Mitts Alloy build incredible canopy setups. You’re only just scratching the surface.
I was hoping to get a Smart Cap for my truck but at the time I was shopping they were not making one for an 8’ bed. They said it was in the works though. They might have one available today, I’m not sure. I settled on a custom build from USA Camper Shell. It’s nice but nothing compared to what you have. Enjoy that thing. Cheers!
Truck build turned out sick
Wow welcome to Overlanding 🔥
Those Kingpin lights are fire!
I’d recommend putting reflectix inside your curtains. It keeps so much heat out. Also legends surf club with meet ups?!
ill do that!
gotta get that @mav and @truckhouselife inspiration for any truck build
You can treat the truck bed cab like the interior of a car. Maybe a suede starlight. Checkout what throtl did with the dream truck build.
have a similar setup on my 2020 1500 custom, I bought a paint matched camper top though. I know the deckd drawers take a bunch of head room away but looks sick all put together with the camper top
I would get your favorite style of vinyl wrap and do the interior of it. You could have black suede, too.
love the vision for this truck 🙌
I absolute like your Truck Dustin
Thanks man!
I actually love this vlog whichni didn’t expect hahah
You need to get an anti-condensation mat or that back is going to get swampy, In colder temps it'll be dripping in there.
You could layer it ontop of the insulation.
I can’t wait for more content with the R34
You need to try and do a starlight headliner on the cap for at night time !
Smartcap has a new latch that can be locked and opened from the inside. Reach out to them about it.
Oh yea just a good truck brother!!!
Keep this coming ❤️
Hard shell roof top tent. Fill the back with cooking equipment, fridge, battery, solar, other camping equipment. Go out somewhere for a week or so without having to go into town.
Or get a caravan and go Glamping.
Bro really nice! You should do more camping videos 😊
i definitely will!
@@dustiinw it was so good
@@dustiinw I loved it
I think your idea for a van build would be awesome. Get a cargo van and build it out. I wonder if they make them in a 4x4.
You need a Max Fan to circulate the air
The ultimate camper truck is the Chevy Avalanche. It's the Suburban chassis. There is no fixed wall separating the cargo bed and the cabin area, instead the wall and window are removable so you can carry super long 10ft cargo. And you can comfortably sleep because of the unlimited space and crawl into the driver seat with ease. No need to exit the rear to go to the driver seat.
Looks good Dustin love it mannn!!
Love the rig videos buddy!
Love the overland build… don’t get me wrong I love the car builds but this to me is where it’s at… 😅
It’s so much fun!
Great setup buts needs a topper rack !
Very inspiring, good job!
Hey Dut, if you paint match the cap, the bed will be a lot cooler than with it being black.
Yeah, very true!
This is just as fun as watching the other car content 😃 Are the cap windows tinted with ceramic tint? That by itself should make a difference.
I love these type of videos,
Could you somehow get a cover that pops up when needed? Im not sure if thats a thing or not
This is just as fun as watching the other car content 😃 Are the cap windows tinted with ceramic tint? That by itself should make a difference. What about ventilation so you can breathe well while sleeping with the cap closed??
I just wanna give a shout out to those Edward Scissors ✂️, we solute you extra long scissors.
Reach out to RSI. They have new dual-function latches available though from reviews they’re still finicky so most people only use them on rear hatch since side hatches automatically lift. Also ask for latch covers to help prevent the locks from freezing if you’re ever in super cold or icey areas. Lastly, you can spray a little dry PTFE lube in the key locks to keep them from ever sticking.
I definitely will, thank you!
@@dustiinw Set up that cook and camp. I’m sure there’s a bunch of us locally that are in the truck scene. Lots of mods for you left to discover.
more camping videos please
What is that game boy you are playing on!?!? Hell yea fire red!!!!
Definitely love the truck videos 💪🏼💪🏼 still calling it the great white buffalo 😂
It’s definitely the great white buffalo!
As someone who is converting a van I 100% recommend if you are wanting to. I don’t regret anything
Man if I had the space I totally would!
I wonder if it would be possible to run some of those sheets that can cool or heat, it could be a good way to keep cool
if i was you i would add like a fridge compartment for food and drinks 👍👍
Change the curtains to black out you'll be happier with day sleeping or tint the windows to 0% and eliminate curtains. You don't necessarily need to see through windows
Another Great Content ever 👌
I wouldn't use any carpet. You don't want bugs infesting it and laying egg in. Plus you'd have to vacuum it often to minimize any allergens.....or getting any grease on it from hauling the tools and tires and such...... If anything double up on that stick on insulation you are adding...... ✌✌.
Did you say you want to build a van?! Lol. When you do, im ready to camp w ya.
Bro, for the ceiling use pvc sheet 1/4 thick and glued whit “4200” install the sheet previously cut. Need support, use 2x4 or something that hold the pvc sheet on place u want…
I’ll try this!
Another option for the windows you can always tint them super dark
Overland build
Those sunglasses 😂😂😂😂 lol
Gave me a jump scare when I saw it lol
@@IceyDrewF1 Welcome to the club ;)
paint your shell to white!!!
Black will take heat from sun ant get super hot!!!
White is the only color that reflect sun heat if you want cooler environment...
Try leave your White car and other color car outside for couple hours under sun and try touch roof of vehicle....
You will feel difference.
Info on that gameboy? Lol
Truck needs a sick wrap job
Awesome build! We have a similar one!! Where did you find that mattress?
off road minivan!
Homie went from Stance guy, to Drift guy, to JDM only content guy, to overlanding 👑.
Dustin that 2500 needs some weight reduction. She's a little choked up let the whirly bird spool.
Why not a GFC or Super Pacific camper shell with tent? It would open so much more space for you to store stuff
Because it would make the truck too tall. The truck is so big, going any higher I wouldn’t be able to fit anywhere
Put a rod on the top of the window curtain so its not sagging
You got to take Sparko with ❤
Brother.. i think this is the first time i've ever seen you wear sunglasses?? LOL
Truck looks soooo sick though!!
😂😂
@@dustiinw I'm blasting through emerald right now!!
Now you need to get a kei van 🚐 and do a camper van
Dut van life videos incoming
Tim bro wife might have a side hustle there going on with the shade 😂
bug screens for the side windows and a fan to blow some air around.
Did you add a lever to open the truck bed from inside?
Put some pips in so can carry fishing rod
Just curious, do the lights run on the truck battery? If so how does that effect leaving them on when the truck is off? Does it kill the battery?
SMART CAP note - I keep a screwdriver in the bed with me when the cap is closed - just in case your battery dies and you cant open the tailgate with the remote or somehow you get locked in. You can remove the one screw on the cap latches and it will open.
They now make locks that can open from the inside. Trying to find out how to order them has been a challenge and not sure if they are ready to ship yet.
Preparing for Japan in a Van rd 2 I see
Get rid of the decks system and build your own platform.
Deckd is more on the lines of construction use.
I was thinking about that, but it’s working for me for now!
What are you going to do different than the Decked system?
