Jen, Is it presumptuous of me to say I’m proud of you? I’ve been watching since the early days and you have come a long way…but always with grace and style. Happy adventures ❤️
You've encapsulated everything I feel about van/car builds because people make it looks so easy but it's not easy! Hope you have a ton of fun journeys :)
I feel that! It’s not so easy but very rewarding ☺️
I have been watching your journey for probably 10 years. This video made me smile. My husband works a lot of long days so I’ve learned to do a lot on my own and there is something so empowering about learning new skills! Im so excited for you!
I was cheering you on the entire video! I was raised by very handy parents and still struggle with fear over using tools like nail guns. You have every right to be totally proud of yourself, you rocked this!!
Good Job! I was feeling your happy dance and was happy dancing right along with you. I am really proud of you, Jen, and can't wait to see how it all works out on your trip!
Victory dances! 😆
Great job!!! I'm so happy for you and your new adventures 💗
Well done Jen. You are right to feel proud of yourself and I’m so looking forward to sharing the journey you head out on.😀
So proud of you for completing this project! Great job and enjoy your trip!
Thanks! ☺️
Congratulations!!! I’m so proud of you!!! I don’t know if I would’ve been able execute this project as smoothly as you’ve accomplished. Can’t wait to see your adventures…good going girl😁👍🏻
Congrats! Great job! Your joy brings me joy! Thank you for sharing the learning process 💕
I'm behind on your videos so just watched this today. You continue to inspire me, Jen!! That platform is amazing! I think there's nothing you can't do when you put your mind to it! Congratulations!!
I love the chaotic energy of pure joy as you learn and expand your skill set. You are in your element and I'm loving it!
Great job Jenn....can't wait to see your out west adventure!!! Safe travels!!
Nice job ! You rock ! Enjoy your adventures.
Soooo proud of you! When you got excited at the end it made me so happy! Going out on adventures on your own is such a beautiful thing! I am mom of 4 and a full-time RVer. I’ve been doing it for the last three years and it has been so life-changing. Wishing you all the best on your future adventures! Always Lorna Marie💋
Way to go!! I love how proud you are of yourself!!! I can’t wait to see your adventures.
Looking forward to sharing! 🚙

I'm so loving this new chapter, Jen!! Loved your victory dance too! I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next! You go girlie!! 😊🧡😊💖

I’m so excited for you!
I love watching the joy of you learning new things!
The joy!!!! Congrats! Great job. This was amazing to watch. You’re an inspiration!! ❤️
I got soo proud when I do things for the first time as well. You were always so crafty that it was obvious you would be able to kill it, but it was so nice to see how happy you got!
Enjoy your life. It's soooo good to see how much lighter and sure of yourself you have been in the last years. On to the next adventure!
Im so darn proud of u!!! There is something so empowering watching u do this on ur own. Im here for it!
It’s an amazing feeling to know you can still surprise yourself and that you are, in fact, a badass. Great job, Jen.
Can I just say how freaking motivating this was. Truly, best video you've ever made. Glorious! You are a rock star.
Be proud!!! Your doing great!
Way to go Jen! As a newly separated woman I have this same pride when I tackle something new!
Go girl! Can’t wait to see your out west adventures. I hope you make it to Olympic National Park at some point- it’s amazing!!
I hope so too! 🌲
Proud of you! I love love love my 4Runner!
You go girl!! 💪🏻
great job Jen.
WOW! Girl, I so admire you!!!
This made me so happy! Proud of you girl! I am a single gal and you inspire me to do things and GO! Love it.
I love that you said to yourself, "you did great Girl!" Good possitive self talk!
Soooo proud of you
Thank you ☺️
Wow! Impressive!! Never have I ever and YOU did!
Can’t wait to see your next trip! 🫶🏽
Can’t wait to share!
You did it! Enjoy your adventures. 🙂
Thanks Jes ☺️
You did it! You go girl
❤️❤️
Fantastic! You should be very proud of yourself indeed 🥰
😁
This video is pure gold 😂😂😂😂 absolutely loved it
You did great!!! You have to be in it and use it to figure out what you need to do next. One step at a time. 🛠
Personally I think duffle bags are great because they are easier to throw around out of the way and can be crammed into smaller spaces.
Very good! You can do anything you set your mind to. Blow them all away!!! Hahaha Looking forward to more travel videos.
So true!
Haven’t seen you this giddy in a video in at least 6-7 years. Good for you!
That color is STUNNING!
Thanks! I love it too 💙
Great Job
Go girl!
Congrats Jen on tackling and accomplishing your goal. You are braver than I was. I'm considerably older than you.
Sweet 🙌🏼
😁
I’m totally a member of the adventures “of not knowing what I’m doing club” and I love it!
I think you are fabulous and love your videos.
yay!!
I bet the Toyota dealership would help you take things off, but you can easily install the Elfa closets. You can do ANYTHING! I got my Elfa closet after one of your vids and it was so hard for me. GOOD JOB!😃👍
There’s definitely a bit of a learning curve with Elfa but once you’ve got it, you’ve got it, you know? Kudos on your closet build! 🔨
I’m so excited for you with all of this and learning to do stuff yourself. Local overland and 4Runner groups (I know you may be hesitant) are great for helping with all kinds of stuff. I’m sure I’ve already mentioned that before but the off-road communities are amazing. Can’t wait to see what you do with your new rig and the adventures you have with it.
You can also add a rooftop awning to pull out when parked and you want some shade to sit under. There are so many options and modifications!
Thanks! I’m excited too (obv 😆). I’ll have to look into these off road communities. I could use lots of help learning how to properly drive and handle this truck! 🚙
Wow. I was there with you. Safe travels
you are Inspiring Jen
😬 lefty loosey 😬
I love the way you narrate. 😆 Great job! It seems weird to say, but watching you gives me confidence in my own abilities, to camp alone and just get things done! Thanks.
I smiled through this whole video. I loved seeing you so excited about making something. You go girl!!!!!
Go, Jen!!
I feel like your mom! I'm so stinkin' PROUD of you!! You will enjoy your travels even more knowing you did this yourself! I'm literally crying! I love how proud you are of yourself!!! You definitely got this! SAFE TRAVELS!👍🌿🌲🍁🧭🏕🚙
I am loving your metamorphosis! You seem so happy and I’m so excited you did this all on your own! GET. IT.
Thanks Kate!
You rocked this project! I love your determination to figure out something new.
Thanks! You gotta just try the things, you know? ☺️
Do you like it still? I'm about to buy the 2023 TRD Pro version, but I'm used to driving a Caddilac (I'm keeping my Caddy, just in case I don't like the 4runner as a daily driver.)
How comfortable are the seats and suspension during the road trips?
Thanks in advanced.
You did a great job. It looks like you will have a lot of room.
It fits a lot!
I'm with you Jen. I would change the steps on here for sliders
For sure. They’re not very helpful or convenient 🤷♀️
Love your adventures! You're to cute. Great vlog
Just wondering if you had looked into a rooftop tent? We have a 4Runner and purchased one for camping and it’s great! Just curious? Thanks for sharing your new journey.
I think they’re so cool and I’m not ruling it out but for right now I’m keeping it simple and everything inside the truck 🚙
If you posted arm workouts, I would watch them! Your arms look great. Very toned.
Just a helpful hint: the socket will securely attach to the ratchet so you don't have that slipping problem. The two little ball springs on the ratchet snap into the holes on the inside of the socket.
When you put the seat down in the back instead of letting it come down so hard hold onto it and put it down. If you let it come down so hard it will wear it out faster.
Thanks for the tip!
You did a fantastic job! For more inspiration, check out MAV. He built his own system in his truck and has gone through trials and errors but now seems to have a great system. He has all of the necessary conveniences of truck camping. Good luck on your trip and be safe! Make sure you find something to cover your windows.
Thanks for the rec!
Please do give update on the phone holder after testing it out awhile because I've bought a couple which failed me
I can't help but think a class B or even a class C motorhome would be easier, roomier (especially if kids go on trips) and more comfy for camping and they have toilets, but I'm a few years older than you so my adventure's need extra comfort. Lol
Harder to fit in your garage..
And I’m aghast that Emily Gilmore would ever suggest a motor home
Those are all great options but not the right fit for me at this particular season of my life. Maybe one day!
Look at you! 💪 I'm celebrating this accomplishment with you! The platform looks like a perfect fit!
Like a glove! 😜
You deff need window tint for the rear for privacy
Nice job Jen! 👍👌👏I am excited about car organization so i cannot wait next episode... 😃😉👩🔧🚙
That one will be a bit further down the road (pun intended 😂). I want to take a little time to settle in before I share a proper tour 🚙
I thought your Runner had the rear sliding deck> Am I not seeing it now? If you remove it I will buy it. Great video and great job!
If you get the slide out tray from Toyota, it creates a perfectly flat platform for the back.
shoutout peloton gang
👏🏻.
Just wondering, how is this safe? Will you be on a camp ground around others? Also what about the weather/heat?
