I made upgrades to the bed in my more recent videos! 🛌
👏🤟
Looks great man! I was thinking about trying out the car life earlier this year
If you disassemble your passenger seat you could put the cushions coverings on your driver's seat you might need to make a few holes for the seat adjustments controls
New Subscriber here. I hope you don't mind a reminder about safety. Per the CDC: "A small leak in the exhaust system can lead to a build up of CO inside the car." (As you know, that can be deadly.)
The CDC also says, ""Have a mechanic check the exhaust system of your car or truck every year."
A couple more good reminders:
Keeping your engine tuned up also decreases the amount of CO released.
And if you ever drive with the trunk (or a tailgate) open, be sure to have all your windows open, too, and vents on since Carbon Monoxide will be pulled in through the back of the vehicle.
I'm not clear on what happens when a car's seat is removed. Did it leave behind holes that bolts used to fill? If so, you filled them, right? (To prevent car exhaust and CO from entering.)
Sorry if I sound like a parent! Maybe you don't need these reminders, but it could help a random reader. Who knows?
Mike you are a bonafide angel. Really need more decent, caring people like you. Thank you.
Shannon McCreedy Totally agree 👌🏼
❤
Mike, you're proof that we still have humanity in the USA....Love it!
Thats nice to see.
Tint your windows at least 20% for privacy, and get a windshield sun blocker shade thing.
I was thinking about 15% tbh.
Yeah you don’t want anyone to catch you rubbing one out.

Facts
That guy Mike is legit a badass person. So glad it all worked out
Peeta Pahka He definitely is! 💯🔥
I think you just helped about 50 million people who will be living in there car any day. Get a better sleep
All cars in California should have beds since everyone will be homeless there soon
😂🤣
Damn...ain't that the truth!
Has Hollywood put out anything good in the past 5 years?
Don’t make fun of me
@@davidfunvideos yes you whiner
To Mike - man you are one AWESOME dude to help out a stranger like this.
Big frigging thumbs up to you man (if you read this)!!!
McRocket He’s a life saver 🙏🏼
I love white people
Mike God will reward you for your kindness. Blessings to you Jake.
Juan Aragon 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
AMEN 🙏🙏
Wow Mike, you have changed someone’s life. Awesome
🔥🔥
You need thicker foam or you're going to keep having pain. Side sleepers require a bit more plushness for the pressure points in your shoulders and hips.
Pretty cool set up though.
Basic Bish Beauty Boxes I agree, I’ll probably end up buying more and more but I’ve just got to find something better than what Walmart has.
@@JakeMcCollum wish I lived in Austin. I'd order you something from Amazon and you could come pick it up. Not having an address has got to be one of the suckier things about car life.
@@trae74 You can order it from Amazon and send it to any Locker close to him too, if u would like.
Also if you’re a side sleeper, a pregnancy pillow works wonders. I know it sounds weird, but I sleepy like a baby with one.
Geena Garcia Omgsh! 🤩 I was actually looking at those at Walmart and saw a Spider-Man one I wanted but there just so big and bulky. Idk if I’d have space for it in my car. Haha
Thanks Mike for helping Jake out. He definitely looks more comfortable with this setup.
THANK YOU MIKE!
exactly what i was thinking. i’m living in car until i get next school check which is 3.5 months away
Wow, Mike is awesome to help you with all of that!!! Amazing and inspiring!!! I’m glad you have a bed now!
Terrin Bertholf Yeah he is, it’s rare to find people like Mike now of days that are willing to lend an open hand. And me too! Now hopefully I can save some money by not having to go to the chiropractor anymore 😅
Dang, Mike is skilled and awesome for helping as well.
MIKE a BIG THANK YOU !!! For reaching out to Jake making His personal journey more comfortable and providing the tools with guidance learning new skill sets along the way. Your a Gentleman and a Scholar 😎🤘👍🙏
Amen to that 🙏🏼
Wow, shout out to Mike for helping so much! Very kind!
Thank you Mike for making life for Jake so much more comfortable and giving the rest of us ideas about living on the road.
Mike helps to remind us there are good, giving, kind people out there. We all want to be like Mike!
God bless u mike ..and plz God watch over this man
Mike , words can't express what a great thing you did for Jake. And the hope you have given the rest of us.
Great to see other individuals sharing their gift with one another. This is how we are suppose to come together and help each other. Thanks for sharing Mike & Jake.
I would suggest to tint the windows fairly dark and get a windshield covering so you can have privacy and security, and keeps the street lights out of your eyes when your trying to go to sleep, makes a big difference, good luck to you!
That’s so cool you found Mike and he was nice enough to help you out.
We need more people like mike 👍 thanks mike for helping jake
I thought about it and you guys pretty much drew out the whole plan, appreciate the knowledge. I will be sleeping cozy real soon 🤙🏽
That is SO cool! I have come close to homelessness a few times and that is one thing I always worried about because my seat wouldn't be very comfortable to sleep in but now I know its possible to make a bed in a car. Thank you Mike and thank you Jake!
Lorne Dulworth Thx! 😁 It’s not a hard as people think. Just a need a friend and a couple bucks and Walla!! 🛏🚘🛠
same . im kinda of stocked.. plaus i have no centralcolum on my jetta so it would kinda be eazy
That was nice Mike to help this man in need. Great job!
Glad you have a more comfortable sleep system.
Stay safe (& warm in Winter).
Thanks @Mike.
Thank you Mike for helping a good guy out he deserves it peace out
Wow, thank you Mike for hooking the boy up with an awesome bed area! Plus, there is plenty of storage underneath the frame too. Ingenuity at it's best 👍👍
Thank you mike and Jake. Thanks for showing a simple yet practical car bed. I'm confident that I can make this one all by myself. Yayyy!!!
Cool guy! Thanks Mike for helping this brother out. God bless!
nice job. I am glad someone helped you. That was really awesome of him 👍🏻🚗
Mike God Bless you for helping this man. 🙏💕
Thank you a lot for this video I'm about to start building a car bed myself, this really demystified the process. Hope you're seeing amazing things on the road
2 Hands up for Mike and his generosity! Also love that you have a great bed for sleeping now!
What a wonderful, skilled and humble man Mike is.
Thank you for helping out this young man in need.
Best wishes.
Thanks Mike! From all the wanderers and travelers we thank you.
I'm so happy for you now. Very nice of Mike to help you. Thank- you for shareing.
Such a helpful video. Thank you for filming and thank you Mike for helping. You made everyone's day.
Thank you Mike you are a great soul
May God bless you
I did the exact same thing for a few months in a 96 Toyota Camry . There was enough room to actually put a platform in behind the drivers seat and the back seat behind the drivers side came off completely so my lower half was in the trunk it’s actually almost 7 feet of space from the back of the trunk to the back of the driver seat pushed forward. Then I got tired of the set up process every day and I put two tubs from homedepot which were just about 12 inches tall were the passenger Used to be and that made a relatively flat platform with an unfolded cardboard box on top of it from Home Depot also. Add a 25 dollar foam pad from Lowe’s and that was the set up. Same exact thing as yours but realistically I did it for about 40 bucks
Mike - you and other good people like you make this world a better place. Thank you !
Very kind of Mike to help you out building a bed. Kindness will be repaid back!!
Thanks Dude!!.. Definitely gonna do This!!.. Stay Safe. ☮️

A few weeks ago I travel East to the West for 3 weeks and live in my car and some friend's home on the way and I work in my car too. I enjoy this lifestyles.
Good luck to you Jake great video.
Mike you're a wonderful person!!!
Go to Costco pickup a 6” twin memory foam for $149 and have a comfortable sleep.
Mike, your the Man!
Just stated watching. Super nice guy.Nice to see good people are still around.Thumbs up buddy..
That is so awesome. In such a limited space you have built a respectful bed. Kudos to you and Mike
digiver We did what we could! Worked out pretty nicely 💪🏼
Thank you Mike!
We need more of you in the world ❤️
Thanks for your comment....***For further support on more T*e*x*t*II w*h*a*t*s*a*P*P **** +1=2=6=9=8=1=5=6=4=5=5***
Blessings to Mike for helping.
Mike you’ve shown that there is still good in this world. People like you keep me optimistic every day.
Time to Netflix and chill in the car. Love the content man. Keep it up.
Kevin McGee Haha 😂 Right? I can chill back and just watch RUclips videos now 🎥
Mike is an awesome guy!! Great setup. Hope it gives you some neck and back pain relief, Jake.
Essie Oh Yes indeed! Hopefully! 😁
Wow - I'm glad I found your video. Thanks Mike, may G-d bless you for your time and friendship.
Great people like Mike exist and that gives me hope for the world. He did an excellent job and seemed so humble. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My man Jake, hoping you big wishes for your journey in Austin. I also want to go there for grad school (fingers crossed). Keep up the vids man, best wishes.
I appreciate it my friend 💪🏼 & that’s awesome! You’ll love it here, I hope you get to come!
Mike walks the walk. Mad skills. You could look for a 2 to 3 inch memory foam and under that a yoga mat. ( and if you really bougi cut down a mattress with springs or get a hold of a baby mattress that has springs from friends or thift). Really great work.
Mike you’re the man! I will be attempting to do this to my car now!!
Very nice of Mike to help the guy out. Nice JOB MIKE. GOD bless you
I became a subscriber after watching this video..I remember those days of me sleeping in abandoned cars and houses ..man stay strong brother...I hope to do RUclips full time
Sweet! Thanks Mike for helping Jake :))))) Now u need a cover for the drivers seat. Take care Jake
Juan Carlos Delgado Just wait 😉
good job Mike. gr8 to c there is still good people in the world.
Mike.God bless you and your familyfor your generous kindness.
Loved this video Jake! Just ordered a t-shirt. I’m glad you are doing ok!
Debra Zaragoza I’ve got your order! 💛 Will be shipping out Monday morning ☀️ Thanks for supporting the dream! ☁️
Mike is awesome! The platform is great.
Angie It’s been amazing 🛌
Mike, you are proves that people are good. I am so touch. A huge thanks.
Mike, thank you so much! American ingenuity & willingness to help a stranger is alive & well!
Way to be mike! Safe travels, sweet dreams Jake!
Troy Joseph Curtis 😴🛌🚘
Wow! Thank you Mike! This makes me so so happy! :-)
Mike is the man! 👍🏼
I lpve what you're creating with this! I can picture mini cooktop the whole nine easily affordable and a good alternative to help save up.
Awesome idea! Thanks Mike for being a nice guy!
Great build. Subscribed. Suggestion sand the edges so you don't cut yourself on wood. Maybe stain wood , get a small solar lamp set or even a solar security light incase someone is coming looking inside it will flash em. Stay safe.
Bless both of you!!! Thank you Mike for helping out! You are a great example of a decent person and someone we can all strive to be more like! Jake I love your channel and how honest and open you are!!! Keep up the great work and enjoy your life to the fullest!!! Love love love to all!!!❤️🩸⭕️😎
Enjoying your videos, very interesting! I had started watching off/on a few months ago when I searched for ‘Favor driver’ vids on YOuTube and your channel came up in the results... honestly, it kind of broke my 💔heart that to learn that you were living in your car, but you seem like such a resilient person & you seem to have agreat attitude! Your vids personally serve as a reminder for me that inevitable tough times are made to be lived through and we have to GROW or adapt through the weeds to see the other side. I don’t know you, but I am sure that you are somehow making a significant change in this world, even if you can’t see it for yourself...Good luck living in Austin! And I hope that you discover/achieve whatever goals you may have!
Your friend 👍Mike is a really awesome guy!
a very cool person who helps you out!!! so much love! THANK YOU MIKE!
Dope video, shout out to Mike!!!
Thanks Taylor! 😁 Mike def came thru 💯
Nice one Mike! Looks like a sweet set up
He did an amazing job helping me out! 😭
@@JakeMcCollum Have you done a night on it yet? I wonder if there's some kind of roll up mattress you can get, even with that mattress topper I feel like it might be quite hard, especially if you're on your side.
Alskivator I’ve slept on it 2 nights so far and yeah you’re right. I’m definitely going to need more padding. I think I might be getting some memory foam soon 👌🏼
Dude that look amazing & I’m so happy for you. Thank you very much Mike. Alhamdulilah we still have good pple❤️
Very nice and Mike sure was Kind nice seeing people caring bout others ,And you stay safe,
This is why Texas is a great place to be!
Dustin Lacey Texas really is amazing 🇨🇱
Jake McCollum 1st time visit earlier this year at the start of Corona bought my Van visited Sister Ft W. from CA. PERSONALLY, Peeps are GENUINELY KIND NICE NOT FAKE like CA 👍🤘
ben curaza Agreed 👍🏼
Thank you mike!
Tasha Pearl Yes Indeed!! 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing. Thanks to all the Mikes with a good heart. God Bless!
Good man Mike , I'm thinking of doing that to my car , so it was good to see it done !
Just need to find a Mike now 😉😀
Thank you so much Mike for helping Jake, you did an awesome job!!! Hey Jake, a couple of suggestions, for vehicle privacy you might want to try out some Magnetic Reflective for car windows or Perforated Window Vinyl Privacy Wrap Film Roll Decal Sheet easy to install or remove. Be safe out there!
Vicky Franco I think I’m probably going to tint the windows super dark! Oddly I don’t really mind the whole privacy thing 😅 Thanks for the tips 🙏🏼
Car garages should offer a carlife or vanlife option where a bed like this could be installed on site etc
Just subscribed 👍🏼 good luck on your journey. Stay strong on your sobriety .wishing you the best 🙏🏽
Going to be doing this to my car soon. 2008 honda civic. Thanks for the video and ideas. Getting my windows tinted after also and making window covers.
I wish i could do that with my 2010 nissan sentra. I fold the back seats down and lay down with my feet in the trunk
U should wrap da wood with automotive carpet dey sell it at Wal-Mart
finally a real good living in your car video!! Thank you MIKE !
also its really clever that u can hide stuff under your bed, also if you want added security
u can just screw down the board when sleeping or have some type of bolt with a connecting
hole instead of using screws.
