For your coffee, rather than a coffee maker...you should really look at getting a stainless steel insulated french press. Makes MUCH better coffee, usually quicker, depending on the stove you use to boil water, and you'll be toting around a lot less stuff. Other than that, fantastic upgrades!
I second the French press, I use one everyday. Just boil the water and a few mins later boom coffee!
@@kevsgonefishing i know this is 4 years later, but I just foud the video. I think he wants his coffee faster then staring a fire to boil water for a french press vs 30 seconds for a kureg. Maybe im wrong.
Love your vids Greg you should invest in a camper shell put a rack on top for the kayak and sleep really good inside the shell
A few ideas: 1) old fashion candle lantern to add heat to you enclosed cab. I slept in my camper shell at Brannan State Park a few weeks a ago with the temperature going down to 31 degrees f. Candle does not pose the risk of CO2 that a propane heater does 2) Coffee makers draw a lot of electricity. Have you considered a propane stove that fits on a standard propane canister - get both at Walmart. It is small and durable. Plus it will boil water faster. You can get smaller/more expensive versions at REI 3) I started camping out in my little camper shell and just put in a Coleman Deluxe cot. You can't fit it in your truck now, but if you put a camper shell on the back, and put you big/heavy kayak on a trailer, you might sleep better. I have a low end kayak/light weight kayak optimized for portability rather than functionality on top of my camper shell now.
Just a thought.....put the titan up high again, upgrade your truck bed cover and put all your gear in the back while sleeping to give you more room. Then get the air bedz truck seat extender for the back seat. Might make your sleeping arrangement way more comfortable. Love the upgrades you’ve already done! I’m trying to figure out the same thing with my Silverado. Enjoy!!
Great mods there Greg. this will make life easier and more comfortable. you have room at the back of the truck for rod tube. LED lighting in the tray part of the truck would help and spotlights for around the truck.
Enjoyed the vid! Good to see how others setup the unseen parts of kayak fishing.
Hey Greg, have you considered getting a camper shell with racks for the truck, instead of a tonneau cover? You could sleep in the bed of the truck and store the kayak on the racks overnight. It would give you a lot more storage too. You can even get camper shells that have storage shelves on the sides to keep stuff locked up and hidden. You can do a lot with a camper shell.
definitely considered it. that plus a 5th wheel, van, etc. the big thing for me is transitioning this truck from fishing mode to work/life mode. i love the fact that it can be ready for a weekend of fishing but i can convert it back to a normal vehicle and park it in the city for work and not worry about drawing too much attendtion.
damn, that storage/battery combo is sick! The wizard delivers!
outstanding work!!!! I plan to do the same to my truck. The Wiz is the man!!!!
Congrats on the new set up. Looks awesome.
Older video I missed! My wife wants me to buy a cargo van - not ready to get rid of my Tacoma just yet. I sleep under the camper shell
You can replace all the interior lighting with ultra bright white LED lights & let me tell you... What an impressive upgrade it is. I have switched out all the original peanut bulbs in my truck from led's i found on eBay & wow at night time it truly is heaven sent. Give it a try & i promise you won't be disappointed!!
Hey Greg: Fascinating! Camping is my second outdoor joy (after kayak bassin').
Can't beat it! I'm definitely diving more into camping this year. still new at it but I enjoy it so far!
Dude you have that nice rack on that truck. That's where your kayak needs to go!
Greg, I was wondering the same as the prior comment. Why not put the kayak up high. I have car topped a canoe for many years. I understand the issue of lifting it up at the end of the day. The morning was never a problem at the end of the day I often needed help. Nattie up north used an assist arm in one of her videos, it seemed real slick. I would put a hard locking cover on the truck bed and put everything you have inside the truck in the bed and free up your living space. Think about adding another sliding storage box or 2 to the other side of the bed. Check out Scott Martins truck he has a slick storage system in his that is the full width of the truck bed and it looks like you might be able to stack them.
I've been brainstorming every option for the past 4 months. From truck shell to a 5th wheel. Ultimately I wanted something that would last me just a few nights but also be super discreet and inconspicuous. I really like the fact that I could pull up to a public parking lot or street and camp out near a launch ramp if need be.
Great setup, Greg. I will NOT sleep in the front seat of my truck, unless I HAVE to! (I might be a little bigger than most people 6'4" @ 200+, and I still don't have enough room in an F-150 Super Cab).
You'll be "changing this and that" as your fishing/camping needs vary, and I'm sure you'll find a way around any obstacles you might encounter.
Good Luck, Buddy.....
Ah, 6'4''....not so good for truck sleeping! you already know! tight lines man
Do you ever worry about someone taking your yak while you're sleeping overnight? That's all I'm worried about if I was to camp in my truck. Lol
Try a French Press. I bet you'll love it. You're making coffee like my Dad use to.
Perfect timing as I'm getting involved in tournaments for the first time this year, and I'm looking for ways I can "trick out" my ride for overnights. Can't wait to see if this all paid off for you.
It's been treatin' me well! good luck this season!
There some great add on to make things easier and more comfortable
Hey Steven Yuen drives a Ram! Lol great video man
You need a van! Bed rack, swivel seats, inverters, "shore power"... plenty of "out of the weather" shelter, closed and locked storage, kayak on top... The only way to go!
Romel is definitely a Wizard! Very cool Greg. One day if you ever get an RV you won’t know what to do with all that extra room... lol!!
Awesome set up!
haha so true Bill! maybe next year!
Gotta love the wizard. He’s the man! Nice set up
Sweet mods man. Working on getting my truck dialed for tourneys this year also. I dont need as much power so most of my focus will be comfort and convenience. Ill see you out there dude.
yeah man! saw your video on FB, looks solid! gonna be a fun year
You're gonna redo that truck 12 times over before you get it the way you like it. I have a full size van with the kayaks on the roof and a hammock I can hang in the van.
Great work -the wizard.
And awesome content. 💪👍
The Greg-Mobile... that truck is more advanced than my house lol
lol, not sure about that man!
This is awesome. We have been thinking about camping out of our truck. Will definitely borrow some ideas. Thanks for the video.
Maybe you can look into some kind of roof top tent (overlanding style). For your camping needs. I’ve seen some that you can unfold the tent over a hard cover over the truck bed, or you can build out over the the racks. It still leaves room in the bed for your kayak and equipment and gives you more room to stretch out.
I like that idea but it's also nice piece of mind that if something sketchy happens i can turn on the truck and be gone in an instant. some of the areas i plan to travel/fish are pretty remote.
There are amazing all steel electric tea kettles that boil water in like 3 minutes. Doesn't your ram have a standard 2 prong or 2 prong with ground plug too?
That was really interesting Greg! Really nice mods. Let us know how they all work
Thanks John! next few videos will showcase it!
Damn that is so nice !!!
Nice upgrades Greg 👍🏾
Better comfort, more fishing...I feel ya.
you've turned the Ram into a Motel 6 , I think I can hear Tom Bodett - "and we'll leave the light on for ya"
lmao!
You should just invest in a kayak trailer to pull your kayak around and get a camper shell. That would give you more room for your gear and give you a better sleeping area.
If the kayak's gonna stick out the back so far, why not put it on top of the tonneau cover, so you have more space, and securable too? You can figure out a way to not have it break the glass and you already have the infrastructure to add to to cradle the kayak.
Gregg, why don't you look at getting an old camper van and a small trailer. I have the Titan 13.5 and I found a cheap jon boat trailer and I am super glad I did. I am looking at getting a class b camper van to have a mobile hunting and fishing camp. Even if I am not camping I can take a break from the south Louisiana heat
A camper van would give him a bunch more room and a good place to sleep!
Great point. I contemplated this upgrade for months. i was actually about to pull the trigger on a 5th wheel at one point. but for me with work and fishing i wanted something that would just lend me a night or 2 of camping. i wanted it to be stealthy and easily converted back to a "regular truck" as I do tend to frequent ares for work that you don't want to draw too much attention to your vehicle.
Roof top tent seems like it would be a perfect fit
New subscriber, excellent mods Greg, i recently got a Ram and looking forward to do a lot of mod for my fishing trips as well, i love car Camping and all that adventure, but at the same time i like to be comfortable. I could not find the inverter, second battery and power strip video! it will be awesome and so much appreciated to see how you did that install, if any link. Thank you and great videos.
Wizard is the man. Nice new set up Greg. Sleeping across the front seats must be a little rough I would imagine...
Romel is the dude! it's not too bad. Especially when you're up till 2 am with your buddies and need a place to crash. Pretty easy to fall asleep there lol
Those are some awesome awesome camping mods to your truck! The Wizard IS a master! Love all your fishing and camping vids and this will make it even better for you!
Thanks Maria! the wizard is the guy!
Tiny Houses have nothing on you! Fun video... I still want to know how you cast sooooo far w/o a birds nest.
shimano reels ! but i still edit out a lot of the birds nests lol
bomb ass video brother i love the set up!! as far as caffeine try GRINDS COFFEE POUCHES great addition to the "just in case something fails pack1"
This is so awesome. Romel pimped your ride. Welcome to the club.
Romel da man of all things DIY!
why not put the kayak on the rack and then everything else in the bed to free up space
it's really heavy and not ideal to put up there every time
Dude. SOOOOOOOOOO many ideas out of this for my F-150. Definitely don't mind the non fishing video. As a side note, you're Patreon page has lots of good content like this. Nice vid man!
thanks Chris! those f150's are nice ! I bet you could make some pretty sweet upgrades/accommodations with that truck!
Legit setup!
Nice setup!!!Coffee is life 😁🤙
you said it!
Nice upgrade..how about utilizing the rack for something....maybe specialized enclosed rod holders or some other tube design for other things?
thanks! had the rod holders for a while on the racks and ended up getting rid of them. they were good but honeslty just having them bundled up in the truck is easier and when Im not in "fishing mode" draws less attention to the truck. For work, I'm not always in the great neighborhoods.
Greg Blanchard thanks for the reply...ps...off topic...ever fished Lake Chabot or Lafayette Reservoir?
@@GregBlanchardFishing I would weld the rod holders to the under side of the rack.
why not get a truck cap and then take out the back seat , turn that into your bed room , much more space . that is what i did and i travel all over north America
Makes more sense and he can put the kayak on top of the cap.
I’ll try to upload my rod rack I custom build myself for the bed of my Sierra truck . Also you need to throw that yak on your roof and or get a small trailer .. way more space brother ...
You need one of those roof tints, like Demolition Ranch has.
Very nice upgrades! I'm looking forward to seeing some camping/fishing videos.
thanks dylan! there should be a few for this year!
Is this a 2018 Ram? Dont you have heated seats...but I guess you cant leave them on overnight???
I'm looking at a 2017. With Air suspension/V8.
You need one of the roof top tents like the people who are into overlanding use for camping. And maybe some rod tubes so you don't break them.
Looks good.You should have got a camper shell.
Build a fold up bed on one side slide you titan in for trips
I am going to do the same thing as you are. I have a ram 1500 ecodiesel. I am a Jiu-Jitsu competitor
Can you please show us the setup of the secondary battery
Dude you have ladder racks why not put the kayak up there and use the bed for stage or build a topper ?
Haha, coffee headaches...the struggle is real. I know all about those caffeine withdrawals, gotta have my coffee too.
for real man! it's the first thing i do when i wake up!
Nice upgrades
Hey add so links to these items intoim upgrading my truck
Simple ...put a shell on it , rack on top for your boat , storage pod on top for your rods , sleep inside shell with or without carpet kit with drawers built into it for more storage ,,,,lots you can do by adding a shell ....I have one and use it all the time .
I may have missed that you showed it, but where do you store your propel drive? That's one of the biggest awkward items I find to stow. I'm actually considering a roof-top tent for mine.
usually sideways in the back of the cab where i can tuck it somewhere
Just an idea a high output alternator might be a upgrade needed with the additional electrical demand for charging.... kind of the same thing with big stereo systems in cars using them... just my 2¢ looks great though dude
Who makes the power inverter and power strip you had installed in your truck?
Nice job. Still thinking full size van conversion!!! Ha ha ha. Looks good man.
next year!!
You should add a rod pod to your truck so you won’t have to store your rods inside the truck
A lot of people are commenting about a roof top tent. If you had that you couldn't just use it the way you intend, like in a parking lot. Someone would spot you and complain about you camping too often I think. Maybe a bed cap would work. You could easily sleep in there stealthily and hook up an electric blanket or whatever. Then you could just put the kayak on a rack on top of the cap.
totally man and thats what Im trying to convey. I wanted this to be stealth vehicle! looking at bed caps at the moment but i do also like the fact that if something sketchy happens during the night i could just turn on the truck and peace out asap
I second for French press as well. No electricity no big coffee machine but make much better coffee. What tonneau cover you are using?
Like ur video.. But i was kinda woundering why u dont use ur rack to put kayak on . and all that stuff in back seat can go in the bed of truck and depending how tall u are u could sleep in back seat.. Im 5ft 8 and can fit in back seat of my dodge 1500 .
Good question. It's pretty heavy to get up there especially since I load/unload it mulitple times a week. Bed of the truck is just more convenient. That being said I totally get what you're saying, it's a system in progress
That secondary battery is very cool I had to resubscribe to get the bell to come on
Nice setup!
Greg maybe you should contact a Roof Top tent company and see if they'll hook you up with a roof top tent that might be a little bit more comfortable for you but stay safe and enjoy always a pleasure to watch you videos thank you for sharing
Thanks Shafer! I've considered it but honestly the one thing I like about this setup is that it's discreet. I could, in theory, pull up to the side of a road near a launch and sleep there for the night
Ever thought of removing the rear seats completely to give your self some more precious cargo space
considered it but love the fact that i can easily convert this back to a "normal" truck in about 10 minutes
Do you have a link for the under seat storage and floor you have?
Looks good, little confused why you wouldn't just go with a roof rack mounted tent however. Seems like it would be way more comfortable. Maybe a future upgrade to the truck.
For sure, maybe future but for the time being i wanted to be stealthy with regard to wear I sleep. I feel like i could park this just about anywhere and not be bothered
Drivers side headlight is out. Oops
Pure sine wave inverter...better for your electronics. Romel is an awesome friend. Would love to have links to the dome light and lock box.
gonna try and add links soon; gotta contact the wizard
Nice clean install, the wizard strikes again.
That is so sick
thanks man! hopefully see you in May!
Greg Blanchard you will! Let me know when you’re in NY.
Y dont u buy a cap 4 ur box? Just wondering!🤔
How tall are you man, and does not having power seats affect driving visibility?
Build storage into the fenders/ side of bed
Custom modded things are awesome. One thought though - is your outlet strip water resistant? There's a decent chance in rain that some drops of water get in there.
the power strip? should be in the truck at all times so in theory no water should touch it!
They don't call him the wizard for nothing. Nice change up video and great content. :)
he is the wizard of all things! hope all is well Terence!
Awesome upgrades! The Wizard accomplished a lot in 12 hours. I like that safe! Where do you store your pedal drive?
Wizard comes through again! pedal drive usually in the back seat as well but might just latch in onto the kayak in the back now! Might get a small lasso cable to keep things secure/safe during transit.
@@GregBlanchardFishing I just started transporting mine that way... latched in the kayak with a lasso. Works just fine for me.
Where can I get one of those cabin lights?
Why don't you just get a canopy bro?
a good wool blanket will make a difference
what type of pelican case do you have ?
Dude it would be pimp to hook the second battery in the bed of the truck up to a solar panel so you don’t have to charge it with the truck on
i think you read my mind with the next project!
Is this a quad cab or crew cab? And is it 4x4 or 2? :)
Nice upgrades! What truck rack do you have? I have a similar tonneau cover and I'm interested in a compatible truck rack
Thanks! g2 tonneau/rack cover
How much stuff do you have to remove from the truck to get to your jack, if you ever have to change a flat tire?
Hey Greg. I have the jack in the DuHa tote in the truck bed. pretty quick and easy to access.
@@GregBlanchardFishing 👍Good planning. A lot of trucks these days have the jack behind the seat, but not sure about where it is on your truck model.
Where’s the California plates?
Might want to consider a backpacking stove and a French press for your coffee
great ideas!
Hey Greg..try this channel and see what they did with sleeping arrangements... Lifestyle Overland I really think you might like this. Please let me know .... thanks. Craig Pa guy. Now Mahe sure you watch it Lol
Must be nice to be short. I could never sleep in my truck.
