COUPLE LIVING IN A JEEP FULL-TIME | The Ultimate Living Setup - Walkthrough
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- The Jeep you see in this video has been our home for the past month (Yes! We’ve been living in our Jeep Wrangler full-time).
Aldo and I (Darsh) have always been obsessed with the idea of tiny living, van life, over-landing and the minimalist lifestyle. So naturally when it came time for us to move out of the studio we have been living in for the past 2 years, we thought why not try living out of our 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL. So after a quick call to our landlord, one month of hard work, getting rid of almost everything we’ve accumulated in the past few years and 10 billion trips to Home Depot, our home on wheels was finally ready. We've been living out of it for little over a month now and it has been fun (more on that later 😉). we don’t know where we’ll go from here but we know we make the rules and there’s lots of room for adventure.
Step aside #vanlife - here comes #jeeplife
PS: Our parents still think we live in a static home. Let’s keep it that way ok!
Also, as I've mentioned in the video, our craftsmanship isn't that great so please be kind in the comments section :D Good Day!

I like how the under-storage is accessible from the inside!
What a compact and efficient packaging! Great job!!,
Chris Ocean Thanks Chris 😊
You beautiful people, that is the best up I've ever seen
Thanks Michael 😄
Who ever knew living in a car full time would become a thing in this life? I really enjoy all these build of people actually living in their cars more than I enjoy the ones with roof top tents. This is a true living in your Jeep.
Kep up the good content.
Thanks 🙏🏽 We agree! RTTs might be more comfortable and all that, but we love our tiny living setup inside 😍
It’s becoming a thing because Rent is $1800 for a half bathroom and no toilet paper
i was going to comment about the direction of the fridge but when you showed how you cook inside it made more sense. great setup👍
We did switch it the other way eventually as we never ever cooked from inside 😄
I love her accent ❤️
Such an inspiration ! I’m starting my Jeep life adventure in a few weeks in my JL, love your build and happy jeeping !
Thanks Julian 🙏🏽 All the best and remember to have fun!
Got half the money already. Just a little bit more to go. Just dont know if i want the 2 door or 4 door sport for camping and traveling.
It all comes down to the feel of it to you, drive a 2 door and the drive the 4 door. Do you want that extra inside space or do you like how the 2 door is a little more peppy. No eco-diesel if you live in California tho, expensive up keep
I strongly recommend a 4 door. The platform has a better wheelbase for 95% of terrain and a better ride. You never have enough (sheltered) room. If you’re tent-less you can sleep in or get out of the elements easier. They’re also easier to sell/trade down the road.
Nice economical build. I like how you can sleep inside the vehicle.
You both made a REALLY cool build. I’m planning on getting a JKU and figuring out how to get a decent amount of storage, accommodate sitting up in the back and sleeping! I’m really excited to do some off-roading and hopefully can make something for full time living. Luckily I already prepped my mom before venturing out. It’ll be me alone in the Jeep but my sister is doing a van build. If you all show the details of the platform I’d definitely watch it! Thanks for sharing!
GrittyPhoenix Thanks 🙏🏽 You can’t go wrong with a JKU 😀 Lucky you! Unfortunately it’s impossible convincing Indian parents. Have fun building it and all the best for your travels 👍🏽
Unbelievable amount of space nicely used! I like how you manage to extend the bed to accomodate a pillow. Simple & clever jeep transformation. Good job👍
Thanks so much! Glad you like it 😊
Great idea with the cabinets you made and attached to the hardtop screws, Genius 👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
Love this so much! I'm seriously think of doing this, just have to convince the hubby 😁 great video! Thank you!!
Thank you Michelle! Let us know how the convincing went😄
Love the cabinets! I might just build one of those for my Jeep. Great video
A lot of people now prefer living in rural than in cities. It is less stressful in rural. We will surely share this video with our customers for them to get awesome ideas from you. Thanks for this video!
Thank you very much! Glad you find our content resourceful 😊
“Smooth as butter” -Lmfao
Nice build
Awesome build! Moving into my JK 4 months, so it’s great seeing your build
Excellent video. One of the better videos that I’ve seen on this type of build. It was very easy to follow along and understand the concept and humorous at times. You helped me with a few ideas for my 2012 JKU. Have fun out there I’m looking forward to more videos from you two
Thank you! Glad you like our setup 😊 And welcome to our channel!!
The “smooth as butter” got me 😂
It did get better eventually 😄
Great ideas, I like what you two have done.
Great video. I may be starting my Jeep life adventure this Month. Good info
First time watching. Subbed. Can't wait to live this life too.
Very nice, absolutely candid.
Thank you 😊
Great video ! You are very refreshing to watch and listen to, compared to the typical jeep crowd ! Nice job on your jeep build. I hope you Post every wk your adventures . Good for both of you for Living your Dreams !! Bravo ! 🙏😻
eric esko jalonen Thanks Eric for your kind words ☺️ We’ll try to vlog our lifestyle/adventures and upload it here. Please stay tuned and have a great day!
நம்ம புள்ளைங்கள இப்படி பார்க்க மகிழ்ச்சியாக இருக்கு. எல்லாமே சிறப்பா செஞ்சிருக்கிங்க.
வாழ்க வளமுடன்😀
I gotta say I love the editing in this video! I chuckled a few times lol. Great video I really enjoyed it 😀
Thank you 😊
So glad to see Indian folks embracing Car life/ Van Overland life!! Contemplating It too! Great build! 💕
And omg you two are so cute !! 💕 she’s beautiful 💕
Thank you for your kind words 🙏🏽😊
Love the build! Great job. I am a fan. Keep the videos coming! Thanks for sharing.
Steven Szabo - #MakesMoves Thanks Steven 😊
Beautiful personalities, super funny and down to earth. Hope to see you on the road!!
What a breath of fresh air. I wish you both all the luck in the world. Cheers
Thanks 😊
Guys this is SO COOL.....gotta be honest, looks uncomfortable but still COOL! Congratulations on this decision....you are both young so you better live life at its fullest.
New subscribers here 🇲🇽🇨🇺 we also make videos but in Spanish 😁
We're thinking on buying a Jeep but mostly for traveling/ camping but not for a full time living, so that's why we came across your channel 😊
We wish you both all the best! 🥳🥳
Thank you and welcome to our channel 🙏🏽 Good luck with your adventures 😊
Your Jeep is fabulous - I really like this setup. I have a Rubicon & would buy a Sport if I could do it over again. The locking diffs, sway bar disconnect, & other add-ons are truly excessive; I do light off-roading. 👍🏻
Thank you 😊 Glad you like it! All those add ons will come in handy once you get bored of all that light off roading and want to take on some challenging trails in the future 😎
Found you from Instagram, WOW!!!!!! Bravo, amazing job you have done on the jeep. And the guts to go after it even if you didn't know exactly how to build. I will be in an SUV so looking for ideas and tips. Really like the wooden shelf storage, and good that you can cook and access the refrigerator inside. I'll be curious how that size of Jackery works on keeping the food cold and powered up. Well done video, very informative. Looking forward to following along on your travels.
tinabeane Thanks Tina 🙏🏽 Glad you liked the video. We aren’t using our fridge full time as of now but you’re right, the jackery 240 alone won’t be sufficient enough to power the fridge 24/7. That’s our next project. To figure out the power situation 😬 All the best for your SUV build! Have fun 😊
Winter is coming, have fun but know when to seek proper warm shelter. I feel a gel mattress is gonna absorb cold like an ice cube. But goodluck! Pretty cool
davidisdivad Thanks David! It’s been okay for now but you are right. Hopefully we’ll make another video if we survive the winter 😄
Extremely creative uses of space here... thank you for sharing. I'm still in between a jeep and a tundra for stealth camp/overland/rock crawl aio. You've helped me to reconcile some of the perceived space discrepancies.
So many incredible ideas! Very creative build ideas. the cooking inside seems a little dangerous, but everything else is amazing.
Absolutely amazing
Thanks Stephen 😊
Awesome video. I’m glad I found your channel
Thank you and Welcome to our channel 🙏🏽
That is one awesome jeep ...Love the cabinets ...Thankyou for showing it to us x p.s You have the prettiest face and the most beautiful teeth ever x
Thank you Jacqueline 😊
Very nice. Thank you for the video and ideas.
Jeep Wrangler is a tank Jeep models do really make a big ones lol I even use my Grand Cherokee just for sleeping in there with bedding like that
I love your build with the bed. I wish i knew someone who could make me a twin bed in my van. But it looks like im doing it myself
You can do it!!
Bun-kondai, proud to hear Tamil from you people 🙏🔥
🙏🏽
Darsh, you and Also did a fantastic job! Love the video. Glad I was able to see it in person as well at the Gani run this year. I'm subscribed now too so looking forward to all the videos and pics to come.
Richard Baker Thanks Rich 🙏🏽 Hoping to upload more videos more frequently! We’ll see 🤞🏽
Checkout the Jeep Wrangler: Goose Gear Plate Systems, they’re expensive, but unbelievable!
Thank you for the Video you are a very sweet woman may God bless you and your journey I live on the road full-time to going on 10 months
Hi Both , Really nice to see you’ll taking an adventurous turn & living it like the way you want .....i own a Jeep JK 2016 Sport in Manila , Philippines. I am also one of the few Indians who own a jeep in Ph. I hail from B’lore too & ride a Royal Enfield when back home (still have my 1997 RE Machismo , sitting idle) . I like your set up & very humble honest opinions on what you’ve done. Wish you’ll the very best & i will keep watching for sure :)
Thanks for saying that Elwin 😊 means a lot! Welcome to our channel 🙏🏽
One of the most "real life" "living in my jeep" channels I just came across on YT!
Thank you Micheal 😊 Means a lot!
I was so proud of my mattress topper, pillows and my inverter for my fan. Lol you have it figured out.
lol it might be super simple but its so damn satisfying 😁
Really great and brave of you. 👍 there are some things that i want to ask/clear. 1. Where do you park it while sleeping? 2. How do you manage expenses?
Thanks 😊 Those are good questions that should go into our Q&A video!
Run candle on bottom of drawers to make them slide easier
Nice idea! Thanks 😊
This is just wow❤️
she is sooo cute !!!!
😍 that's awesome.. and the best thing is they are so happy with this.. while some people are so depressed even after having soooo muchh..!! 😍 may god bless you both..! 🖤
Thank you Banz 😊
Great Job guys!! Looking forward to your adventures ✌🏼
S7even Overland Thanks 🙏🏽
I’m so happy I stumbled across your channel. Im impressed by your custom build. I recently purchased a Cherokee Trailhawk and planning to hit the road next year. So many great ideas here and you are the sweetest! I’m subscribing and look forward to watching your adventures. Wishing you happy and safe travels. ☮️💟🕉
Thank you Kimber 😊 Welcome to our channel and good luck on your Cherokee build 👍🏽
Beautiful explanation with beautiful smiley face. Nice to see a tamil couple enjoying like this. All the best. Enjoyed your video.
Thank you Bagavath 🙏🏽
This video is amazing ♥️♥️ You two are amazing! We are doing the same with our Jeep, and your info was helpful!! I never thought of removing the back seats!!
Thank you Ashley 😊
You guys are awesome. Thanks for the video. I am preparing my Kia soul
Some very impressive ideas and designs to use and to expand upon. Looking forward to adapting many of them for my own use. Thank you.
That’s right! You can always turn a simple idea into something very functional and efficient. Good luck on your build 😊
We really need to figure out how to do this life style financial !!!!
I’m surprise some company doesn’t build a platform for a bed in the back of the jeep I know they make a mattress that fits the back but they should make a raised platform so you can put a slide out kitchen and refrigerator underneath the bed
I cackled when you said “ we pretty much stole these from the table “. I actually laughed out loud !!! Ugh love this channel ! New subby !
Haha thanks Kimberly! And welcome to our channel 😊
Space is what you're willing to give-up. I seen mansion filled with a lot of useless stuff. Good job👍🇳🇿
Well said 😊
I like your set up, a lot of great idea! Especially issuing the grab handles!!
Thank you 😊
I would like to say that y'all did an awesome job building out all of your storage options in your jeep! I have a 2005 Chevrolet Venture LS minivan that I want to convert into a campervan, but my van does not have the stow & go compartments in the floor, so I have to find the best way to utilize the space that I do have available. Plus I also have 2 cats that I have to consider, while I build my van conversion.
Thanks for watching Sheree 🙏🏽 Yes trying to make use of every tiny bit of space is important. Good luck on your build 😊
Thank you!
marana mass... unga vandi pakka va irrukku. indha video ku mikka nandri!
This is such a great video with some ideas I haven’t seen yet! I hope you are both well x
Thank you Stephanie 😊 Hope it was useful
I just started washing your video’s and I find them to be very inspiring. Keep up the good work and safe travels. If you ,ever make it to the Washington D.C area lets do lunch. It’s on me.
Victor Garner Hey Victor! Thanks for saying that 🙏🏽 Means a lot 🙌🏽
That’s the first time I’ve seen cupboards on the sides of a Jeep. It’s a great idea that I may have to borrow for mu camper JKU!
John Walker That’s right John 😄 We’re probably the first to add them cupboards on a Jeep (at least on the internet) lol. We were heavily inspired by van life builds though 😬 If you do it, one advice is, take your time tracing that roll bar out. Once you get that right, the cupboards will be nice and tight and rattle free 👍🏽 Good luck 😊
Nice build, love it! Greetings from The Netherlands
Guido Kartner Thanks for watching 😊
You did very well, speaking in the video. I enjoyed the video very much. You both are very smart. When it is cold, if you stay where there is electricity, there is a nice heater that costs about $20. US. Lasko My Heat. It is only 200 Watts but would do a good job in your jeep. The size is about 4.5" wide x 3" deep x 6" tall. The best of luck to you both!
Stephen Warren Glad you enjoyed the video 😊 And thanks for the tip 🙏🏽
First time viewer. I think you did a fantastic job. Interested if you are planning on staying in it full time and travel or what. I am not in great health but would love to do something lIke this for two or three years at least before I get in too bad of shape to do it. Wife doesn’t really agree but I am working on her lol
Glad you liked it Vern 😊 We did live in it full time for about 6 months while we were traveling across Canada. Check out the whole series here ruclips.net/p/PLbZnfy2pFW4nUTBuOEGlY2Y1oBMpNIBW0
I have the same collapsible sink!
Really nice ideas, thanks for sharing
Thank you 😊
Wonderful jeep tour. Very creative. Thank you for sharing.
CC Thanks 🙏🏽
Well done to you both, you’ve done a great job. My best wishes from Australia.
Thank you very much Greg 😊
