For the past three years, Bradley has enjoyed the freedom of full-time off-road living in his 1982 Toyota Sunrader. He spent two years carefully transforming it from a gutted RV shell with standard 2-wheel drive into a rugged 4x4 cozy home complete with a wood stove. With enough provisions, Bradley is equipped to stay in the backcountry for 2-3 weeks at a time!

Thanks for watching!
I love the no sink! And the rear storage. And side storage. And cab access. Great job.
Indeed. I stopped using a sink years ago. It encourages saving water, creates more storage, & keeps things cleaner.
I have noticed that quite a few experienced "van lifers" dispose of sinks and showers inside a vehicle. I have seen hellish water damage totally destroy a beautiful van build, too. Keep your plumbing outside.
Incredible rig, interior and exterior! He's a genius.
I worked at Sunrader in the early 80s, I sure wish they still made them. Thanks for sharing
A man and his dog...doesn't get much better 🐕
Especially on the peanut butter nights
Mmmm... except maybe a woman and HER dog... 😛😉
👍
@@jizim8947🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow! that is so nice!!! He should build camper vans for others for a living/side hustle. He has a Gift!!!! Love this!!!
Ooh, Toyota quality, 4wd, & fiberglass shell. I too am lusting after this rig. Beautifully & intelligently redone from the truck mechanicals to the interior. I'm inspired & impressed. Thanks!
Yeah I spotted him a while back. In this video he mentions the bigger motor but didn't specify what it was. This thing actually came with the old 22r 4 cylinder which for this was obviously grossly underpowered. He put in the 3.4 V6 that was used in 3rd gen 4Runner's and 1st gen Tacoma's. (If you opted for the V6 package)
Superb quality notwithstanding, the vehicle chassis is already over 40 years old, which is long past its natural life. Maintain something that old could be an issue as parts would be obsolete.
@@mrslcomA steel chassis only last 40 years 😢 (sarcasm). That thing is a total gut rehab. Not a lot of 40 year old parts.
I have an old Lexus and although it does have problems, the one being the melting dashboard I just put a cover on it and that’s good to go. Thanks still drives and I’m cool with that. By the way for people that don’t know Toyota and Lexus are basically the same company.
This rig has an incredible amount of space saving, organizational and just plain cool extras....Wonderful work all the way around! Thanks so much for sharing Bob, Brad & Lily!
One of my favorite interviews so far. What a delightful person and a great setup!
I am a registered nurse and when I have patients that have broken an arm or have wound care, we recommend sponge baths even up to 8 weeks they survive very well. I think we could learn a lot from this.
A spray bottle of vinegar water really satisfies cleaning needs and wants. Reusable towels or paper towels and then I don’t miss a shower at all really.
I got to have a shower it would drive me crazy

I can’t believe how many new ideas Bradley brought, Thanks for sharing your genius (and obviously building skills). Thanks Bob and team CRVL❤
So Happy for him to Jumping off the Precipice and making the Decision to live his life this way. I'm a Vehicle Dweller too.
Wonderful set up. I understand Cedar helps repel insects too. Love the Sun Raider. Perfect for you and your Dog! 😎
Ive been doing a couple years in a little Chevy Spark camper conversion, I need to make an appearance on this show 😊
Yeah you do!
Amazing Truck 🛻 Conversion 🎉
What an amazing home on wheels, everything is so practical and useful, thanks for the tour, happy safe travels with yourself and your fur baby
He has done a well thought out build.Thanks Bob.
Amazing...
Thank you Bob, Bradley and Lily...😀
Nice happy positive person living the life he chooses 🎉
Oh boy what talent building and mechanical skills! I love this build so handy and unique for off grid living!👍👍👍
Another great interview! Thank You Bob !
Excellent, a dream come true. ❤
Thanks guys,neat truck!
You are ingenious. Love your camper.
What a perfect set up! Living the dream life!
Lots of room! Looks great. Still working on my van build.
Incredible build! Brad is obviously talented and capable. Thanks so much for sharing Brad and Lilly and their home with us Bob!❤
This fella has a very high skill set!
Oh wow, he definitely maximized space but I love having the bathroom/shower in my Sunrader.
He has a great site for remote camping
Favorite YTer to date - Definitely crushing on Brad!! Such a great rig, and a quality of life he lives!
Sunroamer subscription entered! Thanks for the recommendation; it is good to support other full-timers
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
Puts my Toyota Winnie Warrior to shame but I still love her.
love that rig, tool roll excellent, love it.
If I recall correctly, I met Bradley and his Sunrader on the Natchez Trace. If not Bradley, he has a doppelganger driving a similar Sunrader. Be safe.
That's a great looking rig, inside and out. Perfect size for a solo & small dog.
Excellent job sir, and happy trails to ya!
Thanks, Bob. Very cool.
Nice man, sweet dog and great rig!
Love your rig!! The colors are awsome and such a clever use of storage!
Sunraders are the greatest thing ever.
Very cool
Loved his interior color scheme 😍
The pop-up silicone basin is such a simple and more versatile solution than an installed sink.
I have one its perfect a cool gadget 👍
So Many fantastic ideas! Best of luck to you! Thanks for sharing your rig and your life!
What a great rig! He could pick up extra helping others retrofit their spaces. He's got the knack!
Its more spacious inside than you would originally think.
I like it.
Thank you for sharing..
Wow! He has done a fantastic build. Well designed and even better made.
What a great little home on wheels!! Love it!! All one needs!!
This man has done his homework-love that hammock mount
A delightful gentleman & awesome rig. Thanks for taking me there
I did the same. I had an off road trailer built to my specifications and it’s totally off grid as well with a Bluetti AC200Max, 800 watt solar panels, Zero Breeze AC and a Joolca hot water heater. It goes wherever my Jeep Wrangler can go! I travel with my Labrador retriever.
Smart! Everything about this rig is well thought out and useful. I want to do the four cameras on my van when I get it, but I never thought about it being used for driving so there are no blindspots. What a smart idea! Also, putting the fridge up front is such a good idea. It saves space and you can have a cold drink while you are driving. hahaha
Lovely man n dog, RIP Doug n Buddy
Like that last line. “Now I have ANOTHER rig that I will lust after”.
Amazing setup I'm envious!
Thanks Bob &Bradley great rig!
I just had recovered from Bob saying Lust after rig and then he said it again 🥴🥴❤cute dog!
I wish I had the skills to do what he did.❤ Love the pegboard…great quilting idea.
Really nice ride thanks again Bob great job 👍👍
Hi! I've been looking for where to post this, so I guess this video will have to do. On Amazon you have a video from a very helpful lady about how to fold the Abco Pop Up Tent, and I want to thank you and her for making that video available. Amazon has plenty of videos from helpful people eager to show us how to do it. Well, I watched a few of them and got nowhere. One guy folded his tent beyond the camera frame, a couple of others did it so fast I have no idea what they did. But that lady.... ohh, she is wonderful! Particularly that part about where to put your hands on the tent and how to bring them together. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
This is the perfect setup!
This guy seems very humble and laid back, kinda gives me Tony Hawk vibes but for overlanders lol. I will be checking out his stuff! Thanks!
Nice and clean for the gentleman and his doggo❤
Wow, what a beautiful beast
Hello Brad and Lilly! Good to see you on Bob’s channel. I hope the collaboration boosts yours as well. Thanks for sharing Bob!
Absolutely love this rig!
Love his realness, just say it like it is😊
Adorable pup and great rig setup! Cheers - Nola
The overwhelming stress of the rat race: climbing out of the maze can fix so many health problems. Good rig and great presentation.
💖 That's a cool set up. Thank you for sharing with us. 😀
I know of a sunraider camper. It's in desperate need of a complete.. it's a slide in camper for a pickup..
I'm going to get it for a motorhome type rig
Great video 🙏 Thank y'all
Fascinating rig. Loved it.
The sunraiders and dolphins are some of the best deals out there in cheap, reliable, manageable size rv's
Loved everything about this video thanks for sharing ❤
Nice! Thank you for sharing.
Dang! That sunrader is older than my momma!
Nice setup and nice guy.
Great arrangement! What an innovative rig. And they're right - now I want to look for one of these Toyota Sunraders! Will definitely find Brad's channel.
Thanks for this❤
Great conversion, thanks for sharing.
A nice job on this camper. It looks fully functional and a cozy place to live. A great video, Bob.
Try packing cubes for your coats or other clothes. I love them. So easy to move and otherwise manage clothing 😊👍🏼
No sink works for me. I got a Boxio Wash. No pex, no leaks, no winterizing to worry about.
Cool rig
I have a boxvan but now I want to abscond with my son's Toyota Tacoma! Love this build.
This is BEAUTIFUL. And yes -- I want one!!! He's given me several good ideas!
I just got myself a 1985 Nissan Sunrader. What a coincidence! I got a great deal on it but I have a lot of cosmetic work to do on the inside. Fun stuff, though!
Praying for your health condition! Your rig is so awesome!!
Excellent rig. Ticks all the boxes.
Love your set up !!!
What a beautiful neat home! I esp. love the way the wood burner is set up and that ultra-creative spice rack.
Sweet rig. Like the hammock mounts!
Nice man, nice dog, nice home.
Great rig!!! Good luck on the road!
Great set up! Good interview Bob; thank you!
Thanks for the excellent materials and working my way towards your world.God bless.
Perfect rig!
great setup!
That's one great rig! 🤠
This man is very prepared. Awesome!!
