- Finally! A walk around and look at the flatbed camper i built for my 2001 Tacoma. I will definitely do a more in depth look and go over built materials, weights and more details soon. Leave me a comment on what details you really want to know!

When a single man outshines the biggest names in overlanding. Incredible build my friend.
I think he’s married
@@Lucious_Skywalker he means dude made it by himself. Not his marital status bro
@@Lucious_Skywalker lmao
Totally agree 👍
Love that generation of Tacoma, skinny for the trails and not too much tech. Great build, one of the best DIY builds I’ve ever seen.
this is the best overland set up ive watched so far
What a fantastic job of engineering your camper. So many details with a bit of genius mixed in making it stand out from the crowd. The fact that you did this yourself makes it 10x cooler than anything commercially produced. The well-thought-out storage is next level and the matching pelican cases look awesome! I'm inspired to do my own and sell my rooftop tent. Thank you for sharing this with us!
This is one of the best solutions I have found for tacoma camping. The combination of spaciousness, weight and overall size and form factor is not an easy balance to get right. I think this camper has found a wonderful combination of all three.
I currently have a Four Wheel Camper (finch) on my long bed tacoma and it has served me well. But I often wish I had the flatbed openness that allows for entry on the sides as opposed to the back. It changes the space dramatically from feeling like a tunnel to more of an actual room. I may consider looking into the technicalities behind doing something similar to this build in the future.
Awesome work and thanks for the inspiration!
Simply fantastic. I have been in a quandry for several months about my overland direction. I have a 2002 double cab Tcoma just like yours, but also have a 1993 wrangler. Seeing your video has inspired me to sell the jeep and build a very similar rig on the TComa. So thanks for that. Been following you for a couple of years and love your direction and insight. If you are ever up in the Monterey/Santa Cruz area, drop me a line. Cheers, Chris.
Thrilled to see another Overland Under Budget video in my feed! Keep ‘em coming! The fact that this is all built for and by you makes this my favorite camper build. I’d love to see how you connected the shell to the fabric, particularly how you accounted for water intrusion. Also curious about any electrical work you did for interior lighting.
Thanks Daniel! I really appreciate that. So the top of the camper has 2x2 angle aluminum all the way around the lip. So water would have to come in at the lid of the camper and then travel up 2inchs to come in. But the on top of that, the fabric is attached to the outside of the lip so when water is on the fabric it runs down and off the outside of the camper as well. Make sense?
@@OverlandUnderBudget Yes, that makes sense! Thanks for the reply!
Your channel and builds hit so closely yo home for me and probably for many of us bc I love building things and working on my truck myself. Im also a new welder and in the spring ill purchase your awning template and give that a shot. Thanks for documenting your ideas and builds and helping out the community bc I know I definitely cant walk into these off road shops and afford what I want. So DIY it is to save on cost!
Wow phenomenal work....this is the exact setup that I was planning to make for my 2nd gen. Really helps picturing it now....thanks for sharing.
Innovative and purposeful build. Can't wait to see the other videos. I'm excited to see your channel do well. you and your skills deserve it👍🏼
Thank you Al i really appreciate it !
Love DIY builds, look forward to starting my day with this video! ~ Brian
Thanks Brian! i really appreciate that.
Absolutely outstanding concept/design/execution! Subbed, and looking forward to watching more of your work. Thanks for sharing it!
I never subscribe to channels, or even comment, but this is on a whole other level than anything I've seen before!! I really want to see all the gritty details of how this thing was designed and built! Awesome Job! I'm inspired to do something like this with my own Tacoma!
Amazing work. I have been checking RUclips every single week just to make sure that i wont miss this tour. Looking forward to see your upcoming one
love it! i was waiting to see this finished and you knocked it out of the park! videos like this make me wait to post about my own projects
That is absolutely an outstanding build! What a great job. One of the best jobs Ive seen.
That’s fantastic! Great to see a more detailed video, amazing work!
This is amazing. Such dedication, passion and ingenuity - great job. If you ever decide to build these commercially, I want to be your first customer!
Gorgeous job! Glad to hear you are getting some recognition and, more importantly, getting out and enjoying the fruits of your labour!
Thanks Owen! its been pretty wild, and man so fun to use.
Amazing build brother. One of the best DIY’s I’ve seen. Creative use of space. It’s a tiny house on a taco!
That truck camper is awesome. Reminds me of a teardrop trailer except its on the back of your truck and that makes it so much more versatile. Great Build.
Randomly found this video watching a bunch of truck bed camper vids, and I was blown away at the opening shot. I'm 99% sure you filmed this a couple miles from where I live.
Great build! 👏
Glad your back your projects motivate me
Wow, the last time I checked the channel you were building a 270 awning and man, you have come a long ways! This is frigging amazing...nice work!
Top notch build. You can tell a lot of thought went into this
Wow, this is such an awesome build. Definitely looking forward to the build video. Want to make this! Great job!
Great Job, nice thought out, Practical, fun and innovative. Love what you have done 😊🚙🌟👍
Would love to see more details where the fabric attaches to the lower frame, and how it's setup for drainage if at all. Saw your rig at MDO a few weeks back, looks so good in-person.
This build is so cool, I love the flatbed and how your camper can come on and off with ease. I've been tossing around ideas of how to do something like this to my truck and you perfected it. Where did you source your acp sheets from?? I can't seem to find anywhere that sells that big of sheets. Awesome build man!
This is the coolest thing ever! Nice work. I’m super pumped to learn how you made that.
Very inspiring!
thank you! I will definitely go over the build process and materials in the next video
"You will not get any weather intrusion into your sleeping experience"? You are phenomenal, man. 😀
Well done. Love your approach by keeping it simple practical and under a limited budget. After retirement I swear never to tow anything ever. For me freedom is to experience much with as little as possible. It is surprising how far one can go if we become more in harmony with nature. From Africa.
wow i just found your channel and look forward for more what a beautiful truck man great build favorite year of tacoma im a chevy guy but that four door taco is a dream truck for me love it great work
Absolute amazing build! Something I would like to do once I get a truck.
So awesome! And it didn’t cost a ton of money, functional affordable and light👍🏻👍🏻
Lol when you rolled out that second drawer with 2 more Pelicans 🤯🤩
Just came across your video. Pretty cool set up! I love it! The only thing I would do is make windows with screens to keep mosquitoes away because I would feel claustrophobic with the windows closed even tho you have that awesome skylight. Other than that I think you’ve done an incredible awesome job with it! 🙌😊
Now thats a perfect well thought out DIY build. At first I thought the back end was sticking out too far but after seeing how much room you have, its not a concern. Perfect for Overlanding. Whats the canopy frame material? Square aluminum tube with aluminum outer sheets? Love it.
That’s a really well thought out setup ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved this! Great job buddy!
Very impressive! I can see the functionality of your design!
Amazing job! Amazing truck! Amazing camper! You did it man! 👍👍👍
That’s crazy awesome!!!!
That's a well thought out truck camper. Good job!!!
So cool! Great work!
This is so cool. Compact, useful, and fun.
I have a 1986 Jeep Comanche. I’m starting a process similar to this and let me say I couldn’t thank you more. I’m not trying to copy you exactly because I have different needs. But thank you for inspiring me not to settle for something that can be bought but rather something I built for me.
Amazing! I love your sweet set up!
stoked to be here and follow along
Awesome build, truly amazing, thanks
That’s amazing. So impressed!!
It's been a long time!! Been waiting for this!!
That turned out amazing. Well done.
Good job mate...
I love the idea I love every single things but the color of that camper box
Dude, what a vibe u have, good shit
So cool. Amazing job
Holy cow! Sweet setup.
Amazing build. Bravo! 👏
amazing work. really great design and excellent execution!
thank you so much
Slick as can be. Those Tacomas are awesome. Long may she run!
Awesome. I’m stuck with a tent in the bed for now lol. I’m loving it though
Awesome build!!!
Nice build! I dig it.
absolute sick! i want this done to my 79s
Dude! This is soooo slick. I’ve been dreaming and planning a similar build for my 2010 Ford Ranger 4x4; little truck but tons of potential like these older Tacoma’s. I love that you’ve built on the chassis versus the traditional truck bed inlay. The quality and utility of the build is top notch. Kudos to you! 🤘🏻
I’m really looking forward to your next video on construction materials, insulation, build weight and methods used for framing the upper and lower assembly. Once again, superb build!
I’ve had two ‘08 3l v6 rangers, and I now have an 02 first gen Tacoma a buddy was going to scrap he abandoned at my place that had no clutch and a bad frame. A friend and I fixed it up better than new and it is a way better truck than a ranger. If you haven’t already started building on yours I recommend not investing in a ranger. Find a junky 1st gen to bring back. They’re way more fun to drive and are better constructed over all.
why not just bring a tent and use it rather than build that small camper
@@omaralam18 because that would be way too inexpensive and reasonable!
@@omaralam18 I’ve slept countless nights under the stars with and without a camper. Because, building a camper is a technical challenge that I’d like to experience. It would be a fun project to say I built this. And yes, without a camper is far too cheap and reasonable. Ha!!
@@brianklepper8454 yes building a camper is nice but for me i like to make a little big one that i can stand up inside
Beautiful build. Appreciate hand made things.
Just saw the video on TFL! You're my hero!
Badass build! Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻🍻
Very cool! This is the perfect size for that truck. I own a Toyota Hiace I did a camper build with and need to make a walk around video one of these days
Excellent.
Nice work.
Love them older small Toyota trucks. Amazing build.
" Simplicity is the highest form of sophistication."
This build is proof if that statement
Wow, well done! Awesome design and build….🤙🏾
Beautiful. I like it so much and thanks for sharing.
Very well thought out build!
amazing love it !! DIY rocks !!!
Awesome setup.
Your exquisitely beautiful, meticulously designed and superbly crafted Travel Cabin is elegantly simple and simply elegant!
Awesome Build. Really cool all weather sleeping camper! :)
Love this build something like this is what I want I currently have a huge caravan and want something smaller but still able to sleep 2 adults and three kids which this could definitely sleep. liked the video and subscribed.
awesome build dude
That's my fav color for Toyota trucks. Very cool camper
This is the best camper I have ever seen. DIY or commercial built. Great efficency and creativity. I am going to copy your idea as best I can. Hope you don't mind because I am doing it.
Bro that view at the start is awesome. Good job.
Super sick!
Great job, thanks for sharing !
Man, you did an amazing job on that rig. I can’t wait to see more of your adventures. By the way, wife’s family is from Weed CA so i know your filming location well. My Shasta looked good that day.
that truck is a beauty
Good for you! I tell women often that I camp and they look at me with disgust. Keep enjoying life! Timmy C Arizona
Amazing work!!
Your truck is so gorgeous!!!!!!!
Wow, nice Tacocabin. Excellent work.
