Overland Truck Tour: Multiple Reasons why THIS 1st Gen Tundra is the Holy Grail of 4x4 Nomad Rigs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июл 2020
- Hey Everyone! This is my friend Leo. He was kind enough to give us a walk around tour of his truck and explain why he feels as though he's returned to his childhood roots by overlanding. He drives a 2005 Toyota Tundra which has some special features. It's not quite as big as the current full-size trucks but it's larger than a mid-size. The truck bed is 6 inches deeper allowing for more storage and headroom with your platform build inside the topper. The engine/drive train is legendary for durability and you can get about any aftermarket part you want for this truck. This will be the direction I go next when I'm done with my current rig.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OFF-GRID AND SELF SUFFICIENT HOMESTEADING
Definition of "Off-Grid": Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid, but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from residential homes to small communities.
Self-sufficient means needing no outside help in satisfying one's basic needs, especially about the production of food, and homesteading means living a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. So by those definitions, the key to homesteading is learning to be self-sufficient.

Just hot an 05 Tundra double cab Limited. I Love my new Rig.
Awesome! I have a 1st gen tundra as well and can attest it is an incredible platform for off grid/overlanding. My only complaint is how limited the aftermarket is for these trucks. More companies need to start opening up parts availability for the 1st gen tundra!
bike tube works! cool truck and great video.
@Mav: I was thinking of you while watching this. He's got a nice kitchen set up.
I liked his light bars and grille guard front bumper set up too
My windows not even broken but I saw your bike tube set up and have been rocking it for the last 3 months! Totally works and is awesome.
There are very few countries in the world where people are able to live an awesome life like that.
I am blessed my parents raised me where I live 🙏
I see that Melanzana sticker on your water bottle! Leadville rocks
I've come back to this video a bunch of times now this one is a classic.
Thank you Rob 🙌
I have big upgrades on the truck currently and more coming next year! Stay tuned for another walk around in the fall 2022
Yeah brother I just picked one up last week. A 2006 toyota tundra 2006 SR5 double cab 4x4 with 142k miles. I sold my 2003 V6 tacoma tacoma prerunner TRD off road double cab with the rear lockers for 12,500 and picked up the tundra for 13k..I love the space, power and convenience factor of the rear sliding window. It's a different animal and best upgrade from my V6 ....
So nice to see his son with him making those great memories. Would have liked to hear his thoughts as a young boy camping too.
Michael you will get your wish!
The kid is actually my friend Tylers son! The green Tundra in the background is his rig and there will be a walk through on his truck and him and his son so stay tuned!
I am so ready to pull the trigger and start my life doing what you do minus the channel. Thanks for such honest insight. I'm nearly 60. Still fit enough to travel this way.
all I know,I'd love to as well. Almost 62 and female. I know other women solo camp.
Leo did a great job with his 2005 Tundra Double Cab. He's very inspiring.
Thank you sir! I'm on a rebuild process so stay tuned, big changes next year!
Cutting board on the fridge slideout is brilliant. I also like the foldout stove shelf on the tire carrier.
Super cool setup! Glad you could share it Brain!
Really inspired now to do this myself! Thanks to you both for a great review.
Great build! Well thought out and not too crazy! Thanks for sharing!
Leo has got this figured out. Thanks for sharing his story.
Thank you 🙌
Leo seems like a real genuine guy! What a nice truck set up. The tarp would be a great idea for your truck especially cooking in the rain. Great interview! Take care🇨🇦 ❤️
Wow!!! Thanks, guys, for a great tour of your vehicle "camper" set-up!!! Great ideas, and it looks well thought out!!...
Awesome video. I just recently bought my first Truck and can not wait to get some camping gear and get the Eff out of the city on the weekends. Thank you so much for sharing.
That build is so well thought out ..looks badass ... good job ..🤘
Man so this is the video that made me buy my first gen Tundra! So cool!
That is sooo awesome to hear!!!!
Your going to love the adventures to come in your new Tundra!
Awesome truck/camper and ideas for inside set up. Nice exploring alternatives video, great job! Nice filming.
so much value in those tundras! I’m always looking for another one
Nice rig! I bet you cant wait to get all your gear on yours. Looking forward to seeing it once it's all done. Have a good evening Brian and Sierra
Really like the tailgate stove , you have a great rig!
More of these plz Brian! Lets see the life, community, and diversity of setups out there
Stealing that Slumberjack tarp idea, would work great to keep the softopper a little more weather proof.
Awsome build. I also have a 05 tundra. Starting my build now got a ton of ideas from this thanks so much. Keep it up thanks so much
Michael are you part of the "First Gen Tundras" group on Facebook? Thats where I got most of my inspiration and knowledge on my rig :)
Nice B roll. Loving the drone footage
What a sweet setup! 👍🏽
Great walk around video
Cool set up! I like the whole thing!😊👍👍
That is a really nice setup you got going on there especially I like that fridge 55 quarts that is plenty and you can set one side to a freezer and one side to a fridge perfect. Please keep having fun . I know back in 79 I bought a brand new Toyota off the showroom floor Hilux it with the 5-speed and I had a topper for that a lot of my buddies mad Toppers on their Toyotas to and most of those guys had a boot kit in between so they could cross straight through into their trucks so I know they didn't leak at all. They were rubber at that point solid and you mounted those around the Toyota window hole and then set the camper to them they flexed with movement no problem so I know if they did it back in 79 they surely have a good system now. Stay safe and stay well and as always God bless
Bloody awesome bru!
Sweet setup!
This is a great setup!
I’m looking for a first gen tundra right now. Very cool truck!
Such awesome trucks, I really like Leo's and also Tyler's truck (ruclips.net/video/0sdSLPJXX7c/видео.html). Hope you had a great weekend, Blake!
Nice rig and setup
Nice setup!
Leo, you're rig is one of my favorite 1st gen Tundras. Strong work!
Thank you! I love repping you guys just sorry your logo was covered by the tarp 🤦♂️🤷♂️😅
@@leoaccaira413 LOL! No problem. We appreciate all your support.
Hey buddy great job with your TT
Do you still have the link for the tailgate and the fridge set up?
LEO Jr! Good people from the BV! Missing CO these days. Great video Overland!
I love this video! This is very inspiring and inspirational.
Thank you Jack! That brings so much joy to me to hear 🙌
A great laid back interview/walk-around. Really enjoyed it...
Thanks for tuning in, William
Thank you! I very much enjoy Brians interview style!
Working on a rebuild on the truck this year, big changes coming next year! Stay tuned for a future video!
Love the fridge and stove pull out!
Thank you Adventure Bear!!!! Hope to meet you this fall if you come through!
I absolutely love this build. Nicely done! Really like that topper and front bumper setup along with rear bumper setup. Great job
Thank you! It was a lot of time, thought, money, and research 🙌
@@leoaccaira413 it shows man. Very nice, enjoy!
Thanks!
Super Great walk around, with a super humble guy man!🤙🏽
We think alot alike when with approach towards these 1stgenTundras...
👉🏽 33"s / 2.5 - 3" lift/ Truck Topper, so you can jam down the road... 🏜
Love my 02' Tundra sr5 4wd trd system.
Such an awesome set up
Thank you Steve!
thanks for sharing this video that guy is a G
Thank you Rob!
I do agree 33s take me most places. Nice rig
Cool rig, Leo.
Thank you Jacki!
In the last video, I commented that I watch all of the adds. As long as they are under a minute. That is my threshold between letting the ad roll to support the channel and skipping it because it is too much of a time commitment to watch multiple adds that are longer than one minute in the same video. I hope this feedback helps. Thanks for putting out great content. Cheers!
Awesome video. This is similar to the setup Shane wanted to have. I insisted that we needed more room, and I love our house, but I question that decision sometimes.
Hi Brian & Sierra.
Great interview! Leo is so neat and well organized in his rig and he presents himself very well. Thanks Brian!
Brenda thank you very much!
love the truck, but leo really is the gem here
Thank you so much 🙌🤟
05 06..... Last of the full size V8 trucks that aren't rolling houses and can go just about anywhere. I will be buried with my 06 DC. I have the exact set up with the high rise shell. Bomb ass truck!
One thing you learn when setting up like this, is that every inch counts! In Australia we have a company who makes window coverings that suction to any sized window from the inside which insulates as well as great for privacy. Convenient as they can come on and off whenever you feel. 🇦🇺
Nice! Mine are all velcro up with industrial strength outdoor velcro...i can take them down but usually choose to leave them up 24/7 to keep heat out and prevent people from seeing all the gear in the back..
@@leoaccaira413 I can understand that but I have a Ford Transit Motorhome which is my regular vehicle as well, so I take them all down when driving. Originally I had made up some covers until I discovered this company that made them to order. The privacy is so important isn't it? Everyone wants to try and look inside and they don't care about someone being inside either! I'm not into curtains, so was so glad to get these. They also make a great difference to the temperature too, especially in Summer when you want to keep it darker and cooler. Winter, they're great as well as they are pretty thick and keep in the warmth. I'm looking forward to getting back out again but our State of Victoria is back to the harshest restrictions and our borders are closed and declared a State of Disaster. Our Capital, Mebourne, is even worse and are under a curfew. I'm stuck at present but then it gives me time to re-arrange bits and pieces in the Van whilst not living in it. I was on the road for five years, my longest so far. I managed by myself, (yes I'm female) despite having chronic back pain but with the help of my now late German Shepherd, Ushi. She was great company and terrific protection. I bought my Van completely empty and had it built up bit by bit. I've still got some things to do but I'll get around to them when I can. Its more than comfy enough to live in and that is what counts. Happy trails! 🚐
Hi Leo!!! 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
Hello Lady Alex 👋
going to start building out my 2002 Tundra this soon! only 48K miles!
Man, that's amazing to have such low mileage! That truck will last forever. Have fun with your build out!
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures I know! My grandpa and I used to do all kinds of adventures in it, but he is getting too old to drive now and handed it down to me. Gotta keep the adventures alive!
@@austingriffith5580 That is awesome, I had a great grandpa too and use his metal plate he had as a kid as my primary camp plate. It's 100 years old and I love thinking about him when I use it. Enjoy making more memories on the trail!
You have a diamond bro! Take care of her! Change those LBJs and timing belt every 100k and she will run forever
Hello Bryan it is amazing that this week alone all the things I have heard about truck camping about off grid tiny houses, trolls painting on RUclipsrs before building off grid cabins in every single interview it has been why why why why do people do it it seems like one person does it then the rest of the RUclipsrs jump on the bandwagon and ask the same question it's like a monopoly of why why why amazing Simply Amazing Brian stay safe stay well and as always God bless
Nice set up👍 check out the mountain hatch for your tailgate would work great with your set up!
Thank you! Will look into it bro!
Hey Leo I really like your set-up. I'm from BV too and last year I purchased a 2006 Tundra Double Cab to convert to a platform bed camper set-up. Mine came with a Leer cab level topper however, but I make it work. I did purchase the Napier Sportz Link 51000 with Attachment Sleeve, which isn't designed for the Tundra, but it looked like it might fit and does well for an extra 8' x 8' enclosed area off the tailgate. But, with the ARE you have I am not sure due to height. Just still have some final touches.
Hell ya man! If your in BV we need to get together and meet up! I see tons of Tundras driving around and I know a lot of them would would love to meet more 🙌
@@leoaccaira413 I will let you know when I am back up there. I have relatives that still live there as well.
Dang, just as 1st gen prices were starting to come down.
I just bought one. They are still pricey but I think they are worth it based on what I’ve read. I haven’t had time to play with it yet. :(
@@kyjelly5524 with that 2uz fe engine it’s worth it. That engine is legendary.
They're back up!
My boy lives in his Tacoma, it’s a similar setup except he’s a little bit further along with the boot idea and what not
What kit does he run? Does he leave it in full time?
Leo Accaira he uses a shell sheeeit you gotta ask him haha
05-06 Tundras are immensely underrated.
That said, if anyone has one with little to zero rust, please let me know. :D
All 2000-06 are good trucks
#1! Hi Brian & Sierra!!! 💖💖💖
Hi Lady Alex! :)
Hello Leo.
Hello Jacki! :)
Nice truck Leo... do you ever go in to the Taylor park area ?
I do from time to time for sure! You in that area?
I’ve has two of these sell out from under me in the last week. Ridiculously high demand for 1st gen tundras
It took me a year of searching for one that wasn't completely rusted out frame or beaten on a body panel...but patience and perseverance will pay off!
I found me a 4x4 manual transmission 01 with 76,000 miles on it almost 2 years ago. I love this truck so much! Perfect size
What roof rack is he running? I mean the towers, not the basket. I am building up my first gen tundra as well! Great vid, thanks for sharing.
The roof rack is by Inno :) its removable even though I'm probably to lazy to ever remove it...my theory behind it was to be able to swap over all the parts in the even of an offroad accident or age
Awesome build! Where can I get a set of those 52” light bar mounts!?
I got the mount from a guy in the "first gen tundras" facebook group...he makes them specifically for the first gens..
Kudos for pronouncing BV correctly!
Thanks its taken a lot of years of correcting 😂🤣😅
1st gen tundra gang
GREAT Video!!! I have a 2005 Tundra Double Cab TRD in dark red. I'd like some additional info if you would be so kind. It seems like finding aftermarket products for the 1st Gen. Tundra's is not so easy. What are you running for a Roof Rack and how did you attach it? Is that a Sequoia Snorkel? If not, where did you get it? Are both front and rear Bumpers from Brute Force? Are you running Lockers? What brand of Suspension are you running? Thank you!
William be happy to try and answer any questions! For a good feel on aftermarket parts you should join "First Gen Tundras" facebook group, that's where I learned everything I know!
As for the rest of the questions roof rack is a rola Vortex with a 16 inch basket extension to make it longer and the roof rack i run is Inno. The snorkel is literally an 80 dollar snorkel for a series 100 land cruiser. Front/ rear bumpers / and sliders are all made by Brute Force Fabrications out of California, they specialize in Toyota aftermarket and even though online doesn't list first gen stuff gice them a call, they have it ;)
I currently don't have lockers but will soon run harrop e lockers and re gear the rear end..i have Toytec 3 inch colored kit currently wish works well for someone getting started, but as much as I offroad I will be upgrading to a Fox dual resivour coilover :)
@@leoaccaira413 HI Leo! THANK YOU for your time and info! Looking forward to more Gen 1 Videos!
I have an 2005 Tundra w the same shell. The one thing you didn’t talk about much is your over-cab roof rack and that’s what I’m trying to figure out. What are your suggestions?
My suggestion is keep the weight as light as possible up there...im actually getting rid of the basket next year and just running a 200w solar panel on the roof racks...going to have a different topper next year for my new build and it overhangs the cab a little so the roof basket is going away
Cool...
I love this truck, seems to be the perfect size giving me a little more room to operate.
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures yeah I'm looking at the 05,06 models....found a few but haven't pulled the trigger yet....
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures I've had 2 small pickups and 2 full size trucks. The extra room in a full sized truck is priceless. Vaughn
What gears was he running....
So inspirational! I am new to this overland/truck life (somewhat of an outdoorsman & light car maintenance; avid backpacker, new hunting license). how much would this whole setup cost so I know how much to save ?
Edward, the truck was around 12k
I have around 15k in aftermarket and gear for the truck
Leo Accaira thank you !!!
What job can be stressful out in Buena Vista? I would love to move close to Buena but I’m stuck in Littleton for work. Will be on vacation starting this weekend and will be out that way. I love Mt Princeton, Gunnison and Crested Butte areas. Sweet set up with the truck. I have a 4runner with a 3” 2.5fox lift/33’s and was able to do Red Cone and Radical Hill with no issues.
The mystique vs reality of living in BV...unfortunately it's the Front Rangers who makes Leo's job extremely stressful. I've seen the way the Denver and Springs people talk to him at the Hot Springs. It's sad to see so many entitled people speak so poorly to someone who is interested in making their stay pleasant. BV is a tough place to live because of ebb and flow of people with different values who inundate the town on the weekends.
There’s always going to be aholes, just like the lady who encountered your camp thinking she owns the place. A few bad apples doesn’t ruin the tree for me. It’s not worth it. Blow them off and think to yourself man it must suck being that person. My job is stressful because of the work we do for Space n Defense systems. Hopefully there’s still some fish left for me up there and I can’t wait to relieve some stress. Safe travels🤙🏻
@@ZacTexC Unfortunately, from what I've seen it's more the norm than the exception. Many people in BV feel they are looked at as just there to make sure the Front Rangers are happy on the weekend. I've witnessed it first hand and there's definitely a divide in thinking. Another thing that doesn't help is BV is a very economically depressed town where the average income is something like $22K. There's a lot of animosity towards those who come from bigger cities and talk down to those in town. That's why I chose to leave BV, too much infighting and the outside pressures of the Front Range just kept escalating.
Love the shade over the back. Brand? Where to source? Thanks
Got it! Slumberjack...thanks!
Sorry I'm slow 😅
You got it!
What fridge slide are you using?
I use DFG offroad fridge slide :) great quality 👌
I have a 2006 toyota prerunner that i've lifted and installed good offroad tires. it's always in the back of my head that i dont have 4x4 and have to pick my trails carefully. i've considered converting to 4x4... but I also looking at trading it in on a 1st gen tundra 4x4. can lockers be installed on these?
Yes they absolutely can! some people go ARB but im going to go Harrop E Locker and 4.88 gears next year...
Wonder how many miles were on it and what he paid when he got it. The price on these has been skyrocketing lately it’s sad 😖
I have 240k on the truck currently...
I bought it 4 years ago for $12k and it had 190 thousand miles...Toyotas are beat up and hard to find in Colorado, very overpriced right now
Truck was completely bone stock with 30 inch tires when I got it
Cool shirt! Who is it be made by?
Got it at a vendor at a hippy festival..
#myfavoriteshirtfortheinterview 😂🤣😅
What shirt is he wearing???? The blue one omg i need it!!!
Thats a music festival special 🤣😂 got it at a vendor booth at a hippy festival in Alma Colorado
@@leoaccaira413 jealous AF
Me again... the green Tundra in the background, what tent is that on the top? What rack and mounting did they go with? I have what looks like the same Topper/Cap. Mine is a Leer. The Leer dealer said I could get a Rail system for the top of mine but... the weight limit was what I thought to be low. Thanks again!
William there will be a whole rig walk through of his truck coming soon, stay tuned!
I'll be editing the video of Tyler's green Tundra today. I'll have it posted up this afternoon...great truck!
@@leoaccaira413 I'm looking forward to it! Thanks!
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures Cool! Thanks!
What frig slider ? For the snow master?
Fridge slide is from DFG offroad...I realized after doing the video I didn't give them the propper shout out I should have
Hi Leo, I have the same truck and am looking to upgrade the suspension as I am chewing through CV axles with my current lift kit. Would you mind sharing the parts and tires you went with?
Hello Charlie, I currently run a toytec 3 inch coilover with 285/75/17s
My friends have fox dual coilovers on their tundras and thats the rout I will go when I have the money...
I haven't had any issues with my CVs yet but my friends have upgraded to high angle CV axles and I will go that rout when mine go out...
Any other questions let me know :)
Thanks@@leoaccaira413 !
Charlie I also forgot to mention, you NEED aftermarket upper control arms when you do a lift on these trucks...when you lift on a stock UCA the alignment gets out of wack and really eats up your tires on an off camber...
I recommend total chaos or Camburge UCAs because they have an aftermarket uniball design that allows for more flex and articulation...
@@leoaccaira413 Good call. I actually already have camburg UCAs, the previous owner did a hacky lift job that tore up the steering rack, so I've been slowly putting new parts in, I finally have the time and money to finish the job.
00-04 are just as good as your 05-06's
Yeah, they are all great trucks. The main attraction to the overlanding crowd is the 6 inch deeper beds in those two years, we aren't dissing the other years. This feature allows for more storage space with a decked system on buildouts.
Squanch your absolutely right! The early 2000 AC tundras are just as amazing and reliable with the same 4.7, as Brian mentioned I was referring to these years for the deeper bed with the DC..they made DCs in 04 aswell but they didn't have the lower balljoint upgrade so I tend not to recommend the 04 DCs to people thats why I say 05-06 :)
What year is this truck?
This is a 2005 Double cab Tundra
How's the frame holding up on that Tundra? 🤔
With 230,000 miles and 7000 pounds fully loaded its solid...took me almost a year and looking at like 6 tundras that were "rust free" before finding this one next state over...lol
@@leoaccaira413 Yeah I would like to try a Tundra or Tacoma but I don't know if I can trust the frames since I live in a state where there is salt all over the roads in the winter. Even though the frame might look good now, I don't know what it will look like 5-6 years down the road. 🤷
@@jimh.412 no that is true, I live in Colorado where the air is perfect for them....if you live where there's salt these frames ruat out fast because of the thinner metal Toyota used..
@@leoaccaira413 Yep thanks for the info. I guess I'll stick with Ford. 👍
Does Leo or his truck have an instagram?
I unfortunately am to lazy to do the whole social media thing...but I do have a Facebook if you had anymore questions about my build feel free t o message me :)
"Leo John Accaira)
What is this mans insta. I still have questions
My instagram is inactive, I have a Facebook if you feel like asking there :)
"Leo John Accaira"
Dig the truck just not the whole stickers all over looks like my elementary notebook
Different strokes for different folks is what I always say, it does look tacky at times but no doubt no mistaking my truck in a crowd of Toyotas...plus I hear each sticker adds +5hp....by my calculations I'm pulling way more HP than what the TRD supercharger would offer lol
I just can't understand any of this, honestly. I feel like he could have saved a lot of money by starting with a Sequoia instead of a Tundra.
Sequoia isn’t the right vehicle for my plans… I have a whole new set up coming for a video this fall so stay tuned for the new set up to accommodate family style living :)
Gas mileage sucks, only reason i wont get this truck..
I definitely bought it for the smiles per mile factor and not MPG 🤣😅
Plus its so reliable, only time it ever goes into the shop is because I broke some suspension component 😅
The motors bulletproof
CORONA IS TO BRING IN THE NWO! PLEASE BECOME A CHRISTIAN!
CARBON MONOXIDE detector. If you're using the camper at any time using the pass-through window to provide hot/cool air please install one they are cheap and will save your life. These trucks are not intended to be used this way and the tail pipe exhaust is vented in such a way that small amounts of carbon monoxide leaking into the truck is possible.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is dangerous and deadly even in VERY small concentrations. It can accumulate in your blood very very slowly, causing increased heart rate and breath rate as your body is starved for air. It attaches to the blood heme with a stronger bond than oxygen (O2), meaning vital organs cannot pull O2 from the blood. The lungs likely will not be able to pull the monoxide off the blood to expel it and will resort to discarding problematic heme through fecal waste to build new, this will happen extremely slowly. Get to the hospital if you suspect this has happened, they will provide supplemental oxygen and other treatments that will be key in saving your life.
Thank you for pointing that out! I have in fact added a monoxide detector in the truck shortly after this video was shot!
Good call being safe!
@@leoaccaira413 So happy to hear.
Killer job on the truck Leo, and thanks Off-Grid great video!
Thank you sir! In a rebuild process on the truck this year! Big changes coming next year! Stay tuned!
