That was both a very interesting and inspiring video. Interesting to watch the absolute maximum efficiency being made out of a small space. Inspiring to watch individuals in their 20's, 30's, and 50's all working together towards a common goal.
Amazing. I'm 74 and would love to do something similar to my 2007 Nissan Xterra SUV! It would also need space for a standard poodle! What a creative team you are.
FYI, when you buy your sheeting, just stain it as a 4 x 8 sheet that way when you get done and you’re ready to finish your final product are you have to do is touch up staining
Would you happen to have the plans for this build? I think it’s perfect and would like to build this in my FJ. Perhaps a “floor plan” on a different website?
Nice job! Nice to have teamwork and tools:) The only thing I didn’t get was the placement of the cooler. I like to have a coffee and morning meditation before I face the world:) Wish you Happy Trails:)
i wanna know how you get a beer out of the Yeti when you're chillin in your bed? Cuz that's important. Reading a book, watching a movie and .... ahhh I want a bevy
This reminds me of the Flintstone episode where Fred and Barney were converting Fred's FlintMobile into a camper. Of course they used slate and tanned hides instead of plywood.
BAD ASS!!! Guys this I think may be the best I’ve seen so far out all the systems I’ve seen here on RUclips. I’m going to have to change I’m going to have to change my design now, glad had not started the build yet.
Use the gap by the wheel wells for your window covers for night and privacy/stealth and add a bungee or a belt to stop the books from flying off the shelf when you put on the brakes
Amazing. Just a couple of tweaks and it would be perfect. If the door was on the other side you could add a drop table and possible a holder for a collapsible sink bucket. Also if the cooler was on a slide that dropped down so you can see in and access easily this would be the next upgrade I would work on.
What an amazing job you young guys did on this makeover. Now only if you could do a makeover on old age wrinkles on my 83 year old body. You could be a millionaire. Giggle. It would be fun to live in van Spring, Summer and Fall, then Florida for the winter. TheAdirondack Mountains would be my choice. I love ❤️ Pleasant Lake , anywhere where there’s a lake I’ll take. Grew up in upstate New York. I alway wanted to go home. Now stuck in an old age home. New Granny fan now
Bro, I really like the way you edited this video, explanation segments were dope flowing right into the work and the advertisement flowed right in to your video. Of course the project itself came out Fire!! But I enjoyed the flow of the vid. Cool story bro.
Wow. As a Journeyman carpenter. WELL DONE. i enjoyed every minute of your Instructional video. Very well laid out. I will say, i viewed this as to get ideas to do the same. I am on same plane. As far as creativity. I will say it was a joy to see the comradeship and working towards an end Goal. Way cool.
Impressive work gentlemen. Given the square footage and what you managed to fit into it, pretty sweet. Could it have been done differently, as some have pointed out here, sure. But since it's Luc's house and he's the one that knows what he wants and needs in his own home, looks to me like it turned out perfectly. Luc, enjoy the travels in your updated home.
Impressive build, guys. Can we see how Luke is gonna fit on that sleeping platform? The FJ doesn't have much length back there without all that extra stuff you placed in there. I'm 5'10" and can't lie down straight in the back of an empty FJ.
I want to see how the sleeping set up looks with him in it. Pretty neat but I was wondering how he could fit. Does he fold forward the front seat entirely or how does this work? On camera the length looked relatively small. Or maybe it’s just me anxious and itching being nearly 6 feet
While I love the design, a small interior design oversight was the wood should've been white-washed with a gray stain instead to match the interior of the vehicle. Love the creative process and ingenious ideas implemented! 😎👍
"Bob's Your Uncle," 🤣 Those across the pond will be proud! Anyway.... The modularity of this conversion is what's uncommon in these builds. That's really smart forward thinking. I hope he is very comfortable and has many great adventures. Stealth is Wealth!
Your Jackery unit is going to overheat Stuck inside that box. You can’t block the airflow on its side. It’s going to fail on you a lot sooner installing it inside that box
I have to agree about the possible overheating concerns. I'd suggest some design of cutouts on each side of the Jackery with louvered venting or screen covers. With as innovative as you two are, I'm sure you'll come up with a great solution.
It’s a sweet build, Just trying to save him a powerless night down the road and possibly having to purchase another unit. That would suck. I just know in my experience anything with with a fan and louvers needs to be vented. Whether it’s a fridge , Power supply, even a hairdryer.
It really depends on what he's using it for. It won't get very hot at all charging with that panel. And if he's rarely drawing 100w from it for more than 30 seconds, heat won't be an issue.
That is awesome! We have an FJ and thought about doing something similar, for now we are using a pop up camper but are looking at the idea of a skoolie down the road
Fun video. There are easier ways to get a nice complex profile (profile gauge, which are cheap). Be nice to see you using safety equipment if you are going public with do-it-yourself videos!
I probably would've put the kitchen etc on the other side to prevent spatter getting all over the door when cooking... Pretty impressive but... Looks the goods. Enjoy Luke
Really real build with a lot of plus features in a small space. The only suggestion would be a slide out for his cooler. They get heavy after loaded with food & ice.
Awesome build! Luke has great vision! He could definitely do this for a living. If Toyota were smart they would snag him to do a design for them. The only thing I see missing is possibly another paracord to hold the books in place so they won't spill out. You guys work so well together. Wish you both nothing but the best!
@@navigationnowhere Awesome. I really like that Luke created his build around his experiences. That's what I plan to do in my shuttle bus build. Going to put in the infrastructure and then go camp for a week to see what I use and then build to that.
Great build, the ONLY think I think I would have done different is some weight distribution. It's going to really be leaning towards the drivers side with all of the weight on one side when it's loaded.
OMG!!! That is such an amazing buildout for Luke’s rig!! The design is perfect and layout is perfect! I always love seeing the “floor plan” of builds like this and it always makes my jaw drop. Super beautiful build and super amazing friends. Much love to y’all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
As someone living in a Land Rover, I have to ask about plans for ventilation while he's in there sleeping. I've been using "stretchy nylon window sock thingies" (I believe that that is the technical term for them) on the nights that I sleep inside the truck. (travel days) They are an OK fix. But ,since you guys are the thinkers and innovators, I would love to know what your solution will be.
I know this is a couple years out, but i would have used tinfoil and/or cardboard for the template in the future. It will be faster than measuring every nook and cranny.
Love the FJ, good video with tips/tricks to consider for my own project. All for a 4x4 RV for offroad and winter camping like MAV in a simple pickup (maybe a Tahoe/Suburban).
![Oasis - Oasis Live '25 [Official Trailer]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/gol_JnuEtKM/mqdefault.jpg)
I would recommend drilling vent holes for the Jackery. Nice set up
The ingenuity that went into this build is just amazing. Beautiful results.
WOW!!! What an amazing build, Glad to see the young grasshopper learning from the old masters :)
Wow this is heartwarming. We love Luke as your BFF and now you are doing something really special for him in return! 👏🏻 👏🏾 👏🏼
That was both a very interesting and inspiring video. Interesting to watch the absolute maximum efficiency being made out of a small space. Inspiring to watch individuals in their 20's, 30's, and 50's all working together towards a common goal.
The "pull out game" is strong!👍🏽
Amazing. I'm 74 and would love to do something similar to my 2007 Nissan Xterra SUV! It would also need space for a standard poodle! What a creative team you are.
Luc, amazing design and execution. I like your choice to stain rather than to paint. Congrats on your new home. Happy and safe travels.
Nicely done, but you need to secure your books and the Jackery. The latter need ventilation too. Good luck!
Rare to find a build that's spacious, efficient, AND beautiful. Congratulations on the wonderful build!
FYI, when you buy your sheeting, just stain it as a 4 x 8 sheet that way when you get done and you’re ready to finish your final product are you have to do is touch up staining
Thats a really good idea. I'll have to try that next time.
Plus it has more time to dry and stop off gassing. All that fresh stain in a tiny space might hurt his breathing. 🥺
Would you happen to have the plans for this build? I think it’s perfect and would like to build this in my FJ. Perhaps a “floor plan” on a different website?
That Jackery 1000 is the best $400 bucks I ever spent
Not only an awesome design & build, but a great job of showing the build as you progressed through it.
Nice job! Nice to have teamwork and tools:)

Nice!! My dog and I are headed out camping today in my GMC Yukon.
That’s awesome! Camp in what you got

wow that is one cool setup wow very neat congrats Luke 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🛠️👍👍👍
Now we need to rebuild your tool carrier.
nope it works just fine lol 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️👍👍👍

That is the fun part about these custom rigs. They are custom to the person living in them. The vehicle represents the person.
Impressive build, guys. Can we see how Luke is gonna fit on that sleeping platform? The FJ doesn't have much length back there without all that extra stuff you placed in there. I'm 5'10" and can't lie down straight in the back of an empty FJ.
Luc, you and your friends have really laid it out well, it is fantastic and so functional - safe travels.
Great concept, construction, woodwork, build & use of space ! Thanks for sharing 😃
I want to see how the sleeping set up looks with him in it. Pretty neat but I was wondering how he could fit. Does he fold forward the front seat entirely or how does this work? On camera the length looked relatively small. Or maybe it’s just me anxious and itching being nearly 6 feet
Really close layout to what I have in mind for my Commander 👍
Super fantastic Luke, may your travels be all you hope for and more !
Great job guys. I am sure Luke will enjoy his new home while he is on the road.
Each build you do is,GREAT!!!!!! You have the best ideas.
Thanks.
Ugh now I want an FJ....and a mini schoolie...and a big Schoolie!!! Gahhhh lol great job Mike Luke and of course Dale!
yes, i do agree Luke did a great job on the build I wish him luck on his journey
Im buying a 99 suburban and this is inspiring me. I only have a little time to move out of my place and rent is too expensive.

@@theshadow7205 For sure. I know my Inergy Apex needs ventilation on both sides.
It really depends on what he's using it for. It won't get very hot at all charging with that panel. And if he's rarely drawing 100w from it for more than 30 seconds, heat won't be an issue.
Amazing just the basic stuff and can still give stuff away and you have some good mates there as well. Go well 🙏🏼
awesome work guys and im glad luc got his camper to
That is awesome! We have an FJ and thought about doing something similar, for now we are using a pop up camper but are looking at the idea of a skoolie down the road
It came out amazing. Love all the finishing touches. Hard to believe how much room is in it. Love the Hudson Bay blanket, they are awesome.
Man I love this build. Such great use of space and excellent functionality. Y'all killed it!
Great video..I enjoyed watching the whole process..😃
Man I have an FJ and would’ve bet it was way too small to do anything like this with... now I’m rethinking life 🤔
Have an FJ Too and would love to do this to mine. Avid camper. Wonder if I could offer him $ to do mine??? This is great!
Very cool, congrats Luke on your new home. Love watching you guys get crafty.
It was a fun build out. Gets me excited to get back to the bus build.
Wow. Can’t believe all of this in an FJ. SICK!!🙌🏽🙌🏽

Thanks, we added all our mounting straps in the closet the next day. Didn’t make the film. Haha. I’ll be putting out a full finished tour soon.
@@navigationnowhere Awesome. I really like that Luke created his build around his experiences. That's what I plan to do in my shuttle bus build. Going to put in the infrastructure and then go camp for a week to see what I use and then build to that.
That’s the best way to do it. Figure it out first before you have to rebuild and spend money.
I also live fulltime in my FJ Cruiser
Well done, I never knew there was so much room in an FJ.
I know. I was surprised as well once we started measuring and gutting it out.
This build is amazing
Awesome OverLoading Build
Great job on the rebuild, Luc. Thanks for sharing, and enjoy.
You guys are geniuses! How did you know I had an Uncle Bob?!! Mental telepathy obviously. Nice build!
Bob was over last week. Tell him hi haha
Awesome suv build conversion!
Thanks!
the cooler is need to be moved out for each use? it should be next to the side door, use drawers for closets on where the cooler was.
Great build, the ONLY think I think I would have done different is some weight distribution. It's going to really be leaning towards the drivers side with all of the weight on one side when it's loaded.
The weight because of the storage space and size of the build is nominal but definitely something to think about. Thanks.
OMG!!! That is such an amazing buildout for Luke’s rig!! The design is perfect and layout is perfect! I always love seeing the “floor plan” of builds like this and it always makes my jaw drop. Super beautiful build and super amazing friends. Much love to y’all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Glad he will get to enjoy it for years to come.
Navigation Nowhere definitely! All the building was super sturdy and sound. Y’all did an amazing job!!
You guys did an awesome job on that.
I was thinking the same thing about the jackery vent holes.
Came out really nice. Enjoy 👍 like the jackery1000
Thanks, It was awesome we were able to get one installed in Luc's rig.
Great job boys!
Thanks ! It was a fun build
Absolutely amazing
The only things I'd add... A lip, bungee, net or door on the front of the bookshelf, to keep books from falling out. Ventilation for the Jackery.
As someone living in a Land Rover, I have to ask about plans for ventilation while he's in there sleeping. I've been using "stretchy nylon window sock thingies" (I believe that that is the technical term for them) on the nights that I sleep inside the truck. (travel days) They are an OK fix.

Great build
I know this is a couple years out, but i would have used tinfoil and/or cardboard for the template in the future. It will be faster than measuring every nook and cranny.
I'd like to see more of the final build.
Amazing build!
***..Génial .. de toute beauté .. thanks A LOT for sharing your knowledge .. God Bless you guys./ Much love from Québec ***
Oohhhh. Just thought…. A picture of some sort done with a wood burner would be sick!
Some good engineering going on in this video... great build. Happy trails Luke.
This is a masterpiece of tetrocity! Looks great and really functional.
Looks pretty good. the pull out with cutting board and stove looks weak and bouncy. Stronger slides would be better.
You guys are just awesome! I love watching how you build and what you build!! And I am a grandma!!😂
I'd add an access Port/hole into the jackery's flashlight & power button. It would be good light into the bed area. Great job!
That’s a good idea. Thanks for that one.
Impressive + cozy. Good job 👍😎
Great build!!!
Very impressive guys. Job well done. Congratulations!
Awesome build..the best I’ve seen ever!
Great job guys, and a really good use of all that space! 👍🏻
Incredible design! Love it!
Awsome work, great job, sorry but would it be possible for you guys to share the measurements of the different wood panels?
Really cool job guys 😎👍
Thanks!
Nicely done
This is so cool and think it would be really cool to be able to take your home off road and really stay anywhere
Nice.. Refrig access from top? Need a ladder? No access inside? Need a awning canopy attached to door/roof
Love the FJ, good video with tips/tricks to consider for my own project. All for a 4x4 RV for offroad and winter camping like MAV in a simple pickup (maybe a Tahoe/Suburban).
This was amazing!!! U guys are good. Do u do this for other ppl vans as well?
Great little build. Got a bit of everything. Where would you park it, and what is the solution for air conditioning??
