I built a flatbed for my 2001 Tacoma in my garage! This video is just the introduction into my reasoning on building it and quick overview of how it looks so far.
Future episodes will dive in to the creation, detail, frame, metals and weights and measurements. And of course the camper build!
This is easily the largest, most complex and more fun project I've taken on so far and its not even close to being finished! Pretty much every detail will change in some small way so keep that in mind when looking at the cases, paint, color ect.
Check out my website for DIY templates and parts! overlandunderbudget.com
Welder and plasma cutter i used for this build are the Forney 220mp welder and the Forney 40p plasma cutter.
Being part of the Pelican pro team is incredible and i designed the storage system around 2x 1510 roller cases and 2x 1700 long case.
Lots of details on my Instagram account at / overlandunderbudget

Such a great job and great idea for overlanding. Love the drawers and storage solutions. Your fabricating videos are so informative. It proves that you don't need a high dollar shop to do it in. Thanks for all the inspiration.

Ahh, the bite of the double cab strikes again. With my extra cab I have a full size bed and shell, I'm just under 6 ft so it works great for me and my girl. Any kids we have will fit for years to come so we'll worry about that then. I also haul dirt bikes, bucket loads of dirt, gravel, rocks, etc so really have to have the original bed for that. I wondered why you would move away from the great setup you had, but makes sense for you this way. I still want to reference your old build videos so please keep those up! Looking forward to seeing the rest of this new build.

@j.markkrzystofiak9907 3 года назад
Super well thought out arrangement. Impressive! In my experience those drawer slides don’t last long when exposed to dust and dirt. The ball bearings collect the grit and eat themselves up with the regular jiggle-wiggle of driving. That was experienced on fleet of shuttle busses with slide out battery trays. They lasted less than a year and the trays fell out of the rails. I’m sure the Mfg. Used cheap ones, but maybe consider having a catch rail below them in case this happens.

Consider adding a top slide out table to the rear slide out. Gives you tons of flat space for ‘kitchen’ or other items. Or perhaps under. Flat surfaces always at a premium

That is a nice Taco I am very impressed. I had a 95 single cab same color paint code might have been 404 brown. If it had been a quad cab like yours I would still have it but my height cost me more money but have a R/W Tundra. Great build keep it up also look into the spray on bed liner kit out now where you can do your whole truck it might be raptor paint or coating but you line your truck and eat branches.

Just came across your videos again and subscribed! We're also doing a build on a 2005 Ford F350 Dually. Expedition Overland Truck Camper flatbed. Everything is on our channel. We did a steel frame with 60 series aluminum 1/8 sides, with our top deck we did the 3/16ths and used the 1/4 × 20 x 1" flat head socket screws stainless. Using the all in one 1/4 drill, tap drill bit. Same thing for us we want to be able to take off our top deck while working on the build out. Love the side box idea with the cases and how they come out. I believe long term you'll be happy you did the full 6ft across! Have you figured out how you're attaching the camper to the frame yet? We have been considering the L Track tie down system. Going to look at a few of those suggested camper links. When you started talking about the plans and awning...I remembered that video. Well done. We can't wait to see more! ~ Mark & Teresa

Sweet! Aluminum is the next frontier for me. However for the flatbed frame I don’t think I would go aluminum. I want to use it for my camper!
@RevRodge
@RevRodge 3 года назад
@@OverlandUnderBudget Is that mostly out of concern for the vibration on the welds? Asking because I did have the intention of making it 100% out of aluminum. Weight is a massive concern for me, I will also be adding the Aussie style canopy boxes to the frame with a RTT mounted to the top of those. I’m running some Deaver heavy load springs, but I feel that steel would still make trails exceptionally difficult on the truck. It looks I can use 6 existing mount points to the frame without drilling a single hole. I understand that there will be some flex, I was just hoping to offset it with some beefy internal framing. I have mostly come up with and designed this from looking a products like the Norweld Ute trays, but without many other perspectives. So any insight you can lend is greatly appreciated.

I've got similar drawer slides for a tent that goes on my truck and I've had them fail on me going down a rough road but luckily I saw that ahead of time and built in a safety catch for when they did come loose.
