WALK AROUND of my home built flatbed camper on 1st gen Tacoma! 

When a single man outshines the biggest names in overlanding. Incredible build my friend.

this is the best overland set up ive watched so far

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.

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.

That is absolutely an outstanding build! What a great job. One of the best jobs Ive seen.

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.

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!

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.

That’s fantastic! Great to see a more detailed video, amazing work!

Top notch build. You can tell a lot of thought went into this

Amazing work. I have been checking RU-vid 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

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👍🏼

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!

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!

"You will not get any weather intrusion into your sleeping experience"? You are phenomenal, man. 😀

Gorgeous job! Glad to hear you are getting some recognition and, more importantly, getting out and enjoying the fruits of your labour!

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.

Glad your back your projects motivate me

Great Job, nice thought out, Practical, fun and innovative. Love what you have done 😊🚙🌟👍

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! 👏

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.

Very impressive! I can see the functionality of your design!

This is so cool. Compact, useful, and fun.

Wow, this is such an awesome build. Definitely looking forward to the build video. Want to make this! Great job!

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!

Slick as can be. Those Tacomas are awesome. Long may she run!

So awesome! And it didn’t cost a ton of money, functional affordable and light👍🏻👍🏻

That's a well thought out truck camper. Good job!!!

That’s a really well thought out setup ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love DIY builds, look forward to starting my day with this video! ~ Brian

" Simplicity is the highest form of sophistication." This build is proof if that statement

This is the coolest thing ever! Nice work. I’m super pumped to learn how you made that. Very inspiring!

Awesome build, truly amazing, thanks

Lol when you rolled out that second drawer with 2 more Pelicans 🤯🤩

Good job mate... I love the idea I love every single things but the color of that camper box

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.

Your exquisitely beautiful, meticulously designed and superbly crafted Travel Cabin is elegantly simple and simply elegant!

Loved this! Great job buddy!

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.

That's my fav color for Toyota trucks. Very cool camper

Amazing! I love your sweet set up!

That’s amazing. So impressed!!

Wow, well done! Awesome design and build….🤙🏾

Very well thought out build!

amazing love it !! DIY rocks !!!

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.

Awesome. I’m stuck with a tent in the bed for now lol. I’m loving it though

Great job, thanks for sharing !

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.

🔥 Beautiful rig!! New honey-do list to write ✍️ up now!!

This is amazing. Dang good work

Your truck is so gorgeous!!!!!!!

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! 🙌😊

Super sick!

Great job, very inspiring!

Fascinating!

Awesome setup.

Very cool setup.
