The weight of the completed camper is 295 lbs, forgot to mention that! Happy adventuring and thanks for watching.

Wow man, I'm no overlander by any means but I do own a 2012 TRD sport 4x4 double cab in manual and this video held my attention through out the whole video, very very awesome what you've done to your truck, amazing 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽who knows.. Maybe one day I'll take the overlander route and just build my own and travel the country, who needs a house or apartment 😂😂awesome work taco brother 👍🏽👍🏽

VERY impressive camper build! And WOW I didn't realize the ridiculous markup on those type of campers. Thanks for sharing!

Now that's the ultimate boss of rooftop tents setups. Splendid job!

So cool! Excellent job on the fabrication, love all the modifications you did!

Amazing work! It is so good you made the information available for free. I wish more people stop using social media to brag about their stuff and start sharing useful information as you do. God bless you!

BRO !!!! You did it !!! You made this video I recommended/asked for. Thank you man, this is awesome. Great job.

dude this is incredible! Thank you so much for making all of this public, you are doing this community a priceless service! Amazing work and thank you!

Cool set up! I was gonna get an old work rack with a regular rooftop tent and modify it to get something similar but this from scratch seams much better and probably a lot lighter!! Thank you for making plans available awesome stuff.

Dude, you killed it with this! Nice work and thank you for sharing!

This is the most brilliant Design so far on the market I reckon. Nicely done

Awesome job! I plan on hitting the road full time next year, after the kids graduate high school and this is by far the best set up I have seen yet. Thanks for the video!!

This is really a great build/design. Thanks for posting!

R.E.S.P.E.C.T! You really impress. Thanks again for the videos.... keep 'em coming please. Happy camping and safe travels.

That is an awesome build! I'm currently finishing up my overland build on a Ford Expedition. I'll be full-timing it on the trails so a clever rooftop tent design was key. I just wasn't happy with what's available with the wedge tents, so I also designed my own. I haven't executed the build yet, and it will be Summer 2021 before I get to build it. In the meantime, I have a sleeping platform in the rear passenger/cargo area with a slide-out kitchen that I built myself. I am finally ready to start editing the entire build footage and will start getting some videos out in the near future. I transformed my "grocery getter" into a very capable overlanding rig.

Absolutely amazing job, dude. You're an inspiration, and you're also a great designer and speaker. Fantastic explanation of your thought process.

I have been in the process of shopping parts for a similar type of build for an f150. Even though this isn't plug and play for my vehicle, the fact that you made everything readily available is amazing. Open source is the way forward. Cheers

Best build so far. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome pop up tent man!! One of the better builds for sure! Thanks for the vid! 👍👍👍

Fantastic build execution. Looks as good as any commercially available product out there, and sharing the build info probably has a few manufactures a bit anxious. Well done.

This is fantastic. So generous to share all of your plans and BOM.

I am building a similar camper. Totally inspired by yours. Just bought an 09 trd sport (also green). My plan is to do full thin wall steel frame including the tent frame. Can those latches be opened and closed from the inside, and are they locked from the outside when you close them from the inside?

Love it...love the accessibility and looks good!

Wow, You did such an awesome job on this!

WOW!!! This is Pro level! Great job!

If there is a couple of things I admire about people, it is that they are unafraid to tackle what can seem intimidating projects and also for sharing their hard work and innovation. I haven't read the comments btl, but no doubt someone has suggested manufacturing, marketing and selling this design yourself..? So I won't bother, lol. What you have achieved is truly remarkable. For less than half the price of stock products and self-built in a fifth of the time. And of course, the satisfaction of having made this yourself. Bravo mate, bravo ! (subbed based on your humility, informative without patronising approach and selflessness sharing your extremely hard work for free)

Killer design, I love the balance of thrift and style and hardcore engineering. I hope to extend this build style into a four wheel camper clone using 80/20. This video is great inspiration. I’m a big fan of the idea that if you have built it, you’re in a good position to maintain it long term. It’s great to not be at the mercy of a manufacturer.

Great video! Excellent narration! I have watched your other videos using camper and what makes it so cool is how you customized it to what you wanted. Plus you gained the added knowledge of being able to fix it yourself if something breaks because you built it! Your video is an excellent walk through on how and why you made certain modifications. Can't ask for anything else! Thanks for sharing and taking the time to make and edit the video! Rick From Virginia

This is amazing. Fantastic job!

You have singlehandedly, by designing and constructing your own custom camper which meets or exceeds the standards of commercially manufactured units, laid bare the exorbitant overpricing of these types of campers! By any metric yours is a meticulously precise and superbly detailed camper constructed to a very high standard using quality materials. Your camper has the appearance of being a very high end camper from a custom designer and fabricator - Which is exactly what it is! By designing and fabricating your camper and making available the necessary technical information to enable others to construct their own without spending excessive amounts to source the correct materials, you have made a huge contribution to the Make Your Own Gear (MYOG) knowledge base! Innovators like you inspire others to try to do things for themselves which they'd previously considered to be beyond their abilities! Not only will they build themselves a superb custom camper, they'll also develop the knowledge, confidence and pride at having hugely expanded their capabilities to carry out future projects which they'd never before considered possible! And in doing so they'll save themselves and their families considerable amounts of money! Thank you for your immense contribution to truck camper ownership.

That is so good. Great work.

When i was your age I also had a old landrover series 3 which I did a lot of camping in and made a shower that used a compressor and I thought you would like. All I did was make a steel tank with a filler hole and plug and a quick release air adaptor to it and a quick release outlet for the shower. All you need to do is clip a shower set up to the side of your truck and clip it onto the tank. Clip on the air hose and make a small fire around the tank. It heats the water and is pressurized by the compressor. You have a shower like you are at home. It depends on you how much water it holds and you can fill it from a river or from water you bring with you. I Enjoy your videos and keep it up. Well done.
