Watched this series of your videos...good build...was really nice to see you working with Your Dad. Enjoy your time with your Dad. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

You've inspire me! A couple years ago I had a 4 door Wrangler, since then, I've stopped pitching tents. Now I have an old Grand Cherokee that I sleep in. I'm slowly but surely converting it for overlanding. This concept is a great idea to fab up a fiberglass slide out on rails with a canvas bottom half. Thank you!

Brilliant. I wish Snugtop made a product for my camper shell. My Tundra is crewmax 5.5 Not enough to sleep in. But give me 1 more foot and I am perfect

You’ve done a great job. Great ideas. Making the most of the space.

Thanks Man! I've really enjoyed this new setup. It's working out well and I'm excited to make a few tweaks to get it 100% dialed in. How are things in Utah? Have you received any snow yet?

Colorado Backcountry Adventures you know there is no 100% dialed in right? Hahaha. Let’s shoot for 95%. Storm is moving in right now. Snow level dropping to 6500 tonight. Should wake up to snow capped peaks. Been working on my crazy new project. Wasn’t sure why I decided to do it but recent events have made me realize why I did! Really enjoying the podcast as well. I’m a podcast fiend. I prefer it to television.

You have some great ideas. Like most projects like this, it's an ongoing thing.

Enjoy watching your video,s - need to do a slide out for my little jeep,great idea. Thank,s.

Looks super cool!

Hey I’m a new subscriber, love the slide out will be looking to build one of my own

Good stuff!

Hey Brian, I would suggest giving fiberglass a go. Build a your framework out of 2"x 2" strips giving yourself the required sloping on the roof, and desired opening for the doorway. With fiberglass you have the option to make smooth rounded corners if you like, and can get it fully waterproof to boot. Also, you may even come out with a lighter unit overall. After you are done with all the fiberglass work, you can paint the exterior with bed liner to make it even more robust and absolutely for sure waterproof.

A second, emergency exit is just a good idea.

Hot glue or silicone works great for sealing the little holes in those cubbies. I used Hot glue and it keeps them dust free and completely dry!

Most definitely! I need to be more thorough when I do my updates and not cut any corners like I did with the top of the slide out extension. Hope you enjoy the video, have a great evening!

Really like your slide out camper idea. When does the final product go on sale?

Hey man do you live on the Front Range? There is an Overland Bound meetup in Golden end of March. Would be cool to meet you and see your rig!

Have you ever considered all aluminum Bed and Cabinet with Diesel heater

Loves these updates and they give me great ideas for my tacoma, I just drew out a drawer system for my third gen bed and I NEED to steal your hanging shelving idea lol

Hey Chad! I made a short video explaining how I made the overhead shelves. Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be happy to lend some advice. Cheers! kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z3WYuK1ugNK6mbg.html

Brilliant build! With the wider door opening, consider double doors with upgraded locking mechanisms. Also, an awning mounted off the back of the topper would help with water diversion and a act as a porch of sorts. Lastly. If you plan to progress to a 2.0 version I highly recommend using aluminum. Save on weight, gain space, more weather resistant, pop rivet or welded assembly, easy to modify a basic unit to fit ones needs. Tail gate extensions so the slid out length can be greater. First time viewer. Subscribed so I can catch up.

Hi Peterrabbit Roberts - I personally have an ARE topper but I've heard great things about Leer and other top brands. I might suggest going with a high-rise topper to give you a bit more head room. Good luck with your topper search and thanks for checking out my channel! - Brian

Just a thought on your pull out. Putting a one inch lip around the innermost section of the pullout (matched to the contour of the tailgate rails and topper) would allow for two things. First it would create a positive stop at all points not just the rails on the bottom. Two the mating points of the pullout could be lined with closed cell foam (like the link below) to seal out the elements at fairly low cost/effort ( 1x2 screwed around the edge of the pullout). Cut into strips this would also allow for a clamp seal between topper and bed to eliminate drafts. www.grainger.com/product/GRAINGER-APPROVED-Water-Resistant-Closed-Cell-5GDK0?cm_sp=Product_Details-_-Products_Based_on_Your_Search-_-IDPPLARECS&cm_vc=IDPPLARECS

Old post but a bigger door to slide a bike inside and a legit dead bolt for security. I'm building something close on a Frontier. I kick around Salida frequently. Be well!

Right on Chris, that's a great modification for carrying a bike. Salida is great, I like going through there in the Fall. Some great fishing up in the Collegiates. Have a good evening ~ Brian

Anyway I can get some photos of the inside so I can make one for my F150?? Thanks!!

The hasp is dangerous for sure I wouldn't have one at all.

Been following your build for awhile. Very awesome. What do you think would be a quick bed extender just for more legroom? I saw someone made a fold out metal rectangular prism that attached to the back window of the camper and the bottom was the tailgate. Want something non-permanent that can be taken down and minimal in size..

Are these changes in your pdf guide?

...lock on inside?...or did you cover that in comments?...

I eliminated all these problems, i got a truck with an 8 ft bed

Coffins are small and for dead people. This is spacious and has ventilation and room to cozy up next to your pup and have a nice evening not a dirt nap.
