Showing you the entire process start to finish of how I built my dream camper on my 2004 Tacoma TRD.
KZfaq taught me so much when I was building my camper, I wanted to give back by showing everyone exactly how I did it.
Thank you everyone who has come up and shared kind words with us about the camper it really means a lot.
If you want to see the build in more detail, you can check my Instagram story highlights, which have much more detail:
@ianazariah
If you would like to order a copy of Rolling Homes follow the link below. I highly recommend it if you are considering a DIY 4x4 overland camper build of your own.

Thanks again for watching and I will try and get back to as many questions in the comments as I can.

Hey not sure if you heard near the end there that the camper has been on the road for 2 years now, and that i used high tensile silicone to put them in place. So I think that its good to go as I done 120 in rain storms a number of time. but you are correct that if someone is not thinking things thru they could be in trouble... we on the other hand are fine.
