you bring back memories, bought a e100 ford van in 1976, built my bed, had unit with sink, overhead cabinet, and icebox(coleman) behind the drivers seat, the top of the bed lifted up that is where the porta potti was, with a curtain that would go around it for privacy, on the other wall built a full wall of cabinets for storage, half of the door was taken up with a counter where I could put a stove. carpeted ceilings and floor. it was already insulated. it had an outlet inside and outside to plug a heater into or electric stove. had a few other things done to it.

Jonathan, that is great news thanks for the reply. If you make it to Yellowstone this summer maybe think about driving out the east gate to the Shoshone National forest and spend a night or 2 camping at Elk Fork Campground. I'll be the host and it has excellent fishing and hiking. You're invited!

Probably a good idea to fill that cut in your tailgate with some waterproof stuff. So it doesn’t rust.

Great new topper, I bought one for the 02 tundra I used to own from an older gentleman on Craigslist for $250…I couldn’t believe the condition it was in, it was a leer but almost identical to yours, it looked like brand new. Still to this day it’s the best deal I’ve ever made on CL.

Nice simple build. From the start, i already foresaw that u might cut the truck tailgate by using it as a cutting platform... just use anti rust stuff to cover it.

Fill the cut in your tailgate with a few layers of JB Weld. Smooth out the top layer with a squeegee and spray paint it.
@trustonlyline42062 жыл бұрын
Love it. You should glue then screw any items in the future. The screw acts as the clamp. The glue keeps things from squeaking too. You aren’t a real carpenter until your tailgate has a skillsaw cut in it. So you are officially a wood worker.

I've seen a cool setup with chains and mini turnbuckles. Chains attached to the front corner D rings in his tacoma bed, and to part of the main framework. Pulls the entire system forward and slightly down. Loosen the turnbuckles to remove the chain hooks and the entire system slides out of his truck bed in one piece. Pretty neat.

@debraroth47242 жыл бұрын
Great start on the build out! If things start to slide around while driving you can attach 1x2 firing strips to the bottom of an item and let them sit in the groove on the floor. Keeps things sliding left and right when driving. I would have set the bed box down into a groove to make sure it doesn’t slide too. I plan on adding a full floor sheet with carpet to my build in the future (including my tailgate) so its comfortable crawling in and out of the truck.

Hey Jonathan. Great video as always! To get your corners straight with each other I would recommend using 90 degree right angle clamps. They will hold the pieces of wood together for you while you drill which is also a plus apart from getting them perfectly angled with each other. I had sent this comment before with an Amazon link but I think KZfaq deleted it due to the embedded link. Keep up the great work! 🙂

Nice set up and good idea on adding the extra piece of plywood to have a flat surface to sit.Check out the Moonlander Campers- it’s basically a custom made camper shell for your truck ,heavy duty aluminum and extends beyond the width of your truck and it’s a high top topper with a loft ,I believe they are based in Colorado .

Great job young man. I have a Kodiak Canvas truck tent and have thought about setting up pretty much what you have done. At 64 years old, I like the minimalist approach. I cut a piece of plywood to fit the floor of my truck bed and have also cut the puzzle piece floor mats to go on top of that. I will be using a camping cot because although I wanted to build a bed as you did, the cot is just easier right now. Perhaps in the future. Thanks for sharing your build. Stay safe and God bless.
