@@JodeneMorales sleeping in the seats was too difficult for me. Hope it works well enough for you.

The cab has everything I need and I use the truck bed space for hauling building supplies often.

@@SamuelM5608 that is awesome. I’m on 2.5 years. Yes I later removed the rear seating entirely and posted videos. I also later made some rather nice shelving (not shown) and added small battery generator (not shown). Paid my land off in 1.5 years. Debt free. If I didn’t drive so much I’d possibly get myself a full size truck but this works well for now. Love this Tacoma. Maybe someday all of us Truck nomads can meet up. Thanks for sharing.

The cab of the truck has everything I need for the time being. I also need the bed space for hauling building supplies.

Lol thanks!

That is true. The curtains would be far more affordable too.

@@ArcadianOutpost yes u dont want to mess with your vision looking forward.

@@Alaric-u9i Thank you. I appreciate that.

I don’t have the dimensions but I got my dimensions using a large piece of cardboard, razor blade, and pencil. Then jigsaw with a scroll cutting blade and 100 grit sand paper to smooth the corners. It did take multiple trips to the truck to fit and shave down sections where it rubbed against the interior. All said and done it only took me 30 mins to make with tools and supplies ready. Hope this helps.

@@lemonte9807 the light stays on when you disconnect the seat. Annoying at first but got used to it. I’ve never look into turning it off.

I’ve done it all. This works for my current situation.

@@jasonbutcher6246 Glad I could help. Best of luck.

Really not sure, but I think it would have to be a full size truck and not a smaller one like the Tacoma, frontier, or ranger.

@@ArcadianOutpost thanks, that makes sense. I'm sure model year is also a factor, I have a 2001 Camry which is just a little runt compared to newer Camrys. I lose track of it in parking lots when current sub-compact sedans block it from view.

Great question. I go over this in my hygiene video too. A few different ways. I built an outdoor gravity shower on my property. I also have a 24 hr gym membership that has showers. If my work has showers then I’d shower there too. Keep baby wipes around for those random days the gym is unexpectedly closed. On my property I’ve even showered with a jug of water and a battery garden sprayer. Before anything was built. Get creative but stay clean. I’ve never used a truck stop and used a hotel maybe 3 times in two years. Thank you for the feedback and hope this helps.

That’s awesome. Best of luck to you and hope it works out if you do pursue this. I’m still in mine and have made many improvements over the months.

Not sure. Was actually just talking to someone about that exact idea. Would be an incredible modification. Put in a door that leads into a built in camper. I can imagine it would be close to the same. Some sort of gasket between them to compensate for torsional strain between the bed and cab. Do record it if you pursue this.

Yes, I later removed them. See my other videos. Also, consider reading the comments in this video. Lots of good ideas and suggestions from others people. Good luck with your build.

Glad to hear the video helped. Best of luck. I later removed all seat components. See my other videos. It opens the whole truck up.

@@ArcadianOutpost that’s awesome man I shouldn’t have bought this thing is expensive, but yeah I’m gonna watch all the vids to learn thank you again!

That is awesome. Best of luck if you do it. Summer gets tough at times but I just use the vehicle for sleeping. Don’t hang out in it when you don’t have to. Stay active and enjoy the outdoors. I also bought some USB powered fans and a battery generator.

Thank you very much my friend!

Thanks friend, I appreciate it.

Awesome, best of luck. You’ll have way more room than me. I don’t have a solution for an AC. I don’t like spending time in the truck unless it’s bad weather. Really just a place to sleep and get out of the elements if needed. The main thing I do is maximize air flow. I purchased a few different USB powered fans on Amazon and working on a device that circulates air with the windows only slightly open. I purchased a small battery generator to power them all night. Hope this gets you started. My goal in all this was to keep costs and maintenance low.

Cool. I'm sure there is plenty of room in a full size pickup.

Might be a bit too tall. I have measured it out before. To the end of the foot well, it is about 6ft 4 inches. However, you have to slope the platform slightly downward, and once the bedding goes on top, you will lose clearance for your feet. My guess is that your feet will still touch the bottom of the dashboard at that height.

Thank you. I accepted sleeping on the back seat until I had this “light bulb moment.” Sometimes we have to suffer a little to achieve the mental or physical breakthroughs. I hope it all works out for you. If you need help with the build, shoot me an email found in the about section. If you’re not far, I can help build the initial setup. Best of luck.

Yes, unfortunately they do. I got used to it. There may be a way to delete the code but not sure.

@@ArcadianOutpost okay cool, I know you said you’ve run it this way for awhile, Orr doesn’t mess with the onboard computer or anything due to the disconnect? Looking to do this on my hunting trips.

@@alexalvarez9462 Cool. I’m no mechanic, but so far no issues my way, and no one has informed me of any issues on theirs after seat removal.

@@ArcadianOutpost cool man, that’s gonna be a game changer!!

I asked a dealer if it disables the entire airbag system and they said they weren't sure (2021 Tacoma). Stopped me from removing my seat. Might look into it..

I’m doing well thank you. Hope all is well your way.

Awesome. Just go for it, you won’t regret it. My email is in the about section of my channel. Let me know if I can help.

I’ve since made many more mods since my first video and need to make a new video. However, I’m not exactly the typical UA-camr and don’t really post DIY videos as of yet, but if you are ever in southeast US, reach out to me via email (as noted in your other comment) and I’d be happy to help you build something and teach you how. If you’re out to save money, don’t rush the build like everyone seems to do on UA-cam. A simple bed with extra layers, and a place for 1 weeks clothing, and $1000 emergency fund in the bank is where I started. Don’t begin a UA-cam channel and think it will make money. I’ve not made a penny as of yet, but I work for a living. This is my way of life and love it. Best of luck.

Thank you, I think security for yourself and being discreet are important when living this way.

Awesome, best of luck. Reach out if you have any questions.

What truck do you have

@@prametrathva7323 Toyota Tacoma. I’ve got other videos on it.

Not a problem. Glad to hear it helped.

I make a giant ice box and sleep in it. Kidding. Short answer, less layers, ventilate vehicle at night and don’t sit in vehicle during the day. Second short answer, it’s been a work in progress even after 2 hot summers. Will deserve a video at someday because I’m working on a unique projects for this.

Those recently went on sale near me for next to nothing. I just don’t have the room for them in storage. Also, consider asking the builders from construction companies for any spare supplies. Some of them hoard the supplies but others throw tons of it out or liquidate it for cheap.

@@ArcadianOutpost Costs me $50 for it here on the west coast. Last winter the floor of the cab was very cold so I'll put the board on it, and glue on some thin carpeting.

Thank you! It’s not easy explaining this to people, so I appreciate the feedback.

Thank you. Been very distracted/busy with work and life, but things are going well here.

Glad it helped! How does your battery bank work? I didn’t find mine to be sufficient enough to keep the blanket warm. Might try a small heating pad underneath me. For inside a vehicle, an inflatable pad that’s a minimum 3 inches thick is likely sufficient. I’ve seen a lot of videos of people aiming for 4 inches thick. In the Tacoma I can’t go much wider than 22 inches. Hard to provide a specific pad, as some brands changed their quality/pricing over the years. Many “underdog” companies at that time that have risen up with cheaper and good quality products, but I haven’t tested them. Focus on the principles and remember, you can always remove layers so I always bring more starting off. If you’re camping outside a vehicle, feel free to email me. Much more detail needed there. Lol

Thanks!

That is awesome to hear. Hope it works out. Remember, no need to run vehicle. Lofty blankets will be your best friend in the winter. No need to buy fancy upgrades or things to live in it. Get creative. I wear a big winter hat and pull it over my eyes and heavy wool socks. Use foam ear plugs if it gets too noisy outside. Crack maybe 2 or 3 windows to reduce condensation inside instead of all 4 like in the summer. When you wake up, use anything long enough push brake pedal and press start engine button to warm up vehicle. Lol. Too easy. I’ve been way behind on videos, but I’ve made a couple major upgrades to the truck I’d like to show someday. Work has me distracted at the moment.
