Nicely done! That combination of aluminum and lightweight wood paneling is great. Seems nice and sturdy and also isn't super heavy. I was thinking of doing an all wood build in the back of my truck but you have me rethinking my build. 👍👍
I LOVE your build Out! Starting to plan something along these lines for a gen 3 Tacoma 6' bed with a popup camper shell. Can you tell me if you cut your pieces of 80/20 yourself, or provided measurements and had them cut for you. Also what did you use to attach the insulation to the sides and front of the truck bed. Do you feel that area wise that provides you with enough extra insulation as opposed to also covering up the wheel wells? TIA for your expertise !
I ordered everything to size from tnutz. Gave them the measurements. The 1” home insulation is good enough for a house it’s good enough for my truck bed. The insulation I didn’t attach it was a firm fit and it held in by itself. It’s covered with the cabinets now so that also holds it in.
i currently have custom slide our drawers in my truck bed, so it's nice I just open tailgate and pull out sliders and have access to camp kitchen on one side and storage/tools on the other side. i'm considering getting a wedge camper but this kind of set-up you have here does make me a little nervous that it'd be kind of inconvenient to get things as it seems you'd have to crawl in there to access what you need, ie. fridge/etc. for example if you just need to stop for lunch on the trail, are you opening the camper wedge 100% so you can actually stand in there?
I had a similar setup before with slide out drawer. Opening it up to stand in there. I hang out in there when weather is bad that is the advantage. I use the storage cabinets to put my plastic storage pins and everything is accessible. Tell Topo Toppers I sent ya if you decide to go with them. 😎
Great work! I’ve been looking for a YT vid. Showing insulation and aluminum extrusion. I’m wanting to build a pull out drawer system. Your build has inspired me! 🙌🏼
Cool build and great video! How has the 1/8" birch held up to use in the slots of the aluminum? I'm planning to do the same thing but had concerns that it was a little flimsy and might fall out if accidentally kicked. Going back and forth between that or using panel retainer brackets to securely attach 1/4" birch.
It’s been holding up great no issues. I do wish that I painted the wood instead of putting the paper on it but it is what it is. The world is thick enough and doesn’t fall out. If you get the size right I haven’t had any issues with my panels falling out not even the sliding panel.
@@jonnytacooutdoors Sweet set-up looking to do something similar when I get my Ovrlnd camper in a few months. I'm curious why you used the faux wood wrap. Was there a down side to just staining the birch or clear coating it?
Curious as to how likely 10 series is to bend. I built my drawers using wood with some really heavy duty drawer slides but right now the whole thing is coming in at hundreds and hundreds of pounds. I’d like to start reworking things using aluminum, but I also don’t want it to end up bending…
Hey man! This is amazing! I have a GFC I’d love to do this with. How did you account for the clamps on the topper that is the bed rails to secure the topper to the bed? I assume this protrude out a fair bit no?
With everything going on I didn’t even think about checking out your rig more. That looks like it turned out really good! I’m not sure I want to do a build out or not. I like the illusion of having my entire truck bed. Can you use the cabinet as a step to get up in the bed part of the topo?
I have questions. So from bottom to top.... 1/2 inch insulation (on the truck bed), on top of that 1/2 inch plywood. Does the insulation get dented by the ridges of the bed? Or is it firm enough to stay flat? Then... did you only use 4 of the truck bed bolts to secure the whole thing? Did you put washers under the gaps?
Looks awesome! Im about to do this to my taco and have most the parts but definitely gonna do some hinges like yours so thanks for that! How did you connect the 80/20 to the bed rail?
Thanks! I used these along with some tacoma bed rail nuts and bolts purchased off Amazon. Drill holes in these and slide the nuts through with a washer. www.amazon.com/Senfei-Security-Bracket-Connector-Channel/dp/B08QN4G6GX?crid=S79MRLDO46QT&keywords=senfei+heavy+duty+bar+holder+shaped+connector&qid=1678746422&sprefix=senfei+heavy+duty+bar+holder+shaped+connecto,aps,165&sr=8-2&linkCode=sl1&tag=jonnytaco-20&linkId=2405053fe4c1247bcc5bbdc17dd42870&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl If you have instagram reach out and I’ll send a picture . I used four bolts on each side. The bolts heads were hard to get to so I actually had to grind down a wrench to fit in there and SLOWLY tighten them down. Hope this help.
I have several questions, do you have a blog? Why did you bolt through the platform (I am assuming for securing the load) and who did you purchase your 80/20 from?
I don’t have a blog. I bolted through the platform to secure it to the truck bed. I put a link in the description to where I purchased everything including the 80/20. Thanks for watching. Good luck with your build.
Which wood? The panels I cut them to fit inside the grooves of the aluminum. The cabinet tops I used hinges. The countertop I used thick wood screws and 90 degree brackets. Hope this helps.
Your video has motivated to finally just fully commit to the camper build. Im curious if you could share the dimensions you ordered from t-nutz? Thank you in advance. Your build is 🤌🏼

You should make a Build Out playlist. Would be cool to have a playlist from start to finish!
Let me see if I can do that!
Would 1/4” wood fit into the slots by any chance?
@@myronhensel not sure. You could give TNUTZ a call or email and ask for dimensions.
Nicely done! That combination of aluminum and lightweight wood paneling is great. Seems nice and sturdy and also isn't super heavy. I was thinking of doing an all wood build in the back of my truck but you have me rethinking my build. 👍👍
I had all wood before! This is definitely lighter. Hope you got something out of this video.💪🏼
This was really cool!
Thanks for watching. It’s a great setup.!
How did you attach the wood panels to the 8020?
I cut them out to slide into the grooves
Can’t wait for the next video!
Thanks! I’ll be showing the kitchen sink and built in stove install 😱
love your work. How did you attach the frame to the floor?
Drilled holes and used the existing Oem bolts in the bed.
what fasteners are those? do you have 80/20 partn number?
Check out the video description
Did you use a 4x8 sheet of plywood? It doesn’t fully cover the sides of bed toward the rear does it?
@@kodimcpherson1354 it was larger. If you are in so cal send me an email I will give you the guys phone number . He delivers
@@jonnytacooutdoorsthank you for responding. Iam in socal, pacific beach. I’d like his contact info thank you!
Where did you fine plywood wider then 4 feet for the floor?
A guy on OfferUp. Are you in So Cal? If you wanna send me an email and I’ll give you his phone number.
@@jonnytacooutdoors Thanks and yes I live in Huntington Beach. I will email you my cell #
We used 80/20 for our DIY roof rack, awesome stuff!
Wow that’s a great idea. I bet you saved lots of money too.
Curious what the measurements were for the build? As far as height, length, etc? Looks great!
Send me an email
Got my topo topper back in December and working on 80/20 cabinets as we speak! The build looks clean 👌🏼
Thanks man I’m happy with it. Which topper did you get?
I went with the Mesa for my Chevy Colorado. Super ready for the weather to start warming up here in Colorado to put it through its paces!
@@jamesmercer7052 right on! Yes this snow is crazy here in California everything is closed. They locked the gates 😆

@@karengreen5287 of course lmk when you have more questions. I asked Knox a bunch throughout the process. 🙏🏼😆
Looks dope man, solid work
Thanks so much
Good work, bro! Came along nicely
Thanks so much
Looking good brother!!🤙🏽
Thanks man
Excellent Idea to Conception on the Truck Bed Cabinets...... I am looking to imitate you build Sir. Matthew from California
Right on! They’re great cabinets. Feel free to reach out when/if you have any questions.
Did you have to tap the ends of the extrusion holes for the corner cube hardware?
No, When you order from TNUTZ you select the thread you want and it comes pre tapped.
@@jonnytacooutdoors so I have to buy cut to length then to make it easier?
Looks great!
Thanks
Fabulous!! 👏👏👏

What an awesome interior build, I just ordered a GFC V2 Pro and I just found how i’m going to build my truck bed! Do you have a 6ft bed? Thanks!
Thanks. I have the 5ft bed.
@@jonnytacooutdoors Are you happy with the space in the center walkway? I have a 5ft as well and am wonder about how people feel space wise!
@@Holynomad I am
What are the dimensions for the driver side? Looks awesome!
Hey Alex, Knox and I are working on getting those dimensions together. Stay tuned.
@@jonnytacooutdoors I appreciate it! I’m picking up my GFC In a couple months and this would be perfect for my setup
@@jonnytacooutdoors did you ever get those dimensions? Still looking to build something like this!
@@Alex_Bernabe Hopefuly he will let us know the dimensions soon or even selling the plans. Picking up my Bandlander Topo on Tuesday!
Bro looks amazing where did you buy your topo topper?
They are located in Ventura, California. Tell them JT sent ya.
Curious as to how likely 10 series is to bend. I built my drawers using wood with some really heavy duty drawer slides but right now the whole thing is coming in at hundreds and hundreds of pounds. I’d like to start reworking things using aluminum, but I also don’t want it to end up bending…
It’s very strong
Hey man! This is amazing! I have a GFC I’d love to do this with. How did you account for the clamps on the topper that is the bed rails to secure the topper to the bed? I assume this protrude out a fair bit no?
Thanks! just had to notch out the cabinet tops so they could swing up.
With everything going on I didn’t even think about checking out your rig more. That looks like it turned out really good! I’m not sure I want to do a build out or not. I like the illusion of having my entire truck bed. Can you use the cabinet as a step to get up in the bed part of the topo?
Sure can! I use the drivers side cabinet as a step.😎
Did you reuse the bed bolts or have to buy longer ones once the 1/2 plywood was laid down?
You can reuse the Oem bolts just be careful not to strip them out like I did on a couple. 😎 all fixed now.
I have questions. So from bottom to top.... 1/2 inch insulation (on the truck bed), on top of that 1/2 inch plywood. Does the insulation get dented by the ridges of the bed? Or is it firm enough to stay flat? Then... did you only use 4 of the truck bed bolts to secure the whole thing? Did you put washers under the gaps?
There’s six bed bolts, not sure on the insulation what it did. No washers were used.
Another question: Did you use the current bed bolts or did you replace them with longer bolts when you secured the bed platform?
The Oem bolts will work , I needed up stripping a couple of mine so I did end up replacing a couple of them. Be careful!
@@jonnytacooutdoors Thanks for the tip.
@@denahom you got it lmk if you have any questions along the way
Great job ive been looking for some ideas
Thanks
Nice work! Where did you source the plywood that was big enough to do the baseplate with one sheet?
A guy from offer up! He’s here near San Bernardino county. If you’re local Shoot me an email and I’ll send you his number.
@@jonnytacooutdoorsdid you treat the plywood at all? Worried about moisture down there at all, or do you think it wont be a problem?
Nice work!

how did you come up with the basic design/dimensions?
I didn’t
Do you have the dimensions for the driver side cabinet?? Looks fantastic.
Message me on Instagram or Facebook I’ll get that to you. ✌🏼
@@jonnytacooutdoors I would love to ge the dimensions too. I have a 5 foot Taco TRD

@@jonnytacooutdoors I just got a quote from a builder for $4,800. to build out my truck I think I’ll attempt it myself!
@@denahom yeah the aluminum only cost me $600 and total build out cost me around 12 to $1300. Fair warning it’s a lot of work but so worth it. 🤙🏼
How did you attach the wood to the aluminum? I am looking at doing something very similar in my Ranger.
Which wood? The panels I cut them to fit inside the grooves of the aluminum. The cabinet tops I used hinges. The countertop I used thick wood screws and 90 degree brackets. Hope this helps.

Awesome job! Is there an itemized list of materials? I don't want to kiss any pieces.
Thanks check the description
Good work.
Thanks
Hi. I do not like the existing extruded aluminum kit build companies designs. Limited for my needs. How do I order my own aluminum?
Link in the description
Agree they’re too expensive
I came here from the 8020 group on Facebook - do you make the area into a bed or not? If so how do you?
I have a topper on my truck , my bed is upstairs
Nice!
Thanks !
Is this 80/20 1 x1?
I left links in the description of the video for all the parts
@@jonnytacooutdoorsthanks but doesn’t look like 1x1 tho in your video. I ordered it, but the extrusion bar are so tiny
But can you sleep in it?
I have a truck camper. I sleep upstairs.
That “fox” stuff is actually faux which is the French word for fake and it is not pronounced like “fox”.
I’ve been told lol
Bad ass!
Yeah it’s awesome, 😎
Solid second home when the wife is mad and boots you out for a night or 2. 😂
💪🏼
this is heavier then 1x1 wood because 2020 aluminum is just barley less then wood.
That put the nail in the coffin!
@coffinsnail6930 This isn’t true at all. I hope you’re kidding. 😊
Sweet build! Just fyi it’s pronounced like “foe,” not fox lol
Really ?! 😁
Nice job…. Just a little help, it’s pronounced “foe” not “fox”
Someone’s commented that already but thanks😁 I hope you found the video helpful.
not to be "that" guy but its Faux (Foe) not "fox"
Someone else commented that haha
