I've been waiting so badly to see a proper cabinet style build. The first thing I thought when I saw full height cabinetry was.... you'd almost think this guy knew what he was doing... nailed it lol. I'm a finish carpenter and do a lot of custom built-ins, wouldn't claim to be a cabinet maker though lol. I also have a small Palomino slide in camper. So I always thought other peoples builds were missing out on so much. But you, Nailed it. Nice work!
Nice overland build on that Toyota tundra. I've been looking at those Four Wheels Campers and they look to be the right Camper for overlanding. I'm thinking I need one.
very well done. Looks good for weeks and months in the wild. Helps me figure out if the Project M or similar will work for me. I need my truck bed for utility purposes too. Your idea of slider cabinet doors is very smart - light and simple to build and does not intrude into the standing space. Though I am seeking way more seating and sleeping, with 6ft of cabinets only on the left. 8 foot bed 2010 Tundra. Maybe full length 8 foot x 6 foot L-sectional sofa, constructed in sections of foamboard framing so it is light and easy to get in/out. I am used to backpacking and kayak camping so I am not keen to carry all the heavy RV quantities of stuff. But I own a 3.6KWhr Ecoflow Pro & solar panel to act as the unit's power station for a fridge, induction cooktop, maybe an instant pot or small slow cooker.
I’m a former cabinet maker and I agree with the doors. Downside of doors - expensive, hard to keep in adjustment, time consuming, expensive hardware, and loss of storage space. Plus they are in a truck bouncing, twisting, flexing down the road. The same goes double for drawers. I go for plastic totes which can be slid out to load and clean, stack in garage and stack by season or event. Nice build. Colman stove 👍, use inside or out.
I am a cabinet maker so the "build" only cost me my time very little in materials maybe $400, as far as, solar and water I probably have about $1200 not including the fridge and camping accessories/gear
It has no low temp charging protection in the BMS, so when it gets cold I just disconnect the solar and run it. so far so good and as we approach winter I will see how it goes, I can add an RV tank heater directly to the battery to keep it above 45 degrees if and when I find it necessary.
I have a 12' hose that runs around the front bed wall and connects to a wye that runs the water heater and the camp stove, also extends to attach to the BBQ. With that line I also have power for the water pump .
I built the camper out this way to take my daughter on a 6 week cross country trip. The trip was awesome and she LOVED it!! It was soooo cool to save thousands of dollars on hotel stays and other fees associated with long trips.
You have a tailgate and a door over the tailgate. If you need to egress, the best way to egress is usually the same way you get in/out every day. Also, the sides are canvas, if you really need to get out (if not using the tailgate) just grab a knife and cut your way out. No one will be in the camper while the truck is moving, so that rules out auto accidents jamming the tailgate exit.
Basically because of evolution. After going on multiple trips with Vas and the crew, the M was just too big and heavy to wheel on those trails. It was perfect for fire roads and similar but as soon as we start hitting rocky trails its not nearly nimble enough to fit.
By far the best project M build have seen yet!!
Thank you!!

Thank you so much!!
What an amazing setup!!! I think he could go full time just selling this setup!
I agree.
This looks like a great build. Nicely done! Thank you for sharing it.
Impressive build! So functional and creatively done. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
Best build I've seen. Nice work, James!
That is a brilliant build! I love the ability to move from a work truck to a play rig the way he's done it. Great job!
Thank you!!
The level of attention to detail here is fantastic!
Real nice job man.
Great setup your daughter is lucky to have a good Daddy like you
Rad setup. Nice work!
Should sell those cabinets, the pop off doors are genius!
Thank you!!
Nice build. Very well thought out. Contemplating something similar. I have an older 2500HD with an 8’ bed.
Nice overland build on that Toyota tundra. I've been looking at those Four Wheels Campers and they look to be the right Camper for overlanding. I'm thinking I need one.
For a Angry Camper that’s some really well designed/made cabinets to make any camper Happy Really liked the magnet door locks
Really epic. Greetings from a dude in rural Japan, taking notes for one (or maybe two) camper builds.
If I ever got one I would want this setup. Looks great.
Love the Angry Camper name, very fitting!!! We will have to go on a camping trip next time you are out in Reno.
Hey you guys!!!

Still love this setup... Masterfully done.
Thank you!!
Nice, I used to build them in woodland.
Thanks Vas for taking the time to do this walk through, I really appreciate you taking the time for this !!!
My pleasure!
Nice setup
Super nice build inside! Have lots of fun!
Nice build, thank you.
That is awesome build.
Do you do builds for others?
Wow
Great video.
Does the topper raffle when it's windy?
Safe travels. Thank you for sharing.
I would definitely build for others, let me know if you are interested and thanks for the awesome compliment. The topper does make noise in the wind.
@@TheAngryCamper thank you. I'm in the research process on what rig I want to go with. If I chose to go this way I definitely will reach out.
Great build. Very cool.
Sweet build out.
Thank you!!
Good build
great build! one of the top builds i've seen for project M's. I am debating between aluminum extrusions or using wood since wood is much cheaper.
Very nice build you did a great job! I'm going to do something similar to my truck in the future, you definitely gave me some good ideas. God Bless
Thank you!!

Colman stove 👍, use inside or out.
Take my money bro
Beautiful! How much did the build cost? Thank you!
I am a cabinet maker so the "build" only cost me my time very little in materials maybe $400, as far as, solar and water I probably have about $1200 not including the fridge and camping accessories/gear
do u need anything between the battery and the 12v freezer? nice, keep it coming
I think this is way better than a aussi touring camper
Nope, the fridge plugs right in!!
The guy looks like he’s 6 foot plus but standing next to his truck and camper he looks like a little person munchkin, awesome build btw
I am 6 foot :) Camper is 10 ft when it is popped up, it gives me 6' 10" of height on the inside, so it doesn't even begin to feel cramped.
I love it, thinking about getting one for my Gladiator. I heard that you need E rated tires for this, do you know if that is true?
Depends upon how much stuff you want to travel with.
Do you have any issues with the lion in cold weather?
It has no low temp charging protection in the BMS, so when it gets cold I just disconnect the solar and run it. so far so good and as we approach winter I will see how it goes, I can add an RV tank heater directly to the battery to keep it above 45 degrees if and when I find it necessary.
with the propane on the left and the water heater on the right, how do you connect the two?
I have a 12' hose that runs around the front bed wall and connects to a wye that runs the water heater and the camp stove, also extends to attach to the BBQ. With that line I also have power for the water pump .
🤑🤙
how much for you to build me the exact same setup????
James takes his hygiene seriously
Especially my 10 year old daughter's hygiene ;)
I built the camper out this way to take my daughter on a 6 week cross country trip. The trip was awesome and she LOVED it!! It was soooo cool to save thousands of dollars on hotel stays and other fees associated with long trips.
Love the build out but why cover the egress window on the driver side. I know he gained more storage but I'm not sure if that is a safe idea.
I wanted a camper with no windows at all but they required me to have one, as a captain, I am not afraid to go down with my ship;)
You have a tailgate and a door over the tailgate. If you need to egress, the best way to egress is usually the same way you get in/out every day.

@@justsmy5677 yep!!
I saw your M for sale locally a whilw back. Reason for selling?
Basically because of evolution. After going on multiple trips with Vas and the crew, the M was just too big and heavy to wheel on those trails. It was perfect for fire roads and similar but as soon as we start hitting rocky trails its not nearly nimble enough to fit.
What is your setup now for the new trails?
Check it out in the video Wednesday 20th
Do you have some sort of heater?
diesel heater
what about heating system?
Diesel heater ;)
Where does his daughter sleep?
We share the king size bed up top.
Can’t believe you called his build a heavy pig 👎
It actually is pretty heavy, fully wet its about 7640lbs, GVWR is 7100.....
