I needed this because trailblazers, envoys and ascenders are basically the same truck,,,, Thank u!!!
Nice 👍 job with the bed 🛌 & Blessed to have a Rosary 📿 near 🙏
My first car, back in 1985, was a 1975 Pinto wagon. I did a lot of camping back then. The back seats folded down flat, making the entire back, behind the front bucket seats, the same height. I cut a piece of foam rubber and carpet to fit the space. My dog and I slept in the back. I also took out the front bucket seat and used that space for my cooler and a few other items. I never thought about making a "shelf" so that I could store things underneath. Great build for your stealth camping.
I came over from Jason's channel. You have an awesome family. Love following you all.
Hi Matt
Theres free wifi at all mcdonalds,wendys,local hospitals,libaraies, just to name some for you.
Good luck on your trip ,have tons of fun,catch tons of fish,be safe
God bless you men
Jason ty for helping matt
Before I had internet at home, I would park outside the local library and use their wifi. They usually run the wifi internet 24/7...at least in WA state. And you don't need to be a library card holder to use it, but having a library card is a good thing, if you're going to be in an area for a long time.
Matt, if you get to WA, you should check out the Olympic National Park and the Hoh Rain Forest. Out along the NW coast of WA there are some really great places to explore...Lake Crescent, Lake Ozette, Cape Alava and the Native American archeological site, Kalaloch beach. It a truly beautiful area. You have to hike out to Cape Alava, but it's a pretty easy hike and that's where the archeological site is. There's also a huge Spruce tree that hangs/grows over the edge of a cut in the land near Kalaloch. There's lots to see in WA state. We have every terrain you can imagine...ocean, mountains, rain forest, alpine forest, high desert, rolling plains, lots of interesting geology.
I'm guessing that you can tell that I've lived in WA most of my life. I spent part of a year in the Jefferson/Tyler/Marshall TX area too. Beautiful country down there as well.
Patty Price Hi Patty Price my name is Patty Price too, how funny is this? LOL
Wow! A place to sleep👍👍👍
looks good guys... might want to move it over to the passenger side so you're not blocking the adjusting of the driver seat and you can keep things you use most next to that door for easy access instead of walking all the way around the car.. just and idea.. looks good tho.. love 2 bothers working together.. love love love it!!
Matt, for safety reasons, I would suggest that, at night while you are sleeping, you might want to move that gas can up on the floorboard in front of the front seat and crack the window just a little, just enough to avoid having fumes build up inside. As it is, if you should accidentally kick it in your sleep, you could potentially have a huge problem. And inhaled gas fumes can do a real job on your lungs.
LOVE that you have a Rosary on your seat!!!! You just made me even happier for joining your channel😀😀😀-Kristy in Missouri 🙏 safe travels
Enjoy seeing brothers work together. Sweet video Matt
That is sooo cool. A bed without losing a lot of your storage space. Use what you have. Especially free. Like the shelf idea. I could live in it.
Guys looks great from here. I will be watching you!!!!
Hay Matt I LOVE the idea of you traveling to see our country. I encourage all my kids to do the same. I live in Aztec NM, and I am surrounded by Indian ruins. I also have a National Park Pass so I can get you in to most of them for free! I would love to have you come stay here a night or two and show you some cool sites. We can light a campfire and drink a few beers and talk about your next adventures.
I’m so glad that you have time to spend with Jason. Be safe on your travels and try to stay warm!
We can still hear you when you whisper rofl 😂. Looks great. Hope you have a GRAND adventure Matt. Stay safe. Excited to see your journey. Blessings
@@ReelinGrillinChillin It was very windy that must have been it lol.
Matt,that is great for u to be there for Jason. So much has changed in a short time for him.i have to say out of all u guys u seem to have the best fashion sense. LOL take care be safe..
Very good y’all. That looks cozy. Now you just need curtains and a wash basin. I’m excited for you! You’ll see lots of cool things along the way.
5 gallon bucket for doin your business lol
Linda Stansell - I was thinking it. 🤣
He was going to borrow Jason little potty tent. That should look great in the Walmart Parking Lot.. lol
@@smilemoney - Bahahahaha That's freaking hilarious!
@@PaullaWells As soon as Jason suggested it.. i envisioned attention Walmart Shoppers.
I think its cool that even the scrap wood gets used. Nothing goes to waste.. Cool..
@@ReelinGrillinChillin well you guys has great parents.
Have a great trip. Be safe we will be watching.
Looks like a good build. If you could put some items on your roof rack, fishing equipment, things you will rotate down(clothes, toiletpaper/papertowels, extra boots/shoes) you would give yourself more room to move around. Home Depot and Lowes sells roof top hard lockable containers at reasonable prices. Pick up some tarps and bungees so you can expand your vehicle when you boondock or campground, if you dont have a tent stowed in there somewhere. Looking forward to your videos and your adventures. Stay safe.
that looks awesome Matt hope u sleep fine in your new bed for now ,i bet Jason was happy to see u want to wish u a safe and enoyable trips u will be on God bless u
Matt, I hope you get to see some beautiful places. Have a great time and safe travels!
Jason sent me!. I like your improved home on the road. Subscribed!!
Wow the clarity on your camera is amazing!
Dang Matt! Thats legit! Nice set up for your road trip. You're going to have such a great time.
It's a very Cousy bed and practical for your adventures.👍😸😸
I enjoy following the Crocker brothers.
Thanks Jason for helping Matt
Nice to see two brothers working together and having a good time. I lost one of my two brothers a couple of months ago to a heart attack and liver shut-down. My youngest brother had a very serious heart attack a couple of years ago and suffered brain injury due to no blood circulation till they got his heart running again. But I will always remember the three of us young again. Funny how life goes!
Jason you are a smart man. Matt good luck on your journey.
Another youtuber did this in her SUV but bed was on other side cause front seat can be moved forward. Then had totes that slid under for storage. More ideas can be found if you search camping and RVing in your car. There are a few videos of different ways of doing it if interested. Plenty of time to rearrange or redo it along the way as you figure out what works best for you. Good luck and God's blessings to you on your journeys.
That's cool Matt I'm glad I'm glad Jason helped you out and gave you some places that you could sleep and stuff and good luck on your adventure and be safe I'll be thinking about you
Subbed from Jason's Channel, looking forward to your Trip. Extra money is what you have just before your vehicle breaks!!!!
i’m so glad you put ur channel back up now u need some new content
Hi Matt! I think it’s going to work to. Jason does an awesome job of figuring out stuff. I’m glad that you guys are there for each other. Great video! ❤️
You guys are so down to earth, love it!
Jason is good at coming up with a solution .. I can’t wait to see how his house turns out .. I hope you have a great trip.. be safe..
Looks great! So excited for you Matt😊 Glad Jason had scrap lumber that y'all could put together to make your road trip a little easier 😊 Looking forward to seeing how the first night went. Thank you for sharing 😊💕🐟
Hello Matt and Jason hope y'all are doing well. Great to see y'all working together on getting you ready for your road trip journey. Wishing you nothing but the best and God's blessings on this journey. Hope your trial run sleeping on the bed was a good one. Can't wait to see all the beautiful sights along the way. Much love and big tx hugs from South Tx.
What an awesome family. Your mom did well.
My setup is a Ford Ranger with a topper. Bed and topper are carpeted. I use a Walmart air mattress with a foam egg crate on top of the mattress. Need to build a similar raised set up like yours, so I have more storage.
I have an inverter to run a heater, and a coffee pot. It will also run a hot plate for a time, but I normally use a propane stove for my cooking. I also have a Dometic 12 volt fridge, to keep my perishables cold.
And an emergency jump box, just in case the draw on my batteries gets low. I need to get a solar panel on the roof, and a couple of marine grade deep cycle batteries, wired to charge while I'm driving.
LOL, so many plans, so little money.
Great Job On The Truck Bed Build Crocker Brothers!👍🏻😜
Much❤Love & 😘
God Bless Ya🙏🏻😇🙏🏻
For you rod and reels...grab some large PVC pipe and build a holder for the luggage rack...and I would put my gasoline and other flammable liquids outside the SUV while sleeping..js..I used to camp alot..growing up..primitive, back pack and tent
Great Job to you both!
I did have to chuckle: 1st Jason standing at the front of the truck in the beginning of the vid, and 2nd Matt's whisper towards the end 😅
Stay save and have fun Matt 👍
Auntie Ann I heard that also Auntie Ann. I just laughed to myself.🤣

Brothers are the best 👌. Great job guys
just wanted to say hello to you wish you a safe adventure to all the places your going!
Blur your license plate, just for your privacy and protection. Good job on the build, safe travels!
Awesome! I'd prolly need more padding..lol looks like it will work great tho! Came over from Jason's channel and glad I did! Can't wait to see what's in store for you!
GOOD CATCH ON THE SMALL MOUTH BASS MATT. ALSO KNOWN AS A SMALLIE. OR BROWNIE I HAVE CAUGHT ONE BELOW LEWISVILLE LAKE DAM IN THE RIVER IN TX
Great idea, lots of storage space. Have a great adventure, looking forward to your videos.
The back of your truck looks awesome. Jason you are a good brother. Great job. You look comfortable Matt. God Bless You Both.
That's cool. He helped ya make a lot easier trip.
Awesome work guys.
Cool Build Matt ! 👍😁👍
some people drill holes in the sheet of plywood (u r using for your bed) so when u have the heat on in your vehicle it can go out your back vent and up through your bed.
Nice build good luck and have fun and a safe trip
For the time crunch. Y’all did a excellent job guys on your conversion Tahoe lol😎💋
Nice little build. Make sure you take the petrol container out before you go to sleep. 👍
Hi Matt, welcome to the crazy world of UA-cam. Hope you have a great trip and catch lots of fish.
Y'all did great. Free is free, use what you have.... Matt be safe,,, Love and Hugs from Sapulpa
Kinda like being a kid again lol. That's awesome
Kinda like he’s never actually grow’d up!!!
Looks like your ready to rock and roll. Be safe and lock your doors at night so your protected from the crazies out there. God Bless.
Great job 👍 looks comfy.. u both did a awesome.. good idea. Hope u sleep well 😴😴. Keep warm.
if you put the silver insulation on top of wood base than bedding on top it will reflect your body heat back up and keep you warmer.
You might find a roof carrier for the top of your SUV for things you don't use as often. I see them on Craigslist all the time in my area and for used ones they run from $25 to $40.
Use it for a spare.
Nice your getting to spend some time with Jason. He probably feeling pretty lonely out there. Shame you guys cant get much work down with that weather. Truck looks good hopefully its comfy. Safe travels Ill be watching.🤗
Hello! Matt & Jason 👋😆💜📹👍. Just my opinion, but, I would have put the bed on the passenger side so you would be better protected in case you have to slam on the brakes or someone hit your vehicle, that way the plywood bed wouldn't get jammed into the back of the drivers seat. But Good Lord willing, you will have a fun & safe journey. Regardless, you did a great job building and organizing everything. Thanks Jason for fixing up Matt's suv". God Bless Each of You".
Don't worry the stuff stacked on the new shelf will provide plenty of opportunity for flying projectiles.
Good deal on the bed. Now with all the stuff in there you can close up the car and be dry and warm.
Matt you had my OCD kicked in to high gear! I think you forgot to pack 1 thing, " the kitchen sink"! Really like the idea to build a bed! Any thing your most excited about doing during your trip? Or just the trip itself !
Great job guys!!!
It's nice to build things from scraps😁
Matt I have watched a lot of van builds and y'all did a great job. Like Jason said you can move things around and use that as a table especially when cooking also. So happy for you both to be spending time with one another as part of that making memories thing. Sorry the weather isn't working all to great. Oh well. Stay warm and y'all take care. Good footage.
Just want to say that this is Matt's tiny house. It's awesome . I am. Girl and I would live in it so I could travel. Awesome 👍 have fun . Put up your aunt block things in your windows at night. Cyrk up in a sleeping bag !! Cool .
You 3 Crockers can do just about anything you put your minds to. Good job!
Good build. You’ll really thought it all out
**Going to throw an idea out there** Our friend is a trucker, travels all over the United States. He has a setup on the dash for his phone and does a live stream on UA-cam or records and uploads later. I can't travel, so for me I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I get to kinda feel like I'm actually seeing it 😂 I'm going to watch no matter what, but just thought I'd throw that out there 😁
Awesome, can't wait!! Safe travels!!
Love your videos! Wish there were more. Love how you and Jared are independent men. Not relying on another person to complete you.👍☺
Be prepared for the influx of "Jason sent us!" Haha! Subscribed and can't wait to see your upcoming adventures!
Looks 👍🏻 great enjoy your trip. We will be watching from the Tube
Looks good, so glad you got a bed to sleep on, that will save you money, not having to get a room so much, I will be following you on your traveling, I hope you sleep well!! :)
Enjoy your trip matt
He can also make same rope from the left en richt site on the handels on the roofsite to put long stuf😜👍
Matt some years ago my husband and I took a 3 wks motorcycle trip from Florida to California and up into Washington State. We camped most of the way. But before we left Florida we bought a pass to all the Federal State parks . it was much cheaper that way and in some instances they had camping not far from the parks plus these places had showers. We did that every year for 10 years having different destinations each year. Great fun and a wonderful way to travel when its warmer weather.
Awesome job, boys! Hope you have a good winter sleeping bag and extra blankets - gotta plan for cold nights. Down or wool blankets are the best!
Btw, most coffee shops will have wifi, as well as what others have mentioned, libraries especially. Enjoy the trip and be safe out there!
The standard thinking with a bed like that is... The low ceiling height means you (he) won't work on the computer or watch movies there. It'd be more comfortable to use the passenger seat. Expect that when designing, and it'll save you a little time. What a nice little project!
Great lil DIY use what ya got build something you need video-- hope it works well for you on your adventure- cant wait to see where ya go and what ya do-- many blessings,,stay safe....Glo
Awesome! Y’all have fun, stay warm, and safe!❤️❤️
Ahh yes the Ole trailblazer rear hatch CREEKING!
Nice and cozy.
Way cool, looking forward to watching your road trip. Safety first.
You could of saved time by turning around the truck and unloading it quickly. It would of saved time and foot steps for you two at first
Doing a GREAT JOB. Must be NICE having each OTHER. I never had brothers or sisters. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH. So GLAD YOU are SHARING your TIME TOGETHER
Nice job guys!
I love to see the two of you helping each other out and just enjoying each other’s company. Family is so important. Looking forward to watching the adventures ahead.
Don’t forget window covers so people can’t watch you sleep! Good build!
Great teamwork!
Hi 👋Matt I think you need some candles and a tin can for light and put candle in ten can will put of heat. It works when you need it in emergency
Matt; enjoy your time with Jason and your journey along the way. Stay safe out there on them roads. Much love from OHIO ❤️❣️❣️❤️. We are having freezing rain here.
Nice job, guys. Looks cozy.
Hey Guy's! Nice team work there. I hope you have a fun and safe adventure, whenever you head out!
Cool, that'll be comfy for the trip!
Just an idea, planet fitness gym is $10 a month. You could shower and work out.
They are nation wide.
That's a great idea ---does the membership cover all locations?
The membership would need to be upgraded so you have access to Planet Fitness in every state. The cost of that membership is $22.00 a month. In California the beaches have showers for free.
mflynnnj1 I think you upgrade to use nation wide. They are open 24 hrs
@@bethteer1509 to use all locations throughtout the country...It's $22.00 a month, which is still a great deal.
I just want to make sure the correct info is out there. The $10.00 membership a month is only for your local location.
Also there is a small sign up fee of about $30.00 but they run specials all the time. I think right now it's only .25 cnets down. Still a great solution for people traveling.
