@@CodyTownsend stoked for it dude! Also, just bought myself a crew cab truck and hoping to build something similar so this episode was right up my alley.
So due to Coronvirus I brought my mom who is close to 80 years old over to the house to stay. Was watching this on big screen and I thought my mom was doing a crossword puzzle and not paying any attention. All of a sudden she says “You need to tell that boy (Bjarne) to put down some rugs because that snow and salt is going to ruin his floors.” LMAO.
AWESOME !! From a guy .... myself who has spent the last 15 years ski bumming & working at the resorts and living in my truck and slide in campers in mammoth and Tahoe .... You all have some great ideas and good rigs to be living the dream !! Have a good spring fun & safe season as I am where Im at now ....and thanks for all the hard work on making all your videos so we can watch em !!
I hate to say this, Cody. But I feel I must. I was bowled over by your setup. Utilitarian to the max. Then you throw in Bjarne's rig and my head just exploded. I swear it's like the interior of a Swedish sauna. I fully expected an Abba looking chick to pop out of one of the storage spaces.
All i can say is - UNIT!!!!!! Awesome truck Cody. Like your bespoke storage/deck unit. Love seeing how people build their own solutions. Super cool bonus episode. Thanks
Jimmy Chin, "Successful Ski Bum"! LMAO. Definitely want a walkthrough of Bjarne's rig. Lots of great #vanlife channels out there; here's a plug for "Gone with the Wynns",
Man I agree on the truck being a more versatile vehicle and that setup is perfect, but man i love a good van conversion cuz its more like a little apartment and probably a tad bit warmer on cold nights.
Yeah the van is definitely more comfortable for long stints but way less useful for a daily driver. There are upsides and downsides to both that's for sure.
Nice rig. Looking at a pick up as a possibility for my next rig for the same reason- GoFast Camper on back. For me it’s all about being able to store my mountain bike inside away from weather and thieves, still have a full backseat, and be able to set up and take down camp super fast for those night before camp outs at the trailhead. And like you having it all self contained from inside has so many advantages to a rooftop that you have to go outside to access. So many good vehs coming out in next two years Im sticking with what I have for a few, then I’ll see what’s available.
The GFC campers have an 11 month wait list - they're doing pretty good. Now, what if you made a large hatch in the roof of Bjarne's van and put a GFC on top of the hatch. All that interior space spent on his bed would be freed up for more drones.
Gonna have to research that Thule extender.. I'm not 6'2 and have a similar lift on my LC. That would be cool for my surf and race paddle boards if it fits any roof rack (I have FrontRunner). KO2s awesome. Thanks!
Cool rig, never heard of the GoFastCamper before, love that you can access the pop up from the bed. FYI, for those that can't or don't have the capacity to build a cool drawer system in the bed, check out the Decked. I wonder how the visibility is though with a rig like that that has no windows.
I'm so glad when looking for a camper I found the Alu-Cab Canopy Campers. A bit pricier than the GFC but a 1,000 times higher quality, usefulness and strength!
Super cool setup ! may I ask about average diesel consumption ? as seen from Europe that's already a huge truck :) in exchange, I can tell you for my 2007 Mercedes Marco-Polo 4Matic: 11.5L/100km (whole family in, mountain + highway roads)
Cody, are you related to The Best Damn Roofer on UA-cam? He is hilarious, you guys could be brothers. Anyways, love your Channel. Maybe you can come down south and do San Gorgonio with us someday, cheers.
I spend a lot of time in my camper during the winter and a rooftop tent does not work for me but the go fast camper could be a great set up. I have a few ski buddies using them. Have you considered a diesel heater? They put out a lot less condensation and use a lot less fuel.. #ADVwithRoscoe
Lol the end
Jimmy Chin: Successful ski bum
New life goal.
oversimplification, but quite true 😂
We definitely need a special episode for Bjarne's rig. That interior is gorgeous, speaking as a carpenter here.
No point calling them bonus episodes anymore, just go full in and make videos about whatever you've got going on. I'll keep watching em. 🤘🏼
Well trying to separate them from the “real episodes” but plenty more coming in this down time.

Hahaha! I'll tell Bjarne your mom said that.
We need a Bjarne rig tour and an episode where Bjarne and Cody switch roles. I want to see Cody quietly filming while Bjarne narrates and skis for us!
That’s actually what we came up with last year but haven’t pulled it off yet
Cody Townsend amazing! I love this series btw
So cool, excited to Bjarne's rig soon. Love Jimmy popping in at the end!
Bjarn- "U think thats cool? Hold my coffee"
With all this down time, let's please see the van next episode!
hard part is we're 500 miles apart and not traveling...but I'll ask to see what he can do on his own.
@@CodyTownsend if we weren't all in quarantine, I would start quoting that Proclaimers song about walking 500 miles.
I don’t know what I love more about this Bonus Ep. Azulito, Bjarne’s Rig or Jimmy Chin casually saying Hi... definitely very cool episode thanks!
Cheers man.
I don't ski. I don't mountaineer. However, this has been the best series I've come across in a long time!
🤙🏼🤙🏼

Love that Jimmy Chin just casually pops in at the end 😂 You guys both have some sweet rigs, thanks for sharing!
Our pleasure!
The best pick up bed solution..the overland community need to see this! We love the bonus episodes..keep up the good job Cody!

So rad. I saw you in Jackson a while back. It was cool so I told all my friends.
that last minute is the most accurate bit of programming ever. this is exactly how outdoor people talk about their vans and their friends vans.
What can be more cool than Jimmy Chin appearing from nowhere and start hanging out?
Bjarne's tiny cast iron stove is the crux of this episode
Love it! Definitely do another episode on Bjarne's van!! I also like the cameo by celebrity Jimmy Chin.
All i can say is - UNIT!!!!!! Awesome truck Cody. Like your bespoke storage/deck unit. Love seeing how people build their own solutions. Super cool bonus episode. Thanks
Bjarne gear + rig episode is a must.
Agreed, gonna be tough cause he’s 509 miles away locked down but I’ll see if he can film on his own.
Loved the car system but got to say, as I am building my own van right now, Bjarnes van at the end got me so excited :D
"sleeping, snoring farting... No other magic.. just that" 😂
New drinking game, every time Cody says essentially, down a shot 😉🍻
Essentially that could kill you
Rad. Far better than my leaky Subaru outback with a blow up mattress!
Dang, that tent start at 7k.
That’s a lot of nice hotel rooms 😆
HOLY MOLLY Bjarne's van looks unreal!
With us all stuck inside, we could use another bonus episode of Bjarne's rig! Looks epic!
I'll have to ask him if he can film it himself. We're separated and not traveling right now.
nice rig - top rack slide system is super rad. Also +1 on the KO2s - love mine!
Agreed!
Awesome build cody! Being able to stand up inside that is amazing.
+ 1 for another bonus of Bjarne's rig!!
Damn. As if the GFC wait wasn't long enough. This video is going to generate a lot more buzz.
I love how a Ford Ranger is considered a small truck in the US where I'm the UK it's probably one of the biggest non commercial vehicles on the road 😂
Love your Fifty Series! and all the bonus episodes too - Your Rig ROCKS! (we also love your cute little Yorkie)
Sweet - great timing and was curious about your rig. Keep 'em coming. Bonus ep are great too!
Bjarne.. rockstar! Look forward to seeing the beautiful work he put into that van! Oh yeah nice truck set up too!
Yeah do another bonus ep with Bjarne's ride, would be fun to see him in front of the camera a bit as well!
Home Sweet Home-on-the-Road... Very nice!!
Love bonus eps like this, keep em up!
Thanks for this Cody
Outstanding setup Cody
Love behind the scenes episodes (whats in the bag, AMA and now this) keep the content coming Cody
love the bonus episodes, looking forward to Bjarne's multiple features
Cant wait to see bjarnes rig episode!
I know that I'm coming late to the party, but I find it really interesting that all this is being done in an M-Plate vehicle. IYKYK.
Jimmy Chin, "Successful Ski Bum"! LMAO. Definitely want a walkthrough of Bjarne's rig. Lots of great #vanlife channels out there; here's a plug for "Gone with the Wynns",
What a great truck. Dream truck for every outdoors lover.......😍😍😍😍
Bjarne's rig, holy shit, more please.
Get a Mountain Hatch tailgate cover for your ranger. I got one on mine and it turns the tail gate into a usable cooking surface, cutting board, etc
Incredible truck Cody, and nice episode! Sometimes I might camp out in a Mazda Tribute but it doesn’t look anywhere near this comfortable
Woah...Bjarne's rig is the one. That is just killer.
My first vehicle was a ford ranger: Harriet the Chariot
Miss it so much!
Man I agree on the truck being a more versatile vehicle and that setup is perfect, but man i love a good van conversion cuz its more like a little apartment and probably a tad bit warmer on cold nights.
Yeah the van is definitely more comfortable for long stints but way less useful for a daily driver. There are upsides and downsides to both that's for sure.
Really like the latest Ranger.

this is such a rad setup
The GFC campers have an 11 month wait list - they're doing pretty good. Now, what if you made a large hatch in the roof of Bjarne's van and put a GFC on top of the hatch. All that interior space spent on his bed would be freed up for more drones.
dude thats super sick. Most "Lift Kits" are just cookie cutter, no custom fabrication or cusomization whatsoever. Super cool truck
Yeah and they generally just degrade performance and ride, these Radflos improve it so much. They're so sick.
Definitely would like to see Bjarne's van thing looks sweet.
Awesome build! Thanks for the video. Nicely done.
Casual cameo by J.C. :) lol
Gonna have to research that Thule extender.. I'm not 6'2 and have a similar lift on my LC. That would be cool for my surf and race paddle boards if it fits any roof rack (I have FrontRunner). KO2s awesome. Thanks!
Love me some bonus eps! Thanks!!
Thank you for doing this one.
Great truck, dude! But, Bjarne's... what an awesome rig too - thankfully no-one's being competitive!
another great episode....very cool stuff and functional....Bjarnes ride is sic....the little stove is the best....love you guys....
What a fantastic well balanced set up!
Love my '19 Ranger XLT FX4 as well!
Sweet rig. Love that blue color. Reminds me of the sky back in the days before all the chemtrails.
Awesome home engineering, that’s one heavy duty storage drawer.
Sure is. Turned out amazing if I do say so myself.
Great breakdown video of your rig!
Good bug out vehicle, might get used really soon.
Definitely need a tour of that van!!
Truck camping just got DIALED !!
No doubt, I'd love to check out what the man behind the lens is on. Bjarne is the definition of Gangster.
Sweet set up!
Amazing setup. Love it 💙
Cool rig, never heard of the GoFastCamper before, love that you can access the pop up from the bed. FYI, for those that can't or don't have the capacity to build a cool drawer system in the bed, check out the Decked. I wonder how the visibility is though with a rig like that that has no windows.
Sweet rig man!!!!love it
Hey... 4K video!!!!! Thanks for the 4K. Love the truck setup.
Thanks 👍
Super cool.
fabulous
Wow! just Wow!
I guess Ive been pronouncing “Thule” wrong my entire life
Its OK, most people have. They really ought to make it part of an ad campaign.
It's actually a Swedish name pronounced "tool-la"
I'm so glad when looking for a camper I found the Alu-Cab Canopy Campers. A bit pricier than the GFC but a 1,000 times higher quality, usefulness and strength!
Thanks Alu-Cab PR Bot/Influencer/Junior Marketing Associate.
@@CodyTownsend hey no problem! Glad to educate people so they can make the best decision for themselves!
Hey Cody,
why did you opt for the mid size? and what kinda fuel economy are you getting? I'm looking into rangers currently.
VERY GOOD
Love the new Ranger; test drove one last week ... very smooth & way better than the Tacoma IMO. 👍🏻
"Successful Ski Bum" - ya, you could say that!
Yes yes yes yes! Love it!
At 15:20 - that's NOT coffee!!
Super cool setup ! may I ask about average diesel consumption ? as seen from Europe that's already a huge truck :) in exchange, I can tell you for my 2007 Mercedes Marco-Polo 4Matic: 11.5L/100km (whole family in, mountain + highway roads)
consider a "Chinese diesel heater". Its about 300 bucks and is a furnace (ie the combustion happens with exterior air, so its a "dry heat")
Farting: it's my bedtime magic too. I'm not getting much else but at least I have that.
Buenos días!!! Me encanta!!! greetings from Spain.
Cody, are you related to The Best Damn Roofer on UA-cam? He is hilarious, you guys could be brothers. Anyways, love your Channel. Maybe you can come down south and do San Gorgonio with us someday, cheers.
Was debating the GoFast but now seeing this im sold. If Cody approves it then its perfect for my winter needs
This is incredible!
I'm jelly.
I spend a lot of time in my camper during the winter and a rooftop tent does not work for me but the go fast camper could be a great set up. I have a few ski buddies using them. Have you considered a diesel heater? They put out a lot less condensation and use a lot less fuel.. #ADVwithRoscoe
I have looked into the diesel heater for sure but honestly, it’s a bit overkill for this simple of a rig.
