Hey great video. I like watching these. I’m wanting to build one myself so I’m getting all kinds of good ideas and very useful information from channels like this and broke overland. Love the content. Hopefully I’ll be building one soon
Thanks, I can’t take that credit though. I got the keg idea from Everlanders. There channel is great and they are very talented with tons of good ideas!
This is shaping up to be an excellent build. Can’t wait to see this come together. Side note: on the isotherm fridge double check the measurement. When I was looking at fridges. All the ones I wanted where 1/2” to big to fit through the 21 1/2” of clearance the euro door provides with the frame in.
Ok so I did some measuring and you can fit the isotherm 195 through the euro door. What I discovered is that the outer flange of the refrigerator is mounted with a handful of machine screws and is not a "fixed" part of the refrigerator. after removing all of the screws I can remove the mount flange and get the refrigerator width down to 20 9/16" making easy work of getting through the door.... you had me sweating that one!! When I get to that point I'll post a video on it.
I really appreciate you sharing your buildout. It's very helpful, as well, to see it in progress. Since shelters or habitats are so expensive to buy, I was thinking about building one from scratch. I see on the backend of your habitat that it looks like you built that from scratch. Is that correct? If so, can you share any learning resources that I could use for research on how to do this? Again, I love what you're doing. Keep up the great work. And thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Glad you commented on my recent video. It led me to your channel. Keep up the videos I love the deck. I noticed comments are turned off on your Stewart and Stevenson overland truck video.

Just saw this video and subscribed! Great job on the habitat. It may be in another video, but what is the plan to prevent thermal transfer into the habitat?
Thank you! I may be answering you question wrong if so please clarify. The habitat is 2” thick foam bonded walls with 3.5” floor & ceiling. The 3’ extension I built on the back of the truck is all spray foam insulated with tiger foam 2”, then to separate the truck cab I am currently using a 4” thick foam block that I just push in snug to my crawl through and so far that seem to work. Thanks for the sub!
The ceiling height is about 6’6” so it’s perfect for my relatively short family I’m the tallest at 5’8” . And as for the acquisition, I bought the truck from a guy in Washington who did have it licensed as an RV already so that was awesome!!
Have you ever considered changing out the stock alternator for an aftermarket diesel 24 volt lternator and eliminate the issues of the overpriced alternator.
Wow, great job! I can't wait to see the progress. Do yourself a favor though, when you get to finishing the interior, stay away from Broke Overland's channel. His hoodliner idea was awesome, but his idea of interior finishes will kill the average man.
@@jeffcobuilds2660 Yeah, I have mad respect for his skills. You do some really nice work too. Your build is going to be epic. Watching you drive without a seatbelt was giving me sweaty palms though. : )
@@jeffcobuilds2660 thank you sir! This is an awesome build. I’m working up some plans to make a trailer to pull behind my jeep for my rtt is why I was curious about the siding.
The 16ga was think enough to be strong against trees branches scrapes etc. but your still able to work it easily with nibblers and shears. I think it would be a good application for your project. Good luck 👍
Thank you, I bought the truck on New Year’s Day from a guy who bought it off gov planet a few years back. I really liked this truck because he had it titled as an RV already so plating it was easy.
Yes! Great way to go! The auctions look like such a hassle, and tagging and insurance is even more overhead! I still am trying though, thank you for the response, and looking forward to your next update! Thanks again.

Thanks for the videos. Always fun to see different visions come to fruition. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

Can't wait to see this build progress.
Looks great! Corny kega & mini split, nice! Good seeing someone else(very few) think'n outside the box!

Look into diesel coolant heater. Never get stranded when in cold climates! 😎👍

Thanks for the tip, I’ll pull some hard numbers on it I have it in storage. Fingers crossed

Thanks for sharing your videos. Good work. I hope I can do a similar one. Thank you.
I hope you can too its very rewarding
Looking good!
thanks Ethan
I like the old school winch.
Sometimes simplicity trumps technology...
How hard is it to get parts for an Lmtv?

That was my first video ever and I accidentally made it “for kids” so the comments are off and now I’m not sure how to turn them back on.

Looks good! Lots of work and pieces to bring together interested to see your vision inflate
yes tons of work but hopefully worth it. thanks for the comments
What is between the aluminum skin and pre-existing steel?

Sweet! So how tall is the ceiling? And did you buy truck from surplus or did you find one already privately owned?

I haven’t only because the factory alternator is capable of 12 and 24 volts which is nice for wiring interior components but thanks for the insight.
Keep doing it.

His work is very impressive, and slightly tedious...

Sorry man, I see my comment with a link to the LMTV Overlanding Facebook group was deleted. Anyways. Keep up the good work.
I didn’t delete it, maybe try reposting it, I would love to check it out.
What’s the exterior siding?
The exterior is 16ga aluminum

Where did you get the door?
I got it from expedition upfitters but it’s a arctic tern product. Took about 10 weeks to get
Great job! Thank you for making these, keep it up! Did you get it from govplanet and if so how long did you have to wait for it? Thanks

This thing is awesome love to talk with you how does one get ahold of you
I’m not on Facebook but if you give me your email I’ll give you my number if you want.
I'm not crazy about the fold down deck. When traveling if you need to stop and get quick access for any reason, you first have to fold down the deck.
That’s why I have a pass through going into the cab. For quick access. Thanks for the comment though.
Put Jake in your videos
God vide. You need a better mic or lapel mic
Working on getting a better setup soon!
