Pro-tip for drilling holes through carpet:- get a soldering-iron and stab/melt a hole through the carpet before you drill into it. Otherwise, very nice job. Very similar to what I've done in my Discovery. The drawers are in the back permanently and I can fit the rear seats for daily-driving. When I go camping I can remove the back seats, fit the sleeping-platform in their place and I've got a heap of extra storage space underneath it. Also, the sleeping-platform is the perfect height for sliding wolfpack boxes underneath them. Also, also, the sleeping platform has a hinged 60/40 split in it so my dog can hop from the pavement to the floor of the car and then up onto the sleeping platform easily.
Nicely done. Don't cut you platform to miss the roof handle. The handle is for a passenger to hold on to. Not a seating area any longer. Remove handle and Bob's your uncle.
First i want to say i hope you feel better soon sorry about your injury but at the same time everything happens for a reason..... And amazing job on the platform conversation...... Stay awesome and stay safe God bless
Wow thats a lotta work... lucky my suburban is flat all the way to the back... twin memory foam mattress for the win... still space for piles of stuff... i'm so glad I didn't just go for a boring 4runner hehe
I got 100 series also, I would suggest buy a rooftop tent. I went with Bush company Alpha and extremely happy with that. 30-second setup and my bed is ready for the night. 🤙
Saftey is also an issue in a RTT. This way she can lock the Cruisers doors and be safe. Also if there is a problem it’s simple to climb over the seats and drive away.
Great job! Sorry to hear about your injury. Hope you are recovering ok. Think about some pneumatic door struts. Attach them so the shelf would stay down, but they would hold them up when you need to load and unload. Just an idea.
Great job on this build. A good replacement for wooden boards for overland builds to save weight is PVC Foamboard. Light strong and it can be glued together using PVC glue and primer.
Great job I love to see you working on improving your Overland build on your own although you had some bumps and a nasty burn to deal with it looks great keep overlanding!!!!
There’s just something about a girl in coveralls doing metal work that makes my heart skip beats. Oh, and that platform looks great too! You’ll be much more comfortable I think.
What a great job you did it alway great to make your you’re on modifications and making your old bracket and learning at the same time great on the measuring welding and a finish job
Very nice! We love learning new skills. We have a friend who has been helping us named Jason. He has an amazing skill set and collection of metal tools. My sister always says to us that she needs a Jason! Looks like you too have a Jason...LOL. Had you given any thought of just removing the grab handle. So you wouldn't have to bother cutting your board? Love how you worked with the seat bracket truck hardware to create new brackets. Brilliant, simple and smart way to put everything back to stock if needed. Well done! Mark & Teresa PS Teresa says you should never use your teeth as a tool...LOL
Damn. We should meet up so you can help me with my build, that is if Toyota fulfills order of my ‘21 4R. Just curious, have you considered a roof top tent so you can have more storage inside. 🤙
Really like your setting,in the future close time I would like to have project to do something like that .I see some travelers have top tent,ground tent but I like yours better.I believe you have to be inside of the controls of your truck for security .Outside ....Bears and Mountain lions can climb. Monique jewelry and Drills not good idea. Good day 💗
Good for you darling---looks good!!! Sorry to hear you got hurt----I am not on patreon so not sure what happened??? Prayers for you and please be careful!!!🤩🤩🤩
Great setup. Can you pls advise 1) is the fridge too noisy at night and do you turn it off 2) do you need to open windows to avoid condensation inside the LC? Wanting to do the same to my 200. Thx 👍
Fridge is not noisy at all. Often at night it’s cold enough the fridge is on standby. I don’t get much condensation in the car. It’s pretty well insulated. Perhaps because i cover all my windows with reflectics
Great work with the platform. May I ask where you bought your ARB sleeping cover? I can't seem to find it anywhere in Europe. Is it available outside AU? Thx a lot
I would like a tutorial on p00ping strategies… (not joking btw)… Half technical and half etiquette… Because between the portaloo replacing a back seat and the bag of adult diapers… I sometimes get weird looks…
Fuck!!!! You can really do that by yourself?????? Wow!!! Coooooool!!! I'll invite you in Europe to overland with us in winter. But we only make barbeque and party. Ahhh......and do stupid shit with the cars -))))

Just when I thought you couldn't get more awesome, you do this. I'm going to date Asian women exclusively from now on. I hope I can find somone as awesome as you. P.S. I hope your burn gets well soon.
Not too many girls know how to use tools,you are awesome .👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Monique is the most gorgeous overlander 🤙 handygirl DIY everything 👏👏🤙 respect ✊
Someone is very handy with the tools, I had no idea watching your videos. 👌
This channel just gets better, DIY project building at it's best. Great video Monique
Came out looking very professional. Mine would have looked like a kindergartner's popsicle stick project...
Just found this channel, am I glad I did, I've picked up some great ideas for my 80 series setup. I'm now subscribed, great channel Monique
Nicely done. Don't cut you platform to miss the roof handle. The handle is for a passenger to hold on to. Not a seating area any longer. Remove handle and Bob's your uncle.
Or rig up a strap to hang the platform from the handle for loading cargo below it.
Nice job! This is exactly what I'm doing - a 100 series LC with a sleeping platform with storage underneith. 😊
What an awesome lady you are. Your parents and friends should be very proud. Love the content and the way you present it. Gdonya mate.
Now I am watching DIY vlog from Overland Lady. You are so good in using precision tools to build something for your Land Cruiser.
Well done, gr8 idea. You can also think of removing the top handle to allow your bed to fold back.
This looks fun. I need to build a sleep platform for my Crosstrek.
First i want to say i hope you feel better soon sorry about your injury but at the same time everything happens for a reason..... And amazing job on the platform conversation...... Stay awesome and stay safe God bless

I would if i had the budget along with GVM upgrade. Rig is heavy aready

From a business major woman to a DIY weekend builder that you are my idol:)
bit of a learning process but it’s not all that hard haha

Awesome job, cool to watch. Glad you left in the struggles along the way. Really enjoyed this!
Wow didn't know you were such a fabricator. I like the idea. Going to do something similar in my camper shell. 👍😁
Great job I love to see you working on improving your Overland build on your own although you had some bumps and a nasty burn to deal with it looks great keep overlanding!!!!
Wonderful job! Nothing like having the right tools at one's disposal for projects. Sleep tight!
Grinder and paint make me the welder I ain't LOL
Looks nice. God job done. Cheers🍷
So cool. I’m really wanting to get out. Pt a 270 awning and walls to extend my living area. Just will need a bear proof food storage.
I will do the same with my grand cherokee for a trip in the mountains in switzerland. Many regards from Berlin/ Germany, Ralf

you're not wrong
Damn! That’s awesome!
Like a boss! Nice job
What a great job you did it alway great to make your you’re on modifications and making your old bracket and learning at the same time great on the measuring welding and a finish job
Nice job!
Nice job! Instead of cutting that corner of the plywood, just use a short line to have hung from the handle.
Nice Job ! Looks very comfortable for you now. Thanks for sharing , as you provide some great ideas . Can't wait for the next adventure 💗🚙🌟👍
Great job your skills are increasing, get well soon Monique 😢👍
Do you chack your van floor for rust.i like your bed.

PS Teresa says you should never use your teeth as a tool...LOL
Haha teeth are the best tools when hands can’t cut it. I still use those handles to hook things so i’ll keep them for now
@@OverlandLady 🙂
Cool
I have similar in my 100

I bought it while in Australia
@@OverlandLady I almost guessed that… :)))
I love this lady... :D
Well done!
Can you make sets of these metal brackets for sale?!
I can only make them for the 100 series cuz that's what I have
@OverlandLady I have a left hand drive 100 series, let me know if you'd be willing to sell me a set!
@@frozenikes859 Everyone's drawer height is different. i'll need to measure the height.
@OverlandLady I have the Dobinson dual roller drawer system with side wing kit for the 100 series
Awesome build. Sub.
That looks good! I need to start mine too haha I put the PRO in procrastination 🤣
very nice
So awesome from NSW
Wow! That's good work, where do you find a pretty girl that's good with the tools, you rock girl. 😎
Amazing content as always, incredibly informative and you a straight gangsta 🔥🔥
why not just use a rtt? for 2 person?
I love your videos
I love your channel you inspire all women and girls ♥️♥️😎👍
실력이 엄청 뛰어나시군요~~ 완전 굿입니다~~
妹子真handy👍 以后有时间我也学一下 把我的LX470也改一下
I would like a tutorial on p00ping strategies… (not joking btw)…
Half technical and half etiquette…
Because between the portaloo replacing a back seat and the bag of adult diapers… I sometimes get weird looks…
I don't know how bad your wound is but make sure you are eating plenty of protein. Protein helps the healing process.
why not just unbolt the handle?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
felt that funny bone
Ouuuch😂
Fuck!!!! You can really do that by yourself?????? Wow!!! Coooooool!!! I'll invite you in Europe to overland with us in winter. But we only make barbeque and party. Ahhh......and do stupid shit with the cars -))))
This girl is beautiful.
Remove the rear grab handle.
