Got the sink from eBay. Search 3-compartment sink.
The way I just screamedddd! I am SOOOO freaking proud of you!!
Thank you dear friend.
I always knew you could build a food truck out of that type vehicle.Super awesome job👍🏼
Right! They are extremely versatile and affordable. Thank you 👍🏾
Troy,
Congratulations!!!
One NICE Project!!!
You Should Be VERY Proud!!! :-)
You did a Fine Job, and YOU Built IT…Way To Go!!!
Twelve years ago, I built a 7.5’ x 16’ barn out of 2’ x 4’s and plywood on 4’ x 4’ skids with the intent of parking long term (but the city would Not License me unless it was on the trailer) I would drag it on a flatbed trailer with a winch. Made it in a Hawaiian Theme including a homemade surfboard on the blue painted composition shingle roof which was our sign! It was a Shaved Ice trailer. Business was good but I Sold It a year or so later and made a great profit!!!
Now years later I think about creating another business!
You are very inspiring and REMEMBER…
Don’t Let Anyone Say Anything Negitive about YOUR Accomplishments!!!
Keep Up Your Efforts!!!!
You ARE SUCCESSFUL ALREADY!!!!!!!!!
Take Care!
That’s so cool. Your an OG and you gotta show us rookies something. Good luck. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.
It’s so good to see you, Oh my gosh! Congratulations on everything….. the sweat, the labor, the deals, the accomplishments! It looks great, and so do you 💛☀️. Of course I’ve missed you but the time has been restored. I love you Saucy Vegan the Trojan Prince 👑

10k/mo is respectable for a brick and mortar. idc what city you’re in, that takes some actual effort. Respect
That’s the goal but sometimes it’s less. Thanks.
Good for you young man... good luck to you.. will be following... get your menu up would love to see..
Thanks! Will do!
Congrats man. Glad to see you elevating. Hope the prius is also doing well. & you'll do great with your business Excited to see more! 💚👍👍
Hey! Thanks for saying that friend. My grand opening was so busy I sold out in less than 2 hours.
This is amazing !!! You did such a great job !!!!! You have been my spirit brother ever since I’ve found your very first video 2 years ago !!! Much success and fruitfulness on your journey !!!❤❤❤
Wow, thank you! Of course I remember you. You’re my talented author friend. Sending you the same energy and success friend.
Pretty remarkable my dude. From what you started with to the finished product...can't wait to see more!
Thanks a ton! I just built another food truck so I’m loving this idea.
*Troy you did it bro* 💯💯💯 *You Keep Shining bro, because you walked threw the fire, and still came out **#Victorious**!!!* I love watching your journey you have documented, and my intuition told me to check up on you!
*That’s right King, do ya thang!!!!!* *Peace & Light Always Troy*

I’m doing better than well. I built a food truck and I’m making money doing something I love. Thank you friend 😍😁
That is so amazing!! You are so inspiring!!!♡ thank you for sharing this to us!
Your welcome and thank you for saying that to me. have a wonderful day
I don't know u bro but I'm proud of you. I'm sitting on $6,000 and foods my passion n am a out to dive in head first. Great job
You can do it! $6k is a good number to make things happen. Just be patient keep looking until the right one comes along. Good luck.
OMG! I really appreciate you giving out your pointers and how you started Because the internet would have you thinking you are about to spend between $20,000 to $100,000 just to START !! It will literally drive you nuts that you're trying to reach a goal, but financially not fit.. This is a step that I would have never thought of. Thank you and congratulations🎉....
Yay! I promise you I was in your shoes before I made the connection to do my own build-out. I don't regret starting this way one bit. You can upgrade later after. But at least you can get started. I'm glad I was able to help you. ❤️
@@FoodTrucksForDummies Awesome!!! Looking forward to meeting you someday and showing you my video🙏🏾 In due time!! Again, congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
👏🏾
Congratulations man! You should very proud of yourself. The truck looks so good!
Thanks and I’m proud 👍🏾
Congratulations!!!! Wish you the best!
Yay! Thank you friend. Have a wonderful day.
proud of you man!!

I'm so excited for you and the truck came out great
It’s really good considering it was my first time right. Thanks friend and have a good one.

Sir, I am sooo very happy for you.🥰 I’m know I’m late lol but I hope this is going as fantastic as this truck looks. Thank you for the motivation!! Peace and blessings🫶🏽🫶🏽
Thank you so much and it’s never too late to tell someone your proud of them. I appreciate your support and kindness 🤓
Omg im so proud of you , you beautiful soul. I'm taking my phlebotomy state exam soon you motivate me to keep going. I am also live in my car and I'm trying so hard to get to your level . Keep going and be safe can't wait to see your next video
Hey Mario. We’ve talked before right? I think when it was right before you started living in your car. My advice is try not compare ourselves to anyone else. We all handle life situations differently. I didn’t enjoy living in my car I hope you saw me say that in some of the videos. I tried to be honest and as real as I could without being negative. Thanks for talking with me friend. Have a good one.
It looks great!! Congratulations!!🎊
Thank you so much 😊
I am so happy for you! This is major! Just seeing the progress you’ve made personally is amazing. You deserve all the goodness that’s coming your way. I wish you nothing but success in YOUR business. I’m so proud of you! Like bro like honestly crying, I’m so happy for you! Sending Love always… Keep shining ☀️
Thank you Patrick. This mean so much to me. More than you know. Thank you for supporting me during some of my lowest moments of my life. I really appreciate you you for being here with me.
Very inspiring, you did it!

Congratulations !!🎉
Thank you so much. I hope you have a wonderful day

Go for it! I had no idea what I was doing but I got it done. Good luck 😉
You freaking DID THAT!!!🎉💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you 🙏🏾
Looks great bud. I just got my own pop up and I plan on doing the same thing. Thanks for this
Glad I could help.
Dude I have really enjoyed your content
& the quick simple healthy food you made in your car as a nomad, you could really grow your you tube channel if you recorded more while working the food truck, which btw you've done killer job building that pop up camper!!
Best of luck w/ it ✌🏽
Thanks for the advice I just uploaded a video of me cooking on the food truck. Have a good one.
I’ve been wanting to start a food truck business for sooo long ! I just subscribed to your channel because other videos I watched were not motivating me like yours!
Very cool. Many blessings you deserve it 🙏🏾
Thank you! You too!
@@FoodTrucksForDummies You’re welcome 🙏🏾
Nice job... Thanks for posting dis. I was thinking about doing dis exact same thing. Seeing dis let me know dat it can work.
Try it! Your welcome.
Omg it’s YOUUUUUUUU! This is so crazy and so serendipitous!! ❤❤ I remember searching videos a year ago about car dwellers / nomads and I found u. I literally typed in “star a food truck “ in the search bar just now and u came up immediately. !!! It’s a big dream of mine to start a food truck. Abd its VEGAN!!!!! I guess it shows that I’m wasn’t keeping up with you like I should lol because I didn’t know you were working on this!!! Either way for me this is a sign and I’m sooooo happy and proud for u and just happy for myself for some reason as well . Ase’
Hey friend! Thank you for saying that to me. It means so much. And yes my life has changed. Living in my car has served me. I was able to save some money for the first time in my life. And I made all this happen.
Do you want to own a food truck? It’s a lot of fun but more work than I expected. But worth the effort. I’m happy you found me again.
We all have to learn as we go you did good and congratulations
Yes, we do! Thanks and good luck.
Yo..good job on that food truck my man...inspiration to many...hope you become a millionare foreal!!!...good personality too..keep it going.
That's the plan! Thanks for saying that too.
Great job brotha this made me happy seeing your dreams come true and your work is paying off God bless ya Man I'll keep ya I my prayers!! P.S you should add a service counter on your sliding window like a stainless steel one would dope Asf bro keep us updated Your build Is Clean Asf Great Job!!!!
Thank you! I plan to do a few upgrades. I appreciate your support and positive feedback.

Amazing bro 🔥🔥
Glad you like it
Congratulations! I am a new subscriber.
Awesome! Thank you!
OH MY GOODNESS! I have been saving to buy my first food trailer and start a vegan food truck!!! It is my biggest dream. I am so freaking proud of you and love to see this. Can't wait and thanks for this video :)
Yay. It's a fun business. Where are you located? And when do you plan to start?
I am considering hardwalling our popup, I have a trades background and it wont be a problem but I love seeing everyones projects for ideas. Young man (I have enough years on you to adress you as such lol) I am so excited for you and your new endeavor. You did a great job on your food truck. I pray blessings on your business, you are focused and determined you will succeed.
Go for it! I was worried about the weight but it’s been fine. I have zero experience with wood work. So this was a learning experience for me. I’m happy with the results. Good luck.
Awesome job.
Thanks!
Your pretty crafty looks good . I bought a pip up camper but it had to be completely gutted to the frame. I built a concessions trailer it turned out really nice . 👌
This one wasn’t completely gutted just partially because it had a lot of parts that came in handle. Thanks for watching.
$1 and a dream is all it takes...good luck
😁
Awesome job!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Dope congratulations
Thanks 💯
Wow! This is super impressive!!😃
Thank you 🙏🏾
Well done-Congratulations 🎉
Big thanks
WOW You did that!🔥🔥🔥❤️💪🏾💪🏾❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much.
Awesome work
Thanks a lot 😊
Impressive. I believe in you... Sky is the limit.❤
😍
Your amazing so happy for you ❤
Thank you so much!!
The only fly in the ointment is how much weight you added to the chassis. The frame and possibly the axle and tires on these tent campers can be pretty flimsy. So tow that thing like it's carrying glass sculpture to a museum.
I bet this is a lot cheaper and less work than buying a used food truck or converting a panel truck.
Oh, trust me I thought about that a lot. I was so scared to drive it after it was completed. But it's been fine. Driven 90 miles to Florida Beach no issues. But I take my time for sure. No speeding lol.
Great job man!!
Thanks and good luck 👍🏾
I love this ❤
😍😍
You are inspiring me. 🌱💚
Love that!
You did amazing!
Thank you 💚
Congrats. I will really love to purchae my own food truck
Best of luck! It’s fun but there’s a lot to learn even after you open. I had some crazy power issues and rain leaking in. But now I’ve figured it all out.
Troy, this build is awesome! I'm currently looking for a trailer with good bones right now so I can get my build started! I considered buying used and trying to get started as soon as I could in the beginning, but I want to experience that feeling of building my own from the ground up!
It's a much better feeling when you don't rush the process and trust it instead. What's meant for you will come to you, so there's no need to hurry. That's what I've learnt throughout this journey. Good luck and thank you for your support, too.
Fantastic #FoodTruck conversion 🧡
Thank you 🙏🏾
FIRE!
🙏🏾
Amazing job!
I appreciate you!
Outstanding innovation brother! It really looks great! I'm beginning this journey as well as I just purchased a small shuttle bus. What state are you in? I just subbed your channel as this came up as a recommendation. If I were close, I'd have pitched in to help you. Missouri here. Looking forward to seeing your vision unfold.
Best of luck! I’m in Alabama. The food truck requirements are laidback here. Hopefully it’s the same there too.
Im very proud of you sir
Thank you. Me too.
I’m in the process of doing one this gave me inspo
You can do it. You got this 🙌🏾
Bruuuuuhhh! Thank you. I am thinking of buying a pop-up. I didn't know if I could use it as a food truck. You answered me. Thanks! Congrats, congrats, congrats again.
That’s why I made this video to show other people this option. You’re welcome and Good luck friend. Thanks 😊
@@FoodTrucksForDummies Peace and Blessings. I'm subscribing to support the cause. Maybe one day you can be on my podcast. Just think about it. ✌️
@KARDAYAHSSoulServices I love that. I never been on a podcast before. 🫶🏾
@TroyTodd999 I'll get back with you. We can discuss everything.
This is incredible 👏👏👏
Thank you 💚
Looks crazy nice🎉
Thank you for saying that 👍🏾
Inspirational
Heck yeah 🤞🏾
I still cannot believe you did this so incredibly talented
It’s the talented Taurus mind! You have similar gifts and abilities 🫶🏾
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🫶🏾
Great job bro
Thank you so much 😀
You did amazingggggg
Thank you for saying that!
I rarely ever comment on videos but this is really inspiring. I’m going to look into doing this instead of paying 15k for a prefabricated one. Keep us updated on your progress!
You can do it! I have no handy man skills at all. This was my first ever touching an electric saw. I was scared but I didn’t have another option at the time. Good luck. Thanks for watching.
@@FoodTrucksForDummieswhat was your first month income after taking out all expenses ? And how many days are you open , what is your location plz reply back , help people starting
I don’t know a lot if I’m honest. I’m new to this business. But I do know to change 4x what it cost to buy the food. For example if it cost you $2 to make a plate. You want to sell it for $8 or more. I’m open Wednesday - Saturday. Keep in mind I’m in a small town with only 60k people my busiest days is Saturday. I don’t always make the same money each week or month. Some months can be slower because of other factors like if the fair is in town or there’s some big events going on. My slowest months were December and January. It’s hard work. You have to really want this and enjoy food etc. otherwise it will be hard for you and you’ll not find much joy in the business. Good luck.
@@FoodTrucksForDummies alright I see your location does not have enough traffic but how many customers do you serve each day
I’ve had slow days where I only had 2 customers and busy days where I had 30+. It’s never the same each day. Hope that makes sense.
Great job!
Thank you very much.
Dope!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 🙏🏾
Good job looks awesome
Thank you! Cheers!
I am very impressed by your repurpose of the popup camper - That looks amazing no question
My only concern is, with it being 2x4 & 1/4in ply... is it going to stand up to transporting with out getting rickety?
Again, not downplaying your craftsmanship - Just genuinely curious.
Seems like a very cheap way to start a food truck, which... I am digging :D
Again, amazing work - Inspires.
So far everything is still solid. I’ve driven it about 90 miles. Trust me I think about that too. I will definitely let you guys know if anything changes. Thanks for watching.
Hey my friend!! Love it so much!! ❤️
Hey thanks. Hope all is well
@@FoodTrucksForDummies oh my goodnessssssssssss I miss u terribly!!!
Hey I’m back
@@FoodTrucksForDummies you have no idea how much that makes me happy
How you been friend? Are you still in your van?
So happy and proud of you I did the same thing and got my truck license summer 2023😊
Yes boss lady 🫶🏾
How is the food truck coming? My twins are wanting to create their own ice cream truck and want to get feedback.
@@supervisor404atlanta3 good people love the idea. Someone stole my generators even my backup out my yard in the process of moving in November 😟 Im buying new ones with taxes 😏.
Ice cream trucks are fun, and they typically do well during the summer months. However, they can get slower in the winter months, which is a slow period for most businesses from January to March. During this period, I usually take some time off to travel.
Very inspirational, brother. I'm really glad you're doing vegan food. I've been vegan for over 30 years. On my food trailer I do vegan smoothies. I've been thinking of adding some sandwiches. Holler at me at me when you can.
Good stuff! I’m sure that would be an easy add on. I started with vegan soul food but now just burgers and sandwiches because of food cost and waste.
This is amazing. Where did you have vinyl wrap done at
Etsy, I prefer to support another small business. Thanks.
