- Lots of people camp in their pickup trucks, but some take it a step further by building out a sleeping and storage area. These builds are almost always done on long box pickups, but not today!

“Vans blend in”
*shows a giant tent on top of one*
It is still less obvious than a camper or rv
@@envy4847 actually I do see them more than you would think
James Jarvis except for that
For your information that is called a pop top
it’s just a hat!
Nice! Also, Johnny: "I thought that was for the beer" - priceless! lol!
Also, Seth: “ITS A F*cking LASER”
@@slaterfrei7665 Correction "F*cking Lazer"
Awesome ideas! I love me some car camping. Now I just need one of those frickn lasers...
Yeah i need one too
We all need one
I’d like to let you know that you are my favorite UA-camr and I don’t even mountain bike.
Holy shit Johnny's shop is amazing!! Love this kind of stuff
BKXC nice to see you here 🙃
Yeah
?
Oooooooo you said a bad word
Super fun collaborating with you again, dude! Camper turned out awesome, so cozy in there!
I'm stoked on it! Now that we've done two collabs, it's time to step up the difficulty...
I think we've got a few good ideas... :)
Hi Seth
Your workshop is truly amazing! Great build.
great build buddy i liked it
Simplicity is king! Inspiring video Seth!
German, What are you doing here?
Boy I totally forgot about these old videos. They are still very good
I find your videos so entertaining, very professional and love that you put all aspects of mtbing in not just riding.
can i just say that the shot in the beginning is beautiful.
especially the clear view on the orion nebula on the right is so stunning.
Awesome. We have been talking about alternatives to tent camping for years and this spring started thinking about an easy pickup bed option. So pleased to have found something that is customizable, easily installed and doesn’t look like the big homemade plywood box.
a f*cking laser to carve out logos.
amazing.
No it a fucking lazer
I'm in the process of doing this with my short bed tacoma. I will be getting a hard shell instead of the soft topper though. With a platform to sleep on and long drawers under for storage and counter space
Why not a long bed
Another perfectly executed project, that came out Awesome! I personally dug the soft topper, a lot less hassle/weight then aluminum or fiberglass. Honestly camping is half the fun of my out of town mtb trips! I love exploring new places on and off the bike 👍👍
This is really awesome, and it illustrates how much value you can get from a relatively small setup (with good planning and execution).
This is one of my favorite videos. It didn't have any riding but making a riding weekend more enjoyable is great!
johnny is the shiznit. those tools are a stuff of envy
rekamniar thanks man!
rekamniar serious envy. Holy Cow, I’ve not seen that much woodworking tech in anybody’s home before
Rixter thanks man, I love my shop!
Simple yet awesome....good video Seth
I'm not into van life, but I love seeing the build videos. That's what lead me to your channel and I've been watching every video since then! Berm peak is looking great!
I customized my pick up truck last year for surf trips truck camping and anything else that we want to do, your corner cabinet is great. This summer I’m going to install one for our camping needs. Thanks for the wonderful idea. Enjoy your travels😎
Can’t believe I’m seeing this now! I’ve bugging the hell out of my wife telling her we need a camper van, but now I see possibilities with my ram 3500. Thank you 🤙
Looks up Last Line of Defense. He's second most recent video is with a guy who lived in his ram for a bit
K I’m all about the bike and hacks stuff but this was super entertaining to watch and fun!
Most professional looking woodshop I've ever see.....so clean!
Guys this is awesome. Love the creativity and simple answers to the short bed truck. I searched several sites before I came across this one. Took me about 2 seconds to subscribe after the video. Great job!
Funny thing is....for me....I'm a camper who brings his mtb to get around the campsite vs the other way around.
I'm sitting in my camper drinking my coffee watching UA-cam about mountain biking getting ready to go ride
+2dogsbiking the life!
I start my ride watching UA-cam videos, it’s a magical thing
2dogsbiking lucky
Marin Mountain Biker internet videos are magic.
Totally ACE guys! You rocked a tiny space making it livable 👍😊
Great job. Love all the different ideas we come up with. Mine has a sink too. I camp and kayak. About to be 69 years old.
It’s so sad seeing drama in these past videos.
But, nobody really dies if people still think about them. So technically, as long as his videos stay on UA-cam. Drama will never die.
Seth: Thanls for riding with me
Me: Has never rode a mountain bike in my life
Awesome build. Seems simple in its construction, and pretty darn useful on the road. Way to go! I definitely enjoyed watching the video. Great idea. Nice looking dog as well! Good work guys. Enjoy the build Seth.
I've been watching Johnny since his channel started, then I ran across him on a Mtn bike channel... awesome... I'm just getting back into biking again and love your channel.... great video.
hell dig it dude, hearing you walking about camping and builds like this is just as interesting as mountain biking
Thanks dude! I was a little worried
Seth's Bike Hacks you find a way to make videos about riding without hands the most entertaining 2 min of my life
Bruh, the only solution is a semi truck with a 40 foot container on the trailer with a Mazda miata in the back of the container 😂
Forget the truck just sleep in the trunk of miata
How bout just a pickup with a Morris Mini in the bed?
WHY DO I WANT A SEMI TRUCK NOW?
Not a Miata but instead something less gau
*M* iata
*i* s
*a* lways
*t* he
*a* nswer
That is such a smart and functional system, I would love to do that with my truck!! Great Job 👍
Dude! You just gave me some inspiration for my 07 Ridgeline! I have been playing with the idea of putting a topper on it sometime in the future. Glad to see there are some others making good MTB use of their short bed pickups!
Hey Seth! Great work with this here channel! I love your unagitated way of presenting, love how you spice your videos with good portions of humorous bits as well as I like listening to your voice in general.
Besides the entertaining value, the most important thing about your videos for me is that they got me back into mountainbiking, which I had mostly been doing as a kid and not continue as a teen. Just like with watching skiing videos in summer makes me look into the sky wondering when the first snowflakes would fall, your MTB videos catalysed the wish to make my wheels spray dirt into my face. So after watching nearly all of your videos by now and continiously riding more and more I am now asking myself how I could've kept all that fun from me all those years. Well I am back at it now and the feeling of my own skills improving with about every ride is highly addictive; thanks for getting me back into riding! :)
Please do more stuff like this🙏🏼
That is absolutely rad! Great work, Johnny!
This is brilliant. I would love to do something like this. Thanks for always keeping it real.
He hasn’t used this once since he made so what was it for.
I haven't seen him us it ether.
Andrew Daub IKR
Epic Master Andrew when he camps
ik i wanna see him use it
Max Hansen me too
Honestly feel you dont need all those fancy woodworking machines, done all my work with just a jig, chop, table saw, and my drill
Really love the minimalist-ness of the build tho
That is some impressively good use of space! So rad!
This is one of the coolest truck camper setups I've seen so far
Wow 2 uploads in a week 😱 thats what you call grind baby 😳
Where's the bike going when you are sleeping? On your lap? 😅
Simao W bike rack
Come on... we all love snuggling up with our loved one ;)
front seats?
Guess u didn’t watch the whole video. The bike minus front tire stays inside on the other side of the sleeping bag upright. Guess the front tire goes in the front cab or bottom of the trailer cabin.
liquidSpin what about when he has multiple bikes
Awesome! Just bought a 2022 BE ridgeline and I'll probably go with this exact simple set up considering how small the bed is. Thanks man!
This video actually helped me out ALOT. I was discriminating against trucks with a small bed but now i dont have to! Thanks again!
"I like how i did that whole sketchup model and I haven't even referenced it once." lol
Hey Seth
You should make a few videos with your race bmx on a proper dirt bmx pump track!
Very cool. I've been cramping for years. Lots of room in the bed of my Ram 1500. Enjoy the new digs.
Great video Seth and Johnny! You guys are inspiring me to build something for my 4Runner !
Seth, when are u going to do another video on the backyard trails.
"You know it's about to go down when Johnny busts out Google Sketchup." Lol, best thing I heard all day
I turned my SUV into something to camp in. I can fit a bed easily and everything I need. Extra stuff in my roof rack shell.
Cool video.
This is the best by far. Low impact for visits, travels, exploring.
Its a good start... But now you need solar panels, porta pottie, 12v compressor refrigerator, LED perimeter lighting, air conditioning... Just saying... You are now going to have to step it up... Yes, I have been watching too many how to live in your van videos... 🤔
I've been down that wormhole!
Well it’s pretty amazing anyway, also that you can stuff a bike in there
Seth's Bike Hacks you should do a video where you go back to Fort Lauderdale and ride some trails, and in that awesome park you used to ride street in. I remember when you did joyriding rental bikes
you forgot toilet and a pool
ZiggZagg11 just get a mercedes camper 😇 ua-cam.com/video/GAd1kCNPEIM/v-deo.html
Where can I buy that pressurized growler? That was cool.
Idk
It’s in the description
This is rad, Seth! Love your on-the-bike vids, but I really dig these. Keep 'em coming.
That was one fresh video. Enjoyed watching that one a lot.
Been doing this. Vanlife without a van and life🤣
It's funny how Seth had a sink before Alex had one in his van which he lives in full time. 😂
That is seriously cool. Well done. I love your videos. You have great ideas and you execute them well 👍🏻😄🚵🏼♂️
That's one sweet workshop. I'm amazed at that little set up you guys made, all you need :)
lmao the music was simply nailogicals intro music
I thought I heard Visio Racers theme in there too haha.
I KNEW I RECOGNIZED IT!
@@mrvwbug4423 Yeeeessss !!!
I was thinking that ahah
Awesome! But what do you do with your bike when you are sleeping?
lock it up, or cuddle up with it
Brandong13 a bike rack would be good for that, I seen in the last picture he still put it in the back but then it would get pretty dirty.
Maybe for you but Id already be curled up haha
Exactly what I was thinking. It would be cool to see something cnc'd out of wood for the bikes. A foldable wood bike box that can go outside the truck and have a cable lock running through it so people can't see what awesome types of bikes are in there would be rad. Maybe it would double as a table or something. Van life is super appealing. I would need a big van with my family of 4 tho. Enjoy your vids Seth.
Seth's Bike Hacks you might want to give it a little bike bath before you cuddle with it
Freaking sweet! Love the simplicity and the set up!
Wow!!! That's an awesome build!
This reminded me of that one episode of top gear lmao where they went to Africa
to be fare this might not work so well for someone who's not 5'4
Lemzi Lee just get a slightly larger pickup.
Alex is 5' 10" and uses the same sized sleeping pad. If you're a giant then you ain't sleeping in a short box pickup.
im 14 and im 6'2 so idk how well that would work
Yeah, with that truck the tailgate would have to be down. I used to have a shell on a 6'+ bed and it was really tight, even diagonally. The first few times I'd take off my knuckles in the middle of the night when turning. Dropping the tailgate isn't so bad compared to waking up with condensation running down the sides of your shell, unless of course you are paranoid about bears, or the toe monster.
fair
Love it!!! Great work guys! Safe travels and camping. Namaste.
You've inspired me! I recently bought an f350 with a fiberglass top. My son would love this.
Awesome cabinet I just always thought you drove a real truck for some reason
Do a bike check on the diamondback hook
HUUUUGE props to this project. I love it.
I love the mix of Biking and Woodworking!
I love your videos😍😍
Sorry for my bad English. I'm from germany😂
One question where can I buy your stickers 😂
"You know it's about to go down when Johnny busts out Sketchup"
lmaoooo google sketchup xD
Honestly didn’t want this video to end! It was so cool! Keep it up Seth! 🤙
I was thinking about this for my truck but I have a hard top. You gave me some good ideas for my truck for me and my son when traveling! Thanks man great vid!!
You forgot a bed for Drama!
6:00 the Visio Racer intro song 😂
Yeah !
I'm glad I'm not the only one, I love that guy's channel.
@@TH3C001 Me too !
Yes bro I’m glad I’m not the only one 😂
I used to have a ridgeline. Great little trucks, but I can't imagine trying to live out of that tiny bed haha. You sir are a wild man.
Jay N To be fair, he’s like 5’4”. I’ve got a highlander hybrid which is surprisingly roomy but it’s a pain in the ass to sleep in, even with the back seats down and an inflatable mattress haha
My love of MTB came from many years of camping at Davidson river in Brevard... I had my “cramping” down! I have been almost disappointed that one of my ridding biddies bought a cabin that since has become home base... still awesome to get together with old friends to ride and enjoy
Why do your friend have oreos stuck to his earlobes???
cause it's cool ?
Leave people alone wtd
My ex is a 4:01
LOL NICE ONE!
XD
Haha
Twitch_MTB ha
MasonBreuhl lmao
Such a great build! 👍🏼😃 love it ❤️
Cool vid. Great idea. Also, I love how quite and clean the cutting tools are. 🤫
What kind of CAR is that
Honda Ridgeline
honestly think you should consider a hardshell for that security. imagine how a dude feels when they pass by your truck while youre away.
do check out SnugTop or Bel-air Shells, they have some seriously good shells
This is one of the best camper "mods" or whatever Ive seen. Awesome!
Totally awesome, and the ridgeline is on my shortlist for my next vehicle.
So where does the bike go when you're in the back?
I thought that, what's to stop it being stolen? Perhaps it goes in the cab?
He’ll have to buy another bike rack
The opposite corner of the shelf-sink-compartment-thingy

“F***en laser”
Just needs some fricking sharks now hehe
So awesome dude I love the laser work on the wood and the tap/water holder is amazing !!
I like the direction this show is taking.
"Its a fkn lazer" Seth 2017
Do you have kids
This is the EXACT video I needed to see. Thank you sir!
I just found your channel. The setup is awesome. I have a car. I have recently decided to do more mt. bike riding. now I really want some kind of outdoorsy vehicle... just outstanding.
