This is a video one in a series of videos I will be doing to improve my truck camping set up. This video covers the basic build of the platform and storage drawers. I am by no means a professional at wood working, or anything for that matter. LOL In addition I built this with basically two tools, a battery powered 4.5 inch circular saw, and a drill. In the following videos I will not only be upgrading the set up to have power, water, and other amenities, but I will also be camping in it, possibly living in it.

Well that was chaotic 😊👍🏽
Draw up a plan, measure twice and cut once.
I was yelling at the screen, “you’ve got it the wrong way.. flip it over” 🤣🤣🤣
finally found someone building like the rest of us with out all the fancy tools and garage set up. excellent video. subscribing to your channel.
You know. Thats what you get when you are Doin it with Doug!
That went together NICE buddy!! Great Work!!
🍻
Thanks Pa! Could have used your expertise. :)
Was well worth it, just for the camping joke. But seriously, thanks for sharing your knowledge and ideas.
Glad someone liked it! Haha Thanks for being around.

What size tires are thoae and how do you store yoyr spare tire? I have a ranger with 32 11.50r15 tires and it wont fit under the bed.can you tell me how you do it?
Eventhough sometimes hes cringy and awkward I love him and his videos!! Your channel is awesome and its giving me so much inspiration for my 99 ranger
Thank you. I know i'm cringy and awkward, part of it is an act and part of it is just me being me lol Hopefully it gets better for ya man. ;)
@@DoinitwithDoug nah man just keep being you I love it
Thanks pal! Any content you want to see ?
@@DoinitwithDoug I really like the camping build and maybe like a top 10 small upgrades?
You should do a explorer overhead console to go with the seats you put in. Your explanation on the wiring for the seats is extremely helpful and I would love to see you do the overhead console.
Yeah, I defiantly am considering that swap. I am glad that it helped you Brevan.
@@DoinitwithDoug there are very few things that make me nervous when working on cars and wiring is one of them. Just trying to make my ranger the best it can be which started with a v8 swap.
Love the content! I want a Ranger so bad
do you respond to comments??
I have only 260 subs, of course I reply to comments. ;) I reply to every comment I get, gonna do that for as long as I can. Thanks for showing your support. If there is every something you want a video about, just comment it. Maybe a what to look for when buying a Ranger would be helpful for you?
@@DoinitwithDoug I would like to know what to look for on my way into your bedroom
At 8:15 - keep cutting pieces off until the board is long enough. It works just as well that way for me too!
Who needs a tape measurer lol
Nice! Just posted our truck bed vid also. Love seeing all the styles and how everyone builds them!
I'll check it out!
The truck video, not the hacking my GF Instagram, that's some psycho shit. lol
Brilliant!
The dog making an angry face😂😂😂😂👍
Shes a great actor.lol
Love the videos man keep up the good work. What part of Colorado are y’all in? My little sister lives in the Rangely area.
Hey! Thanks man! I actually just moved back to Michigan. There will be a video about that soon. Thanks for tuning in!
would love to see an update! maybe a video just on how it works. maybe a tour of it in action/loaded and in camping mode? including what you would have done differently. this looks like exactly what i will be doing.
I dont have the ranger anymore, but I am about to do a similiar build in my newer f150. New Video soon.
Great job on the build and also the video
Thank you man!

Buen vídeo 👌 gracias 😃
Contento de que te haya gustado!
Great video.. and First guy to honestly show his fuck ups on UA-cam. Everyone else edit it out jaja
Where is your spare tire Doug?
Hey man I’m doing a build similar in my truck, and I was wondering how much this whole set up cost you to make?
I live in Colorado where materials are crazy pricey, but I spent about $250 on the build. I bought everything new though, so if you can source some wood and maybe some carpet I bet you could do it pretty cheap. Thanks for watching Charles.
Do you have video that shows the finished bed?
Not yet, a lot of life changes recently and havent finished her up yet.
Okay but where are putting the Grom?
I don't have a Grom but if I did, I would probably be riding it in summer, in which case I could just pull my topper. I also have a trailer.
@@DoinitwithDoug you’re supposed to be getting one with me and Stefan. This is the first video I’ve seen and it’s pretty good. Hope you’re doing well.
@@Anthillock Oh dude! I didn't recognize you by your username! Thanks for watching my man. Hope you are doing well, we will get Groms one day lol
@@DoinitwithDoug It’s my name in alphabetical order lol. Hey no problem. I plan on watching the others too.
Where part 2 at?!
Grand junction Colorado???
Close to. Gunnison area.
How’d the camping turn out?
I never got to go. Life has been nuts. New video soon.
I’ve watched 7 or 8 of these videos. The lack of L brackets concerns me.
Thats fair. It was pretty snug in there. Defiantly not perfect, but worked awesome for me.
Love your great attitude my friend and those sweet tires you are running, what brand are they?
Thank you buddy. They are Geolander MTs
