Nice setup, I'm glad that you have a fire extinguish. It might be better if it's easier to access, that's one item I forgot to add. This is why I watch these videos. Thanks 😊
One of the best fly fishing channels! I’m from Texas so we mostly fish for carp and crappie and also bass ! love the videos man! those small streams you fish would be a dream for me!
Very well thought out set up Drew. You can tell a lot of experience, (and off road miles), went in to getting this all right for you. Thanks for the info. Makes me want to try this on my wife's Subaru!
Drew - luv the videos. Here’s a link to a back seat storage DIY system that I put in my Tundra. Took the back seat out (took 15 minutes) and replaced it with a system that I found on Fine Homebuilding. Tried to paste the link but YT doesn’t like that. Google “fine homebuilding tool storage extra cab pickup”. Best thing ever! Also comes out in 15 minutes - held in by gravity. Since I put it in 10 years ago, I’ve only missed my rear seat when I’m ferrying back and forth from take outs to put ins and have a couple of buddies - one draws the short straw for a ride in the back. Turns out to be a great place for wet hunting dogs as well - built in kennel.
Nice set up Drew. I made a front window screen, copied Crazyquady. Cut screen to size, used gorilla tape to make frame and velcro to hold in. I like to remove it so I can stick my rods through. I stuff a pool noodle in between cab and shell to protect. rods. On my last truck I swore to myself to get a taller shell. I told myself to get over the the stream line look of the cab high shell and get a raised top. I don't want an awning off the side. I run one off the back like you do. I have a easy popup sun shade tent to store, fire wood, and keep my cooler out of the direct sun and heat of my truck. I also set up a self standing awning, hang a couple wall side tarps as a wind break and set up my kitchen under that. That way I don't have to pack everything back up to road trip a couple miles down the river from camp. I can set a chair, couple tables and kitchen under that and stay out of the sun and rain. Cheers
Nice set up! For saws, I recommend silky saws. Can’t go wrong with those. A little pricey, but work just as good as a chain saw and can cut like through 10+ inch logs like a hot knife through butter. If u come across a fallen tree blocking the road, a large silky saw is the way to go. Don’t have to carry a chain saw. Good safety measure to have on board when navigating backcountry of Idaho
I had it behind the seat but it just gets in the way or had stuff piled on it. Feel like the only time I might need it is when cooking so the slide would be out!
Nice set up! Beautiful area! N. Ga is home base, totes are great for keeping Stuff dry when the morning dampness is thick . I can access my fire extinguisher as quickly as my personal protection. (Well, almost. I don't carry a fire extinguisher on me..😁. ) Liking the fishing? Little more juice coming up the line? I have to renew registration and that requires emissions...in Ga. So I guess next is fishing up the east side with my yak! Tight Lines and clear cold water!
Great to see the new rig. I know we chatted a long while back about Colorados when you were setting up the old rig. I got my 2016 extended cab new and it's still going strong. Im doing one of those half cargo topper thules on my rack and just having that place to throw my trash, wet boots, even a few pieces of wood, or whatever I want out of the way kind of makes a nice garage area. You'd probably still be able to do the kayak up top and rod tubes with either a half basket or cargo topper. Ive got the thule, and I can run a half basket and awning all at once.
Could you provide information about the rack on top of your bed shell. I pretty much have the same setup as you but found the available racks overly expensive.
It's a thule...so also the expensive type. I don't know of any cheap ones, especially if your topper is warranties. Mine is so I went with the same brand as the tracks
Hey drew awesome video man!! Love to see ideas for a setup. Noticed the zr2 bison truck… I’ve been looking to buy a great off road truck! How has it treated you? Has it been reliable and gotten the job done or would you reccomend something else?
I absolutely love it. Haven't done much off roading yet but the ride, especially on forest svc roads and road tripping (8k miles in 2 months already) is super comfortable. One of the reviews I saw on UA-cam was that is was a well mannered daily driver with enough attitude to be a serious off road machine when needed. I think that's a perfect description!
Well done. Love your videos. I just got a Chevy Colorado and love it! I’m in Missoula, MT. Fly fishing heaven! Question: How do you keep dust out of the truck bed/topper when driving the dusty dirty back roads?? One of my favorite places requires 50 miles of backroads.
There are a few bed seal options. I used truck seal x but results aren't great. I still get some dust but not enough to not be liveable. Spent 9 weeks this summer on dusty roads out west and it wasn't terrible!
@@LooknFishy thanks!! I’m looking for better options, but if you say there’s only a little dust, you might have the best available. I had to resort to packing EVERYTHING in plastic tubs, wipe out the truck bed with a towel, and reset every time I moved elsewhere. I’ll start with a gasket and go from there. Thank you!
Thats an awesome camper setup man! Love the big slide out drawers. You'll have to check out my truck camper build on my channel! Keep up with the awesome content!

One word describes you. Dedicated. Keep up the great work!
Haha...I heard, working too hard!
Nice setup drew, that's right up my alley, I always say the more organized you are, the more you will be fishing,and relaxing. Thanks for sharing 👍.
You got that right!

Very cool! That seems like it would help with cooling and ventilation too!
Thanks Drew, got some great ideas for my truck. Stay safe out there and we'll see ya on the water. Oh, your head is looking better. LOL
haha....it definitely feels better!
Nice set up!

Nice organized set up Drew, thanks for the walk thru..
You bet!
Always enjoy checking out your setup! Very cool, Drew. Tight lines.
Much appreciated!
Thanks !
Maybe… a more accessible
“grab it “
location for that fire extinguisher?
I had it behind the seat but it just gets in the way or had stuff piled on it. Feel like the only time I might need it is when cooking so the slide would be out!
@@LooknFishy Good point -
Very well engineered and organised, Drew. 💪
Thanks! 👍
Awesome and helpful information thanks for sharing Drew!!!

Thanks! Looking forward to bringing my kayak on some trips this year.
I like your setup! Nice to see a video about a real world camping setup. New subscriber here!
New set up is sweet
Been good to me!
I wish my bed on my Tundra was bigger than ~5.5 feet. The only way I fit being 6'2" is with the tailgate down. This is a great setup.

I can see how that would be helpful. I'd still like a basket especially for storing extra fuel and water!
Give that postal bucket back!😉
Super setup!!! 👍👍👍

Thank u, definitely working for me!
@@LooknFishy 👍
Just found your channel and subscribed, very informative.
Nice truck. I enjoy watching the videos. Uhm, interesting use of the white tub, which looks to be from US Post Office.
NICE JOB
Thank u much!

Make a trip to fish the greys, fully dirt for about 80 miles from alpine to la barge definition of trout fishin
Nice !
Thank u!
Nice job! Do you have any kind of gas detector that you use while charging your battery? Or do you charge it outside of your truck?
No, I only charge it while I'm fishing or with the topper open.
Where'd you get the mosquito net setup?
What shell is that one? Lookin to do the same on my 6ft 2020 xtcab
It's the basic leer model...100xr maybe. It wasn't on their website but when I called the local dealer it was the cheapest they had.
That's a bold claim considering how many overland channels there are...
😊

Tux man, I did...need some more beach truck bed camping in my life!
@@LooknFishy beach camping is the best haha I’ve heard Texas has some badass beach camping and I want to make it down that way at some point!
Have you read the fines and penalties on your mail tote when not used for USPS purposes?? Federal offense! Or don’t laws apply to you??
Do you also carry extra fuel like you did on the Nissan truck?
