Budget Overland Tundra Update Walkaround and Camp Setup

[@cristian868686]

Refreshing to see a video for regular people that isnt trying to sell a bunch of overpriced sponsored items. Great inspiration for my Tundra build, thanks

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks for watching man. I feel disingenuous trying to sell BS products that I wouldn’t use in the first place. Keep it simple

[@Danny-of3sz]

Finally a video that is straight to what you actually need, now I feel better about being able to do a build without burning through unnecessary money just to overland.

[@ASeventhSign]

Best real world build walk-around I've seen in a long, long time.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Shoot thank you that really means alot

[@jawaring]

Dude you aren't an Overlander, you're real off-road explorer. Got exactly what ya need, nothing you don't 100 - Those Tundras are strong rig too. Shoutout to the White Dog

[@Whitedogoverland]

That’s a winning comment right there my man, appreciate that recognition a lot. I try to stray from the norm of this niche so when people pick up on that it makes me happy

[@lucacadianalbert]

absolutely love this video - great setup you have there. minimalism is where it's at. "Overlanding" has became a game of who can bring the most sh|t-you-will-never-need out on the trails.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Forsure, it’s about products now not experiences. Kinda sad but I think it’s only a small minority with these over done vehicles.

[@peke2283]

I love how simple you keep your camping set up/gear. Love your videos bro! Keep it up✌🏼😬

[@Whitedogoverland]

Less is more as they say!

[@jezzie1965]

I always thought I was the only person who didn’t need all that junk that other channels promote I am very basic my ancestors traveled on horse back with dried meat an arrows and a long gun 😂😂

[@3smoke]

I've been taking fresh fruit, potatoes, carrots, and onions, and never needed a refrigerator.

[@GamingHouseCinema]

Sameeee. Got rid of my roof top and invested that in a awning, a gazelle, and a small Amazon special awning shower room for the wife. Still have plenty of money left over from selling my RTT and was looking at the roam until buddy said they’re goofy 😂

[@cowelk]

Great job explaining what you need and not what you had that you wanted. I have a JL Wrangler Unlimited Sport. So, not nearly as much room as you have. My set up is similar in that I carry recovery gear, a camp box with kitchen stuff in it, water, a Coleman two burner stove that probably should be a one burner since I don't use two at the same time, and I either sleep in the Jeep or in a tent. I do have a roof rack that holds my Roof Bag which holds my tent, sleeping bag, sheets and blankets and clothes. So pretty basic. My go to camping food is peanut butter, canned soup, and other nonperishable foods because I have a cooler not a refrigerator and ice melts. I do like your choice of ribeye. I, too, could eat that every day. I should bring some along for the 2 or 3 day trips. I don't use paper plates but use an old pie pan for a plate and have a spoon, fork and knife. I also have a cast iron skillet and a pan for the soup. I should probably get a steel bumper for the rear of my Jeep so that I could have a swingout to hold extra fuel. My two Jerry cans take up a lot of room in the rear and I found out they are too heavy to put on the roof rack when I am bouncing around the desert. So, yes, like you, I could get a lot of cool stuff that would be nice and look good but I don't need it. Thanks for the walkaround.

[@OXFOOT]

Love the build. Just picked myself up a double cab tundra after years with a 4runner.

[@Whitedogoverland]

So much better going full size, you’ll never regret that switch

[@redhotocelot8169]

you're very genuine and honest. this was great to watch and i love how resourceful you were with your build. this truck def gets used and it shows, very cool! the only suggestion i would have is a phone mount. you can get cheap ram knock-off's for $20 and then come up with a stable mount solution. thanks for the inspiration.

[@Whitedogoverland]

I’m really glad you enjoyed the build video, and thanks for those words that means a lot!

[@Peccs91]

Love the simple setup, from one Rock Warrior owner to another!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks brother, these trucks are killer!

[@kwmoore3464]

I like the way your set up. It gives me an idea or two for the rare times when I stay out overnight. I turned 70 last week so it's more difficult to offroad, but sometimes I just have to grit my teeth & do it.

[@dhu1042476]

Making it work where it counts. Cant beat that!

[@larrywade7556]

Love the setup. Too many people think they need to buy all the high end stuff just to go camping a few times a year. I'd rather spend that extra money on fuel to go out more often.

[@Bigsky1886]

I like your rig

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thank you!

[@Brad-qu4kz]

Great video! New subscriber here. I watch a ton of overland videos but really like all the practicality! I do alot of day trips but want to get into this stuff more. Keep the vids coming! Thanks!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thank you so much, I’m really trying to push the simplicity of what this hobby really should be. It doesn’t have to be so commercialized and over complicated!

[@nicolaiuppa480]

Greatest tool you need over landing is common sense. You have that X10 Subscribed I enjoyed it

[@Whitedogoverland]

I try to have it here and there! Thanks for the sub!

[@basebalful]

Great job on the history of your former truck's son. Should have kept that little red Taco great little truck. Another awesome job of filming. Love you Pops!!

[@wesrennells910]

This is the first video I've seen of your channel and as a fellow Arizonan what's up brother and I love your camp style it's simple, bare bones and down to earth keep it going 👍

[@Whitedogoverland]

Glad you enjoy it my friend, I try to keep it real and simple on this channel! Thanks for the sub brother

[@ryang6k]

To me that truck cap is the most interesting part

[@ajachase6211]

Cool video, I like the way you think 👍

[@mknives8472]

flip pac is awesome ! I would love to have one

[@jmathre44]

Very informative video. I like your budget mods and common sense approach, as far as what works for you.

[@epic_warrior5627]

i like the simple setup ....i love my tundra rw very reliable , I'm still looking for a bumper like that , I had kings 2.5 suspension w/ 700lb spring for a long time but i didn't like the stiffness of it. recently in FB marketplace got a set of new fox trd pro suspension and the icon add a leaf for the rear for $1600 that soon ill install . good job on the content !

[@Wilderness_Recon]

Great job with the setup. I overland a 2011 Ram 1500 myself and could not agree more with your just send it comment. If you aren't afraid of pinstripes there is nothing better than a full size truck. Plus it can pull my atvs! Lol I only disagree with holding the phone. Did that many years and just got annoyed with it. I went with bulletpoint mounts which I found reasonably priced and lived the no drilling install. Looking forward to the next video man!

[@guitar14]

I felt like I was being attacked while watching this entire video. Haha. Well done, sir.

[@paulburdick435]

awesome video brotha ..thanks for keeping it real with what you need and whats a waste of money!!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Always my man, appreciate the support!

[@adamr8628]

I just bought a 2007 Tundra Crewmax. BDS Lift, 35 Toyo MTs, aftermarket wheels and other upgrades. Excellent condition. Paid $2600 for the truck.. The wheels and tires were more than that. The suspension was also more than that. So I got a real budget build that someone else built!

[@Whitedogoverland]

That’s always nice, not having to put in the sweat and money and time. Hoping you meant 26k and not 2600 or id be one hell of a jealous man! Lol

[@overlandtowater]

When you brought up the roam boxes, I think I just met my new best friend!! LOL

[@mikelabree]

Great look at your stuff. I’m totally new to all this and am confused by all the high priced, high tech gear. And I’m lazy like you as far as cooking. Thanks for the video.

[@Whitedogoverland]

I’m glad you can take something from this. It doesn’t have to be over complicated or over priced. Just gotta do it

[@DanielIvan707]

Nice setup man!

[@petersager3540]

Hey great ideas on a 2nd gen Tundra! Im currently switching from a 1st gen dbl cab Tundra to a 2nd gen dbl cab Tundra. I was concerned about the size difference but it is hardly anything that'l make a difference. And the 2nd gen turning radius is way better and it has 4.30 rear end and Atrac ! Great videos, dig your style man!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks man! You’ll enjoy the heck out of the new tundra, I’m not going to lie, if I had to do it over it would be a first gen. I love my truck a lot but my dad had an 01 with over 400k and no issues. The size of those is also perfect, but if you need bigger accommodations this truck is perfect for you

[@jacobkoder4903]

I paid $120 for my Amazon headlights. No halos. Just black inside with chromed reflectors for the lights. They look great and they're simple. If they die in a couple years I'd definitely get the same ones.

[@Whitedogoverland]

I wish I could say these are great, but they’re not, dim projectors and led strip already stopped working as DRL’s. I would not buy these. They look good but that’s about it. Stay blacked out oem

[@jacobkoder4903]

@@Whitedogoverland good to know. Mine haven't gotten water in them at all yet either. Pretty happy. Thanks for your content.

[@robertottwell605]

Keep it simple. That’s the fun of camping.

[@SeanStewart88]

Yeah, I love my $40 rocker camp chair. Haha. Had too many of those cheaper ones fail.

[@Whitedogoverland]

My wife bought me a fancy chair, I left it by the fire overnight. Fucker caught fire now I’m back to my Walmart chair

[@SeanStewart88]

Ha, that sucks man. My camp set up is a basics as hell. No roof top tent, no truck canopy. Ground tent with a nice sleep pad, chair and fire pit. Rocking a 2017 double cab tundra though.. sold my Tacoma for it and I couldn’t be happier honestly. Kids like it too. How’s the rav4?

[@alexbroschat6816]

Great video buddy!

[@FreddieBmx1]

Hahah you’re the shit dude. Loved this whole video and everything about it. Keep on keepin on

[@spindrift2719]

Man for GPS nothing beats a Bluetooth ear piece while driving and phone mounted on a steely mount (I have the old ball and socket mount but they have newer better mounts ) You can listen to directions while not interrupting music and since it’s in your ear you don’t miss any instructions/directions .

[@anthonymariano-mp9ep]

I like your truck it's a tundra I have a tundra I'd like to set it up with a flip top camper like u have mainly so I could take the wife with me. So I subscribed to your videos so I can see how it's done before I I jump into all of it in the meantime u hang in there stay safe and enjoy your time.out there thanks for your videos

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks for watching! I’d suggest an older camper to stay on budget, new stuff is far too over priced for what they offer.

[@dimitriwaardenburg4631]

Awesome Video 🤘

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thank you!

[@corypatterson9905]

You’re my hero

[@Whitedogoverland]

[@ditto6608]

Very nice budget build and seems like you have your bases covered. What do you do for showers on the trail? I sprung for a jug of water, cheap 12v pump and a propane heater when they went on sale. Your wife would love it

[@Whitedogoverland]

It’s pretty grungy but I prefer to stay gross haha. Sometimes I’ll hit myself with some baby wipes when I get really putrid but nothing like washing that post 4 day camp trip stink off you at home.

[@WeiseGuy91]

Love the video. Just found your channel, as im searching tundra builds for inspiration. This was great. I do hope audio improved in the future. That lav mic for the walk around is picking up everything, your breathing , etc. Gain is too high or the mic may be a bit cheap. Would love a minor investment to improve that if you haven’t already. Video is a bit tough on the ears otherwise. Still watched till the end though! Great walk around!

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks! Yeah my audio was terrible last year, I was using those rode mics but upgraded since then. Audio is probably the most important piece.

[@deckmo69able]

I appreciate it! I have the same truck

[@Whitedogoverland]

They kick ass!

[@bostonfehmib]

That tent actually great! Where can I find something like that?

[@Whitedogoverland]

Thanks brotha!

[@jeffreyjohnston6843]

you called your wench a jack? Oh, I think you put it in writing really quickly. Very good video. I can afford to buy whatever I want, but I am like you why waste money when you can get something cheaper that does the job. I have a little 1983 Toyota that is a great little truck that I will never sale. I have had lots of offers but I know that I would regret it even though I seldom drive it. I now have a Colorado zr2 that I 4 wheel. You sure have done a lot of things to the truck.

[@obrianmcc]

... and you called his winch a wench 🤣

[@MRILANCOHEN]

I love your tent, Can you let me know the brand and where you bought it? Thanks a lot Keep posting

[@zachf6256]

Awesome video. New to your channel. I also have a double cab Tundra. A 2012. 110k miles on it. Did you change out your power steering rack yourself? (I have blown mine once already). Had a local yota overland shop swap it. They dropped the front diff to gain access. Appreciate the thoroughness of your content.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Welcome! I did do the steering rack myself but it was a huge PITA. Probably could have saved a lot of time dropping the diff right off the get go but spent a full day trying to get it out on its own. Not a fun job but totally doable. The 09-12 had a steering rack epidemic so hopefully replacement should cure any steering issues for some time.

[@zachf6256]

@@Whitedogoverland hey thanks for the reply! Yeah from what I have read, it seems likeit is quite the job. Although I am more competent than most on the tools (tradesman/electrician/wrench turner)…from my understanding there is a lot of work involved. Apparently “dealership shop book time” is 19 hours. My shop did it in 7. Out the door was approximately 2500 with a remanned rack and labour. There doesn’t seem to be much content online and KZbin regarding a DIY swap. The inquisitive side of me would love to have a more thorough understanding of how to approach it…if I were to tackle it myself - (in the event it should happen again). Any tips / references would be appreciated. 90% of every job is planning. Better to have and not need…than to need and not have 🤙 Good for you for tackling it yourself!! Cheers!

[@aaronsorenson967]

Did you say that's a 2.5" lift? I'm getting near the point of needing new tires, so looking at doing some other upgrades. Trying to figure out what lift and tires to get

[@Whitedogoverland]

Yeah roughly 2.5, in my opinion with suspension less height is ideal. Trucks already big enough, anything more than that is overkill. Also buy once cry once as far as suspension!

[@jermagoochy]

it fit perfect, i had to trim some of the sides down hahaha

What are your thoughts on a Nissan Titan Pro-4x. I wanted a Tacoma and a mid-size truck but ended up with a full-size off-road truck.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Full size is great, don’t have a ton of knowledge on Nissan, being a Toyota guy I’ll say it’s not Toyota but still quality ride!

[@jq5211]

You have the same Tundra cab/bed as we do.. is your Flippac the standard 6.5 length? Wondering if it needed any modifying to fit.. trying to figure out if one on a 1st gen Tundra would also fit 2nd gen.

[@Whitedogoverland]

Sorry for the late reply. You’d need to measure widths, length should checkout if it’s within a couple inches.

The only thing I did splurge on was a good chair, those 8 dollar chairs will bend at the seams under my weight lol

[@sivrxJ]

I have a slightly unrelated question, but what’s the backseat space in this double cab like compared to the backseat of your 2015 taco? I currently have a 2013 double cab Tacoma and thinking of trading in for the exact model tundra you have. Right now I have a newborn and the car seat sits snug in the middle seat. I love the rig, might do something similar if I do switch to the tundra

[@Whitedogoverland]

With my double cab it’s roughly the same as a Tacoma. Not a ton of space but perfect amount for my needs. I prefer the bed space over the cab space

[@sivrxJ]

@@Whitedogoverland yeah that’s why I’m looking more towards the double cab vs crew cab. The 5’ bed on my Tacoma is just too small. Thank you for the reply!

[@jcsigma]

How easy is it to take that camper top off and store it between camping excursions.

[@Whitedogoverland]

It’s pretty much permanent now. I’ve sealed the entire shell to the bed and just leave it on. Not my daily driver so it just sits around between outings
