Thanks bruv

I was on your other video about to ask about your shell. I just picked up a 99 tacoma yesterday that came with a shell but all black. I want to restore it and do a similar camper build. these videos are really well done!

[@ConnorLee]

Thanks Spencer!

'09 Tacoma and finally got an old aftermarket black shell. Doing the same and this video saved so much cash and importantly time...crazy right/ yet how did your build go?

[@spencereagleton5704]

Nice! Unfortunately mine is pretty old and rotted. Still had some good trips in it but making it nice will involve fiber glass work and I’m not sure it’s worth it. So I cut up a full size metal bed platform for an easily removable waterproof set up. Good luck with yours!

This is a really nice build, surprised this doesn't have more views

[@ConnorLee]

Thanks!

[@kcribari]

Nice find with this camper shell

[@ConnorLee]

I got super lucky. It came with the truck when I bought it two years ago

Great video! I wanted to know how the spray glue has been holding up for you over time? I've had a hard time with the bubble insulation and spray glue on certain surfaces. I am also looking to insulate and felt my topper as well.

[@ConnorLee]

So far so good. I haven’t had any issues with it peeling up

[@jackmountain8503]

Clicked for the shell...saved bills on the break down/plans of the bed camp setup before we even got to the shell, am happy shocked lol🤓

[@ConnorLee]

😂😂love it

Awesome , I’m starting my 1998 Tacoma shell build .

[@ConnorLee]

Get after it! Let me know if you have any questions 👌🏼

[@inthebackyardwithdel438]

@@ConnorLee thank you . I will

[@sinankuniyilathoot5188]

hey great video..would you share what settings or colour profile you had used in the a6100 for making this video?

[@ConnorLee]

The a6100 doesn’t actually have color profiles, though I wish it did. I shoot in 23.97fps 4K at 1/50 and usually 100ISO. Preset white balance. NEVER auto white balance. And I vary between manual and auto focus depending on the shot. I also use a variable ND which allows me to keep my f-stop quite low which is a theme I like to incorporate into my videos.

thank you @@ConnorLee

[@bradbeal1145]

What type of inside liner did you go with?

[@ConnorLee]

Speaker carpet: geni.us/5BTVPV Insulation: geni.us/znARlEc Adhesive: geni.us/tBBrb

[@bradbeal1145]

Awesome thanks!

[@stephengiovannelli1287]

What kind of tint did you use? Are the windows plexiglass or glass?

[@dajushiro]

Im thinking of doing the same with my topper. Total build cost and time?

[@ConnorLee]

Not including paint, less than $200. I had a tech school paint the shell for me, that cost $500 for paint match and clear coat

[@josephoverstreet5584]

How well does that insulation setup work?

[@ConnorLee]

It’s proven to work really well! Quiets down the camper and also provides some padding behind the carpet

[@mr.baofeng4769]

What kind of shell is it? I want to get one for my 99 pre runner.

[@shahrukhsid30]

Second this. Is it a Leer 112?
