What? This is by far the prettiest one I have ever seen and everything is in there you would need. I love it.

[@aldinapiscatelli8989]

Like the color of the wood. Arranged very well.

[@kamikazekunze]

Great build. He should add an overhead garage door gasket to the bottom of his door and the top of the tailgate to help seal it up.

[@wildboundcabincompany5882]

Good catch! This is on the list of future projects!

[@carolyntanner6517]

Exactly. Needs that.

[@scottca9780]

It's nice to see one of these that (presumably) didn't cost more than a small house.

[@livableincome]

Very sweet. And I like the idea of having wood around me instead of the 'sleeping in a tin can' feeling vehicles bring. Nice boy.

[@wildboundcabincompany5882]

Thank you! Yes it is such a great place to be and camp in!

[@dmwi1549]

Great rig. This guy can go just about anywhere a big dollar over-landing rig would go and be just as comfortable! Fast forward 20 years. Will this guy say remember that old rig I had? I sure do miss it, and the simplicity, and not making a payment!

[@LCADV]

Love the Cabin Vibes!

[@wildboundcabincompany5882]

I’m glad to hear it! I am always trying to capture the cabin vibes

[@techtech2333]

Cool bro

[@lawrencek9748]

What a cool little truck cabin! I'm kinda surprised it doesn't seal up a little better at the tailgate, seems like it'd be easy to add some weatherstripping on the tailgate and keep more heat in 👍

[@wildboundcabincompany5882]

Lawrence, that’s exactly right! So far it hasn’t been a problem, but that’s probably something we will seal up in the future

[@ritawilson8762]

Good job. It is beautiful. I'm 69 and have a truck cab too that my husband and I built. I'm camping right now in January in Oklahoma. I love my camper.This will be great to see other people's rigs.

[@metaglypto]

I have a 6.5 foot bed on a Silverado, and I am 6'2". You never know what will fit in a small space until you try. I have two stacked storage bins that double as a desk inside during bad weather.

[@Topgun-0331]

Hey, I also have a "98 Silverado 6.5' bed. I'm getting ready to do a Build. I'd really like to see yours.

[@metaglypto]

@@Topgun-0331 I don't have any recent pictures. I can tell you I found a 31 inch wide bed frame made by Zinus (I think), found on amazon. Also a 31 inch wide folding 6 inch foam mattress. I could send some old pictures, but a lot has changed.

[@metaglypto]

@@Topgun-0331 I also have plastic storage bins that fit under the bed. The frame has some cross braces that work well for a second shelf under the bed. Fridge is all the way forward, next to bed. Then two larger plastic storage bins, that when stacked, make a fine desk. I now also have 200 watts of solar up top that powers the fridge, and other batteries.

[@camt1818]

Well done. Usually wood campers are a little hokey, but I love this one. Impressed by the simplicity of everything. Cheap solutions, but brilliant! Well thought out for sure!

[@wildboundcabincompany5882]

Thanks a lot!

[@cynziaself7585]

Got an idea for the tailgate, take a foam thing that's used on pipes so they won't freeze. It's spliced perfect to go over the tailgate edge for weather proofing. 🙎

[@MountainRoots]

Nice truck cabin build! Thanks for sharing the walk-around 🤙-Josh

[@jorgerivero9460]

Dude that little cabin IS awesome the only thing you need is a coffee maker and your set cool little camper man 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@wildboundcabincompany5882]

You're absolutely right, Coffee is King. I usually have a french press or aero press with me so no need to worry!

[@icusawme2]

It would be nice if you could put an awning over the tailgate.

[@wildboundcabincompany5882]

Yes! An awning over the tailgate would be great!

[@uncle_creepy2743]

Yes mine does its nice during rain or snow

[@jamesrogers4674]

He should build a bottom half so if he takes it off the truck it will be a cabin on it's own. If he has extra materials he could build it out so they ahe evenly.

[@raccoonlittlebear6476]

What an inspiration! That does it! I'm going to build something like that on my little truck! Great vid, thank you!

[@wildboundcabincompany5882]

Do it! You’ll never regret it! Send us pictures we’d love to see it!

[@Chris-ut6eq]

Love the build! As you pulled back the camera so we could see the truck/camper in the snow, and my first thought a tiny woodstove would look awesome. A stove that you could put in when camping and take out so you could haul stuff with the TRUUuuucCKK! Well done! Also was thinking it would be funny to build up your three battary batterybank and how it never runs out of power etc.......then cut to the three AA cells for your LED lights. Would make me LOL for sure. :)

[@turisteandoentexas]

Wow How genius!!! My husband and I have been traveling and we are looking for the best way to do it, a vehicle that we can camp at. This is a great idea👏👏👏

[@antondefense3325]

Love the way your framed the roof.

[@bobholmes65]

Awesome! I like how cozy it is inside. The ceiling and woodwork is beautiful! The lights add to the aesthetic warmth of your creation. I love it.

[@johnhuff393]

Glad you responded to Austin, a great innovative build with plenty of creative designs.

[@adamadams6740]

Great stuff!! The old billboards come in handy I used a half one to cover my chicken coup(fun enough and completely on accident was add for fried chicken place) lol

[@whitleyrobertson7070]

Love that you are including all these great ideas others have built.

[@char81998]

Nice set up, really good looking inside, that makes the attitude even better

[@twayland6186]

The cabin style interior will forever be my favorite

[@clammi]

I so would do a vid with you and our DIY rebuild Truck Camper. But we are all the way on Vancouver Island. Always watching your vids my friend

[@livableincome]

Hey Clammi, Saanich here. We are going camping tomorrow for a birthday party. Who needs to travel far when you live in paradise? 👍👍👍

[@rrr_rozell7992]

Foldable shelves, artistic design.....love it!!!

[@benjones8977]

You should update to the wave 3 heater. You won’t have the condensation problem.

[@brada1997]

What is a wave 3 heater? I'll try searching it

[@benjones8977]

Greetings from Pontassieve, province of Florence, Italy. I own a Suzuki Jimmy 4x4 with a 1.3 LT m13a petrol engine from 2001, all original, which I use to go to the countryside, woods and mountains along the agricultural and forest roads used by timber companies.

[@bosse641]

Such a cozy and lovely little camper. Would love to have one like that.

[@ashpal1484]

It's awesome. Small, functional, cozy.

[@paulgardner4931]

Wow that's a cracking job you've done.

[@wildboundcabincompany5882]

Thank you!

[@MadameRosaFortuneTeller]

Love that build - I sure and down to MOB and I am motivated too!!!

[@zackdemundo]

This recalibrated some of my expectations/assumptions. Building and launching a rig need not be so expensive and complicated as to remove the purpose - which is to get the heck out of Dodge whenever the notion strikes. well done.

[@tamonettX500]

I love my little solar light. I can plug it in to recharge it if there's no sun

[@robchenoweth5314]

Great build. Really impressed.

[@jamesmartin3533]

Everything looks good in that little cabin canopy except for you might have want to invest in some weatherstripping and a deadbolt lock on your door but besides that everything else is awesome

[@sheilacaine3962]

That was awesome. I like cozy.

That is so cool if my Dakota was 4x4 I would have to do something like that!

@DOWN to Mob Overland,have u thought about converting a small truck bed converted into a trailer,then install a camper shell on to it?. U'll b able to carry more essentials.

[@Przyhodnik1]

Kick ass build sir.

[@drewevans6908]

Love it, quite inspired. Have the same sized bed and have an idea to create a hybrid cabin using some of your ideas, thank you. Can you tell me how you attached it to the bed?

Im 6'5" so my f150 will have to do, But that is a cool camper

Civilization means standing up to put on your pants. It has to pop up in some way. Even if it's just a skylight or a butterfly hatch.

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

Very well done! I love that green color, too.

[@brycehongola2425]

I would have made the cabin taller with a slant storage over the cab. More aero dynamic. uld

Big plus for cluttered interior

[@renepesina9895]

Sweet camper thanks for sharing you got idea I've might steal some Godspeed to u

[@carolhewett3756]

Your roof is a modified hip roof and I've never understood why this design isn't used more often. It looks great. The wood boards should be sufficient for insulation. Maybe a 12v heating pad would help in cold weather camping combined with a good quality sleeping bag. I have a 1995 Toyota Tacoma and I want a mini cabin just like yours.

[@wildboundcabincompany5882]

Thank you! and yes, I am a big fan of the roof, it turned out really good. Get in touch, we can do a build for you!
