And when the world needed him the most, he returned. Great seeing your content again! Loving the new vehicle!

[@JohnDoe-xm9ql]

Yep

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

[@BionicOutdoorsman]

Absolutely right

[@mtnyotas]

Man, what a return! Thank you so much for trusting us to help with this build. We can’t wait to see the next videos you have in the chamber from your Alaska trip!

[@alpinetactics]

You guys knocked it out of the park

[@christinerolle3876]

Yup Toyota should pay you for advertising their tacoma. U ROCk it!! Awesome job.Cannot wait for yoir alaska trip!!

[@GatewoodBrown]

Drew is back and he’s DONE IT AGAIN! What a rad build. Definitely something all of us aspire to have in the arsenal one day

[@BionicOutdoorsman]

Im learning a lot from this guy Drew he is Great

[@enjrew]

That front shot of the Tacoma @ 1:00 switching different terrains/shot was really really cool.

[@GoneInTheRockies]

Welcome to the world of Toyotas; you won’t be disappointed! I have such a hard time sitting still even for 5-minute videos and somehow this 33-minute video went by in the blink of an eye. Glad to have you back, Drew, and glad you had a safe trip in Alaska!

[@BackwoodsAdventureMods]

Glad to be a part of this build! Awesome video Drew. Seriously next level.

[@leewinter28]

Drew you are not only kicking serious ass with your Overlanding game but you are inspirational and living the life my friend. Keep up the amazing travels and videos and stay safe this winter!

[@henryramsey1473]

This is by far the best build I have seen in ages. Absolutely amazing set up!!

[@davidwoo8920]

wow, this camper is an amazing upgrade to the jeep. glad you've got it up and running, looking forward to 2024 videos.

[@LuigiL75]

As a Landscape and Astronomy Photographer, THIS is 99.99% my “Dream Rig” 🤯 Well Done! 👍🏾

[@lanceschill75]

You must be SO happy with this build. You've obviously put a lot of thought into the planning

[@DhinCardoso]

Man... the quality of US DIYers is so unmatched... I watch Brazilian (I live here) camper videos and when I reach out the US stuff. PHEW!

[@leadslapdirtnap]

Glad to see you back! You’re my favorite landscape photographer, videographer, drone pilot on KZbin. Be blessed

[@chopwood2995]

That shot he had of the setup with a crackling fire backed by a majestic Alaskan mountain and crescent moon …… I mean Wow! If I was to have a dream poster of what I fantasized about to manifest in my life …. THIS IS IT!

[@rael6_4wd]

You’ve been missed Drew. What an amazing rig! I’m currently a Jeep guy, and I’m gunna miss your Jeep content BUT my last vehicle was a Tacoma and I TOTALLY get it. That truck was definitely the most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned. I’m looking forward to watching you put it to the test. Welcome back! 🙏🏼

[@gestionaerofax]

Imagine with a Gladiator.

[@honsenz.5244]

Among so many KZbinrs who are doing landscape photography/camping/off-road, you are unique. So excited to see you come back! And great to see these upgrades.

[@cowmans]

Great to see you back with a new, fully-upgraded whip! It is absolutely beautiful! For those of you that want an amazing background for your computer - 22:39 onward for amazing desktop backgrounds.

[@TheWeissenheimer]

Just so you know, the FWC propane heater setup does NOT introduce moisture to the interior. The combustion cycle is totally separate from the heat it pumps into the camper. Same as the diesel heater. However I do think you benefit from diesel heat because you can easily go to any gas station any time of night to refill. And you don’t need someone to assist you like with propane

[@DWRECKED91]

The video we have all been waiting for! Just when we thought you had forgotten about us, you came back and TOTALLY REDEEMED YOURSELF. As a fellow Tacoma owner, great build and cant wait for the new adventures.

[@tuckertremblay]

This build is incredible Drew! The amount of thought and effort that goes into everything you do is amazing. You inspired me to build out my Jeep Wrangler over this past summer and spend a month out West! My build and the way I shot my videos is heavily inspired by your style. I have only posted one but I have multiple left to edit. Can't wait to see some new content from you with your new ride. Much love

[@joesalemi2414]

Point of correction: A Mr Buddy Heater is not directly vented. The Propane Heater that came with your camper was vented. They both burn propane but the vented version does not cause condensation. The diesel heater you installed and the vented propane heater will produce the same low level condensation. It has nothing to do with the type of fuel but the direct vented exhaust makes the difference.

[@beatsbyscuti]

I have been watching you for more than 2 years and I can say with confidence that your videos are some of the best on KZbin, thank you for the beautiful video waiting for new videos with patience. Thanks Drew

[@accuratebrickinnovations]

i agree. the cinematography is premium!

[@FrancisSiuChock]

Congrats Drew! Toyota reliability under your foot. Awesome build and I believe this rig suits you really well. Pretty sure Toyota will be tracking you for some Toyota footage! Stay well and safe travels Bud!

[@vinsonw821]

EASILY the most well thought out and built rig out there! Excited to see more of it 🙌

[@switzerland_travel_and_drone]

oh gosh, the first 90sec, wow!

[@calanrenollet9706]

The Godfather of overlanding has returned

[@canobeansyummers1667]

HE RETURNS. Can't wait for what you have in store.

[@lacruiser80]

FINALLY! Amazing build. Perfect mix of utility, style, products, and DIY. Nothing comes even close to the footage quality, dude. You're king!

[@palashtrivedi4390]

Please never ever quit making videos Drew. We just love watching your videos.❤

[@larrygriffiths5039]

So happy you're back Drew!! WOW!!!! that is one awesome rig! Cant wait to see the adventure content you create from it.

[@erikm7608]

Dude, I can’t tell you how stoked I am for your videos. And seriously, seeing you come from a $15 dollar blue tarp to this… you deserve all the success brother!

[@truckcampinglifemag]

This is one of my favorite builds. Nice job my friend.

[@kanittahutamekalin214]

I just checked on the channel a few days ago. I was so happy that today KZbin fed your new VDO and happier to see your new vehicle which has much more upgrade than the old Jeep. I have never experienced how cold like when you camped in the snow because I am Thai where I live is always hot, I believe it must be super cold, so having the new upgraded vehicle is good for you.

[@lda7473]

Missed you Bud! Glad you're back to bring us some awesome sights & experience. Well done on the new rig. Safe travels into new chapter. Much love from CA.

[@NandinaeyNDara]

Oh my god new drew simms video dropped finally. My whole week is made now.

[@chriswooten6843]

Incredible build! Wish you had shown how you entered and exited the camper.

[@oztheglitch]

yeeeaa our boy got an upgrade! seriously tho, when people do projects on youtube and share it without trying it or doesn't talk about the negatives just to come out few months later making a video about fixing problems that basically made the thing useless. it makes you feel like you been lied to. but you tried it out and saw how it worked out before making a video. respects man. great work. keep it up.

[@theyshouldhavenevergivenme5439]

It's basically an infomercial

[@Clay_Croft]

A very good one at that. Props to Drew! Very thoughtful build and intentional. It’s clear he is very experienced with what’s needed and what matters after years on the road.

[@VelcorHF]

What I loved about your Jeep at the end here was that it was so lived in and useful. Love the shiny new build, looking forward to see how it evolves and the cool places you show off.

[@sebastienbonnet8839]

Really great camper and setup. Looking forward to seeing videos of your adventures again. The cinematography is always breathtaking. Happy new year festivities! 🙂

[@JohnWilcher]

Smart move going from a Jeep to Toyota!! Beautiful build!

[@moe_1886]

Amazing setup Drew! I loved the ol' Jeep, but this Tacoma is a massive upgrade and it looks really slick! Belated congrats on your engagement too and love your (big) puppy! Always look forward to your videos... and the wait never disappoints. Have a lovely Christmas and New Year and catch you in 2024! Cheers, Moe 😎

[@ShindeAlok]

Guy gives us real life visuals of all that we only dream of. Incredibly awesome content. GBU.

[@dbv11]

Did I miss the total weight?

[@alpinetactics]

I have never been so excited for a vehicle walk around before and it did not disappoint! Can not wait to your upcoming videos!

[@raphrobm88]

So, how much was it ?

[@auberginebear]

Feels fitting you are showing off your Tacoma truck in front of Mt Tahoma.

[@luidabruin]

I think he went to Alaska 😂

[@agentsidhu]

He is back!! Welcome back drew, this is a really good build.🗻

[@asdfasdf-fg5kx]

tacoma max payload somewhere around 1600, that base camper is 1000ish, add in you, 20 gal water, all the accessories, man how are you not over payload capacity ?????

[@ivayloivanov4791]

He is. Playing with people's lives.

[@paulcollard6634]

How thick are you guys? He literally shows you the massive suspension upgrades in the video 😊

[@asdfasdf-fg5kx]

@@paulcollard6634 which do nothing for payload. do some research

[@just4ivaylo92]

​@@paulcollard6634 his suspension upgrades are irrelevant. Suspension upgrades don't change payload.

[@zamnex2153]

Payload capacity is after 4 adults are in the vehicle, but yeah he’s still probably pretty close to the limit.

[@leejeremy7411]

Welcome to the Tacoma Family, Drew! Always love seeing you doing what makes you truly passionate.

[@frankboyer1490]

RIP your payload capacity. It amazes me how influencers continue to show how little they know about the equipment they use. But hey, keep perpetuating that dangerous nonsense so you can get more clicks.

[@midrangekilla]

omg he's back and stronger. we missed you man. my nights will be peaceful again.. watching your videos before i sleep.

[@AnAmateurAdventurer]

7777 pounds

[@Havingoneofthosedays-]

Did I miss the answer?

[@jacobravenwood7968]

7.777lbs is 3.752 kilos Hope that helps.😅

[@leftystrat62]

As someone whose been dreaming of buying a Jeep, you were one of the channels I would often go to over the years for build information. Fast forward 10 years, still no Jeep; but I did finally subscribe because this truck is totally more my speed. Interested to see the new world of Toyota off road:) cheers

[@MrShockwave123456789]

Dude this is so unsafe

[@fastkw2496]

What is unsafe?

[@raphrobm88]

Why ?

[@almostapodcast5579]

It’s such a disservice watching these videos on a small phone screen. Now I gotta watch it again on something bigger!

[@LucasWoodhouse]

Just this past week I remember thinking "Haven't seen a Jeep camping video from Drew in a while, wonder what he's up to." And here you are. Such an awesome build, if I had the money and could go buy that exact setup, I think I would. Looking forward to more vids soon

[@Portyhouse]

It's funny, I remember when I found this channel ...It was probably the first one that took you through finding the locations, setting up, cooking etc but with words LOL. Most now are all about ASMR it drives me nuts. I was spewing when the video's stopped coming and it was rare to see that at 400K followers. Great to see you back though mate, looking forward to the content from Aus.

[@ialiyahtaylor]

I almost leaped when I saw that you posted a new video. You are literally one of my fav KZbinrs.

[@stevehori673]

Great to see you back Drew. Just in time for winter! Wonderful build, I like that you designed it yourself to meet your needs and the way you travel. Very nice. Looking forward to watching new adventures and the pristine places you visit.

[@joel.ha.]

Dude. This is the most beautifully produced video of any truck camper I've ever seen.... and I've seen tons recently. Well done is an understatement

[@othoapproto9603]

Thanks, someone addressed the break issue, well done.

[@EnglishFlorals]

HE'S BACK! We have missed you but have been sustained by watching your play list until you returned. Your new travelling home looks fantastic. As in everything you do, you put a lot of thought and care into it. Looking forward to your future adventures and seeing the beauty and solitude of nature through your lens with a well earned gourmet meal or Baileys coffee from your new kitchen!

[@germanluque1741]

nunca habia visto una configuracion tan perfecta, todos los que veo son, demasiado llamativos, o no son practicos para vivir, o demasiado rusticos, o lo que sea. Esto es SIMPLEMENTE PERFECTO para aquellos que amamos dormir en la naturaleza. Saludos desde Argentina!

[@stephendoyle3352]

Hey Drew, FANTASTIC to have you back...... the new vehicle looks awesome and you did an excellent job. I've been looking forward your uploads for soooooo long and it just like seeing an old friend again. All the very best Steve in the UK 🇬🇧

[@Dwyer88]

Dude that is a perfect setup! I’ve got a TRD 3rd gen I love mine as well. Thanks for the video it’s always so cool to see how people customize and brainstorm these builds. Really really like this one 10/10

[@calanrenollet9706]

I literally just searched your KZbin this morning because I was like I haven’t seen a video of his in a while. Did I miss something turns out I just had to wait another two hours

[@Reigan2468Farber]

I would LOVE to see the video of you coming to my home. Thankyou for visiting Bend!

[@mikemallery913]

Holy Cppp. I feel like a should get a diploma for trying to keep up with everything you did. you definitely have a Phd in camper builds!

[@lex6463]

This is one of the coolest rigs I've ever seen.

[@karthikeyangnanamani3789]

Easily one of the best camper setup I've seen on a Tacoma. Looking fwd to your new videos!!

[@dwighthouser]

OMG 12-15 videos in 2024 LET’S GO!!! Appreciate you dude!

[@Gomzzzzzzzzzz]

I love your new build drew ❤ I am lucky to have your Jeep for my off-roading adventures 🙏🏻

[@jasonstraight612]

Finally, I get to see someone with defense in mind!!!

[@TruffleYang]

I really like the scenery you photographed. Whether it is towering peaks or winding rivers, they are all full of wild power. Greetings from China.

[@michaelpellegrino3220]

That is an absolutely incredible set up. I've got a 4wd Gen 3 Tacoma with a 6" bed. A great vehicle for truck camping.

[@shirleymckenzie4363]

Congratulations on your engagement. Now back to our great videos. Merry Christmas to y'all.

[@oscarmikedeu]

You did an outstanding job redesigning the interior of the camper. Well done Sir!

[@irishdefense77]

Amazing set up-you’ll be so thrilled with Toyota reliability and capability and toughness.So happy you built out this truck instead of another Jeep product like a Gladiator-have a buddy who bought one of those and the transmission failed at 81K on the way through Wyoming and had to spend 10 days in a hotel while his fully set up truck was worked on.None of those problems with a Taco!

[@redheathan1386]

Amazing editing I kept loving the different locations as you were talking about simple things on the truck! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@rickyricee]

He's back!! Rig is so sick, some insane work put into that thing.

[@AFJWV]

Welcome back! Commenting so the algorithm favors this incredible new video. Can’t wait to see what’s in store.

[@darondatoole7439]

Wow!! The outside of the living quarters certainly didnt prepare me for the excetional interior. You did exceptionaly well.

[@dougdekuiper3194]

Totally love the truck build and camper build. For me I would love somehow to put in a built in toilet and cloth storage under the bed.

[@vincentsmalley3073]

Doesnt matter the vehicle Your content and the way you present it is by Far the best ive ever seen on youtube !! Welcome back 👍🏼

[@nomadchad8243]

thats the best setup Ive seen so far on the youtubes. I think its exactly what I would want and youve got some mad build skills. Ive been building/restoring a 1974 fiberglass Boler and it has taken ya few years to get where i want it. the number of skills you have to learn to do that is a lifetime.

[@nomadchad8243]

I love watching the suspension do its work going fast in the riverbed. It looks very well tuned.

[@Josebamilc]

I have never envied anyone in life but I have to be honest, I envy this guy in the healthiest way possible and by God I always wish him the best, thank you for all your videos, they are so comforting.

[@ChristianSchaffer]

the legend returns!

[@BionicOutdoorsman]

The Legend has Returned yeahhhh u got that right Schaffer

[@Whalien808]

I didn't even realize this was your video when I clicked on it... really nice new build drew. Love all the design details and storage of this camper.

[@4X4trips.]

It's been a while that you post on you tube, but, my friend you nailed it... Enjoy your new vehicle, is an absolute dream!

[@drewolm]

Great build. +1 on the longbed, don’t know why that isn’t more popular.

[@mattobrien2010]

1:20 umm bro........this shot is freaking sick! I'm nearly speechless

[@rudetoy8264]

Oh, look at that beautiful thing FourWheel PopUp camper! I want one build.

[@JonnyRoams]

Dude this is absolutely insane. Tacoma is wild but the cinematography is insane

[@gerard.schneider]

Amazing job Drew! wow. The diesel fuel set up is super cool, a video on how you routed the fuel line safely would be welcome. My guess at total weight - 6100 lbs.

[@ruchiramunjal6061]

Congrats Drew !! So Good To See You. Looking Forward To 2024 Videos.

[@3DogKnight]

We've always had aluminum scissor steps on our truck campers. They work very well. You might want to look into them. I'm very envious of your camper, it looks and functions great. Keep the vid's coming!

[@oskarstaudte]

Man the visuals in this video!!! WOW

[@DinoEvangelista]

Drew! Congratulations on getting engaged! So glad you are back. Love the setup!!

[@realwaltcooper]

welcome back drew! glad to see your good.
