DIY Jeep Bed-Kitchen-Drawer and Overland Set Up

[@orkuncam8932]

I swear Jeep should pay you for this. Intro is better than every ad they made.

[@aconcernedcitizen8011]

Seriously. I'm in the market for a new suv, and came across this video and I'm like Dang, I'm sold.

[@dalemurrell4062]

Can we please all just stop for one moment and appreciate the level of mastery that Drew has in the video/photography/media space. If you take a step back and think about all of the thought and detail that goes into every single shot it truly is amazing. Drew, you truly are a gift to us here on KZbin

[@drewsimms]

Thanks Dale! Really appreciate hearing that

[@orionsector]

I always notice and appreciate this too!

[@studiobrar1692]

Well, duh! Why do you think we subscribe to his videos? ;)

[@AndreaWitt745]

What a beautiful video! My Grandpa was a camground host at Camp Timpooneke every summer when I was younger. My cousins and I all got dropped off with him at the beginning of each summer and just played, hiked, and swam all day...it was wonderful!

[@Chefbriank]

Iv'e been a JEEPER for 35 + years and feel your repair pain LOL JEEP = Just Expect Expensive Procedures! I was in your neck of the woods in 2001 and almost ran out of gas on the Salt Flats and found that little gas station on the Salt lake side of thye flats on 80 just in time with my Jerry Cans empty and 2 miles left on my odometer WHEW!!! Great Build!! Sir! I'm 64 and can't do that stuff anymore but will watch your channel and remember great days in every US state but Hawaii! THX

[@AJ-lm9sg]

I'm not an outdoor guy but watching this really inspire me to go outside more! Thx man!

[@drewsimms]

Love to hear that!

[@irishdefense77]

Glad to see you went the Warn winch.Best there is.That’s what I recommended months ago-I love mine and none of the Warn winches I ever had or have now have ever failed.

There's like 5 channels that when I see a new upload I get actually excited about it, you're one of them. Thanks for the awesome content, it reminds me why I love exploring so much. Also a clean car setup is super satisfying to see🤙

[@staroceans8677]

Your new setup is perfection, and no one should judge you for the absolute astounding layout and secure way you place everything of need. It's fabulous and I keep my fingers crossed and hope that you are never vandalized again or compromised by theft. You're a humble soul, and we enjoy everything you do! SAFE travels.

[@beckygriggs7827]

Drew, you are a guy who knows what he wants in life, you've got everything you need all rolled up in one package. God bless you during your travels, I really enjoy your channel 😊✌✌✌✌🙏🙏🙏

[@drewsimms]

Thanks Becky!

[@BeauTylerMakesMusic]

I’ve wanted a jeep since I was a child and your channel helped tip me over the edge. I’m 2 months in and I’m the happiest I’ve been in years. My little girl and wife love the jeep life so much it has been great for all of us. This weekend while out in the country I let my little girl sit on my lap and steer for the first time and I think she’s told everyone she’s come across that she “drove a jeep!” Lol. Thanks for all of these videos and inspiration. Some channels are more than just a channel and this is one of them. :)

[@jaylems3054]

Drew, I really appreciate the thought and level of detail you put into the build. The maximized organization and efficiency is so important with the limited space afforded in this size of vehicle. Not to mention the careful selection of accessories and components maintain a level of sophistication that surely enhance the quality of the overall experience. What I find equally impressive is the amount of detail, thought, and professionalism you put forth in the video capture and content itself. If you are creating and capturing all of this content solo, this is an enormous task. The creativity and subtleties captured are intriguing and provocative. Thanks for putting all of this together and sharing. We share in the same stomping grounds; I’ll be sure to look out for you on the trails. Cheers!

It's not that i hate you talking in your vid... much feel so much better when you just do your thing without any words. but that's just my opinion. always.

[@danmulkiewicz5515]

Drew, another option instead of cutting a whole in that cutting board for the propane tank would be to add a short length of hose and a hook to hang the tank below the table.

[@ChristianSchaffer]

How about a week long tiny home swap? 😅 I swear every time I watch your videos I want to sell my van and buy a Jeep

[@calebkamei5773]

Try out dude

[@redwhite_040]

But how many times do you go that hard off-road you need a jeep for. Probably 0.5% of all the time. Buying a Jeep is for 99% of the owners show and no go. MPV or SUV with AWD will do the job for most for less money.

[@drewsimms]

Could make for a good youtube video haha

[@michaelfrymus]

I started living out of my 4Runner after watching your videos. It's been a year now. I'm slowly building it up over time. It's so small, so I need to figure out how things should be and where. Your videos helped a lot with this. I want to do the same water setup you have! I wanted a faucet in mine, but had no room, and this looks awesome! I might do that!!

[@ModernDayPilgrim]

Holy Mother of Pearl! That VIEW! Breathtaking. Still watching but had to post quick! Wowowow!! Love your content. Just an awesome, minimal set up. That’s how I roll. Simple. Less is more and clutter free is the way to be when your a Van camper/dweller. Bring what you need, not what you think you MIGHT need, just in case. That’s where the clutter begins. So relaxing to watch your vids. Thanks! 🙌🏼💯😃

[@janices6136]

The world map has New Zealand: I mention this because many world maps leave off my country. I see the new set up makes life a lot easier for you. Looking forward to more adventures from you. Kiwi from Virginia.

Lmao, I was looking for this comment 😆 I'm a Kiwi too

[@wandering_armadillo]

That footage with the yellow flowers in the foreground, the mountains on the horizon and the Jeep creeping along (approx minute 23), that's magic. Quality content and inspiring! Many thanks.

[@jedimasterkyle]

I’ve often told my wife that if I were to do an outdoor KZbin channel, I would model it after yours Drew. Phenomenal footage with the drone as always and I’m really digging the new set up with the Jeep! I’ve always found your videos to be inspirational yet, extremely relaxing. Almost like camping ASMR and if that’s your goal then job well done!! Seriously though, your videos are awesome and I always look forward to seeing your adventures!

[@hamzapars2905]

You can't imagine how you inspired me . even if i care that style , business life does not allow. I hope when I retire i do that stuff

[@masonstruckadventure9368]

I have twin size bed in the back of my pickup and let me say it's been the best sleep of my life but its alot space thinking of downsizing to have the same, more head room and leg room. Sick set up.

[@saras1458]

Liking the new build. I've been toying with trading my van for a Jeep and this is one more point for the Jeep.

[@PineStateOverland]

Throw some plumbers tape on the threads for your water spigot. It’ll keep the drips from happening and your water pump from priming all the time.

I’m at 5 mins and deeply in love wirh everything about this video. Trading my Audi for a rubicon next week with the intention to have what you have. Thank you for helping me see what my dreams can look like.

[@tasnufasharmin7376]

I like that it’s a jeep but you make all your setup with so much precision, utilizing every single space with such perfection. Btw really like the coffee setup and can’t wait to see you are making espresso ☕️

[@drewsimms]

Thank you! Very excited to try out that espresso maker haha

[@ASQDGAMING]

That whole intro was stunning!!! Vids keep getting better and better!

[@brainards11]

I just found your channel tonight and had my coffee and relaxed and watched your perfection to detail in camping and your ability to integrate the beauty of nature at the same time. Thank you for a great evening and inspiration for me to get out and enjoy the simple things in life.

[@starbucks10v3r]

You are the reason I purchased a small 300w jackery for occasional power outages we get during bad spring/summer storms in Texas. So glad I got it, it has come in handy quite a few times! Fans and lamps work great with it too!

[@chrispetrickmusic]

Out of all the things you added, I have to say the bottle opener was the best.

[@jessofthewest9476]

Wow so inspiring! My first car was a 97 Wrangler and I took that thing literally everywhere, lived out of it for a year back in 2004 and had a really fun setup but nothing actually built inside. This is what I was dreaming of!! Takes me back. Also it only cost $20 to fill up my tank then!!!

[@echyadventures]

I absolutely love how you are proof that you do not need a crazy rig to do these awesome trips.

[@IVAO04ify]

Anyone that says it's a waste of space Drew, just remember, this is 'your' build and it's not 'theirs'. You do you bro, this is a beautiful Jeep and you've done an excellent job maintaining and upgrading it. That's what Jeeps are for in my opinion. Not being an urban crawler, here you're able to crawl in the back country while still having all the comforts of the urban world. Brother, this is a fantastic jeep. Well done!

[@СергійЩербанич]

That is so cool. Man I'm from Ukraine, but watching Your videos makes me calm, which is much appreciated in the situation nowadays. There is smth about Your cooking, that makes me hungry every time))

[@streeterbuilds]

Question! First of all, drew, great vid as always. Thank you for the awesome and beautiful content. So- as a jeep camper myself (made my own set up, might post a video, not sure!) I find it EXTREMELY hard to find secluded car camping spots. Maybe it’s the region I’m in (south East), but I can’t find good spots. I’ve tried every app: the dyrt, usfs and blmgc… everything! I am aware I’m probably missing some trade secrets, but does anyone on here have a some tips on great views without the annoyance of public “campgrounds”… I’m talking no running water or bathrooms, something primitive but car accessible. Thank you to any one who read this whole thing 😅

Space is maximised to the fullest! Loving the new build mate 👏🏼

[@ValkenDnB]

Recently just a jeep and that V6 is actually pretty torquey for what it is. So I get what you mean when you say you have enough power to get you places with a mostly stock jeep. We did buy a Cherokee L 4x2 limited since we don’t off-road ever here in Southern California, but once our lease is up and our kids are older we’re probably going to trade in for a Wrangler and finally start off roading a little and going on camping trips. Can’t wait to get out of the house more often. Love the new build and can’t wait for more of your high quality videos.

[@theReality77]

You can't ever catch it. You can't hold it. But sometimes you will get a good picture of it. Like this one.👍

What trail is it

[@rabidhellhound9714]

I know he's sponsored by Jackery and has to plug for them. But oh my goodness! Rechargeable power while camping? Game changer! I bought a 300W Jackery and 100W panel to take camping with me for a week and never regretted it. It's SOOO nice to have power for cell phones, lights, fans, and even a laptop. The only thing I wish Jackery did better (aside from the aforementioned handle situation mentioned in the video) would be to give a PRACTICAL guide on power usage to help customers figure out what size they need. Not electrical engineer math mumbo jumbo. PRACTICAL guides. For instance, recharging my cellphone from took 1% of a 300W power supply. Using a small fan overnight took 2% of its power. Powering a gaming laptop, however? That drained 300W in 2.5 hours. So don't use it when you can't recharge easily. They need to have an EASY guide like that where they give general watts per hour and 8 hours (overnight) of typical times to help people who don't have product manuals on hand to get a reasonable idea on usage and battery size needed. "I know I need to last through the night, so I can plug these 4 things in for 8 hours and be good till dawn before recharging." But otherwise, if you camp and haven't bought one yet, DO SO! Rechargeable power on the road is amazing.

[@TJDawgs72]

A custom hardtop that extends above the back part of the jeep (dropping back down just before the front seats) about a foot to a foot and a half higher would be a perfect set up for you. Then you could add a plywood platform over the top of your electric cooler, which would also add more storage space on the other side above your cutting board…then you could use the entire platform as an inside sleeping option for two.

[@vikasverma7667]

Amazing what can be fitted into the Jeep. Hopefully one day I will overland in my Jeep. Till then I will enjoy the drive!
