[@whodatcanuck3519]

I want to see a weekend crown land camping voyage with both your FJ and your buddy's Landcruiser. Does he still have the '87?

[@stokedtour]

We have one here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haTTqpR3l7-cmNE But yeah we will be doing more this season for sure! And yes he still has the '87 ✌ Really appreciate the support!

Hi friend 😊 I have an FJ and I’m looking to purchase the same roof top tent such as yours with the awning. What model do u have and where did u get it? Thanks for your help!

[@slowhand761]

Overlanding is huge you were ahead of your time.

[@MissionOffRoad]

I also have a FJC and FJ60! Cheers!

[@Carlos1010o]

Finally a good KZbin video for fj cruiser!!!

[@stokedtour]

Thanks mate!

[@junzenology]

videos like these make me want to learn woodworking but i live in an apartment in the city so that's gonna be tough

[@stokedtour]

it was hard for me when I lived in an apartment too lol

[@FragginCap]

Hate the limitations of an apartment. Ended up being a nuisance to my buds by borrowing their garages on weekends. Their wives loved me

[@therobotcooks5374]

Very professional build. Just need some LED lighting in the drawers that triggers when you open them ....

[@stokedtour]

Now that’s an idea

[@1Coolbanana]

Excellent build, great work. Ill have to do something similar with my FJ soon

[@alsaffarstudios]

Nice work, thanks for sharing it with us.

[@cmanofthewoodscentralus3217]

Idea for you. At wood on wood or wood on plastic you can use a light coat of Kit Paste Furniture Wax in the flat can for lubricant. Great system you have. On the screw numbers ( 10-24 ect) these are machine screws less than 1/4" diameter and the 24-32 ect is the thread count per inch. These allow you to have strong smaller fasteners for attaching smaller items and materials together. Thanks again for sharing your video with us.

[@stokedtour]

Haha amazing, finally I got an answer to that question! Also great tips

[@jw415416vw]

Great breakdown, showing every step along the way. And the final product looks great!!!

Thank you my man!

[@kevinrobbins3735]

This is really dope.. I totalled my FJ and am getting a new one. Id love to add some drawers to the back like this. Thanks for such a good video.

[@stokedtour]

Thanks! Sucks to hear that it was totalled but glad you're getting a new one. If you need the dimensions and more build notes, check out part 2 where I go through it in more detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6O2oHZtqb2obNE

Would love to see the write up and demensions please! Trying to finish this before the end of October 2020!

[@stokedtour]

Yes sorry! Currently out west shooting footage for the expedition video, will get on that as soon as I get back!! In the meantime, this is the writeup that I referred to for the two bottom drawers: www.fjcruiserforums.com/threads/rear-cargo-drawer-build.151265/. Hope it helps!

[@stokedtour]

Will be filming the build guide to this tomorrow so hang tight! Hoping to get it out by the end of the week, fingers crossed!

[@Carlos1010o]

👍👍🔥🔥🔥

[@MrScrofulous]

I think I'm gonna build a shallow back draw like your original drawers in my FJ. That will given me some permanent storage for camp/makings gear without taking up too much load space. I will add a work surface for making sandwiches and a brew. I think there is a RTT and a 270 shade coming too.

[@stokedtour]

Great idea. Yeah definitely add the slide tables too, they really come in handy!

[@MrScrofulous]

@@stokedtour Checked out the gallery from the Oz company Tanami. Looks like nice swag ,but like everything else I've looked at , probably bloody expensive. We have been to Whistler to ski 10 times, very jealous of your snow camping. Looking at an iKamper Mini and a QuickPitch shade. We are on the Gold Coast, planning on camping in the Snowies here for more hiking and MTB.

[@chrismai311]

You could do a nice epoxy on the slide outs that would make it easier to slide as well as keep clean if you wanted. Looks great though! How are you liking it a year out?

[@stokedtour]

We are definitely on the same wavelength cause that’s exactly what I did a month or so after making them haha. You’re absolutely right about the ease of sliding and cleaning, plus it looks 10 times better. So I’ve had it for about 1.5 years now and I still love it. The three drawers and two quick working surfaces make any task so easy and clutter free. I go over some more of the stuff I discovered here if you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6O2oHZtqb2obNE

[@tripleemgaming]

Man you like markilplier

[@stokedtour]

i feel blessed by this comment

[@DennisCDiaz]

I'm planning to build a ice chest slide-out like you did for the FJ60. Can you tell me what you used for the plastic slides? Dimensions? Source? Thanks.

[@dwong506]

That is UHMW polyethylene, I got it from Lee Valley hardware in 4" wide by 24" long, 1/4" thick sheets. We then cut it down into strips of whatever size in the table saw. They sell it in pre-cut strips I think also, which can save you some effort.

[@DennisCDiaz]

@@dwong506 Awesome. Thanks for replying!

[@jimjones5530]

Went to your website, write up for the drawers isn't there either.

[@flacoloops24]

Could you please share dimensions! I just got an FJ and would like to build something similar. Including the drawer system in the bottom please

[@stokedtour]

Will be filming the build guide tomorrow! Hang tight!

[@sheelios]

Yoyo long time listener, first time caller. Have you done any back country camping? Any recommendations for compact sleeping pads/mats? My spine hurts.

[@stokedtour]

thanks for calling in and welcome to the show sheelios. Yes, I've done a lot of back country camping as well, and have used a range of sleeping pads. As for what is best for you in terms of comfort, it really depends on how much weight you're willing to carry, and how much money you want to spend. I recently did a coastal hike and used the MEC VectAir sleeping mat and it was very comfortable. At 1.2kg, it sits in the mid-to-high range for weight, and it sits in the middle of the range for cost at $140. I think this is the most comfortable one that I've used so far for hikes and backcountry. As a contrast, Thermarest sells an ultralight sleeping pad at only 430g and it costs $250. There may be small differences in comfort, but these are only ones that people use if they are hiking thousands of kms on a trip, so every gram counts. Hope this helps!
