How to Build a DIY Truck Camper Interior From Scratch - Four Wheel Campers Project M

[@kcearnshaw4897]

Dude,you do have major skillz.Thanks for showing everyone what can be done.

[@prospectoverland]

Thank you! Appreciate it and thanks for watching.

[@SAPPER510]

I would pay this guy to do a build for my truck.

[@prospectoverland]

Haha thanks. I wish I had the time and space to do these as an actual business.

[@timsforcoffee]

40 hours to build is nothing compared to the 100's of hours you must have put into planning it all out. Great job! I have a loaded up FWC (about 10 years now). Project M didn't exist when I bought mine. It will be interesting to see what your final build weighs in it at. You will get a ton of use out of your outside pressurized water line. We use ours more than the sink. I hope you built it up high enough to fill bottles, pots etc. I like how you aren't afraid to drill holes in your truck. Screw keeping it stock for the next guy and not getting the value out of it yourself. I look forward to the final build. Four Wheel Campers might be cannibalizing the sales of their loaded up units when people get a look at your quality DIY build. The extruded aluminum is awesome. Easy for you to make changes to down the road if you need to as well.

[@prospectoverland]

Haha so true, couldn’t even begin to calculate all the Google and Amazon searching for parts and pieces, Scrolling through the 80/20 websites etc. I’m going to weigh it and get a new rear leaf pack built in January. It was 8600 lb before the buildout full loaded for a week long trip. I expect it to be around 9k now. I do end up doing most of my dishes and cooking all outside. I have a hose I attach and take it around the corner so I don’t make mud at the tailgate 👍. Thanks for watching

[@rfitzpatrickCO]

You have amazing attention to detail. Those little things make all the difference. Looks great!

[@prospectoverland]

Thank you, I appreciate the comment!

[@gramirez7736]

Dude, your setup came out so clean. Loving it.

[@prospectoverland]

Thanks! I’m happy with the end result for sure. Appreciate it

[@slamsshenanigans2296]

One of the nicest I’ve seen bud!

[@prospectoverland]

Thank you, I definitely tweaked out on it haha

[@661xcursions]

🔥🔥🔥 It looks even better in person! I’m envious of your patience.🙂

[@prospectoverland]

Thanks Mike! Hope to see you both soon.

[@exzachkelly]

Amazing job! Thanks for the detailed step video.

[@prospectoverland]

Thank you for watching it. Hope it helps.

[@exzachkelly]

@@prospectoverland Definitely! I wanted to ask, did you attach the 8020 to the camper wall or just the plywood base platform?

[@prospectoverland]

@@exzachkelly it’s attached to the wood base plate, the factory bench and the wall.

[@exzachkelly]

@@prospectoverland Thanks! Planning my build now and this is really helpful

[@gas520]

looks great. You've got skills.

[@prospectoverland]

Thank you. Appreciate it!!

[@outdoors2wander]

Great job with the build out. Super practical! Lots of great storage and very usable space.

[@prospectoverland]

Thank you for watching.

[@roberthunden1757]

Best diy build I’ve seen. You’re an inspiration and than you for the build list!

[@prospectoverland]

Thank you so much, that means a lot! Glad the build list is helpful.

[@Shaun614]

Awesome write up and excellent craftsmanship! I'm glad you made this video after seeing your post on FB. It costed me around the same amount to customize my build out with the 8020, wood, hardware etc.. The spare tire water tank was a great idea. If I had known about that, I probably wouldve done the same to maximize the storage space below and keep the weight of the vehicle more centered! Great job man!

[@prospectoverland]

Thanks for checking it out and you have a first hand appreciation for building something along these lines. I had been looking at a million different shape tanks and sizes to fit on the inside then i came across this spare tire tank and instantly knew this was the winning ticket. They had just released this 14 gallon because they had previously had a 6 gallon for a while. Thanks for watch.

[@crystaltoledo748]

Great job! Interior looks awesome great workmanship. See you at our next adventure.

[@prospectoverland]

Thanks!! See you guys out there soon.

Such a rad build. Really enjoy watching your videos. Let’s get 4WC trip with others from SoCal! 🤙🏽

[@prospectoverland]

Appreciate it, and I’m down! I have a couple other trips on the books already but maybe we can all get a spring time thing planned and thats far enough out maybe a bunch of people could go

[@WheelinYeti]

[@That_guy_mcfly]

Love the materials. The hexagon material looks awesome. Might have to bug you to see where you got it from so I can use it for my rig

[@prospectoverland]

Thanks for checking it out. All info on all the products are listed in the description if you ever have to refer back to them, But I got the wood at Frost Lumber in San Diego.

[@That_guy_mcfly]

@ thanks man!

[@mannymarin1593]

Nice to see you back doing your thang! I thought you and the Wife may have had a baby thus no videos lately.

[@escsniper]

I think it's because his jerk boss keeps him too busy at work! ;)

[@prospectoverland]

Haha no just busy and actually doing a few trips and events without doing any filming, just enjoying the trip itself.

[@norkisserrano]

Nicely done.

Nice work!

[@prospectoverland]

Thank you appreciate it.

[@nlnl3464]

Very detailed, durable, and nicely finished build. I do wonder how much weight this masterpiece added to your overall GVW. I'm going about my interior build completely differently...I'm in the middle of a flyweight interior build into my Tacoma with an Ovrlnd Campers topper, but one that still includes a powerpack and distribution panel, fresh and grey water tanks & sink, cooktop / meal prep space, fridge, storage, and seating space. I expect a good portion of my storage will end up in the rear seat area of the Tacoma (with rear seats removed) but also still hopeful to store the essentials in the camper. You have me now thinking about the feasibility of fitting in a small, lower power microwave oven. Thanks for sharing your many learnings and excellent build processes here.

[@PhillipDow-is6nz]

Nice work

[@prospectoverland]

[@lightspeedgallery]

Damn man, great job I love it. 👍🏽👍🏽 cheers

[@prospectoverland]

Thanks a lot, cheers!

[@StlrNtn95]

Awesome build! Did you consider a fridge, or do you have other plans?

[@stuckoffroad]

Sure seems like it would’ve been easier to attach that flooring material to the wood before you started building the shelving system. One big sheet you could’ve just rolled on and then flipped it over and cut the edges. Looks good though.

[@prospectoverland]

Agreed, would have been easier, but I wanted the aluminum frame sitting flush with the raw wood surface verse spanning between the high points of each coin bump on the flooring and leaving air gaps for dirt to get under the aluminum. Thanks for watching

[@TreyHarris-s2x]

Fantastic. I learned so much. I'm curious what the width of bench, counter and floor space? Also the height of bench. Thanks

[@prospectoverland]

Thanks a lot! Benches and counters are all 18” deep. Floor/hallway area ended up about 34-35” wide.

[@RS4Ship]

I recently ordered a Tune M1 which is very similar and the main reason I went that route vs something like a Hawk or slide in, is because I still wanted to be able to use my truck like a truck even while going places to camp (kids ride on toys, beach supplies, all the crap we need for weekends on the boat, etc). Curious why not go with a slide in if you’re just going to permanently build out a slide-in “like” setup anyway?

[@4x4ready]

Damn good work!

[@prospectoverland]

Appreciate it!!!

[@mikehlee1766]

Awesome jobs ❤

[@prospectoverland]

Appreciate it, thanks for watching!

[@JJDee]

I like what you did with your water pump and plumbing. I live up north in the bay area and i have a vecel on my rig. So similar set up. Can you help me do something like yours?

[@prospectoverland]

Thank you appreciate it. The parts are all listed in the description. But sorry not in the business of building other rigs out. Just the time and liability in addition to my regular full time job. But thanks for watching.

[@stevestevens824]

you did an amazing job on the whole build great job, but I have one major question why didn't you use some lighter material on other cabinet pieces where you could so to keep the weight down, and again you did a great job

[@andrewauer4215]

Set up is great man, I'm planning a TUNE M1 buildout similar to yours this February. I was curious (and I'm sure you linked somewhere) the two steel corner right angle's you have mounted directly to your bed and seems to function as way to keep the ply base your built nice and snug/tight. I was wondering if it served another function and if you could provide a link to them. (or if for some reason there was a con to them vs pros. Appreciate the vids keep them up.

[@prospectoverland]

They are bed stiffeners. I think these were from RCI or victory 4x4 but lots of company make them if you google bed stiffeners for your model. Thanks for checking out the video

[@greatcrossings]

Amazing!

[@prospectoverland]

Thank you 🙏

[@onthesleeve]

Impressive!

[@prospectoverland]

Thank you. Appreciate ya watching.

[@cornelisooms196]

Awesome build, I’m in the process of doing something similar in a slide in, got the 80-20 but cannot decide about door material, looking at yours, may i asked what is the material you are using?

[@prospectoverland]

Thank you! I think it’s technically called Hexply. Just google hex plywood and it will come up.

[@paulmcmullen914]

Great job! Really like your layout. If you want to remove the camper does it all come out together?

[@prospectoverland]

Thanks! And no there would be some disassembly for sure.

[@solkru]

How do you deal with dust entering through the tailgate

[@robertjohnson1403]

That looks amazing but how far over payload capacity are you now? I have a Tundra with a GFC pop up camper and only the lightest camping items and it is right at the payload with passengers and dog included.

[@prospectoverland]

Oh I’m way over. Was over before this buildout. With full skid plates and steel bumpers, spare water and fuel etc. but I’ve don’t the upgrades to handle it. Massive big brake kit, re geared, Suspension etc. I was 8600 before so I bet I’m 9k lbs now.

[@nighteyergbg]

31:25 you have a link for These switches? The one i have has light 24/7 😒

[@prospectoverland]

The link for it is the description. It’s possible yours is able to be wired like mine. Mine had four wires off the back and I could do light always, light only when button is pushed, or never light up at all depending on which wire I have positive wire to.

[@kodimcpherson1354]

Nice! Where did you buy the ac plug, usb-c panel thingy??

[@prospectoverland]

Thanks! Amazon. Links are all in the description.

[@CKKnifeandTool]

Like what ya did

[@prospectoverland]

Thank you!!

[@irule2nite]

Did you use the entire 1/2 gallon of the Lonseal epoxy?

[@prospectoverland]

No not even close. Only a small portion. But the portions are pre set by Lonseal and no liquid measurement info.

[@nealamesbury7953]

Now your stuff. Must. Fit in your build- wheras I have different sized storage containers,in different places- just want people to think about it,and use it.- B4 building. If it works for u, great. It's all I could do,also, to have the dogs bed,a chair, and the heater. I'll velcro my containers to the shelves, a sink would take up space also- that's in a 8 ft bed. 😊 everyone do what you want. All good.

[@prospectoverland]

Yeah it's all about personalizing your build to work for you!

[@docimma]

Why did you use epoxy instead of regular adhesive for the carpet?

[@prospectoverland]

The carpet??? The rubber flooring you mean? Cause that’s what the manufacture of the flooring material recommends for proper adhesion.

[@JoelWegener-p5w]

Cover those eyes if you want to keep them ...

[@prospectoverland]

Will do, thanks for watching.

[@user-tj3yi9zj4m]

rad!

[@prospectoverland]

Thanks!

[@skysteppes]

Nice build but why not just buy a slide in camper?

[@prospectoverland]

Thanks. Way heavier. Way more $$$. Loose the truck tail gate. Unable to make it “my own”. I like doing all this stuff and a slide in is already done, nothing to make unique for my vehicle.

[@scojosmac]

Water near electrical….interesting

[@prospectoverland]

Google said it will be fine 🤷‍♂️

😮👌🏼🔥🔥🔥

[@ser3100]

@overlandfx4 here. Beautiful build man! Remind me of when i built mine. Next level stuff guys! 🎉🎉

[@prospectoverland]

Thank you appreciate it!

[@MikeKessock]

Awesome but I would not have my big lithium battery sitting under the sink and plumbing, if it gets wet you’ll have heavy metal fire and your truck will be a slag of iron and aluminum

[@prospectoverland]

I did consider that and offset the pump some to the battery location. And I turn the water off when not in use. Or maybe insurance will buy a new one 😬
