I Transformed an Abandoned Truck Into a Home on Wheels

[@SalvagetoScenic]

This is the entire 3 months of chaotic building boiled down into one video, showing the whole process from start to finish. Thank you all for being a part of this first build and adventure! I’m psyched to finish editing and share Part 1 of the next build by Dec 21st! 😃

[@SummerCordova-ny1ci]

Cant wait!! 🔥

[@Super_Fast-YT]

It’s so funny because the day before this video came out I was just looking at your channel and was thinking there’s no way it’s already been six months since his last upload and then bam new video with a peek at the new build. I’m here for it and can’t wait

[@donnaj.1634]

Awesome video. It’s good to see you. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄

[@neverppreciated]

Welcome back! Next video pls☺️ Merry Christmas to you and your Family and ofcourse to all, us the youtuber Family!

[@joshuaturner875]

Who else got really excited to see another build and the start of a new adventure

[@drivingbro]

At 34:20 he finally tells us about the next adventure... Building something new apparently

[@motobikemike914]

So awesome to see you posting again! Looking forward to following your next build or adventure!

[@SalvagetoScenic]

I appreciate you checking it out! I'm stoked to share the next one too!

[@05Elantra98GSGang]

I remember watching and finding bro in IG back in Summer of 2023 and me an my mom watched dude every morning at 5:30AM last fall an Winter while she survived some of her last days on earth and her watching you ski brought back so many memories of her an my dad going to Vermont to ski in the late 80s an 90s when we were babies and it was nice sharing those talks and memories with my mom before her cancer inevitably took her life on Jan 20, 2024… Watching this vid brought back memories of me an her her last few months her man and I’m excited for the new build and adventure!

Your living equipment is really what makes the difference in being able to be out there and do what you want. We weren't able to do this until now unless you were the roughest and the toughest guy in the world and therefore considered a real man. It's incredible to think of what you have on the road with you and how you're able to have it, and there is room for improvement. 1. There are still certain walls that most people never try climbing and that seems to be the use of raw tesla batteries to upgrade your power station. One single tesla model s battery module is 3x12x25 inches 55lbs and anywhere from 4.5 kwhs to 6.1 kwhs of straight juice. On the lower end of things 4.5kwhs is still 2.5x what a bluetti 200lmax is because a 200lmax is barely 200ahs at 2kwhs. One 4.5 kwh tesla battery module is roughly $300 dollars on eBay if you want cool ways to save money and still make a suitable power station. This much power could mean an induction hot plate that's probably just a tad bit smaller than your gas stove but it eliminates the bulky 20lbs LP tank. It could mean running a small portable AC system on your rig. It's a little bit of an undertaking because tesla battery modules need DIY BMS modules, heating pads, charger, and inverter that you have to wire up and test all on your own, because if you let bluetti or ecoflow do it in a nice little streamlined package, then they will charge you the extra $1000 dollars and you will only get 2kwhs of juice which is the problem. My thing is as intimidating as electrical can be if you're already taking on DIY projects then the electrical side is the final frontier. If you made your own toy hauler so that you didn't have to rely on Jayco, then it's just a matter of time before you won't have to rely on ecoflow or chin for a power solution. 2. You can also get a 12v lithium car battery for your rig because they're a lot lighter, hold more juice, and perform a lot better with really high cca, but they are about $300-500 bucks for 60-100ahs. 3. Cassette toilets are intimidating because of the impending hassle. It's a turn off. You think it's the smart move carrying it but it's just taking up space. The best toilet is probably a dry flush especially a portable collapsing camp toilet and a separate pee jug. They take less space and don't have any hassle in fact you would be tempted to use it and that's something you want in your rig. The key to a dry flush toilet is poo treatment powder which unfortunately some were unaware of but is necessary for human waste disposal. It's inexpensive, plentiful and worthwhile. Paying attention to this stuff just means maximizing space on your rig for things you actually want and keeping more of your money where you want it too.

[@imerimursel]

So exited to see you're posting again. Cant wait for more. All the best and take care

[@michaelciceraro7707]

Great video. Most long diy videos are boring after 5 minutes. Not the case here. Enjoyed it very much. I like the remark about how much weight the truck can carry. I'm in the same boat as I just finished my diy truck camper. Apparently you're not concerned about gas prices or gas milage, I'm not either. Enjoy your rig. Stay safe.

[@wildmongoose7037]

I didn't realize how much effort went into your truck build, great job, was really excited to see you put out another video, was missing you man.

[@joshwoods5928]

Great recap! Can't wait for round 2!

[@traildust1189]

Nicely done, I’m sure your parents are proud of you. I have followed along on your adventures and glad to see that you are posting again.

[@tmbocelot]

I was actually a little disappointed that your original build videos were as in depth as they could’ve been. This is a cool recap and I’m looking forward to build 2!

[@LarkRenee]

Watched from the beginning. So excited for the new build!

[@timmerpayne]

Missed seeing your videos! You're stuff is amazing!

[@Chris-et4ln]

Thanks for the amazing and valuable clips, man

[@the.sigma.artist]

Definitely refined processes and learned from last time. Good job! I with I had some of that woodworking skill.

[@Kilianberne]

Wow ! Dude, what a amazing job on that Tacoma, love all the ideas you had to make a cosy home on wheel ! Congrats ❤

[@ThreeForDays]

Missed the opportunity to extend even more storage by extending the cab over the hood! But very good build overall and to each their own. Great job 🎉

[@James-np8pu]

So excited you are back!! Can't wait for the next adventure!

[@hunterkautzer5831]

Amazing video and recap. It’s awesome that you’re posting again.

[@arashsh2001]

I saw you parked on the opposite side of a highway, last winter, when me and my wife took a road trip to Colorado from California. I think it was around Vail if I remember correctly. Those orange skid plates on the back of a silver Tacoma stick out anywhere

[@ryancooper1184]

Glad you are back!!! Lets goooooo!

[@ziterj]

Great project! Nice job on everything!

[@ConnorGuldner]

Captain Overkill is my hero

[@lukesdayoff9753]

Miss you dude. Keep posting

[@questioner1596]

The diesel heater is a nice option, but I've been quite happy with a gasoline model because it works with my main gas tank and I didn't need to fill a separate tank. That way, if I bring extra fuel, it works both for the van and the heater.

[@boozer74]

SO GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK!!!!!

[@dragonking972]

29:17 that soler panel is a real asset

[@FlowandSnow]

Stoked to see another video! You're an inspriation man

[@BTNomad]

I’d love to see what you did to upgrade the diesel line setup.

[@tumu1tus553]

Found you on ig, it's awesome to see the full build in one video!

[@husnainnasir8835]

good to have you back

[@William69-y4d]

Let’s gooo welcome back!!!

[@crabby2186]

Didn't expect to see a video from you but super happy to see your new adventures

[@skeet1205]

Great build!!

[@jwps7586]

Great re cap… Looking forward to the next one

[@Seawurthy]

Worth the wait we missed you

[@anon2414]

U should make some videos of daily life out of the truck. How the van life people do

[@DustyLensDiaries]

Hey bro, I'm also living in my Tacoma at the moment. Love your videos, it'd be great to meet up! 🤙

[@johnharris16]

He’s backkkkkkkkkkkkk❤

[@dbroom51]

I clicked on this video so fast! ❤️

[@justinjustinjustin10]

Im sure you’ll get to a million views in no time

[@jojolaniyo8939]

Just WOW 😮

[@LIFEbyBrandon]

JAKE WHATS GOOD BROTHA!! WELCOME BACK!!

[@juniatariverotter]

I understand you're using what you have, BUT you could drop a 747 on your truck and the camper shell will be the only thing remaining .

[@jaredturnidge8348]

Tru tho

[@shawnas464]

Nicely done 🎉

[@jjlpinct]

Miss you, bud!

[@jakegoldrich4847]

Absolutely incredible. How did you learn how to do all this?

New subscriber from Miami excellent content

[@YogeshJainOfficial]

[@christopher2towell550]

Let’s go missed ya videos keep pushing out content🙏

[@justincrews3243]

LETS GOOOOO

[@MrDerekSheppard]

What's the word for something that's way more than what overkill is?... Cause this would be it.

[@bellasavadge1302]

Reminds me of the first build. But still love it

[@mikejurnak0324]

WELCOME BACK‼️

[@Carson-x7y]

This is the same video from the others

[@mikejurnak0324]

He reintroduced himself to let people know he's coming back. (IMO) Did you see the clip of the new build at the end.

[@scottbartlett4853]

Welcome back!

[@863-b9nokaloenfbs]

Bummer thought you were back again

[@TareTare-me3iy]

Bahut pyara bana hai bhai

[@BraydenBakke]

ive been waiting months sibyl feels like years for a new post thought u died.

[@tubtubtub55]

Can you provide some détails about those tailgate light bars ( stop/flasher…) please.

[@denijordanoski7979]

how did you go with fuel consumption with all the weight in the back?

[@coltonkruse2313]

Any reason you didn't make the sleeping platform more flat?

[@dallastheraider2253]

I watched someone else build a truck like this you need to reinforce the frame if you are going to have a lot of weight toward the back

[@lisaeckley6496]

With the weight of all those 2x6 and wood what is your weight capacity for the rest of you gear?

[@ThisisForTheTV]

He ignored the gvwr and bent the frame then had it repaired because - "airbags, if it's not sagging then it's not overloaded." xD

[@andygould2575]

YES!!!!!!

[@gamingwithkhy-f5n]

You should change your radio station

[@BrianTaylor-v6q]

Should've bought a long bed truck. Then, there wouldn't have had any issues with the bed, and the wooden shell built on it.

[@angelalvarez2362]

hell yeah

[@TahaH-ur3cc]

His best friend is construction adhesive

[@BugzeeSiegel]

You don’t use this one anymore… you had a whole series on it before…

[@SalvagetoScenic]

It's still being used almost daily, just in a different way 🤙

[@BugzeeSiegel]

@ really?!? That’s sick!

[@galaxy_sky91]

bro u should have kept the bakc open llike conecting each other making it bigger in the inside and use less wood

[@geoffpriestley7310]

Is the rear licence plate legal? It looks a long way under the tailgate

[@BushRat253]

Oh…you took the build series that was a bunch of shorts, stuck them all together and re-uploaded? Yay…

[@doug42780]

You should rubber the under your truck

[@sagarschavan]

🙏👍👌❤️

[@dude3146]

Jesus, there's still enough money in the world to support people making these videos. I'm f****** dead. Off to work at McDonald's.

[@shawnstachowiak8517]

You watch it. Get a better job.

[@drivingbro]

We've already seen this build and then by the very end at 34:20 you finally tell us whats up next, very confusing. Awesome videos otherwise!

[@OutdoorTXs]

Did I just go back in time....

[@RayRayIsCoolio]

did my guy just get an entire truck for $20

[@almighty2398]

First time here i like the idea of safety but all those good locks and welding for a wood structure seems a bit dumb lol anything can cut through the wood just saying

[@danielyeroshalmi7492]

i feel like if i wanted to steal something i'd just cut the wood open.. instead of trying to get into the lock..

[@PrestonGladd]

4,000lbs of payload on a truck rated for 1200LBS, seems legit……

[@hodad200]

And he still hasn’t got the check engine light fixed 😂

[@DrillaKillaE1]

Ralk less bro Nice video

[@citystars1117]

I was just thinking about you yesterday like where tf has he been? He literally said he was gonna head home and start similar content and then vanished.

[@sendforacar9323]

Bro, you are asking to lose a finger the way you were using that table saw. Just look up table saw kick back or blow back.

[@kdo581]

Never understood why you took all your videos down.

[@whatifitisreal]

Hold up is he ok????

[@whatifitisreal]

I’ve see this before

[@Hammalanwar]

Weight left the chat...

[@tambosnipes1652]

[@dunderland241]

You really killed your channel.

[@dakapbj]

Bleh, recycling old content
