[@JeremySiers]

Imma ignore the shit talk you laid down and give you one freebie lol. Truck looks good my dude. This is gonna be a fun but expensive contest! 😎👊🏻

[@BestDamnEDC]

🤣 Very expensive indeed. Looking forward to what you build!

[@Rob-cm9jr]

Shouldn't be difficult to win. A v8 tundra with a topper and air mattress would win my vote over a junk Chevrolet v6. In his defense at least it isn't the 4 banger. I'd still choose a Tacoma v6 over the bison trash. Hope it doesn't need to go off-road. Hope you have a good winch.

[@JohnB551]

Don’t forget to include in your rig an esky full of Trulys and some tick spray. Whiskey Knife Fight coming back in 2024?

[@russelldouglass9501]

The speed of that is awesome. Camping with roof top/bed tents is such a pain to set up and tear down constantly. This setup fixes that issue. Im gonna have to say you are gonna win because of your experience already. Although i do love the metal MOLLE in the bed from the other channel. Give us some amazing ideas on what we can do. Thanks for the content.

[@heavyhitta52]

I can’t wait to see the video of you stuck in the Florida muck 😂

[@chriscon8463]

Awesome build! This makes my tent-camping system seem archaic. I can’t wait to see what Jeremy puts up!

[@stew411]

Ok Taylor, stepping up the game. Like how it is coming along. When you and Jeremy get finished, you guys need to a meet up to camp for a few days. Let’s get it on. lol. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@failfurby]

And they need to swap rigs for at least one of those nights and judge each other on sleeping arrangements and comfort for someone other than the owner

[@daviddrennan4600]

I agree to this idea! The swap makes it!

[@rockguitarist425]

Great build! And reasoning behind the direction you went. Love the camera work as well! Rikki, you rock!

[@enice617]

9:20 you can add another one of those Velcro straps for wrangling charging cables - across the fingers of your gloves - so they don’t dangle lol

[@thegrownman]

I’m so ready for you two guys builds. The bed pass through with the roof top tent is killing it so far.

[@FreysOnTheSide]

Newer to your channel, stumbled because I am love gear. But now super excited because you love the Overland stuff as well. We are a small channel in the overland world. Looking forward to seeing more of this content.

[@BlueRidgeOverlandGear]

Yo! Thanks for the shout out! Bring that thing by the shop whenever.

[@AdamCeladin]

Siiiick Ride Brotha

[@himynameisangelo15]

Already winning based on the fact that the video didn’t revolve around an ad that gets more attention in post editing than the damn truck/content

[@ricksousa3932]

Taylor that is one sweet unit, good luck enjoy.

[@ethanparton1500]

Can’t wait to see more videos on this

[@SamGrey]

Never bet against Florida man

[@JeremySiers]

Damn straight! 😎👊🏻

[@carthage7836]

loving the new content!

[@failfurby]

Looking forward to this series and this year's content. I am hooked on EDC now, even if I can't afford the vast majority of it lol.

[@ryanhack4378]

Rigs looking awesome!! A diy “decked” system in the bed instead of the packouts might be a nice option!

[@tdg0101]

Good stuff thanks

[@jcharles-12]

gotta admit that thing is badass always liked alu-cab, luv the indoor access

[@ewakingwood]

Oh Taylor, dem's fightin words! 😂

[@chrisdragoo5582]

He’s back🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Mink_24]

Great stuff .. AVO did the work on my Tacoma … will be using them again!

[@marcus2500]

Love this into!

[@bradyfilm]

Well done. After decades of camping and various rooftop and ground tents I assure you that your choice is a winner!

[@BestDamnEDC]

It's so hard to explain how much better it is than a RTT. It's game changing, for a lack of a better term...

[@snowboarding1984]

Wow! This is going to be fun! Taylor all the way! 🤘🏼

[@NocturnalMantis]

Shots fired!

[@nellosnook4454]

Thanks BDEDC! 💪

[@BestDamnEDC]

🤘🏻

[@skelley6136]

Slick rig! Never heard of that company before!

[@kevinhinojoza]

Sick loaded truck man! It'd be cool to see a camping trip or something!

[@ThickBaconStrip]

That intro!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Not_So_Tactical_Dad]

All things aside, I'm going with 37's and that sweet ole V8!!!

[@eliasvs]

Very Nice

[@MarxAlex]

Go SA! Alucab is south African, so nice to see them making impact internationally

[@jeremiahramos5526]

Just got back from watching Jeremys video. Gotta say I like his truck more, but gotta wait to see what yinz do with em to decide who’s build I like best.

[@nathanjacks3520]

This is awesome, Taylor. Really excited to see what you do with that. I just bought a Tacoma so I hope you don’t give me too many ideas

[@BestDamnEDC]

Godspeed 😅

[@robf4013]

Jeremy is definitely winning this

[@Brian_D.]

Jeremy : “I lifted my truck” Taylor : “I can live in my truck”

[@JeremySiers]

Don’t judge yet my dude…..I’m just getting started 😎👍🏻

[@JoeBplus12]

Hell yes! Time for the truck bed build out. Jeremy...lol. He needs a Truly cooler for his truck.

[@UntamedBadlands]

I’ll take your challenge the OverDuty is a amazing build

[@UntamedBadlands]

That Chevy payload is probably max already!

[@kenmcdougal97]

I use the milwaukee pack out for my canopy camper on my tacoma 6 foot bed i put one pack out at each corner of the truck bed and can even hang out in the camper without opening it up so i have down stairs lounge and an upstairs to chill lol. Looking forward to see what you figure out what you do with your setup 👌

[@themotivatedbarber341]

Wow. Jeremy, shots have been fired. That blade went deep. What you got to counter.

[@JeremySiers]

I know right…damn. If this is how he does his friends I hate to see how he treats people he doesn’t like. 🤣🤣

[@Klinkertinlegs]

Why would he leave his house? That’s where the whiskey and cigars are!?! 😂

[@gregrudzinski]

I promise maybe ... LOL. Put that on a T shirt ! Ha Ha. This is turning into a whisky truck fight series I think ;-)

[@ghostmaloneedc4254]

Won’t lie, I’d live in that! As long as there’s a place to put a couple changes of clothes, some boots, a “few” edc items, and an place for my AR. Killer build! Can’t wait to see an update in the future! 👻👊🏻

[@BestDamnEDC]

I may already be looking for a mounting solution inside one of the doors 👀

[@ariocrugh3960]

Tocoma 💪🏽!

[@1977NOBODY]

You won…..As soon as I seen your rig,I was like it’s over😂

[@pjdenzer]

I wish you were my neighbor.....the show and tell and hangout would be amazing

[@BloodyMeridianM8]

Love the camping setups when I see them, now having a camaro I miss having a truck that can truck and losing the bed is major smack as far as moving stuff but I would love to camp in that don’t get me wrong

[@chuckplayzrblx1575]

Love it when these guys butt heads! But after what's said and done, we'll be learning a WHOLE LOT from these awesome guys....Carry on Boys!

[@ahmads.gram.7321]

Your 100 percent winning 😂😂

[@mattwalker2583]

Major glamping $$$

[@Leif-Eriksson]

Pretty cool truck and this contest will escalate. 🤣

[@MrWinger1951]

So glad to see you going with a NON Toyota!

[@cooperhorton1405]

What size tyres do you have ? I think Jeremy’s tyres are to small but he has no wear to sleep You have THE BEST place to sleep I don’t know who will win it’s going to be an expensive but awesome series of competitive videos. Now I want one of those roof top tent canopys

[@chrisdragoo5582]

Taylor are you going to start streaming again? Also I really appreciate the quality of your videos and the work that goes into them so keep up the great work

[@luisramosyoungbloke1232]

Please more overlanding content! Make vids where you review and test out in the wilderness in actual edc environments!

[@hunter_pauley]

LOL! That is my tacoma that had a GFC. Switched to a Super Pacific which is RAD and so much better than the GFC.

[@heathagius3598]

Reminds me of when my grandpa got his new RV.

Go with pelican instead of those Milwaukee cases

[@miguelescobedo8617]

what items did you use for coffee ? They look cool

[@robosnitz]

Shallow little puddles?!!!🤣🤣🤣 You DO know that Florida is mostly at sea level, right??? Go far south in Florida during the summer. Bring your floaties!😂😂😂

[@danmiller81]

To replace the packouts have you checked out Siddio crates?

[@cooperhorton1405]

I reckon if you want to beat Jeremy’s 37s buy an unmodified unimog

[@traditionallarry5378]

Hey Taylor going back to one of your shorts,where can you find that Riat utility knife you showed.

[@jayrdee8929]

You win! Now how can we get a mrmobile edc truck like yours 😂? I want to see a hammock swing on the left or right side hahaha

[@chrisott9129]

Alright Jeremy, you got some ground to make up.

[@ronniemuse7605]

So I think you needed to find your terms a little bit better about winning, but I don't think it's going to be much of a competition when it comes to outdoor readiness, but I think you need to have some type of efficiency. Marker/ able to perform certain tasks and power to weight ratio and fuel efficiency with your current buildout. I think Taylor is going to win. Love you Jeremy but I think Taylor is going to win

[@avilocke]

winner winner chicken dinner

[@JohnB551]

Will you be installing some form of solar power, or maybe a refrigeration system? I can predict Jamie’s truck will feature an esky full of Truly’s and a few cans of tick spray.

[@Meech_CV]

I see the convenience of Alu Cabs, but everytime I see one, I can't get over how it looks just like a restaurant meat cooler on the back of a truck.

[@BestDamnEDC]

I don't disagree. But the convenience is just impossible to deny. I wasn't sold on the looks. But I love this thing

[@Co-je3lf]

It is going to be a tie ! For sure... Thank you gent's for a interesting content.

[@christophwilhelm6431]

You don't need a six inch lift and 37's to drive through those shallow little mudpuddles in florida... But it does come in handy when there's a flood.

[@BestDamnEDC]

🤣

[@JeremySiers]

Hey man….these puddles get deep 🤣🤣

[@chrisbecker9029]

mind if I ask what jacket you are wearing in the video?

[@veritas.ve.42]

That cigar is too big for your small frame😂

[@forwardprogressonly]

HOW MUCH DOES IT WEIGH? THE SCOUT CAMPER LOOKS GOOD

[@JimAlaska49]

More like Bougie Apocalypse :)

[@tfwoodcraft]

I wanna see how that setup works with the wife and kid(s)

[@TheGoodTheBadTheRowdy]

My hijet feels inferior and smol to the bison haha. Dang it!

[@BestDamnEDC]

Hey, I still love my Sambar...

[@justingere1824]

Must be nice to have money unlike the rest of us.

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

So I have one question are you gonna get your mini truck fixed cause I’ve been waiting for some mini Truck content

[@Iam_jardow]

Be cooler if it were the mini truck ;)

[@BestDamnEDC]

I agree. RIP It'll ride again soon. Very soon

[@michaelriddle8196]

Why didn't you keep your AT4?

[@Killa_b_rc]

How you just gona blow jeramy out of the water with just the intro? 🤣🤣🤣 jeramy has 24hrs to respond

[@HeyItsCoates]

Milwaukee Packouts in the event KZbin doesn't work out and the new HVAC career begins. The container of refrigerant is already on the back.

[@BestDamnEDC]

It's never a bad idea to have a Plan B 🤣

[@jacobhergesheimer3544]

Anyone know the fixed blade on the pouch?

[@bking94]

what did you do with the old peragon bed cover? I'd love to purchase it! Been eyeballing them for my '19 zr2 for a while and haven't pullled the trigger

[@BestDamnEDC]

I have it in my garage. Was going to list it for sale. I'd hate to have to ship it, but if you're local ...

[@bking94]

@@BestDamnEDC Unfortunately i am down in Tampa. I was just up there on a road trip to Asheville 2 months ago with the truck too.

[@BestDamnEDC]

@@bking94 I'm not against figuring out shipping. We could figure it out. Maybe lol

[@bking94]

@@BestDamnEDC Let me know! I have never shipped anything that big but it can't be that hard, right? lol I have no idea though

[@Footballdreams99]

Nice rig Taylor. Apocalypse rig needs a front bar that can drive through road blocks and lights that turn night to day. I love that the bed panels lift up to give u stand up room. That’s huge for anyone use to roof top camping. If you are actually going to take it off road I’d add front and back winches as it will be a heavy rig and u can’t always winch forward out of trouble and back tracking is a major advantage when out. Can’t wait to see what you come up with and blow Jeramy and his safequeen tuck out of the mud. May need to add some driving challenges to the conditions. Make him get dirty

[@JeremySiers]

Already had my truck out in the woods in the mud. Taylor’s sure looked awfully clean…..just sayin. Who has the safe queen now. 😜

[@Footballdreams99]

@@JeremySiers checking out your build now mate 37s ouch the amount of red tape we would have in Australia for that is crazy would love a set for my old 80 series aka Australian recovery vehicle 🤣 love the banter

[@spinspin217]

What cigar lighter do you use 😂?

[@BestDamnEDC]

That was a Vertigo torch

[@bradyfilm]

You don't light a cigar with a lighter, you use a match!

[@kg4tri]

A truck/SUV built for overlanding but never leaves the pavement or maintained dirt roads is called a Pavement Princes.

[@BestDamnEDC]

Well, I've been taking this truck on trips since I bought it last March so no fear of that here ...

[@kg4tri]

@@BestDamnEDC I was referring to your buddy you challenged . The way you made it sound he doesn't go any where but Walmart with his

[@JeremySiers]

You can’t pay any attention to Taylor. I’ve already had mine out in mud that those baby tires on his truck wouldn’t have made it through. 🤣😂

[@kg4tri]

@@JeremySiers Fl Mud is one thing but Taylor has mountains and we have rocks out here in the west can ya'll's trucks handle those situations .

how did you blow up the kei?

[@BestDamnEDC]

Trying to drive it to Georgia 😅

[@darksideemt]

As for the "competition" Jeremy will get my vote. I am personally not a fan of your type of setups. Nothing against those that are at al,l I am just not a fan of caps on trucks of any type, bed racks with a tent I love but have just never been able to get onboard with campers/caps or all those types of things.

[@BestDamnEDC]

It took one trip out with a bed rack for me to know that wasn't going to cut it. It rained and even though I had a bed cover, everything still got wet. And loading stuff in and out of that bed with the cover and rack in the way got old. FAST.

[@thegoodlightllc4093]

Still the Best Damn OCD channel I have ever found. Apocalypse OCD that is.

[@conjandysecurity]

Your metamorphosis is almost complete. In about 3 years you'll be doing case knife reviews.

I'm going to be completely honest with you. I've been carrying a Case Russlock all week. 😅

Wait...an Outland Rig with a coffee grinder and French press? We obviously have different ideas of what roughing it/camping is. LOL

[@BestDamnEDC]

It's an AeroPress and just because you're in the woods doesn't mean you have to drink trash coffee.
