On October 8th, I’ll be living in my SUV (2007 4Runner V8 Limited). I was left to be homeless after being in a bad romantic relationship. I’m honestly scared to live in my SUV but after watching your video... it fired up a great sense of inspiration within me! Thank you for sharing this video! 🙏🏼

[@sssnipermonkey5566]

@tillallareoneluv It’s going good! Thank you for asking 🙏🏼 I agree with you! I’m not gonna use a platform. It’s doesn’t make sense to me. I have plans and I hope to share them soon! Have a great day ☺️

[@AnnieGill7]

@@sssnipermonkey5566 GOOD LUCK. I ALSO HAVE A 4Runner. May do the same. Have two big dogs, don’t know how that would work. Lots to think about. Already made it into a micro camper for just me. That was very cool!!

[@oneway1811]

I’m thinking of getting a sequoia and doing the same thing I’m a construction worker so I can build pretty much anything as I do remodeling I want to the same as well how is it going or went??

[@soycervantesjr]

Hope y’all are doing well ❤ God bless!

[@corvuschromatic_G-69]

I've said it before and, I'll say it again ! This young man really needs to start his own Y. T. C. ! ! !

[@scdobserver835]

Very nice of you to post an update of Luke's super compact adventure traveller. This is what I am calling it! 😂

[@chloeledbetter635]

It’s so cool to see Luc doing what he loves. I met him back in Seattle last summer and he was one of the most down to earth people.

[@drewsimms]

So sick! Haven't seen alot of people living on the road out of an FJ. Love the set up man

[@ronl6060]

Thanks for the update on Luc's conversion. Please ask Luc to do more videos.

[@cooperjackson614]

Good on ya, laddie! I bought my FJ two years ago. Changed my life.

[@d.wayneotto1094]

It was very nice to hear from Luc and get an update. I've been a long time follower... since the original bus build, and subsequent adventures on Instagram Still, until this video I had no idea Luc was so well spoken and though-out. A very impressive build, and tour!

[@WheresJoseToday-im1gr]

Excellent build! I am considering a rooftop tent, but this is another option. My opinion: get a 12 volt freezer/fridge: even a small one. Makes a HUGE difference. One thing you can do is keep let's say frozen steaks in there, and also make ice using ziplock backs or bottle. You can use the ice for the cooler. I just got an ARB fridge and would not go back to cooler alone.

[@SaturnGeminiLove]

Love this update video for Luke. Wishing Luke the best in his trip to the Tetons in his dream rig. Much love to you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lumaeerickson1136]

I see teaching, in some form, in his future......... he will have a wealth of information and life experiences to share!

[@Rehkew]

Man, that's so cool. Saving up for my own Fj and hoping Toyota brings it back to compete with the bronco and wangler.

[@bluefm7370]

You, sir, give me hope for future generations. Stay safe❤

[@codyburch9965]

Awesome build. I have a 19 y/o son that I wish I could inspire to travel and no start college yet. I’m going to show his this video right away.

[@navigationnowhere]

That’s awesome and I know Luc would love that!

[@mikeanderson8939]

If I could go back... You figured it out... you're living the right life at your age. I love the FJ Cruiser and why they stopped making it... Happy travels bruh!

[@brendaswann7292]

Everything needed indeed. Really well thought out. Well done. Live small, travel big. 👏🏽🇨🇦🚌🇨🇦👏🏽

[@sicchuckie]

Never thought an FJ, but cool 😎

[@fantazykory]

Beautiful FJ

[@Curly_Fried_]

How do you make money though

[@KMF3]

I am a woman and have an FJ cruiser. I've been "building out" my rig for camping, on an extreme budget with no building, but leaving it all in the car. I have a lot more stuff though and wanting comfort so I have a collapsible toilet, shower/changing room, solar shower, and made the back seat my bed with an inflatable mattress made for the backseat. I'm short at 5'3" so it's not too bad. I'm not living in it. Just for camping. I think I have too much but every time I go thru all my stuff every item seems so important. For instance I have a small axe and foldable shovel, emergency supplies, etc. After looking at this build one thing I am going to do different is take my water in a 7 gallon Jerrycan rather than 1 gallon jugs that take up a lot of space.

[@bajahank1]

Cool setup. My wife and I are always looking for FJ's when we are out driving around. Hope to see Luke's FJ some day. We live in Aurora, CO.

[@elementgypsy]

I need a closet in my Element. Good to see your build.

[@br.markanthony574]

Practicality and simplicity first, you young man and your grandfather have great taste in vehicles, the knowledge you've learned is invaluable and only those that do, will understand, 😉👍🙏

[@theadventuresofturtle]

If Luc makes it's to southern California to joshua tree national park that's my home town. Could take him exploring in the NP. Love your guys work and watching the progress, currently in the slow and steady procession with my van. And been looking for a skoolie too 😬 lol

[@Chicanoverland]

Great showing and kudos to you fellow FJ owner!

[@globyois]

Good onya, buddy, excellent build and excellent endeavor!

[@oneway1811]

Love your set up bro

[@blumerlredpilledgirl8958]

Luc needs a channel.

[@Baughlin]

Utah is the place man

[@2AZSUN]

That build turned out pretty incredible. Looks like it fits all Luc needs and wants, so major score for him. Safe travels Luc!! Kinda miss him on the bus bus build now though. Look like Christina needs to step up and fill his void....just sayin' Christina.

[@277kne]

How did you get any thumbs down? Who doesn't like Luc and Mike? My favorite guys on KZbin.

[@graystone3048]

277kne I’m guessing people who wonder how they pay for all this with no job?? Lol. My mom and dad won’t support me anymore. Hahahaha

[@277kne]

@@graystone3048 Maybe they saved up some money. And KZbin pays.

[@midway241]

So happy for the update tour of Luke’s rig. Praying for traveling mercies for you Luke. God Bless!

[@susans7091]

What a wonderful mini SUV camper:) A couple of questions. How do you keep the books from falling out? Potty? Where do you put your dirty clothes?

[@debbiputman3482]

Okay, I’ll keep my Jeep, but this did give me some great ideas to improve my own build out! Thanks.

[@navigationnowhere]

Haha. Glad to see it! Build out the Jeep.

The paracord net is awesome 😎

[@RumorHazi]

This stuff looks awesome! I’ve always wondered if everything just rattles like crazy going down the trails?

I'm here for it. This is the exact vehicle I'm saving up for now. Preferably the 6 speed manual too. This is great

[@AnnieGill7]

What a cool build! You guys knocked it out. Awesome!

[@JR-playlists]

Did you ever watch Midnight Express (1978) so probably not, but you should! Those antlers reminded me of the end of the warden... in a rear end collision.

[@bsellman6881]

Hey brother thanks for sharing your adventure man very inspiring encouraged by what you're doing I'm much older than you but looking to do a similar path keep it up man stay safe and take care

Love your set up mate 🤟

Drill some air holes for the Jackery. Nice build, brother.

I subscribed I’ll be doing this with a truck but the kind of truck will stay a mystery until I reveal it in my channel 🤙 keep up the great content

[@bluejeans8001]

I’ve always loved the looks of the FJ and you have accompanied a great build 🏆. Good luck with all your adventures 👍👍👍

[@walkerck]

This is going to sound weird, but was Luc in Rhode Island this last weekend? Because I swear I thought I saw him in Jamestown. I saw someone who I couldn't place how, but really thought I recognized. It was only after the fact that I said, wait a minute, that's the guy from this channel, and I know he's been in Newport in the past what with the Newport Shipyard sticker being on his Yeti mug.

[@navigationnowhere]

He was in the area but I don’t think he still is.

[@HolidayInMaine]

Haha that was me 🤙🏼

[@UTeeNye]

That is one sick rigged I need to do something similar to my 4 runner

[@jeffreyc6508]

OK How do I ask this? I see Luke has a "FRIEND" in some of the clips? dose she "travel" with him? Dose she have her own rig? I ask because I do not see a "guest bed room" in the tiny house, Great build BTW, thanks!!

[@Anonymous-md2qp]

I was thinking the same thing. When she comes along I’m assuming they must set up a tent.

[@GratefulOverlander]

"When youre in a small space like this, any crevice counts"... Sounds like a prison quote, lmfao

Check out Idaho. Moab Utah and grand junction colo for boating. Ketchum Idaho if you need to work. Lotta rich folks (sun valley ski area).

Love that build, Is it comfortable sleeping two people ? I love the new look, seems like its a better design. At 21 .... enjoy life now, do what you can, go as many places as you can. You'll be able to look back and say wow that was great. The story's will be the best. Good Luck

[@fire58372001]

Hi there, I saw your vid. I've been truck camping since the mid 80's. Here's what I've learned & I'll pass them on to you. Some of this you may already have, do, or know about. 1) Get stuff you need at a camping store for backpacking. It's small, compact, & light weight. 2)Get splash guards for your truck. It'll help keep you & your rig clean. They work. I know. 3) When parking for the night, park headlong into the wind. That way if a storm comes you won't have to worry about a side wind ripping off your camper shell. Plus, if anything comes bouncing towards the truck, since you have a slimmer profile, it might miss you. If it does hit, the front of the truck is reinforced. Also when cooking you're in the lee & the wind will blow the smoke & odors out of your rig. 4) Use bug spray on the interior doors & windows/ screens openings to help keep bugs out. Use wasp & hornet spray around & on your tires to help keep critters out. Basically, all points of contact on the ground. 5) An inch is a lot of room. Learn how to stack & get used to sand & dirt. Use floor mats to put your shoes on too 6)Air out your sleeping area every morning or often. In an enclosed space the air gets stale. 7)Use a small fan to circulate the air in your sleeping area. This will help prevent hot & cold spots from forming & help prevent condensation & mold & mildew from forming. 8)Use a solid hooded sweatshirt. Draw the hood tight when you sleep to help encapsulate body heat. It can double as a pillow/ dirty clothes holder/ gear carrier etc. I hope this helps. Great vid, thanks for sharing. Drive safe. 🤠

And after the four weeks until a realizing that wow it's way too expensive for teacher salaries.
