The motorcycle rigging is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time. This Rig is Amazing.

[@drivetheglobe]

My favorite part of the rig now that I have spent time with it on the road.

[@nunziobusiness1509]

Nice bike, too.

[@smokiedavinci]

I thought his last rig was amazing, this new rig is absolutely spectacular. Congrats to Mike, I'm happy for him.

[@Benzy670]

God, I wish I had the money for a rig just like this. Man's living the dream if you ask me!

[@FilCanJay]

I think it's a work of art. Mike needs to write a book on his adventures and add in the schematics of the vehicle.

[@Introverted_Outlander]

I think I’ve seen his last three rigs I really enjoy how he improves upon the experience and each rendition. I’m also jealous of the capability and the adaptability.

[@user-vi5vy3kr2w]

If I had money I would go the same route.. awesome

[@texaspinzgauer]

I've been watching Mike's build video series so this came as a surprise that it's all done. Having now seen it "finished", the build videos will still be useful to see. A fantastic accomplishment, especially given the compressed time line to build it! Very impressive!

[@avid_learner718]

I saw this build 1 year ago. It is still broing my mind, dude.

[@allantaylor3288]

Wow what an amazing rig, its an absolute credit to you not only building it but also having the vision to design this incredible home on wheels ❤

[@z.a-c_h]

This guy lives the life I wish I had 😂

[@reinmansmith]

Wow what a fantastic piece of kit…. as a motorcyclist that garage is the perfect icing on the cake!! 😊👍

[@hockeycop10]

Take my money!!!! Perfection!!!

[@hankcuccina5260]

One of the best conversions.

[@jbainent]

Nice work Kevin! Love to see you mix it up with fun videos like this!

[@thejohnhend]

Absolutely amazing rig. Would be a lifelong dream to tool around in something like this. Only thing I’d change is the ceiling tiles.

[@WILDFOXEXPEDITION1984]

Awesome build very beautiful ceiling 😍😍

[@jamestiberiuskirk5994]

What an awesome vehicle. Thank you for doing the video

[@NasTimeAdventures]

That is one well thought out and planned out rig. Who could say no to that? 👏

[@warrenjohnknight.9831]

Definitely a dream home for me and my cat 🐈, 😊😊😊.

[@norkisserrano]

This is by far the best Truck camper as far as functionality and the interior layout is concerned… plus he build it in 3 months? Unreal.

[@Angel-hd2rs]

So much nicer than most vans, trucks, campers, etc. Has everything one might need and then some as well as being wide enough two people can "pass" in the hall at the same time. Not claustrophobic at all. Happy new year!

[@bossmann7592]

thx for the walk around!! great build!! happy new year!! safe travels❣

[@brunonumerouno]

Amazing rig.

Nice work!

[@239Sheepdog]

Wow perfect setup with an independent dry shower, great water capacity, motorcycle garage, etc, you can tell a lot of thought went into this. I want one!

[@landyandy4x4]

super cool ,he's a fantastic guy I met him in Baja last week ..

[@LifestyleOverland]

Very cool!

[@charleshicks3492]

That rig is great, when can I try it🤣🤩⭐️😎

[@escalade78]

Wowwww....legitimately Badass!!! Best Overland rig I have seen yet!

[@CraigG21]

That rig is sweet!

[@tunccan65]

The 3 months 18 hrs. working to convert from an army truck to camper outstanding. One could work a week or 2 max 3,4. Love and passion with determination huge planning and dexteriousness otherwise could not be able. How much does this cost without labor? And labor 18hrs x 90=1800 approxiametely 14 dollars for an hour 8000 USD plus 5-6K for the buying cost of the vehicle plus parts 35.000 USD? Could worth I believe 60K in 2020 before pandemic!❤

[@marclaughlin2008]

Wow, that is awesome!

[@matthewbrewster4647]

wow what a Rig! its like a giant Luxury Range Rover ! Really nice design, love the living space the kitchen and bedroom elements and the Garage is a gamechanger. The way the gentleman put a "chase" permanently in the living space so he can install runs from the garage to the living space is an innovation ive long dreamed about, although in my design iwas tyhinking more of a bulkhead,but yeah what a cool smart innovative design element. I love seeing thje state of the art being advanced by people not specifically in the trades but excelling beyond compare anyway. I find it inspiring and im in the trades! Bravo to you Sir! Cheers thank you for showing this great work of art and living.

[@kevinthorne9892]

I ❤ This Rig...It's Awesome 🎉🎊 Only 1 Addition though...a Wood Stove for Winter time...

[@ironboy3245]

no, especially not if its something like this with no ventilation(also where would he store the wood?). A heater would be a acceptable substitution. but if i had to guess that AC probably works as a heater as well

[@kevinthorne9892]

@@ironboy3245 Understood 👍🏾

[@nunziobusiness1509]

The interior design is amazing. If I were to buy this rig, I would not change anything.

Wow that is the most perfect overland iv seen and the bike rack dam that is cool

[@glennj6465]

Wow that would be my dream truck few tweaks but not much ❤❤❤❤

[@warrenjohnknight.9831]

The bike lift would definitely fit my mobility scooter, ha ha ha ha 😊😊😊.

[@tomekz4632]

Great truck. The construction is so unusual US ;) In the EU, UNICAT makes 8x8 bodies. I recommend seeing it because the interior has a different concept. Now they make Dodge RAM.

[@kennethpedales]

Que tipo más agradable, que vehículo más impresionante, me encantó el garaje y el sistema de subir una moto, que por cierto es pesada, más de 200 kilos, muchas gracias por enseñarlo.

[@mohdaminbinahad-38]

i would not be afraid of the zombie apocalypse after this if i own this rig.. nice built and i love the bathroom

[@bradleybunt6556]

Dope setup!

[@TheFabricOfReality]

I saw this rig near Cabo pulmo a couple days ago Epic how big it is

[@drivetheglobe]

Yep, on the East Cape Baja now.

I seen you rolling west bound I40 just past Amarillo, Tx around thanksgiving time or earlier. I was in my semi

The bike lift is impressive. I wonder if you can buy them ready made?

[@drivetheglobe]

Yes, Neo-dyne Loaders out of Netherlands

[@J.Young808]

I saw the beginning of the build, wait maybe the one prior since he had the Unimog before. Nope I saw this one as I remember the name.

[@rd4660]

You know, I've never seen these huge rigs at the end of an off road trail, only at the beginning.

[@bobfarrell6510]

Happy New Year

[@moflexmusicinc.6060]

As fry would say “ here !! , take my money 💰!!!” lol Dude can you build me a rig this is fire 🔥

[@brunnie]

WOW!! What a build. Thanks for the lookie-see.

[@markw1247]

Maybe I missed it, but did he say what the max speed is?

[@drivetheglobe]

With highway gears, 3.07 ratio it can cruise around 65mph realistically.

[@SeeChadRun]

What an amazing rig!

Taj mahal on your screen this is in india 🇮🇳 ❤

[@christopheranderson8619]

WOW! Amazing build - Defiantly done right!

[@biomorphic]

Great build. I would like to know the overall cost.

[@devondrayton4006]

I followed behind one of these to Rosevelt Lake in Alaska and his tire ruts were so big in the soft road that it kind of made me mad. Also he got stuck and destroyed the poor road. Definitely shouldn’t have been there in my opinion. It was cool to see it though. He was traveling pretty fast too which was impressive.

[@buysncharge]

Jealous. It made you jealous.

[@TysonGould-td2wh]

I want the Mercedes mid size camper van haha

[@ericbritchie]

Wow, does not look like the vehicle I drove all over Iraq in 20 years ago!!

[@SupaSargeakaQ]

Atleast you had Lmtv’s when you were in Iraq 🇮🇶. I was riding around in the old 900 series dump truck and m998 hmmwv’s with homemade armor.

[@ericbritchie]

@@SupaSargeakaQI was one of two M-60 gunners in a hard-ox home made armor d5 ton dump for 4 months before we got those LMTV's. I feel ya!

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

Mike may not be the best at posting content on a regular basis.🤔😉🎞🎬🎥 But he's got the rig building down.🛠 🦍 Not to mention his branding is and design is next level. 💪👍

[@drivetheglobe]

😂 Love it! Ha, ha, you know me about the posting regularity. New years resolution is to be consistent like Kevin! We will see.

HI there can you tell me the brand and name of the motorcycle elevator please?

[@mattmacpherson1033]

Awesome build. Where do you find a truck as a start for this?

[@LifestyleOverland]

I've seen them on Expedition Portal Classifieds, Facebook Marketplace, and Military Auction sites 👍

[@gabrielleurielle8869]

Weird to see the complete rig here while only parts in his channel. 😂😂😂😂😂

The curse of the busy KZbinr! We are several months behind too. 😁

[@nasosnasos8054]

Price?

[@putra6106]

Long live

[@snorttroll4379]

great but make the next machine with a low instep with variable height springs or whatever so a motorcycle can be driven in easily. also make it possible to walk from the garrage to the reast of the house. also slap solar on the side because of snow and low sun in norther and southern places. also make the driver cabin accessible from the house because of comfort and bears and stuff. also have a totally enclosed waste system. poop gets burnt or turned into biogas first. water gets filtered and osmotically filtered and drunk again. perhaps by boiling it if you need for marketing purposes .distilling. but multiple filters including osmois and remineralisation should be it. do some uv and silver too.

[@snorttroll4379]

have you managed to remove all the rain noises?

[@Free2Dice]

As long as you have access to fuel 😂

[@kichini275]

What make truck is this again?

How much does a truck like this cost?

Ho Re Crap it's built!!!

[@seib6324]

Now that's overlanding my wife would approve of

[@LawDawg717]

It's ironic that the thumbnail for this video describes this truck as "Apocalypse Ready" when the truck probably gets 6 miles to the gallon.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Will fuel efficient vehicles rule the apocalypse?

[@LawDawg717]

@@LifestyleOverlandWill the petrochemical industry be immune to the apocalypse?

Keep in mind, it's not just a truck but a nearly self sufficient home. All you need is a water source at your destination... while you await the end of the apocalypse of course.

Cha chinggg 😅

[@greenandpoisonous45]

In a nutshell. Tread Lightly overboard. Angry locals. Angry overlanders. Because public dirt roads demolished. Roads get repaired and eventually closed. But not for the so-called "Fauna and Flora Preservers", happy for the unpaved roads now solely open for them, the locals and probably some with an expensive permit. Nice rig though.

[@BossRedRanger]

So crazy to see a full tour of this rig and on the owner's channel, he's still piece meal feeding us the build videos with no completed tour despite being done.

[@LifestyleOverland]

Editing videos takes time. Enjoy the preview.

[@user-nj9mh7ly2n]

The tires cost more than my car.

[@drivetheglobe]

About $275 a piece, so you must have a pretty darn cheap car.

[@advicepirate8673]

What a colossal unsustainable hunk of shit that's too big to get anywhere worth being. Not to mention the insurance probably costs as much as my truck on a monthly basis, all for an ultimately less useful, gas guzzling status symbol. It's difficult for me to put into words just how stupid I think this thing is, but I gave it a shot.

[@unclebuck5051]

Why does a wealthy person, Mike Ladden, need Patreon sponsor's?

[@LifestyleOverland]

Patreon is more about a value for value exchange for those who find worth in a creator's content or information. It's not like go fund me where there's a donation for nothing in return to those "in need". Net worth or wealth shouldn't diminish someone's value. I know lots of folks join his patreon for advice on their own builds.

[@drivetheglobe]

As @lifestyleoverland points out so well, Patreon is a community for artists and creators where there is value to the membership for joining. I created the account largely because I was inundated with questions and DM's from people seeking advice on their overland builds. I currently consult with many awesome people who are creating their dream rig. Also, have to ask, what is your definition of wealthy? And what makes you think I get to be included in that club?

[@omkar_121]

Life of people who are disconnected from reality.

[@LifestyleOverland]

How do you figure?

[@drivetheglobe]

reality isn't sitting at home watching TV every night.
