When Aesthetics meet Function - T1N Sprinter Van Tour - MUST WATCH

[@JarrodTocci]

Sometimes when I come across people like Ikey I remember why I love doing what I do. Most of you watch my channel for the tours, but I post 2 videos per week. 1 being about someone else as a van tour, shop tour, product that would help someone, or anything like that. And another video about my life from DIY projects or maybe a travel vlog. For a while I've been burnt on some tours due to EVERYONE is trying to capitalize on this "vanlife" industry. I've been touring vans since the start of my channel in 2018 and I'll say it again, I tour the PERSON not the van. Ikey is the perfect example of this!! I bumped this tour up my list of tours to be released for the simple fact we need to remember the people like Ikey that inspire us daily. You, Ikey, have reminded me why I do tours weekly.

You truly inspired him Jarrod!!

[@AmberANDAmanda9594]

Ikey is my nephew. He has brilliant parents and people who believed in him and his gifts. He is self taught and just applied his natural gifts and talent. I am so proud of him. Each build just gets better and better. I can’t wait for the next one.

[@cathysupp9493]

Well done! deserves being proud of him-it figures that he has a supportive family So glad he’s able to do what he obvs loves, it’s a joy to see this kind of talent blossom, creating new and wonderful things

[@AmberANDAmanda9594]

@@cathysupp9493 Thank you.

[@midnite_walrus]

Very inspirational, I am building my own right now (T1N) and this video is truly inspiring. It is so clean and so professional looking! Amazed

[@lisaroth7526]

This guy is gifted. Seriously gifted. I love the fact that not only does he learn from others, but *he gives them credit*. So many don't. This guy is the real deal. Thanks for a fantastic tour and introduction to an up and comer, Ikey.

[@kayroosa609]

I totally love his van, beautifully designed, very functional and just an overall amazing job. Very talented man. This is by far one of the best builds I have ever seen. Thanks for another great video.

[@Krombop.M]

hang-board is great idea, it inspired me to put a pull-up bar in that spot

[@ingloid]

I really enjoyed this tour! Ikey was fun and inspiring to watch.

[@avocado3748]

What a sweet down to earth spirit. Great craftsmanship

[@Go.el_Hadam]

That is the one of the highest quality DIY vans I have ever seen. The quality and attention to detail is incredible. He Def made the right choice to become a pro builder.

[@ramonadefore5180]

This young man is very talented! His vision and skills are amazing!! Love his van and attention to detail, for everything that a person would need!! Thank you for sharing!!! Can’t wait to see his next build!!

[@DiamondDustAndVerdigris]

Super impressive! The van, and the young man! Well done, Ikey. Saving this one for ideas/inspiration. Thanks J!

[@Un1234l]

Man’s actually already put together a lot of the ideas I was currently thinking of together in his van. I wanted 144 ish WB with bench, Murphy bed, kitchen, storage, wet room, but couldn’t really visualize how they’d all fit. Biggest thing wracking my brain was if I sacrifice counterspace for dedicated wet room, or opt for convertible shower. Seems the shower part is also giving him a lot of homework as well, haha

[@ginabrytowski3564]

Whoa! I've watched a lot of tours and this has so many things I've never seen! Brilliant! You're reaction to the blender was pure gold 😂 Thanks for sharing this!!

[@JarrodTocci]

Just jealous of Ikey’s physique 😂

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Amazingggg build!

[@JarrodTocci]

The amazing girl who lives and travels in her Toyota Prius! You’re inspiring and great at making videos

[@torriebrown9607]

He Did Amazing Job. I love that Murphy bed❤❤❤❤

[@Chris-ut6eq]

Way to go Ikey! You have the attention to detail of an engineer. Keep on learning! Well done on this van! Love the tour Jarrod. You always find interesting vans to tour!

[@rdwilander]

Creative and Cool ....powerful tip on how to complete a beautiful build. Great interview Jarrod

[@always.wondering.wandering]

Love, love, love this! thanks Jarrod

[@leela4979]

Wow adding Ikeys layout on my list. This is awesome. Thanks Jarrod! 😍🤩

[@jackhamilton6591]

Ikey is a brilliant young man . Best of luck to him in his endeavours! Beautiful van too!

[@DharmaWilson]

Very Impressed with the creativity of this van. Is there a 🚿? Did you do the wiring? Looking forward to your next 🚐…

[@Hunter357mag]

Wow, just WOW! The planning/brain tiring is amazingly detailed and well thought out. The quality of the build is obvious too. Great van, great video!

[@barbaraburke2937]

Love it Ikey, your van build is awesome 😊👍 thanks Jarrod for sharing this van tour. Take care be blessed and safe too 🤗💖

[@jean-paulnancyraut6596]

Awesome van, the layout, the craftsmanship and the ingenuity are outstanding. Kudos.

[@susanlewis1875]

What a creative, talented, articulate young man. I see great things ahead for him.

[@cathymcmahon7289]

I rarely comment, but this van…. wow. Love the design, the innovation, the style, the attention to detail. Amazing work Ikey. Thanks for the tour Jarrod and for bumping this one up ♥️

[@lrfox49]

Love this van and such a young man too. Very sensible design!

[@robertduley5446]

Absolutely the best, Murphy bed, future shower, excellent usage including the gearage

[@TheRoadprincess]

Nice, clean and really appealing build!

[@gypsybelle4757]

What a talented and super intelligent guy! Outstanding build and amazing heart. Thank you for taking time for us today!!

Loving the build!!!!! Functional and aesthetically pleasing!!!!!!

[@eloisety1392]

That attention to detail, finesse and craftsmanship is awesome man. Seriously.

[@Dreamysunshine23]

OMG he's so cute and talented... he reminds me of my son🥰... amazing job on the build💯🔥

[@rudivandoornegat2371]

Excellent design! Layout, as well as interior design. Innovation (at least first time I see it in a van) are the adjustable shelves. Can't wait for the hidden shower to take shape.

[@AJourneyOfYourSoul]

Thanks for touring this one Jarrod. Very cool build.

[@thedevmachine]

Ikey your build is really awesome!

[@janvandenbosch3821]

Great ideas ! Congrats and nice to see a modern US RV.

[@ifell3]

Wow, liked this build!!

[@macnolds4145]

Absolutely genius. Brilliant.

[@bushibang]

Innovative and impressive young man!

[@adarodriguez8007]

Hello from Buffalo NY, I’m a fan of van life. Hopefully some day I will have one.

[@christywilson694]

I love the videos where it's Not the same ole', same ole'! This van has 1 great idea after another, even if it was gleened from someone else! Isn't that why we van/tiny fans watch these videos?

[@thejackofalltravels8267]

The finest T1N I have seen Wowed I wanna be like Ikey I have a 2004 T1N Freightliner dually

[@AreYouMyPeople]

I'm loving Ikey! Nice tour. 👍

[@zenzibell]

Love this build! Random as heck: I went to Howard with an Ike Baker from NY way back in the day.

[@ikebaker330]

That would be my son. Is that Tanya bell?

[@zenzibell]

@@ikebaker330 Ike!!!!! Hey, your son is dope! I'm shopping for a van builder in the next year or so, and I might seek him out if he's available.

[@zenzibell]

@@ikebaker330 whoops! Yep, it's me!

[@BrooklynAlien]

Awesome, what a small world!

[@stacynoble3909]

Okay so I can start small, and build my way to what I want exactly, I like the idea that everything had its place, and fit perfectly including the insta pot

[@peggysuegroft5553]

This is a awesome van build great job!!! Happy travels !

[@leonardcroft1467]

Hi Jarrod Nice Van Build Always Enjoy Your Videos Thanks

[@Dan-LS]

Beautiful!

[@johncrisp6683]

Now this was a well done van! A plan and hard work to do it.

[@SouthCanadian]

Lots of neat things in this van. I like it!

[@AJourneyOfYourSoul]

Outstanding build. This kid has got skills!!!!

[@P.Subaeruginosa]

That little garage is insanely cool

[@susanscovill6817]

WOW! This dude is off the wall crazy talented. Anyone who wants to do a van build HAS TO design it to their wants and needs. They need to watch vlog tours, pick out and redesign what they like and then build for themselves. Too many ask what design or layout they should use. Ask product advise or if you run into a how-to build something rut, fine, but design and build to YOUR needs. Jarod this is why I love your tours. Cheers from Canader eh!

[@JarrodTocci]

Thank you 🙏

[@btownes5632]

Such a great design!! Thanks for sharing Jarrod.

[@Dancing414]

The interviewer is getting in the way of this interview. Love this young mans well thought out, very liveable van. Beautiful!

[@dianejimenez8327]

I really like the design. of this van ..very creative ... nice work ..👏 👍 Thank you for sharing .. Keep loving what you do .. we enjoy ..your video's .. 👏 👍😊 🤗😁

[@christurcotte9695]

That’s one of the best DIY builds I’ve seen!

[@janetfeathers4128]

Extremely cool build, what a mind he has, wow.

[@HiTechMom]

Beautiful design

[@albapugh8837]

Great! Good job!

[@cathysupp9493]

This guy is a van prodigy! A-fab. quality build B-real ingenuity C-inspiring and inspired by others D-shares his ideas I just love all the nooks and crannies. No space left unused PS really interesting latching system with cut out handles…. Would love to know about the metal-was it bought? Did he fabricate it?

[@debmac4831]

Inspirational! ty for sharing!!

[@childofgodsfavor6909]

Great ideas for a van! Love it! I can't wait until you configure how to add a shower inside the van. A wet shower is imperative for those times you may not be at a campground or gym. Great job!

[@georginataylor3802]

This here is my favorite build

[@sharaswitala6296]

Friggin awesome

[@jennettawatkins1417]

I really like this van. However, I like this kids humbleness and his giving credit where credit is due, more!

[@maureenblutekraus3561]

Cool build

[@Chereese0808]

Pretty amazing for a 20 year old. Excellent work! 👍👍

[@nonyabizness.original]

i think it's pretty amazing for any ANY year old! first van build i ever saw that i got van envy over so bad i just apologized out loud to my own old chevy van 😁.

[@rickwilson478]

Really clean design. Like the modular garage space. What is the brand name of the drawer handles/catches

[@lisamillerbuchert9447]

That’s a very pretty van, great job!!!

[@MzAndrus1]

Oh my goodness ~ I totally love this setup ~ I think the only thing that I would want different is ~~~》 the garage to be able to open up from the inside ~ like an extra escape hatch ~ but other than that he really thought this out 🤩😍

[@christine9604frisco]

So fine! Hello from another Buffalonian. (Tho 50 yrs. before you were born) Great workmanship! ❤️ interesting layout!

[@brandyn6644]

Sick sick build…..

[@kaymarpee]

when you highly relate to this guys term "brain damage" in describing what it feels like to try and fit everything in. those brain damage feels!

[@vanrosey]

Is it possible to get some design information on the pocket door area and over head storage. I want to use the exact design for my 2006 T1N build out.

[@LilyWasHereMB]

Watched the video yesterday and forgot to comment: If not mistaken, Vanwives have an '06 T1N and it's like the Energizer Bunny. As for the build, very Tocci-ish, but in a good way😉 The floor vent is indeed a signature of Freedom Vans; nice that Ikey gave Tom & Kyleigh credit. Ikey has the right attitude, creative design ideas and build skills. Having Ikey & Co. build your van out would be a solid choice.

[@robyng.2340]

Can you provide more info on the underbody fan, thanks

[@nickpoorman]

Wow. This makes me want to start over haha

[@JarrodTocci]

Been there too 😂

[@mariocooke5463]

superb design!

[@GlynTaylor]

Wow that's exactly the sliding door I'm gonna make, first time I've seen it done

[@P.Subaeruginosa]

I'm thinking of debating between tge nissan civillian or the Toyota coaster, leaning toward the coaster because it seems a little smaller but will still have room for a shower and toilet (both seperate and walled in with doors) maybe even a washing machine if the batteries and solar panel capacity aren't too high (cost too much)

[@brucecampbell8739]

Ikey must have an Industrial Design background ? Great craftsmanship !

[@AmberANDAmanda9594]

No he doesn’t. Self taught!

[@Km.SiuLane007]

Amazing!!!

[@JyotiBarry]

I love it ❤

[@user-yz5oh4jj7v]

20 y.o. and guy already figured it out... Damn, that's something, respect. I wish I had that much sense in this age.

[@sisc5373]

Hey Jarrod, can you tell me where I might find information on class B’s built on Ford Chassis? Thank You for all you do

[@JarrodTocci]

That's a very open ended question. I'm not sure if you mean rv or just the ford chassis itself. I'm honestly not sure and would have to do some digging myself. I do all the same research everyone on the internet does lol

[@TarianDavies-yj6qt]

Can please send all the build details!? I'm in the UK, I have a Mercedes sprinter TN1 4x4 high top, got the van sprayed, also best Rouge alloys fitted, now the next mission is the interior fit out. Can you please help? Love your van looks awesome. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@KatyInNH]

Ikey, please go to engineering, architecture or design school - you are a natural! Mechanical engineering schools would be after you with merit scholarship money - just show them your van! You are a natural engineer! The profession would benefit greatly from your talents and clear headed approach. Great tour Jarrod!

[@elizabethgigi8911]

What did he say...95% done!? I'm already thinking how awesome this build is and then he says he's not even finished yet

[@ckallen1546]

Well. I don’t have anxiety now. My van will be ready this fall (notice I type that with a loose time frame). Now I feel like I haven’t asked more of myself and van! Omg. We’re under achievers.

How do you change the filter on your under fan

[@ToothyBeej]

Nice build. Shout out Buffalo!
