► Standard Disclaimer:
Putting your soft, squishy fingers near powerful sharp spinning things is dangerous. I've been doing this for a while and I know what I'm doing but even I'm not invincible. I take a lot of safety precautions based on my level of experience and not all of them are shown on camera. Don't do anything you aren't comfortable with. If it makes you nervous you're probably doing it wrong. Don't do anything stupid. Reapply sunscreen often and floss before bed. Is anyone actually still reading this?

The PLANS are for ANY TRUCK... They are based on relative measurements from YOUR truck bed. Sorry, I should have mentioned that in the video.

This is the first video of yours I've seen. The production value, filming, audio, editing, and of course, the build itself are all extremely high caliber.

I'm incredibly impressed, and you've earned an immediate "subscribe" from me. Kudos to you for your hard work, attention to detail, and creativity in creating everything this video has to offer. I genuinely look forward to seeing what you come up with next.

I can’t even imagine the number of YouTube videos I’ve watched over the years and this is the very first time I’ve ever had the thought, “wow this music is such a spot on choice and the balance with the commentary is absolutely perfect.”

Well done.

This is in the top 10 videos I've ever watched on YouTube

Thank you for creating another masterpiece after five years. I've watched one of your earlier camper video at least 100 times, and it's been in my liked playlist for the past five years. Thanks again for sharing this.

I am so glad YouTube suggested this channel to me. What an amazing talent you have! I am inspired by your work.

I use to be a Firefighter myself. I fell through the roof as I was cutting a ventilation hole. We didn't realize that the fire had eaten most of the structure there. I received a severe back injury from it. And I wasn't able to continue to work the truck. I was offered an office position. I declined and told my Chief that I was going into Trucking. Worse decision I ever made.

Thank you for your service! God bless you friend.

strong video to mark your return. i hope youtube algorithm doesnt punish you for being absent for a while and having inconsistent upload schedule.

Ive come to become increasingly jealous of people who own homes. The customization, space, and storage ability that comes with owning a home is something you can just never have in an apartment or rental.

Blake, I have had your previous build saved for years. Now you redesign it. The care and quality in every aspect of this video cannot be overstated. Huge respect.

Ive seen dozens of truck buildouts and this is by far the best thought out and executed one Ive ever seen. I love when talented wood workers have other hobbies, they always find a way to make hyper organized designs for everything they know they will need. Everything has a custom designed home for it and its incredibly satisfying

Man I think your truck is more comfortable than my house.

Almost 8 million views on my last overland truck drawer build is wild!

This is the redesigned system I’ve been working on since then.

Plans, materials, and the full gear setup from the video are here:

Curious what you all think of the new design!

that hollow for the cable in front is a nice touch

@ADanNeedsAName 3 months ago

Man, I gotta say your filming, the music, your design all of this is a masterpiece!

I don't know what I enjoyed most, the actual build itself, the production quality of the video or the fact that this was a master class in cool hardware! I learned so much and it made me consider possibilites for solutions to some of my truck problems. Thank you!

Never underestimate a man, his truck and a tape measure.
