This past year I took on a new job as a fishing tackle sales rep. And I have always had this hidden desire to live like a nomad. I almost did it back in 2008 but I didn't have any employment lined up that would let me do it. Fast forward to now and I finally have my dream job and the ability to live and work as a nomad but I have very different motivation to do it now.

In this video I give you walk through on my current setup. The truck is a 2018 Nissan Frontier Pro4X Crew Cab. I had an A.R.E CX cap installed on the back of the truck and this forms the backbone of my build. Due to only having a 58inch truck bed I need a way to extend things out so I could sleep in the back of the truck and that is where the Nomad from Topperlift came. I hope this build will give you ideas for your budget overland nissan frontier. This is the start of my overlanding diy truck camper slash working on the road build.

These three parts are the building blocks for my truck camping setup/build. Below are links to some of the items I use some are affiliate links.
