We caught up with Matt Maier @_bigbearoverland at Overland Expo and he showed us his latest build. Not only is everything funcitonal, it's neat, tidy and painted to match! Most impressive was his completely custom camp kitchen slide out. It has everything. Built-in tables, gas stove and tons of storage.
Got questions about the rig? Ask @_bigbearoverland on instagram. He'll know better than us ;)

Very practical and simple.
Love this setup!
Thanks!
Brother... you just gave me like a years salary of parts I need for my rig. Thanks a lot! 🙄😂 I work in rural areas all over the country and camp as often as possible so I'm building my '22 Tacoma into an overland rig with an M416 trailer to hold my tent and kitchen.
Awesome! Good luck with the build.
That kitchen is crazy. I'd definitely like to copy that for my trailer
Glad you like it!
Wow. That are a sick rig⛺️👍🏻Just love it❤️
Happy to hear it!
VERY well thought out .
Thanks!
That's a super nice build. Congrats
It sure is
very nice I have a double cab tacoma myself.
They're great trucks, and very popular for good reason! Thanks for the comment.
Badass!
Thanks!
Just got a tacoma and this is definitely a great direction I may go. Looks amazing
Right on! Best of luck with your build.
Excelente camioneta amigo
Thanks!
Matt’s always rockin the cool gear! 👊🏼👊🏼
You got that right!
On the KC Hi-Lites wire hider, how did you install that? Did you have to remove the windshield and remove the oem windshield side trim?
You'll have to check with @_bigbearoverland on IG. We just filmed the walk around.
Super kitchen.. I like to build similar one, but i want to place water tank 80l, on top of it , any suggestions?
We're not sure. 80l would be a lot of weight.
So who made your slide kitchen? It's a very nice design.
In the video Matt mentions it was made by Finn Fabrication, but we don't have their contact info.
Pineapple lol
How about providing a link to fin fabrication. I am looking for a possible slide out kitchen
It appears their site is down. Check with Matt at @_bigbearoverland on IG. He might have some info.
What's that kitchen system weight empty? Packed?
You'll have to check with @_bigbearoverland on IG.
@@BlueRidgeOverlandGear don't have ig.
How's the power on that truck for all those weight you put on it?
You'd have to check with the owner. He's tagged in the description.
My god. At some point theres “too much” and this is tacoma is too much. Especially the interior… The best part imo was the tire carrier
Haha. To each their own, I guess. That slide out is an exercise in space utilization, but obviously not for everyone.
