Talk about a happy man! I have always loved watching Dave. He has taught me so many things. 3 weeks ago I buy a Gladiator and find out Dave will yet again be teaching me things! So excited
You can tell this truck was put together by a guy who has done alot of product research.....very well curated product selection Dave..... everything looks like it came from the factory
I must confess a certain degree of vicarious pleasure watching you rolling out this bad ass rig.
Definitely entered the zone of badassery.
Nice to see you're setting yourself up a fine rig to go wander about in. Add a composting toilet and it'll nearly have castle status.
I have no Gladiator, I have no equipment for car camping. But I very much appreciate this series for some reason.
This series on your Gladiator build is great. Thank you for this. Been a jeeper for many years and I used this to verify and learn about some new systems and gear.
It would be interesting to see an update a year later of what you still use or what you have changed.
Thanks again, appreciate your channel.
what would be amazing is if these two companies got together and made a version for more disabled people that can't crawl on their knees or climb a ladder easily. I'm thinking The cap with the folding tent built into the roof, so open top in the cap. Steps that fold down from the tail gate. Tent rotated with opening in back and you can walk up the tailgate with the steps. Tent folds out on passenger and driver side, allowing a passage through the middle so someone can stand in the middle (physically inside the truck bed, and the beds of the tent are to either side length wise. Allowing one to sit and lay down. Instead of crawling in on hands and knees up and down a ladder.
Check out alucab they have somthing similar to what u may be looking for
Really like that set up and the world map is a nice touch.
You should look into one of those steps that hangs on your tire. Might help with deployment and stowing of your tent! Just a thought.
She's coming together nicely, love the series so far!
Wow, this is a long way from the 21 century long hunter, but I like it.
From a menards canvas tarp to rooftop tent ya!
You got an awesome setup coming together I'm loving this series
The side straps seem to need a bit of refinement. There are a few Australian designs where they have internal bungee cords to pull the sides inwards when packing down. No need for any straps or tucking in the sides. Might be something to look at by adding bungee cords,maybe adding some grommets or tabs inside to accept the hook part of the bungees. Cheers for the walkthrough.
Pretty cool video. Not sure if I'm into climbing up the ladder but it looks cool. It seems to be a lot faster to set up than a tent. Loving the build on the truck.
Hello, following you from here in the Amazon jungle, Brazil. Be prepared!!!
What are some benefits of having this heavy/expensive rooftop tent vs a good ground tent? How has it effected your gas mileage and the ride of the Jeep?
In my experience, the roof top tent is faster to setup, is unaffected by water pooling on the ground during storms and offers a full size mattress which is about 4" thick.
I have a smitty built on a Subaru gas mileage loss for me was 6 miles going the speed limits and 8 mph driving 80 and how ever I want. Weight of my tent is 109 pounds. I leave all my blanket and pillows in the tent even when close. I use it snowmobiling with a Mr buddy heater and love it. Never get dirty mine takes one person about 10 lazy minutes to put up and take down maybe. I have never taken it off with 38,000 miles on the car with the tent used for 3 years now and used about 100 times. I got 63 winter days camping and snowmobiling just last year alone. I love it. Sry dont know about jeeps gas mileage. But if your worried about gas you most likely can't afford to get a rtt
Man that whole jeep set up is pretty much perfect for me
That is one badass set up.
Awesome tent setup Dave.
OMG I'm loving this setup. Very nice.
You'll get better closing it, you have to grab those side straps as you pull down, I always velcro the ladder up. I bring a cut off broom handle to tuck excess sides sticking out. it goes pretty fast. Great set and one or the best out there.
Dave you pretty much put together a bomb proof outdoors man dream set up, throw a pack raft in the bed of the truck and I don't think there is much that could hold you back in the outdoors.
Be careful on those ladders can be hard on bare feet, and know of a few who taken a spill off them. A mates missus broke her leg and hip getting tangled up in one as well as smashed faced that hit the ground. Slow 5 hour drive to get her to where the flying doctors could pick her up from. Another bloke I worked with ripped all his knee up falling off one three parts pissed. A lot in Australia are going away from the roof top tent and back to towing a camping trailer or swags. Check your weights as well many exceed the roof or racks load limits.
Cool tent! That would give a person a little more security around Black Bear even though they can climb well. It's been a few years since I looked at that stuff it got expensive to buy a truck camper.
What is your suspension set up? Did the cap and tent cause any rear sagging?
Bad A F... Love your setups... looking forward to seeing you do more ...
Love the series Dave!! Keep the vids coming brother.
Love the name of the Jeep🥰
What rhino rack load bars are you using? I’ve got the rsi smartcap that I’m putting a RTT on and need load bars.
Very skeptical of this design to hold up under an even moderate wind/rain storm
It actually holds up,extremely well
not to mention the price
Not a new design, been around for a couple years. Videos of people using it in severe storms and wind are available
👍👍 Nice!!! Heck...you get a solid mobile hot spot with a screaming laptop for video editing to go with this rig and you pretty much got the whole enchilada. 🤔
Great video Dave, very informative. Is there enough room inside to store blankets or sleeping bags?
Any whistle in the 2k miles? How’s the stitching and seems for longevity? I was given a Smitty built but quality had my eye!
Dave, I have some reservations about a heavy, expensive, cumbersome piece of gear to solve a problem that never existed in the first place. Some vehicle tops simply aren’t designed to carry the load. Any vehicle needs to have robust (read expensive) connecting adaptors. Any vehicle will suffer a MPG penalty.
I know that you are an experienced, analytical person. So it must be worthwhile to you. What advantages of an off the ground on top of a vehicle type rig system am I missing? Please help us out here?

Wow you built one badass jeep
Sure got you a nice truck buddy .. I want to do something like that with my tundra..
Now THAT was COOL!
Homeboy got him a rooftop tent! Livin' large now brother. Congrats man, I'm jealous! Enjoy that thing Dave. Thanks for the video!
Luv your videos mate! What’s your view on the smart cab? any long term problems etc water leaks and dust issues?
Shout out from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Awesome video and tent. Hope you enjoyed the trip to Salem, Ma love my new england plenty of nice places to visit 😁👍🏼
Excellent setup…
Those key 🔑 locks freeze..??
WOW!
a nice piece of freedom!!
Cool!
That`s pretty neat Dave
This is amazing!
Dave,
I would suggest that you look into a roof rack that isn’t so tall. I’ve seen them on other RUclips videos. Lowering the tent base a few inches would be positive for several reasons.
Actually it was not shown in this video so that the clamps could be easier viewed but I use that space for storing my Max Trax so it works well for me.
Super cool!👍👍👍
Sweet rig.
I think the hammock with the tarp over it is the way to go. Unless you are traveling with your wife. Then, things change.
Way cool Dave.
Need one of those tents.
What is the music my friend, very soothing. Awesome stuff
Does it pool water on the fabric?
You get some nice things.
Freedom!
Top stuff mate hehe you see what I did there Top stuff because it's on the roof haha I'm so funny. Sorry people. Great stuff mate
How in the… was just looking at these online today.
Super nice
Awesome set up OllllllllO
How does it fair in bad weather? I have a gladiator and am looking for a RTT
Have not be in crappy weather yet, but there are several videos on YT that address this
I cant get onboard with these…. Having your vehicle unusable until you break down the tent is a dealbreaker for me
How do you charge your solar?
On the roof of the Jeep
It looks good .my hoes would love to have that cha cha in the woods
dang David you can set up a tarp and hammock faster
Not a chance
👊👀👍
Ehhh not for me. Still waiting on a follow up for the Russian bear tent.
Nice 0lllllll0
First
To over engineered and finicky. I expect better from Dave. Simple is best.
