Gladiator Expedition Rigs

[FitfulGoat]

I’ve enjoyed my Fjal Raven stuff as well including some of their hiking pants. Another good brand for similar aesthetic, fit, function is Norrona.

Can't ever go wrong with Patagucchi!

The outside and inside of the camper are done, for now, so I'm thinking about the spare tire again. I'm running a small spare tire under the bed. I want to upgrade to a matching 38" spare tire mounted on the bumper. Below is a very nice option, but runs around $4,000. Has anyone else come across Gladiator bumper mount spare tire setups? Tell us about it.

I love that setup but at 4K it’s pricey, I did run into a hitch mount unit that’s similar if I remember correctly it’s about 2k here is a picture of it

Thanks! The hitch mounts look nice. Here's another full blown one. Does anyone have experience with these? I like a double swing out. One for the tire, and the other for diesel/gas/water storage. I carry a lot of diesel and gas around for my toys and don't want it inside the camper.

I think this one is $2400 US. You can replace the cooler with fuel/water storage.

These are the ones I've been keeping tabs on... but I'd personally try to do whatever it takes to keep something in the OEM location.

I love the look but would be concerned about a couple things.

Visibility of the tail lights.
The fulcrum affect of all that weight placed so far behind the rear axle. Keeping the center of gravity in the middle and low on an overlanding vehicle is ideal.

That does give you more storage in the bed.

Working with these guys on a custom bumper. Hoping it works out that I can get them to build it. Kind of combination of a double swing away with a box and bicycle carrier. Something similar to this. But no tire carrier on back since I'm running stock size tires and these ones attach to the hinges.

Wow, never heard of them before but their stuff looks really clean and well built. Thanks for sharing and please let us know how your rear bumper turns out.

Come on man, can’t you make one outta wood? ?

You're thinking too small! Here's my next project

I have some scratches from the last time in the woods. This time I brought an extension for my limb saw. This rig is tall!

I didn’t realize there were this many, I had only found two. Thanks for compiling this!
