Half Cab woody.

I think @steffen707 is going to have a heartattack...

We can even go with a tiny house on the Gladiator.

LOL, these are killer!

@Bobs85Reny , thank you for showing my brain what my heart already knew could exist

Now I can just buy some Mopar tube doors and get to work even before i buy a JT!

In this video, the guy from EVO says the following:

The bed and the frame are solid body mounted, so only the cab is hydraulic and rubber body mounted and the back is solid body mounted so we can do some cool stuff and attach the frame to the body and everything is moving together

Can someone explain that to a lamen like me? oh and does that mean that you could, or couldn't, have a topper that that spans the bed and the cab as one?

YES! Same question to the pros of the group. One of the most appealing features for me is the idea to have a top like Alu-Cab's Icarus span the entire truck....even if the pass through is smaller from the bed frame.

I really hope it can. This will give so many more options to tops and campers

And don't forget the portable pool bed.

I’ve been waiting for the dates to be released. This might deserve its own thread. I hope to be there with my gladiator.

Half rack exo skelton so top can still be removed. Also does not attach to window frame so windshield can still fold down.
