  1. How/where to mount rooftop solar with cap?

    I guess the first question should be, are you looking for a permanent solution for power, or does this need to be removable to use the truck for other things when you're not out camping? If you don't want to build something into your rig, then power stations work well enough, but if you're...
  2. would you let your 18 year old have a Jeep

    I think it largely depends on the area. I don't they are a great vehicle for inexperienced drivers in any climate that gets significant snow or ice. A Wrangler is too light and too short of a wheelbase which leaves for a sketchy drive on any slippery road, and you don't want them running in 4x4...
  3. JTdiRtyD ever changing build, trip reports, and BS thread

    Yeah when I redesign the bed build I'm going to try and build in bedding storage, then I can just pop open one of the floor panels and toss the bedding up top. I also noticed when closed up the floor that folds in doesn't go all the ways to the back side, so there may be some room there to...
  4. JTdiRtyD ever changing build, trip reports, and BS thread

    You regulars here might already know this, but BIG UPDATES: The Rebel half rack and Topoak tent have officially come off and were replaced with the Campone Unilift Combo. Very excited about this, as it allows me to fit in the garage! I haven'ttaken much for photos yet, but I have my initial...
  5. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    <------- I have a build thread, but haven't updated much with this latest stuff. I'll be updating it soon, but honestly I have been so busy trying to get everything done that I haven't taken much time to take photos or notes on what I've been doing. I can say the drawers are most likely...
  6. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Not today, but recently; Received and installed the Campone Unilift Combo camper shell and trying to figure out how I want to build out the back of the truck now. Also rebuilt the enclosure for my drawer system. Was originally out of 1/2" ply, now it's out of 3/4" hardwood ply and much...
  7. Campone Cantilever Canopy Tent? Anyone seen this design before?

    I talked about this in my video. You could, in theory, use a mount like the 813fab one and mount it on top of the crossbars. I had designed my own mount similar to 813s for my old setup. The negative I see to this: When stowed your awning is going to stick up over your truck. Most folks I've...
  8. Campone Cantilever Canopy Tent? Anyone seen this design before?

    I started a new thread for the review stuff. I was originally going to just edit this one into a review, but I decided against editing the pain post and title and confusing new readers. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/campone-unilift-combo-camper-shell-review-thread.109268/
  9. Campone Unilift Combo Camper Shell Review Thread

    I decided to start a new thread for my initial impressions and review of the Campone Unilift Combo camper shell. I didn't want new readers to get lost in the first few pages of the original post before getting to the good stuff. You can read through the original conversation about it here...
  10. Campone Cantilever Canopy Tent? Anyone seen this design before?

    I'll get some measurements posted.
  11. Campone Cantilever Canopy Tent? Anyone seen this design before?

    You could, but I don't think it would have enough affect on it. You'd either stop water from running down the enclose side, or you'd stop water from running back down the door, but not both. I have some 1/16 in rubber mat that I'm going to cut down to roughly 3 inches width that I'll fix to the...
  12. Campone Cantilever Canopy Tent? Anyone seen this design before?

    Agreed. I have the annex room for my Topoak, if the Topoak awning zips to this Campone tent, then the annex would as well. The downside with annex rooms and this particular setup is the lower height. With my Topoak the walls were too long for a tent being mounted lower on a half height rack, so...
  13. Campone Cantilever Canopy Tent? Anyone seen this design before?

    You sleep the other way, not lengthwise with the bed. When the tent is open it's roughly 6'6" bed length IIRC, but I'll verify when I get home.
  14. Campone Cantilever Canopy Tent? Anyone seen this design before?

    I think I know what you're getting at. The Topoak awning comes with extendable poles. It zips to the tent on one side, and then you put the poles up on the other side and then tie them down. This is not a freestanding design. For some folks thats a deal breaker because they only want a...
  15. Campone Cantilever Canopy Tent? Anyone seen this design before?

    Do you have a link? I'm not sure how you could make something freestanding when it doesnt have a solid fixed mounted base.
  16. Campone Cantilever Canopy Tent? Anyone seen this design before?

    Alright, video "should" be up tonight as long as I can get the audio from my mic to sync right. But in the meantime here are some cliff notes. Things I like: - All aluminum and welded main construction, not bolted together together like some of the other aluminum caps out there. - Locking...
  17. Campone Cantilever Canopy Tent? Anyone seen this design before?

    You can call the number you posted earlier in this thread. Otherwise message Rosen here: https://www.facebook.com/Ccewool/ I'm working on the video now. Hopefully have it up tomorrow, but we are also heading out of town on thursday for the weekend so if I can't get it done for tomorrow it'll...
  18. What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

    Welp, there it is. Another thing I need. Actually these would make a lot of sense. A little easier to reach vs trying to step up onto a 37in tire. Yep I need one of these too... I also need one of those in the background also...
  19. Your favorite folding camp chair....

    We have the 23Zero Springbak and like them. We have tried quite a few folding chair options and we find these the most comfortable. They've taken a beating being tossed around in the back of the truck on rough trails...
  20. What's the best purchase you've made for your Gladiator under $200?

    I think it was all under $200, but the Wolfbox G930 mirror. I can see out the back, record front and back, and I added a camera to the trailer so I can see behind that now as well.
