[@ahmednesbitte4906]

Hi Carter, Thank you for sharing the SEMA 2023 content. Love the videos!

[@samc9007]

Wish I was at SEMA would love to see all of the new overlanding gear just picked up a gladiator and 23zero tent . My family and I are camping as I write this

[@MAGNUMCASTLE]

Attica Gladiator 💪 and I need some more ROAM gear for the RTT I bought from you guys 😉

[@joshuasellers3962]

What is the message I got on my reply, saying Lucky Winner, like almost every other commenter?

[@aaronshagar]

Thank you for looking over the “Kicker Performance” Gladiator! That is “Gladys the Gladiator”. We just came back from a 10,000 mile trip through Alaska, BC, Canada, Oregon, Washington, Colorado and Utah. She is an heavyweight Overland Beast! Lot’s of fiends and contributors, we have built her to perform and last. The Alucab system has been flawless as has nearly every component we have worked with on this truck. We are out of South Lake Tahoe, Ca. We were honored to have our “real world vehicle” showcased at SEMA with our dear friends at Kicker Audio. Thank you again Forged TV for the mention. Cheers

[@campfirestories744]

Would have loved to see the stereo 0n the Kicker build

[@ernadcaus8603]

That 6x6 is beautiful!! 😍😍

[@johnsexton1703]

Favorite build... The Matchbox build! And I agree, angry grills should go away! lol

[@CowellIndustries]

Definitely the white rubicon is my favorite.

[@DM-tf6mk]

They are all pretty cool, but my really liked the white Go Light Gladiator and the first Real Truck Doetsch Off-Road Gladiator.

[@scottdonnelly8022]

Thanks for kicking off sema right

[@samc9007]

I love the wrap on the Attica gladiator

[@bradleystubbs4942]

Thank you! I did that one! 5 layers underneath the main grey wrap to give the mountains some “dimension”

[@tsmac4life]

Dana booth! With the Rebel Off Road rack system!❤❤❤

[@Forged4x4]

Love that rack system ❤‍🔥

[@MrDouglasDuncan]

Baja Design with the 42" is awesome. And of course Lite Bright Step Child!!!

[@spicymccrash899]

The Attica wrap has Altas vibes

[@jackiebeene9609]

The Gladiator with the Venturous bed cap

[@kirshberndt8412]

Stepchild is painted, not wrapped

[@jeepsbeforetime]

Yeah there is a full episode on the paint job

[@13ZONEZERO]

It’s a complete rip off of another build from a few years ago, choosing an original idea is not in their wheel house

[@Forged4x4]

Yup I've been getting flamed for saying that 😂 Thanks for the heads up though!

[@martinklaus2203]

@@13ZONEZEROshow the evidence for your statement. If what you are saying is true, I’d like to see for myself, because from what I’ve seen, there is a bunch of custom fab on their rig.

[@bockTV]

The gray Rebel Off Road Gladiator is 🔥

[@coreywallschlaeger210]

Great information and very cool products for the Gladiator, I liked the wrap on the Attica!! Thank you for the review!

[@rdmbuilds9962]

love the gray gladiator in the AIR DESIGN booth

[@sickjohnson]

Great video guys! Think that is a very rare custom paint job on the Redhead Stepchild Lite Brite...?

[@aymblogs]

The orange gladiator on the bolt both is my favorite 💯

[@Forged4x4]

SUper epic.

[@rodaragones3902]

Great coverage of SEMA

[@Forged4x4]

Appreciate the love! Having a blast getting this coverage for everyone!

[@marypeacock604]

Thanks for the tour!

[@seanswegman3151]

Gimme the White Camo Gladiator all day!

[@Matthew-wp1yl]

Rebel Off Road Jeep for the win. Super clean and functional without being crazy over the top.

[@jeffmuth6504]

The Rebel Off Gladiator is looking sweet!! I would not be touching everyone's rig.......

[@The1910studios]

RIGHT? Like who thinks its okay to touch other peoples things?

[@Forged4x4]

[@ronmalboeuf6617]

Love them all!!!!

[@explore_off_road]

You have to go back to the Matchbox Gladiator... Then film the Matchbox Gladiator on the dash. ... I do dig the BestTop rock sliders. Be perfect for the wife who is Vertically Challenged.

[@Forged4x4]

That was definitely a sick build, but "Vertically Challenged" killed me 😂

[@michaelmacdonald7342]

All nice builds, but for Canada the open backs would just let too much weather to get onto everything (road salt), some great topper options - the jeep aftermarket is awesome and limitless.

[@hahaha0086]

Besttop gladiator looks clean

[@1608aaditya]

This is the best video of all SeMa 2023.. Awesome builds..😍🤩😍🤩

[@jessirustad9360]

The jeep rebel is sick. Love the rebel off-road rack.

[@kanufrk1]

Dana build, hands down

[@David-li9gb]

Love the truck lock with roll up tonneau

[@Frostytravels]

Always like a chance at a product. Grat video by the way. Thinking the lite Brite is a paint job not a wrap.

[@mtnfvr]

Beautiful

[@texrec6309]

Full throttle batteries, Gladiator Nice build

[@livinMOPAR]

Dana Gladiator throw on the venturous top and you got it all

[@jeremypratt5158]

Step Child 3.0 paint job and build is sweet!

[@bailee.explores]

Crazy builds!!! Fav build would have to be any of the gladiators without the angry eyes 😂

[@Forged4x4]

🤣

[@brianwilliams3146]

I like the Bestop forest service jeep.

[@dlofton123]

that light brite jeep is painted

[@jsmakal61]

I like the rebel off-road build probably the best but there’s not really any bad options here

[@Forged4x4]

Pretty impressed by every build tbh 😉

[@fzner6844]

Awesome builds!

[@josuearenas3862]

The grey gladiator with the 42s on dana 60/80 definitely the best one.

[@laloolhouvum1634]

Mickey Thompson 2nd JT, Doetsch off road, The white JT Rubicon (unknown builder), The one with DVA from top to bottom, but without the angry grill and the hood mounted amber light-bar, Rebel offroad, Overland garage 4X4, Seymour, Adventure further's General with smaller tyres like 38/40 with lesser negative offset. The gray rebel off road and the overland garage 4X4 can't choose one. The general by Adventure further is an awesome build, but the tyres(42) and the super wide stand makes it all bad. 37.8 tyres would be amazing with a narrower stand. The worst build is the step child JLU Rubicon. I never liked the step child. It's a super spoil brat Jeep 4wd, just hated it.

[@jaxgsxr]

Great way to burn those 42's is swapping in a 392 Hemi or LS/LT. Swapped in a 6.4L Hemi in my JKU and it rips. 😎

[@JeepTJ1999]

I love the Mickey Thompson builds, any of the true overland builds. I don’t like the builds that I consider useless (20+ inch wheels, Angry grills, etc). Oh & by the way, Litebrite Nation’s Jeep is Paint not a wrap. Same guy that did FLEX, ROCK & ROLLOVER’s Commando did Kevin & Brittney’s 2018 JLU STEPCHILD.

[@dim9448]

Would love to go to SEMA someday

[@kennethmcfarland7097]

I like the orange on black Doetsch off road truck. And step child is definitely I kool paint job done after Marvin's jeepster

[@kennethmcfarland7097]

@ClickOnProfile517 hey so what do I need to do?

[@Derek-OverwaterOverland]

Best looking is the Matchbox @ 7:15

[@jamesrock3443]

That sting grey Rebel Off-road JT build has got my vote by far.

[@jamesrock3443]

@ClickOnProfile842 for real?!?

[@jamesrock3443]

Can anyone verify the legitimacy of @ClickOnProfile842?

[@kevinmcelheran4489]

Insane builds! Has me thinking some options for my build. Thanks for the tour. Wish I was there!

[@Forged4x4]

Always! My head is spinning from all the options for future builds 😂

[@michaelcrowley1172]

First one who builds kayak 2 or 4 ,easy access system wins big,slide out bed n tailgate when carring.just sayin. Otherwise will contune with longbed pickups, big opportunity out there.

[@mikeclark5879]

Sting gray Attica gladiator is crazy cool! The suction cup gladiator pretty cool as well! Too many cool builds to choose from! I’d have to go with the Attica build!👍

[@bradleystubbs4942]

Thank you!! I actually did the wrap on that! The video doesn’t do it justice.

[@steveewing7253]

Nice video. Fyi the Light Bright jeep is full custom PAINT job inside and out, not a wrap. They have a cool video out on the process on their KZbin channel. SICK as Brittney says!!

[@AOGfirearms]

That Attica gladiator is dope. I sure wouldn't kick it out of my driveway. Great video tour btw. Thanks

[@bradleystubbs4942]

The Attica Jeep… I wrapped. A lot of long nights and pride went into that. Thanks for the love!

[@The1910studios]

Thanks for the video but I don't think you should touch other peoples cars...

[@1smokan]

What fender delete kit was used on the rebel off road gladiator?

[@Forged4x4]

Honestly not sure 😟I'd hit them up!

[@adrianw3985]

I agree with you about the angry face grills on the Jeeps, I hate the way they look.

[@jaystyba37]

Awesome tour, I really enjoyed your comments. This really has me thinking about all the cool mods! Thanks!

[@scubad3170]

ALEX AND FRANKIE FROM GERMANY PAINTED THE STEP CHILD.

[@susanhaylett1306]

love the overlanding jeeps with all the options to mount all your gear on the rack - some day hopefully soon

[@Forged4x4]

🤞

[@joshuagagner2634]

4:56 in is almost my favorite and ideal build.

[@adventurefurtheroffroad]

“The Generals” top is a AT Overland Habitat. It just got back from a 5 week expedition in Alaska.

[@Forged4x4]

That's legit! Surviving over a month in Alaska? Now that's a solid product 😂

[@jacobusdegroot7557]

I thought I was the only one that doesn’t like the angry eyes. 👍🏻

[@FoggyBuzzard]

Not even a single firecracker red?

[@zmotorpro]

The Dana Booth Gladiator with 40s is a beautiful setup!

[@mikemckenna8530]

Love the Venturous Ozark cap! Thanks for the Gladiator tour!

[@robbyerob]

cool builds, great ideas from them all.

[@zaraedwards3355]

You should let us know what brand type tire with the size. Thanks

[@michaelgile5749]

As stated, Stepchild is painted, not a wrap!

[@kaaawaz]

The Bolt Gladiator is my favorite. Beautiful build!🤙🏼

[@Forged4x4]

The bobbed truck bed is wicked awesome.

[@kylespaargaren9311]

That bobbed bed is a bolt on option by motobilt don’t be fooled! Motobilt is top quality products. Also seen on the Mickey Thompson gladiator. There long bed version was on the patriot liner gladiator that was not seen in this video.

[@cracker_jacked_jlu]

LOVE that DOETSH OFF ROAD build!!!! Great coverage, thanks for letting us see the show. btw the Stepchild is not a wrap it's a one off paint job by the same two guys who did the "Flex Rocks and Rollovers" Jeep Commando you showed in your Wrangler video.

[@Forged4x4]

Doetsch does solid work 💪and yeah that fooled me good! Amazing paint job 🔥

[@TracyLeider]

I would love to sport some of your gear!

Did someone say giveaway? I love my Gladiator, just wish it was a bit more enjoyable on long road trips.

[@Michaelorteg]

Send it ! 🤙🏽

[@cajunqueen1971]

Okay the second Gladiator with the rebel rack and the RTT is my fave! I so want that build in my garage! I love my Bronco, but I would take that in a second!

[@kentchristen6048]

I just received an Alu-Cab Contour topper that I like very much. But if I had known about the Venturous, I probably would have gone with that instead . . . .

[@Forged4x4]

Not too late to swap 😉

[@kentchristen6048]

Nah, I just dropped $4200. I’ll take a big hit on the Alu-Cab and would have to figure out what to do with it until it sold. I’m content to be content.

[@Forged4x4]

@@kentchristen6048 Respect! Knowing me I'd be sitting on that Alu-Cab for years 🤣

[@spicymccrash899]

So far I like the DV8 overland rig. Bestop’s canvas doors and truck bed canopy really dug. Reminded me of those old GI Joe black or green style jeeps. Not really jeeps but had the desert tan doors. Always loved that.

[@carolynbentley]

Favorite JT build: Seymour build for us. Great color, wheels and bed cap. Very clean, no nonsense. Great Sema videos!

[@jas82mac]

Loved the SEMA Contant but I would like a Roam box for my Toyota👌🏼

[@mackenzieclancy959]

The door latch of any jeep works as a beer opener. Why do people keep mounting bottle openers to jeeps?

Love all the rigs, but the DV8 gray and orange gladiator tops the all! Hands down.

my favorite build was the second white gladiator that was on 40s

[@martinklaus2203]

The STEPCHILD wasn't wrapped, it was painted.

[@lajeeplife4170]

I have to go with The General as my favourite, but the Doetsch builds are top notch.

[@toddburnett3915]

The Doetsch Off-Road Gladiator in the Bolt booth is really cool!

[@robertg9514]

As a gladiator owner, I can say that this reminds me of a New York fashion show. How many people are REALLY going to outfit their gladiator to the levels shown. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a few things I would be happy to have, but most of it is impractical, expensive, and falls into having an insecurity complex. Not to mention, how many times are you really going to NEED anything displayed on these Jeeps? I’d rather put my money into something that earns interest, or the future of a child.

[@taz104]

Are any of those beadlocks DOT legal? Trying to decide between Method Bead Grip or True Beadlock DOT legal. Clayton OR lift is on the UPS truck....somewhere. :)

[@aiRxShop]

I bought my gladiator used and it already had the angry eyes… I don’t mind them; but I wish they still had the 7 spokes/vents. Seems kind of dumb to spend another 400-500 to replace it when that 500 could go toward a mod that’d has way more bang for the buck

[@jinx.jt22]

Hands down the Mickey Thompson on 42s with bobbed bed

[@state48_mojave14]

Bestop Forest Service build very nice setup, clean
