I really hope manufacturers understand the importance of videos like this. The overland and off road worlds are rife with knock offs, cheaply made crap, and built in China sub-par items. Being able to create and maintain buyer confidence in your brand and product really goes a long way these days. This is especially true when wait times are (for some manufacturers) over 6 months. Putting down such a large amount of money on a product you're not confident in, from a manufacturer you're not confident in, is a non-starter for many of us. I've been looking for an adventure topper for my truck for a while, and GFC just shot from the middle of my list to the top, by creating confidence in their product, process, and people. As a consumer, thanks to both Shawn and GFC for making this vid.
@TheStoryTillNow2 жыл бұрын
Glad the video was helpful! I really like seeing more products in this space built in North America and with quality in mind. Living out of my truck so much, good quality and service for the parts I run are a must. Cost is less important to me than quality and supporting small companies.

Another great option is the Harker Outdoors EDC built in Bountiful Utah. The GFC and Alu-cab require crawling through the tailgate rear hatch area. Also on the Harker, with the visibility package, allows the inside rear window to tilt out to clean the Gladiator’s rear window.

I look at it like this: I live out of my vehicle 25% of the year or more. I need certain functions out of my truck and if it makes my life/work easier, it’s not so much of a cost. For many it may be out of their price range/overkill, and that’s totally fine. I’m not trying to sell anything here, this is just what I’m using for me. 👍🏻

@@TheStoryTillNow Brutha, for you this totally makes sense, and dont get me wrong, it is an amazing setup, and I wish I could afford something like this, for me, it would be a lot easier to get in and out of with my legs in the shape they currently are, if I could bring a small ladder.. Its just too expensive for the average person, granted it is cheaper than a camper.
