What brand of coffee does she drink and what arm does it direct line into?

[@LiteBrite]

🤣🤣🤣

[@MrGaryGG48]

@@LiteBrite Tracy, you hit on my thought exactly! I'm watching this on June 20th (Father's Day), 2021 so it's been posted for a bit more than a year. First scene that came up was Brittany going nuts over a couple of pieces of steel rod to hold up the window shroud. I'm thinking, "She's bouncing off the walls like the cutest sugared up 5 year old you ever saw... and I just saw her have a birthday a couple of weeks ago. She's no 5 year old but sure would give one a run for her money!! 😁🤣 Kevin is about the luckiest guy walking... and I think he knows it!! 😁🤣🤣

I made it 10 seconds

[@TrailRecon]

Can't wait for the Ah Ha moments! LOL! Nice tent choice!

[@RockmanDash]

TrailRecon hello trail recon!

[@67wildwolf]

Yes Brad don't tell them!

[@DevonKocevski1]

"Oh there's holes in the actual base to put these rods into and then they stretch out the windowwwwssss....." EDIT: Hahahaha posted this before getting to the point in the vid. Guess we've all been there!

[@Matt02341]

Bring extra M&M’s!

[@eugeneenslow8563]

At 63, I'm definitely liking the fewer steps to get in the tent!!!

[@singletrack_king7700]

Fewer steps if you have some disabilities is a good thing lol

[@TheFatguyzinc]

i love jellybelly! and funny how things change, it used to be living in a tent or the back of a truck was called 'homelessness'--now its an 'urban camping experiment'.

[@bobvincent4841]

Cool video guys! On your tent there should be one tiny rubber o-ring on every steel rod (that holds out your window covers). Those little o-rings should be positioned near the bottom, about 2 inches from where the rod is inserted into the tent bottom. These rings cause rain to stop running down and to "drip-off" before it has a chance to run into the base of the tent. It's real easy to lose them when handling the rods and putting them back into the storage bag. Good news is they are cheap and easy to find if replacements are needed. Enjoy your new tent!!! I just got a TuffStuff Ranger RTT with annex room, for my PowerWagon and I LOVE it!

[@foote1967]

Nice! We got a couple of those ROAM cases for our Tacoma overland build. Using a canopy with the tent ontop we installed a bedslide that allows us to just pull what's in the bed out to the open.

[@andreipretorius92]

The gladiator is great. The Alaska trip will be so nice. You have everything you need.

[@meganbeal3633]

I am in love with the Roam rooftop tent! 😍Those cargo boxes are a great addition. I love watching you guys build the gladiator.

[@MrBillsfishin]

That Gladiator is turning into the ultimate dream truck. Great job on the build!

[@scottharding8042]

That's sooo cool! I love the fact that yu can just bug out for the weekend! Very good choice for the Gladiator!

[@moonchildjl2020]

I was going but was sick and didn't want to risk anyone. No matter my JL is sick and in the shop as well. Hope you will have a chance to have one when you all head up to Alaska or may catch ya on some trails....

[@BigWheelFab]

Just a helpful hind get you a couple short scrap 2x12’s to put under the legs for the tent slide. So they don’t sink in the mud or sand.

[@timken88]

Love that over that 😍 y'all done an awesome job. Hope you all are staying safe out there!!!

[@854RUN]

Heads up, the awning has 2 horizontal poles that come out and push out making it free standing

[@DevonKocevski1]

Thereeeeee's the tent! I asked a while back if you guys planned on tent but yeah didn't make sense with high CofG for the stuff you guys do but now you don't have to take things in and out and move stuff around for a bed, you just pop it open and done! Love my tent. Best thing ever for camping!

[@drewallen7028]

There is a Gladiator rolling around town on 37's. Looks a lot better than stock.

[@MACzerofourtwo]

Who knew tent poles were so exciting...that’s what she said 😉

[@johnswick4593]

Once again I fall for the thumbnail.

[@g.r.2985]

Come for the titties, stay for the review (disappointed of course)

[@exodusventures373]

Can you please tell me where to find the mount that the rooftop tent is on. It looks like you extend that off the back of the bed.

[@pullingtaffyproductions8148]

Really looking forward to your trip with Brad & Marco and whoever else is lucky enough to be going🙌🙌🙌🍻

[@michaeldurling793]

Kevin, not that height matters but what you may lack in vertical attainment you make up exponentially in positive attitude and enthusiasm.

[@jimyeats]

I really like how the term "Overlanding" has evolved, particularly in the U.S.. It basically is now used interchangeably with camping. No one "camps" anymore. Everyone "overlands". No one goes on a "road trip" anymore where you stop at cool locations and camp, or visit a park, or do whatever cool thing, it is now...OVERLANDING! But, that rigs pretty cool. Overland on!

[@dobrzpe]

yea! i always have and always will be calling it 'car camping'. and i LOVE doing it!

[@markcargile9123]

I KNEW it was getting a ROAM rent! Very cool!

[@jamesbarber9852]

Wow that tent is super Awesome! Great choice! I really wanted to go see you guys there but got stuck working till 8pm. The gladiator is becoming unbelievable!

[@moongold9025]

Love that setup for the Gladiator. So Awesome! It would be so cool for the beach this Summer indeed. Fun in the Sun & Shade. 😎

[@bryangivens9881]

You guys are doing a great job! Can't wait to test out my new gladiator you're building up here in the PNW!

[@zain-zeus]

Great choice, when it comes to rooftop tent ROAM is the best 👍

[@austinbruce3530]

Wow that rig is looking better every video keep up the good work

[@NelsonLoe]

I had to drive my Jeep to work today instead of my regular work truck. I miss driving it. We are close to a covid sponsored travel restriction between towns here in Northern Canada. I put the 35 on 2 weeks ago and have had to cover my cross shift due to where he lives travel restriction. Ot dont matter when you have nowhere to go. Lets hope we all get out of this soon. Jeep on.

[@FitChaser]

Great product description guys! Gladiator is looking great.

[@darrenroos6408]

"That's what those poles are for!!" Life's simple pleasures....figuring out the assembly of a tent. Haha.

[@trjnsd6874]

"...that's what she said..."

[@chadmorrison_]

that tent HAS to be made in the same facotry as CVT tents. my shasta looked exactly alike minus a few interior stuff. such a badass tent i really loved it a lot, super excited for you guys

[@kg1211]

OMG I am dying right now!!! I can see Marco and Brad are going to be getting a huge belly laugh from your shear excitement of overlanding toys!!!!

[@DevonKocevski1]

@21:57 is that Marco!?

[@OVRLNDX]

How awesome!!!! Nice!!! ROAM

[@zumezoom9593]

send the link to where I can get that slide out self tilting thingy, please.

[@LiteBrite]

This is a pre-production model by American Adventure Labs!

[@scotquigley513]

I like the slide out "drawer-tent". That's great that it's totally out of windstream. Need a spunky travel partner like Litebrite! I do have a couple of security mutts (Iri & Razta). My rig is a 20 yr old ZR2.

[@travishudson66]

Bummed I missed the WA meet and greet, but my work schedule wouldn't allow it. The Gladiator is looking ready to tackle some epic adventures!!

[@americancitizen4259]

Lol Jelly @14:38 "stiiillll waitin here boss"

[@JLURBilletSilverMetallic]

Love me some Jelly !! Fantastic storage ideas with the roam boxes and the tent is great !

[@matthawkins1287]

CVT tents has had all those features and much heavier duty materials in their summit series for a long time now.

[@cre8tiv_spirit295]

So do the legs under the tent base adjust for different heights like the ladder? Also, how do they fold up when you are storing the tent?

[@LiteBrite]

Yes, the adjust up and down to accommodate the pivoting feature of the bed rack. And this is a prototype, but the final design should allow the legs to fold up. 😊🤙

[@DirtbagsMTB]

Cool stuff! Really appreciate you guys building this thing up for me! Hahaha

[@GT32004]

What is missing is fridge and cooking stuff lolll😉🙄😋😜🤪

[@overtheclouds9]

Awesome!! Stay safe guys

[@bryankerr69]

Would love to have one for the bed of my Silverado. Great video.

[@cesarquintanilla1264]

So cool would love to win this build. Great job on the work. Can't wait to see you out in the wild with it.

[@CombinationMadness]

That tent is glorious, super awesome addition to the foster child and love the awning! I feel your pain Kev, I’m vertically challenged as well man lol so I woulda used those as step stools too lol

[@highwaykev4903]

Gladiator to me is a awesome overland! I am loving the bed rack it's what I would want. I am not expecting to win but I will one day have a gladiator overland build. Right now building my JK and gonna carry a tent when I head west on my trip either this year or next. Appreciate the build videos and all the other videos stay safe and looking forward to meeting y'all one day.

[@AndrewTurner251]

This has been one of my favorite parts of the build I’m really into the overland/car camping scene so the tent and awning are really cool and those boxes are super neat. Good job.

[@dirtsailoroff-road5580]

just FYI you can open the windows on the inside to reach the outer rainfly to put them up, you dont have to stand on a box lol.

[@bryannelson2020]

You guys are so awesome 😎

[@BigStig2point0]

Does anybody know why AAL made the bed rack shorter than I feel it needs to be? Example at 18:19 in video, great side shot, but it is already only a 5.5 foot bed, but then the rack is like 4.5 feet in the middle of that...there is just so much room between the cab and the rack and then also the rack and the tailgate? I do see that the sliders seem to poke out on the cab side and are closer to the window than the rest of the rack, but then at the same time you can't see the front of the tent, it seems very rear justified, so why do the sliders even need to stick out like that/why wouldn't you just make the rack the same length as the sliders? Anyway...I love the concept but this little thing has always tweaked my ocd a little, lol.

[@Mannix007]

Hey guys. Great vid! Are you going to put a fridge in the back seat or rearrange the bed area?

[@precioussyiem6791]

According to your experience which jeep is better between Rubicon & Gladiator.

[@jesserenovato6594]

Errmahgurr?!?! This is coming along So Great!!! Can’t wait to win it! 🤣😂🤣💚✌🏼

[@js-dz5bs]

WOW my rig is looking pretty good ! :-) You two are doing a great job and so entertaining along the way .

[@LifeOfDaDon]

what size awning is that?

[@loganholmberg2295]

Its nice but I hope you're putting a fridge/freezer in somewhere? You need a place to store food. You can easily get by without on of those fancy kitchwhen setups with a portable grill and stove but a fridge is a must IMO. Coolers just don't cut it when you can get very efficeint DC fridges and a solar setup.

[@robthebruce_81]

How many times do they say super?!

[@trjnsd6874]

About as many times as they say "Dope!"

[@johnk7093]

awesome vid, cool to see you in my home state of WA... but you think its cold there... come see us in Montana..............

[@kevinanderson6979]

On the awning are there arms on each side that come out so you dont have to stake it down? Thought I saw a couple up where it folds into.

[@LiteBrite]

THIS is why we should read instructions 🤣🤣

Damn, love the tent! Cant wait to use that bad boy when I win.... ;)

[@fubar1217]

Shoulda gone with the iKamper hardshell roof tents.

[@Grumpy_old_Boot]

That is a lovely tent ! 😁 Also, once you camp in the desert, you see the wisdom of putting your shoes up off the ground … 'cause Scorpions like to sleep in shoes.

[@Roadrunner-cq1hy]

She is a hype man for every piece of the tent

[@jayjohnson1581]

Can you do a video of you pulling the Roam tent from under its mount. I’m curious how difficult that part is before you actually get to folding the tent out.

[@LiteBrite]

Yes! We have an overland trip coming up that will show a lot of the Gladiator build in depth (along with our ineptitude at overlanding or adulting lol)

[@jayjohnson1581]

@@LiteBrite Haha! well I am learning through y'all! My wife and I are currently stationed overseas and are excited at the idea of getting home (in May 2021) and starting OUR adventure in overlanding as well! I'm fortunate that I found your channel so i can see what to expect! Keep it up!

Can the gladiator still get fully naked with the bed rack installed?

[@jime.angulo4151]

I was wondering if the tent goes in a little further when not in use? I just want to know so when I win it I can do that lol!

[@guidok3762]

Great set up, just the way I would build my Gladiator ! Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱❤️🇺🇸

[@lylejohnson4425]

So awesome

[@Chazzz61]

Giday Guys just a note the awning also has telescope side poles that complete the frame so it’s self standing! But you most likely work that out by now ! Enjoying your adventures from Australia great content

[@LiteBrite]

We had no idea until a couple of people commented!! I guess this is why instructions exist. 😅😅😅

[@Chazzz61]

Lite Brite Yes sometimes I’m just as guilty! 😂

[@Jonh741]

That’s pretty cool that you sign everyone’s vehicles. Maybe someday we’ll meet and you can sign my JL!

[@daveclark2256]

I love the tent top! The storage boxes are a nice addition. Take enough food, and i could camp for a month at a time with this set up.

[@carlosvale8198]

I love the setup, but I don't get the tent at that height?, the space under need is only good for little kids. Also love those boxes!

[@LiteBrite]

Lower center of gravity for offroading and leaves the top of the rack open for bikes or kayaks or whatever else you want up there

[@jakeschumacher5683]

Just curious, but how does this whole rack and rent hold up to car washes when it’s put away (obviously). And rust! You guys should have a liner under the bottom to fight rust in the future assuming the Jeep goes to me up in the rust belt (or someone else up here).

[@withintheglass2170]

Jake Schumacher I’m pretty sure the diamond plate bottom is aluminum so that should rust

[@2jestry2]

Where is the food storage and prep area going to be located?

😳😳 You mean....the lunchables and mountain house meal area?

[@Roadrunner-cq1hy]

Are you not supposed to shoot from the annex

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

You guys are such spazzes. I LOVE IT. Don't ever change. Oh and Brittany, I've been stuck in Washington for 44 years. It does kinda suck here sometimes lol.

[@shawnm2597]

I was wondering why you did not mount the tent on the top of the rack, instead of putting it inside the rack on a slider? It seems you would have more room in the bed if the tent were up on top so you could put a fridge on a slider, and maybe a power bank of some type and double stack more boxes or some type of drawer system and a cooking stove with propane tank? Just curious why you put the tent underneath instead of on top?

[@LiteBrite]

The entire purpose of the slider is for a tent. The slider itself pivots once fully extended, allowing you to level a tent no matter the terrain you’re on (so you don’t have to waste time and energy finding flat ground or leveling your vehicle to set up camp). This also leaves the top of the rack available for bicycles, kayaks, canoes, skis, snowboards, etc etc depending on what other hobbies you have or enjoy while camping and traveling. We did an overview of the rack system on our SEMA video where it was debuted

[@ursus353]

By the time that you guys get through with this build, you are going to wind up keeping the Foster Child, and giving away the Step Child...😁🚙

[@davidmoran6398]

This is turning into an insanely good build. I think this video is the tipping point.
