Unboxing Smittybilt Overlander XL Roof Top Tent - Setup/ Install, Jeep Gladiator Eco Diesel (EP13)

[@mayhemsghost7813]

Really appreciate this video. Mine just arrived and I had no idea where to start. Lol

[@traveladventurexplore]

Right on!👍

[@Broke_Expat]

Thanks SO much for this review.... I also have a soft top and it took me a long minute to find out how the XL would fit on the Gladiator.... Good luck on your camping adventures !!

[@traveladventurexplore]

Thanks, good luck on yours as well!

[@jeffjohnson2792]

Thanks for sharing. Nice looking frame too (on truck), but I'd be careful about using unistrut for structual stuff. Should be fine for that setup tho.

[@traveladventurexplore]

Thanks for the comment!

I would recommend trying to buy the telescoping ladder that comes on the new gen2 version, in which I own, it’s way smoother, and in the long run its a better overall ladder. Have fun overlanding!

[@traveladventurexplore]

Thanks for the tip!

[@bradryan9851]

I have the gen 2 version and I'm buying a gladiator this weekend. This video helped alot with my decision on how to build my new rack. Thank you

[@karinacormell1203]

Has your rof rack held up ok? No major shifting while innthe tent? Have you thought about adding stuff to the sides of it.

[@traveladventurexplore]

It has held up quite well. The Colorado movie probably shows the add ons the most. There’s a shower, water tank and shower room drivers side, awning on rear, and traction boards passenger.

Great video and thanks for sharing! I just picked up a Smittybilt Overlander XL that I plan to mount on an adventure trailer I'm building. Can you tell me where you purchased your rack? Or did you fabricate it using Super Strut? I'm considering that option. Yours looks great and I'd love to replicate it on my trailer build! Thanks man! Got a new subscriber!

[@traveladventurexplore]

Thanks for the sub! Yeah we built the rack out of super strut. The video before this one was the rack build.

[@ryanwalters9190]

@@traveladventurexplore Thanks man! Just watched it. Nice work! Has it held up well for you? If so, I’ll most likely get to work on mine this weekend!

[@traveladventurexplore]

@@ryanwalters9190 yes, it has done well. It’s been a year and a half.

Finally found a video of the xl on a gladiator i just bought my tent today and was so worried about it fitting properly. About how far past the tailgate does it stick out?

[@traveladventurexplore]

👍

[@EverythingOutdoorsAndJeeps]

Any issues with the overhang from the tent while traveling?

[@traveladventurexplore]

The only issue was when I backed into a tree 😬😆

[@joshuablaine7320]

Hey great video. I just got the gen 2 xl tent. Not sure if the sizes are much different. Has there been any issues with the overhang? Any issues with someone sitting or sleeping on that side of the tent?

[@traveladventurexplore]

No issues at all. Even towing my v nose trailer has been fine.

[@pr4lviper]

[@traveladventurexplore]
