LOVE this stuff! Basically a very expensive and more hard-core version of what we built. Same Principle. Thanks for the video!

[@kirkwoods6810]

Nice rig but...I don't care how many bells and whistles it may have, there is no way it's worth $450k.

[@justfreedude]

🤷‍♂️haters gonna hate

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

And what are you basing that value on?

[@markorz1]

450k actually seems very reasonable for a rig like this. What should it cost in your opinion?

[@louskunt9798]

Not even worth $150k to me. Not by a long shot. It is cool, though.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

@@louskunt9798 I’m curious how much you think Kevlar and carbon fiber cost. Plus all the electrical, cabinets, liquid shock suspension, engineering and design so this will actually survive off road, etc. This isn’t some dude in his garage building a shell out of straight fiberglass. 😂😂🤦🏼‍♂️

[@davidritacurl797]

Those are stinking awesome, and if I had an extra $500K and traveled a lot, I would love to have one...

[@ForWildsSake]

Wow, what a great video Matt and Kara. Thank you for visiting Global X and taking our truck out. We truly appreciate the effort you put forth to present an honest option on this type of overland travel. My wife and I are close to retirement, own a well equipped gladiator with a Super Pacific canopy camper and have been on a lot of the trails you have on your patron channel. For Arkansas and Missouri, the Gladiator is the perfect. We are planning a 2-3 year full time trip to explore the Canadian Rockies, Alaska, Baja, and Maybe even South America. The essence of overlanding is vehicle based travel over long distances to experience multiple types of topography and cultures. I cant imagine having a better home base for such an adventure. Considering the camera gear will bring and the need for 4 seasons of clothing, the extended time and distance of off grid travel, this type of Rig is ideal, Can it go where my Gladiator Can, heck no. But my intent for off roading on a long distance trip is to take my wife and I to the most beautiful locations for dispersed camping, photography, and enjoyment of the outdoors. This Rig can do all of that and more while remaining comfortable, which ultimate leads to a longer trip with greater experiences. Thanks again, we love you guys and will see you on the trails.

[@markperza384]

Matt and Cara that's amazing!! What an adventure to be able to take that!!

[@ahmednesbitte4906]

Hi Matt and Cara, what an amazing truck. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@Lcg503]

How cool was that. I remember seeing this vehicle at Moore. It was extremely cool meeting you both at Moore. ❤❤❤

[@OurVetures]

My new favorite term!“Bougie Frenchie” Looks like a nice rig!

[@vengeanceoverland]

That is an impressive rig. Holy cow 🤙🏻🇺🇸🏔️

[@moretoknowshow1887]

I like seeing real world use of this ride, unlike some other “van life” KZbinrs ;)

[@bgentle89]

That's super cool. I'm fairly sure I saw that truck driving by Fort Leonard Wood the other day!

[@DaveSki86]

Been a hot minute since I’ve watched a video (maybe a year) but my goodness Cara is looking great! I’m on my own weight loss journey and it’s never easy! The Ozarks is looking beautiful right now and can’t wait to get back down and relax next to some healing water. But GladeTop is such a great spot for new Overlanders, always try to bring a group from KC down for a weekend or two!

[@maddrummerhef]

These are so cool. Limiting in some ways I’m sure but id love to see someone doing a KZbin channel regularly with one of these (hint hint lol)

[@leroymoore76]

it's alot of money but so are many things we like. it could easily pull a jeep or another vehicle. and would be nice to come home to after a day on the trail. plus you can write off the interest payment as a rv just like a home . enjoyed the video. thanks

[@blackcatrose4257]

Just two things rainhead shower and washer/ dryer combo you wouldnt have to locate laundry mat. Lol perfect bug out vehicle 😂😁😁😁😁

[@Expeditionmarc]

Im wondering which one 🤔. Lol great video buddy!

[@MissouriAdventures]

It’s nice having Glade Top about an hour from home.

[@PJKLEIN1973]

Besides the suspension being changed what else on the chassis? Gears, lockers, power upgrades? Beast of a rig!

[@steveo6622]

Cool if you were on glade top trail you were in my back yard. Really looked like it. Awesome rig. But I cant swing it. But if ya could would be great.👍🏻

[@kevinp2820]

That’s SICK!

[@Eric_Broome]

I didn’t even know this model existed, it’s not even on the website. I love this, where do I get more info on it

[@chrisbernard8985]

Loved the video as usual, and Izzy is absolutely adorable!! Start breeding those long haired Frenchys and u will be able to afford one of those monster trucks soon enough. I just think for a solo driver it would limit the locations u can get to just because of the size

[@kalenward3224]

I've got to get me a tag like the one on the red Gladiator love it

[@davidchristensen2898]

Perfect timing of your video ! Looking at the GXV Next myself. Out of curiosity, what kind of fuel mileage were you getting on your little trip ?

[@squartube]

WHAT !! 450K!! COOL THINGS LIKE THIS ARE BECOMING UNREALISTICLY UNATAINABLE

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Things like this were never attainable except to the few that could afford them.

[@Vamanaswastika]

It will reach $1 million quite quickly

[@dianethomas01]

Very cool and I love that y’all got to take it out for a night. Personally, one of the reasons I love your content is because you use products that are more “every man” items and a $450k rig isn’t that. But if that’s what you want to do, I say go for it!

[@smartin050]

Glad to see you guys in our neck of the woods! Glade Top is a nice beginner trail. How did you like boondocking there?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

It was awesome!!

[@katherinefrost5808]

Get one!!!

[@mikeyc7072]

Yeah, but…🤔…is it Zombie Proof🧟🧟‍♂️?!

[@michaelptm2269]

Haha this channel is awesome!! So cool

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thanks!!

[@ronaldcobbley9668]

Nice house on house on hose on wheels

[@karlanderson1791]

I can't help but wonder how many people who can afford something like that are into off roading and camping.

[@TCDShow]

@@karlanderson1791 I’m one of them… it’s my home / business.. and my favorite thing to do is camp at BLM land for weeks without worries that about power.

[@jaredcox1195]

Hey Matt, this may be too complicated of a question, but do you think a stock Subaru outback could make it pretty easily from Lake City to Ouray via the alpine loop? I know you've driven that a few times from your videos. Blue Mesa Bridge is out near Gunnison and we have a trip later this year where we were going to go from lake city up to black canyon national parks and then down to Ouray. But with the bridge out we are looking for alternate routes if needed and think that would be fun if doable. Thanks for any help and if you know the best way to navigate that crossing if you think it's doable I'd greatly appreciate the advice. Thanks

[@VanWo]

Feel like we need an update on the red jeep, it’s looking good!

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Coming soon.

[@jasonkelly9373]

What kind of frame does the Storyteller expedition vehicle have on it is it a 36,000 PSI steel c-channel frame or a 60,000 PSI steel box frame

[@terrymcguire6478]

That's pretty cool if you're pulling a 2 door Rubicon as well. Definitely great for living on the road. I hope that's a diesel. What was the gas mileage like? 10mpg?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

It’s diesel. We got around 12mpg

[@GATORADDAM]

Come'on. Take it over Black Bear Pass! Haha.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I’d take it over Imogene if it will fit through the tunnel. 😂

[@GATORADDAM]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures I'll be out that way again in July. I'll measure it for you.

[@Eveloffroad]

Obviously not the same. But now you know how I feel when I go from my Ram 2500 to Jeep in terms of size lol.

[@Mariposaland]

I showed this to my 4 year old grandson and he said “let’s buy one”. 😂

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

He has great taste. 😂

[@anthonyarmijo]

Nice video.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Thanks!

[@vapor3074]

Less than half the price of an earthroamer. Still about 3 times my budget!

[@Coloradohighcountrywheelin]

Buy it Matt, you can afford it🤑.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

😂😂😂

[@Bombiedude.]

Id be honest if I was gonna buy one of those Id treat the loan almost like a mortgage for a house because this thing has basically all you would need for it to be livable like a big house and housing nowadays is about as expensive as this like my parents are paying a good pretty penny per month for their current house and they plan to wait until they retire before selling it

[@dtadventure4x4]

Well, this is a tough one. Let's leave the price outside for now. The rig is very capable to go places, but also too big to go to other places. I think it is great from a tiny home on wheels perspective. If this would work with my budget and plans, I would definitely consider it. I come from a Ford F250 platform and a Supertramp camper. I sold it and now have a Rossmonster Baja on order. The GXV looks like it is a great build, but the price and overall height is what drew me into the Rossmonster Baja world. The GXV looks great, but how many of those are ever going to be built? The RAM platform is also a turnoff for me. I will never ever buy a Chrysler or Stellantis vehicle again. These things start falling apart the moment the warranty is up. The market for these rigs is getting crowded quickly. Not sure if Storyteller Overland will be able to keep up with the customer demands ...

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

The Rossmonster Baja is a very nice option on a smaller platform.

[@josephinebustos8074]

If I have that type of money for an overlanding rig, I would choose an earth roamer.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

Well an Earth Roamer is twice as much so….

[@josephinebustos8074]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures lol it sure does cost more, hence “if I have that type of money”. If a person can afford the $450K rig, affording an earth roamer isn’t a stretch.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

@@josephinebustos8074 that’s like saying someone that can afford a $450,000 house should be able to afford a $900,000 house. Thats not how it works. 😂

[@josephinebustos8074]

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures realistically, the only person I know indirectly that bought an Earth Roamer would have no problem buying a $450K rig. These are people with income bracket beyond many. Yeah, I get it it’s double the price of this cool rig. Earth Roamer is more luxurious. The last video I watched the price of an ER was a million dollars.

[@lukaszszostak2696]

I don’t really understand the intended purpose of this rig. Where would you take this thing? It would get high-centered on half of the campsite trails I take my Gladiator on. Feels like an extreme example of the overland tax.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

I stated the purpose of it very clearly in the video. 🤦🏼‍♂️ It’s for people traveling far more than most for months at a time or longer. Of course it won’t get everywhere a Gladiator will but did you not see the ground clearance on it? It will get a lot more places an RV or Sprinter van will. I feel like you didn’t watch the video and just came here to make a dumb comment. 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

[@anthonymissirlis3710]

these things are amazing , could tow one of your Gladiators . idk about that $450 k price tag though ! i know it takes time and effort and material etc etc etc but $450k?! . i guess your trip with EFRT had an impact on y'all . looking forward to your future adventures . Ford F450 chassis with a godzilla 7.3 V8 regular fuel engine , liquid springs etc etc ( the rest kinda like EFRT has ) . my opinion, but i have no idea what your plans are, if expedition or still tight trails -rock crawling like y'all been doing ( i just don't like diesel with the DPF-def stuff )

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

lol to be clear… this isn’t ours. 😂

Comparison to EFRT Rossmonster?

TBD but the Rossmonster is smaller based on the 3500 chassis instead of the 5500.

Sorry, but couldn’t finish this one. If I want to watch exorbitantly priced/built vehicles driven by pompous people I’d watch Expedition Overland. 😉 Keep on keeping it real.

@@OzarkOverlandAdventures oh I know, and just to clarify I wasn’t calling you pompous. I love your videos! Some of may favorites are the ones you’ve done on how you don’t have to go overboard on gear.

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

@@BruceF. fair enough. Lol

[@757Adventurer]

Why wouldn’t the jeeps lead the truck instead of y’all getting hammered by dust & rocks?

[@OzarkOverlandAdventures]

That would mean I'm filming in the dust and that's not fun.

[@jasonkelly9373]

It's maybe a nice rig but the only downfall about a Dodge truck is you can't see over the damn hood the other thing is in the driver's seat the pillar is in your way of your sight and the same thing with the passenger side I'd rather stick to the Ford or the Chevy so much better and if it's a diesel no way for high-cost machine that's going to cost a lot of money to you know high maintenance and everything to get fixed rather stick to gasoline the other thing is I can find gas stations with gasoline a lot easier than I can with diesel in some places sorry just being honest

At most 250k to build most likely 150k. No way 450k is a fair price. Sorry but it looks like no better than an average r.v. build.
