Heater chimney that close to a fuel tank on the outside is kind of terrifying but nice rig overall

[@freedompanda9438]

Liked that window setup, and the fact they’re marine grade.

[@JuniperOverland]

It's a great addition, and we like that some of them open to the inside!

[@wolfmanking100]

would like to see a video with the beds sometime thanks

[@JuniperOverland]

You got it! Next video will cover the sleeping area more

[@agmartin2127]

Sorry for the basic question but where do you sleep? I didn’t see any sort of a pulldown bed, etc..

[@MH_6160]

I have the same question….

[@JuniperOverland]

That's one of the great things about the Alu-Cab, the bed platform pushes up and away so far that it creates a huge standing area in the camper. There is a pull down bed platform with an extra smaller pull down that you can keep up to crawl into bed, then put it down (if you're over 6'4", otherwise that's not needed.

[@OffRoadOverlandCamping]

This is awesome. How miuch does something like this on cost?

[@campfiresolutions]

Was the payload capacity changed? Better/Worse? I have a 2017 PW and when I'm fully loaded and have a RTT it can seem like a death trap at highway speeds. I have been looking for a better setup for suspension. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@brianroosevelt2976]

Great question for Josh. I am considering PW overland build. The bed capacity is an issue with only about ~1500lbs legally supported. I feel like a nice setup like this one really pushes you to a Ram 3500 to stay in gov/insurance compliance. I did pause the video at the rear view under belly scene, there looks to be quite a bit of modifications to the rear suspension. I am also guess with Carli arms up front, no aticulink maybe too. All of which probably eliminates the stock PW suspension, hence, no death ride for handling especially on windy days. We live in a litigious world now, the PW comes with a warning in the glove box about slide ins… lawyers might have a field day with billing you on arguing about the alucab. Shout out to Juniper,beautiful build. Would love to get insight please on overcoming the PW shortcomings. Ty!

[@stevehinkley9099]

Looks great. Any reason to not use the CJC Offroad fog light kit?

[@JuniperOverland]

No reason! Just used the Baja Designs kit instead.

[@Checo1]

I really hope that one day they show the sleeping area in a video, I don't understand why they never do it... what would be the logic of not showing this?

[@JuniperOverland]

The Alu-Cab camper and its sleeping area are pretty thoroughly covered on TH-cam and since we didn't do anything special in the bed area, we chose to skip over it. But the next video will have a very in-depth tour of the sleeping area, just for you!

[@Netseriym]

Very nice build! What year is this Power Wagon?

[@JuniperOverland]

Brand new 2024

[@christianrhodes7014]

I would love to have this setup on my Power Wagon, how can I get a quote?

[@JuniperOverland]

Shoot us an email at [e-mail] and we can help you with that quote!

[@MeteoricBeef]

How much does that weigh? I'd be concerned about the payload being taken up since the power wagons have such terrible capacities.

[@JuniperOverland]

It wasn't weighed after install but we'd estimate the camper portion to be around ~700-800 lbs

[@shakubob]

J. O. Salesman really did a number on Mr. Deep Pockets.

[@JuniperOverland]

We built what the customer asked for and feel very blessed that they chose us for the job 👍

[@freedompanda9438]

Some can play, some can’t. Don’t hate!

[@derekheuring2984]

Don't hate on people with money, they might benefit you one day. I just bought a lightly used 2022 Power Wagon with only 16,000 miles and $30,000 (I have the receipts) in accessories for $58,000. It seems the gentleman wanted a diesel after all so after spending $104,000 on his truck he traded it in on a Rebel after two years. I was lucky to be the first at the dealership as there was a stampede right behind me to get it. I thank God for rich people if I can get deals like this.
