Permanently Mounting my Pop Up Truck Camper to my Jeep Gladiator

- I am excited to be so confident in the mounts for my Jeep Gladiator Truck camper, that are the same 6 locations for the stock bed mounts! This was overall a very fun experience, and the next episode will be all about the first drive and attending the MOORE expo in Springfield, Missouri. What do you think?

The Dodge Mahal was a Legend. I hope in the future you continue to build more rigs and maybe even something bigger than the Dodge Mahal. Enjoy the new Camper!
Lookin good mane, I bet you were sooooo stoked to see that thing drop onto the flatbed.
Love it when on-line people provide solutions!
For those who say this is small, consider how spacious this is compared to a roof top tent.
Lovin this thing. Can’t wait to see how it wheels and compares to the Dodge and the Gladiator with roof top tent.
Yeah that’s what I’m talking about, that’s super slick dude, love the design. Happy camping
Galvanic corrosion can be a bugger, glad you insulated it properly.
Congratulations on a successful and practical installation. Wishing you safe and happy travels.
Such a cool build. I got to see it at the MOORE expo and it looked amazing. Too bad I didn't get to meet you in person, but I'm sure you'll enjoy the camper! Keep up the great content!

Between the steel frame of our 1996 Ford CF8000 and our aluminum box living-quarters, we used standard lumber-yard 1x4 treated... regular wood engineered for ground-contact.
Nothing fancy.
That was 2003... nearly two decades full-time live-aboard, we see zero degradation.
.
The trucking industry standard for mounting aluminum equipment to a steel heavy-truck frame is steel U-bolts.
Again, after nearly two decades, we see zero impact of those dissimilar metals.
.
However, on boats and aircraft, extreme caution is required to limit (not eliminate) galvanic corrosion.
Example:
1973, Thailand.
A Douglas A-26 wing fell off during a taxi.
Cause -- the fueling crew used a poor ground, static electricity ate the wing-spar.
In thirty minutes, the aircraft was reduced to scrap from galvanic corrosion.
.
An hour earlier, we did a four-hour flight in that aircraft.
Our pre-flight showed all parts of the aircraft were air-worthy.
.
Thirty minutes.
Kaput.
Can't wait till it finished .will make life alot more comfortable for you .look forward to the rest being built out .
Love this! Such a wicked build.
Very nice. I'm thankful to be in this journey with you.
im so proud of you brother i can see how happy your are and its cool to see so much of what we talked about actually happen
Great to see it coming together. Looks awesome!
Thanks for the report... good things take time and are better appreciated when complete. No need to rush, just like one should travel overland. 🚚
Ready to see some camping videos with it
Awesome video Phil!
It looks amazing 👏 great job have fun this summer be safe
Looks very good.
So sweet! Well done Phil!! Cheers 🇨🇦
Oh yeah yes sweet. Ok yall Are you Down to Mob.....THANKS for sharing
Way cooler 😁
Looks mega, nice one 👍🏼
Nice build 👌
Nice work on looking out for the galvanic corrosion. One often overlooked part of that prevention is the mounting bolts. Even if you use stainless the aluminum might corrode. Using some sort of sleeve through the aluminum should remove the potential issue. It's looking great!
What a awsome build I'm so jealous 👍
THAT WAS A KOOL WALKTHROUGH AND THE WATERTIGHT FITTINGS BETWEEN. I LIKE THE MUDFLAP MATERIAL SPACERS, , BUT ITS ALL A MATTER OF PREFERENCE THATS ALL. LOOKS PRIMO!!!!!!!! HAPPY EASTER TO YOO WILD BUNCH.
I'd far rather have the Dodge Mahal setup, 1 ton with a 5.9 cummins, that's a better overall rig. This Gladiator setup will be slightly better off road but any of these campers are too expensive and have too much time invested in them to be really wheeled so I'd stick with the big boy diesel platforms but that's just me. I have a 7.3 powerstroke econoline build going but I'll never wheel it just use 4x4 to reach my destination.
HAPPY EASTER
Would you have preferred a single cab ?
Hello. Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Glad to see you getting close to a final product. Are you going to be at Overland Expo West?
Will you be in Flagstaff in May ? Would love to see it in person.
Pretty coole exciting stuff, congratulations!.. Yes, I have a question. What engine does yoir Jeep have and what kind of MPG were you getting when it was stock?
I am in the process of converting a walk-in contractors cap on the back of a Chevy Silverado HD 2500. it is sooo awesome to see your rigs change as you go. Mine is all metal though and my truck is also an extended cab. Right now it weighs 8720 lbs so, i don’t think i’ll be as far off-road as you get. lol
With a similar steel canopy -- flip-out sides, interior shelves, lumber-rack, 50-gallon bed-tank -- our 1991.5 Dodge 2500 Cummins 4x4 was 7,850# across the scale.
That was with both tanks full plus two spare wheels/tires plus tools and spare parts.
Rigged for winters on isolated Baja beaches.
.
We towed the rear-half of a one-ton Ford pick-up with a service-body, chopped under the engine bay, then folded into a hitch.
.
Weighing 1,000# more than our old Dodge, your Chevrolet must be a stout truck.
My 400 hp V8 F-150 FX-4 RCSB with an AT Habitat fully loaded on 34's weighs 5970 lbs!
Is the inside completed?
Never ending is more than just a fantasy movie.
Looks great. But needs a filler between truck and camper
Awesome. Do you have a time table for your interior build?
Perfect.
It will be done after it is perfect.
We expect this from the Bison crew.
Why are you guys mounting the camper on a steel frame instead of an aluminum frame?
❤
Cute couple
Beautiful build go get a detail...
Go to this TH-cam channel... Girl In The Woods.... she just posted a great video. Showing perhaps one of if not thee best off grid house / cabin. It is well within the parameters you have expressed having out on your family property. Completely setup as off grid and self sustaining 100 %. Low tech and yet has everything you need. You can piece mill up [add on to as desired / necessary] . Or what ever you desire. The owner provides a very good walk through and explains everything... so you have a great understanding of the reasons. Just extremely well thought out and very efficient place to live... I immediately thought about your desire to build a place.
FREAK SHOW !
"Can't wait" is gonna turn into unsubbing real quick.
Why not skip to the complete finished stuff? This is painful to go thru the same delay stuff as you have experienced. Stop showing the never ending 'Wow it's so unfinished and cool.' Please don't drag us thru three months of this hollow money/time pit lil boxy bullstuff.

A couple minutes here, eight minutes there, helps me understand the process of creating a safe reliable rig.

Same with down2mob.
I enjoy the journey; the destination merely an afterthought.
Because its content for his channel 🤣
