Gladiator Pop-Up Pass Through Camper Build

One of my favorite things about the build is that it is open to the cab of the truck. It essentially doubles the size of the Camper.

I can enter the camper from the doors of the cab or the tailgate. On rainy/muddy days, I enter from the cab and leave my muddy shoes on the Jeep Floor mats. It makes a nice foyer.

Yeah that is one of the major downsides of my slide-in. I am a bit envious of your passthrough. If I ever build another it will be a flatbed with a passthrough.
 
As a kid growing up on a farm in this area, I couldn't wait to leave and see the world. Now after I've seen the world, all I can think about is going back to the country.

A crystal clear creek or river beats the hell out of a chlorine & urine soaked swimming pool!

Why is it so fun to drive across a shallow river? I love it.

From my imagination to a picture! A 3/4 ton Jeep/Overlanding vehicle. Pretty cool design tools you have on-line these days.

Playing around with AI. Scale is better, but too long and heavy for a Jeep. It's funny how AI scrambles words like JEEPL.

Left side is a bit out of proportion.

People under appreciate the Ozarks, Southern Missouri, Northern Arkansas, etc.....I grew-up spending summers and hunting seasons in those areas. So many magical areas to experience and feel at home in.
I now live in the Colorado Rockies and they have there own beauty and magic but, I still miss the Ozarks....

@BritKLR, are you still exploring the Rockies with the Kawasaki KLR?

I'm still looking for a light bike to mount on the back of the Gladiator, so I don't have to break camp to go exploring.

I like the thumper KLR, but too heavy for a camp bike. I was thinking about a Kawasaki 300 KLX on the large side or an electric Surron bike on the light side. My mountain bike is fun, but I'm getting old. Any thoughts?
