- This is the first video in a series of videos where we looked back objectively and retrospectively at the building of Gizmo our Overland Expedition Vehicle. We take a look at Gizmo's current configuration as a reference point for future videos in this series.
In future videos, we're looking back objectively and retrospectively starting at the beginning of Gizmo's build stages to see our journey over the last 5 years. Our goal is to share our experiences, choices, decisions, and rational in order to educate, motivate and empower new overlanders or others looking for ideas with there own vehicles.

One of the best off road organisation videos 👍
Well built expedition. excellent presentation. Drone doing 360% aerial view in the canyon's was stunning. Thanks and cheers mate.
I love how organized y’all are, fantastic videos. I love your rig!
You thought if everything! I am sure it’s from years of trial and error to hone in on what now have. Thanks for doing the homework for me. Keep it up.
Excellent setup. Great use of all your available space.
Elephant Hill trail is awesome. We stayed at Devil’s Kitchen campsite #4 last April. I loved that trail.
Hello mark!
Thanks for putting these videos together. I like your build as your setup is very similar to mine. I’ve got a 2015 JKUR HR on a 3.5 metal cloak lift. Have a warn zeon 12s mounted in the bumper. Went with the 12 because I ended up buying an “into the wild” Boreas XT trailer.
It really looks like you have had the time to refine your load out! I admire your organization skills. It’s extremely easy for things to get messy if you are not organized like yourself.
If you ever end up in the NW (Washington state) let me know!
Safe travels! 👍
Thank you, we really appreciate the feedback. I was going to to go to the Northwest Overland Rally this year but my best friend decided to get married. Maybe next year?
What a complete Jeep, everything looks awesome.
Thank you, we are pretty happy how its come together.
Do you have a link to the lights you attach to your ARB awning?
We have 3x Streamlight Siege 44931 (3xD awning & tent outside) and 1x Streamlight Siege 44941 (3-AA in the tent). We have had them since May 2014 bomb proof!
They have come out with a new model which has caught my eye the Streamlight Super Siege 44947 rechargeable. ? Twice the price?
Amazon has them.
Nice set up, beautiful build, love the way you store everything in the Jeep. Greetings from The Netherlands. 🇳🇱❤️✌️
Thanks you for the feedback. The jeep is a small platform and a challenge to outfit... Cheers
What a great setup.
Fantastic detail..you deserve more subs.
Very nice build.
Thank you for the feedback... Mark
Very nice setup!
Outstanding video! Glad I found your channel. Liked and subscribed!
Sick set up :-)
Thank you!!!
great video Mark! love your rig!
Very helpful video ! The most informative overland video I've seen. Love the way you listed out all the mods you've done to your rig. Thank you so much for sharing! Just a question. Why do you choose to overland or wheeling by yourself ? Must be very comfortable doing so and/or choosing your routes very carefully without much difficult terrain I hope.
That was a really great overview of your camping system Mark. I really love how modular the whole thing is with those Pelican cases. You really seem to have thought through every aspect of it - thank you for sharing! My favorite learnings were the value of the rock lights - where is the switch for those? Do you ever wish you had installed the red instead of the white ones? Finally, do you have any idea of how much the jeep weighs loaded up? You look like you may be pushing the payload.
Excellent video .... !!!
Good video, Thanks for sharing ✌
Great set up...👍👍👍
Super présentation du matériel
Just found your channel. Nice design. I think you may have the Ipad in front of the passenger airbag, future claymore.
We do know that that's why we never use the iPad on the pavement. We use the Jeeps NAV on the pavement... Mark
Beautiful set up. I don't want to know the price tag for all of that stuff. Wow
Whoa, that’s a lot of stuff to set up. Very nice set up nonetheless, and very complete and comfortable I would imagine, but too much set up for my taste... and more important than set up to me, is take down time should be quick in case I need to get out of a situation quick.
Interesting, that's alot of stuff, glamping meets overlanding..do you carry tools, spares recovery kit?..your weight must be pushing max eh?..more than I would carry but looks like a comfortable setup nonetheless..
Great video. I realized it is 4 yrs old, but what does your jeep weigh once outfitted like in the video.
Cool Rig!
(New Subscriber! :) )Awesome Setup. I seen you have a "Attic Storage" System but I did not see it in your Amazon list. Can you add that or tell me which you are running?
Rig packing with goods 👍
Hello fellow Canadian. Late to the party, just came across your videos. What brands are your aluminum tables? Really like the larger one that has top sections.
We got it at BassPro, I think its there brand, welcome aboard... Mark
Hi Mark- great videos on overlanding! I noticed you have an ARB compressor in you Amazon gear link. Where did you mount it?
Mantap...oke....
Just subscribed, great video.
how long can you live out of your jeep for?
Great video. We are just equipping our 2012 JKU Rubicon for Overland and ordered a number of items you recommended from your Amazon page. One of the things we were most excited about was the aluminum table (at around 13 min in the video) - but I can't find any reference to that. Can you share the brand / model?
REI used to sell one like that, but doesn’t look like they do anymore. Cabella’s sells one with a similar base, but the Cabella’s top is not split into two sides.
Front runner make a stainless steel table that slides in under their roof racks
Sharp rig.
Do you carry extra fuel for the Jeep"
Yes, 10 gal. the tank is part of the rear bumper system. It's behind the spare tire. You can see it at 8:86 min in this video.
wow.
seems like you have a lot of time on your hands packing and unpacking
Terrible driver lol love the video though man 👍
Sounds like fun now I have to get my. Wife to do what your wife does and like it !!! He he hereeeree
I will send you my JK for conversion. here in Germany there is no cool stuff 😏
In America, on the JK you can literally get everything and anything! That’s the platform that literally has everything possible for a Jeep.
I reckon coyote works has a better roof top tent yours seems a lot of mucking about to set up
Your like the Yoda of Jeeping. The man the myth the Holly cow dude. OCD much?
to much stuff waste your day setting up
Awesome setup! I too enjoy a very organized camp.
Just happened upon your video, love the detail of the build and setup, especially the build! We just took a 10,000 mile trip in our Jeep (just a factory, stock Jeep Sahara) throughout the west, southwest! We are much older than you folks and did not venture out on to many of the trails that many of the overlanders like yourself do, but enjoying watching folks like yourself venture into areas we are not set up to go. Look forward to up coming episodes. Great job, thank you!
Thank you, Jim I appreciate the feedback. I think that you will find our upcoming video's very interesting. I hope to have the next video in this series uploaded on Sunday morning. Mark
Great video. What model are your aluminum tables?
Woaw this is amazing.... On my future i would like to get a car like this one. In france we have no one with the same équipements, I definitly want it faster😅
et surtout la moitié de son équipement pourrait être illégale avec nos lois et régulations à gogo
How are you handling the extra weight? Any upgrades to the suspension? Airbags?
You should watch the whole series and there is one more video coming in the future that goes into the AEV 3 1/3 dual sport. There are several videos ahead of it in the Que a head of it.
In part one, you see Gizmo at full load in its current config. with 15 gals water, almost full gas tank, and 10 gals extra fuel in tire carrier tank. 1 Wife and 10 days for food!
The key is it's everything, it's all about the choices.
The 6 most important parts, In order, are 1) AEV 3 1/2" dual sport 2) Remove the rear seats 3) Don't use a drawer system 4) The rear platform as I have it built 5) Change Rubicon Rock sliders to Teraflex aluminum sliders 6) don't use 17" tires.
If all else fails put the wife on a Diet!
From the 8 min mark... stare at the jeep in the middle . And after the spin scene happens ,. Look at the wall, or something around your house . Optical illusion
This is awesome, thank you for making this video. I have been wanting to get into the Overland scene. This helps out!
Informative video. Thx. Did you weigh the rig as equipped?
perfect video
Great video, very organized, well done
Love yalls videos!
Thank You!👍🏻
Awesome Mark, thank's.
Awesome build Mark! How long it took you to receive your Gobi rack? Wish my garage had that much clearance.
Thanks, the rack took about 8 weeks but that was in 2014. I ordered it from Northridge 4x4 Canada. Yah the garage doors are 9'x9' and the ceiling is12', it is really nice to be able to open up the tent inside, I'm blessed to have that.
I appreciate the questions because it helps me decide how much detail to go into...Mark
@@markbouliane6289 Well my Gobi rack has been on order since December:( As far as details, it was nicely explained. Do you have a dual battery setup?
That is a long time! I remember being nervous at 6 weeks. Yes, 3 batteries 1 start and 2 aux. I have a playlist ua-cam.com/play/PLWb1VYyU70aV6eKySnuGYzMrPytqlHdzc.html that goes into our power systems. I am posting the third video in that series on Thursday.
super sir
Thanks so much!
Very good your equipment and your car, congratulations one day I will try to make a look like this at least half of it will be my dream
Where is that table from?
How much does that rooftop tent cost.
To much stuff for enjoy the nature.
