An overland build comes together when the truck, camper, and supporting systems serve the same purpose. This 2021 Jeep Gladiator Willys, nicknamed “Monkey,” brings those pieces together with an Alu-Cab ModCap camper, AEV high-capacity suspension, lithium power, solar charging, and propane heat. It is for sale by private party in Columbus, Georgia, with 68,359 miles.
Professionally customized by See-Mor Truck Tops & Customs, this Sting-Gray Gladiator pairs a two-person sleeping platform with integrated water storage, shaded outdoor living space, and an organized electrical system. Beneath the camper is a well-equipped Willys powered by a 3.6L Pentastar V6 and eight-speed automatic transmission, with Command-Trac four-wheel drive, 3.73 gearing, and a Trac-Lok limited-slip rear differential.
The seller describes the Jeep as being in excellent condition and plans to have it fully detailed before pickup. The supplied CARFAX reports two owners, 12 service history records, and no reported accidents or damage. An open manufacturer recall and a currently nonworking onboard compressor are disclosed below.
- Integrated Alu-Cab Camper: The bed-mounted Alu-Cab ModCap system combines a five-foot dual-cab base with windows and an integrated two-sleeper wedge tent. A Hest mattress setup adds sleeping comfort, while side and rear door screen kits provide ventilation. A camera relocation kit accommodates the camper installation. Outside, a 270-degree Alu-Cab Shadow Awning expands the sheltered campsite footprint, and a mounted Shower Cube provides a quick-deploy privacy enclosure. Folding tables and MOLLE storage accessories help keep the living area organized.
- Lithium Power & Solar: A 100Ah Battle Born lithium battery supplies the camper’s auxiliary power, with a REDARC RedVision Total Vehicle Management System providing control of onboard electrical equipment through a GP-Factor panel. Charging equipment includes a 180W REDARC monocrystalline solar panel and a six-gauge charge line from the engine battery to the rear electrical setup, protected by Blue Sea 60A circuit breakers. SB50 Anderson connections and power cord adapters round out the installation.
- Heat & Water Storage: A Dickinson P9000 propane fireplace heater, installed with a GP-Factor fit kit, adds warmth for cold-weather camping. Its propane supply uses a bracket-mounted 10 lb Flame King tank, quick-connect lines, and a two-stage regulator. An Alu-Cab 50-liter internal water tank incorporates brass ports, a breather, and a lockable tap. Together with the shower enclosure and sheltered outdoor space, these systems support a more comfortable camp setup across changing seasons.
- AEV Suspension & 35s: An AEV high-capacity lift kit was selected to accommodate the added camper and overland equipment. Suspension installation, setup, and alignment were professionally handled by Diehl Tire. The Jeep rides on 35x12.50R17 Falken Wildpeak A/T4W tires mounted on factory wheels. Its underlying Willys equipment includes a limited-slip rear differential, factory cab rock rails, and underbody skid plates.
- Recovery & Factory Comfort: An ARB stubby steel front bumper houses a WARN VR EVO 10-S winch with synthetic rope, complemented by a Factor 55 UltraHook and Sawtooth recovery kit. ARB auxiliary lights and a Rugged Ridge snorkel add further trail equipment. Inside, the factory specification includes heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, an 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen with navigation, Alpine premium audio, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. A black three-piece hardtop, remote start, automatic climate control, and factory safety equipment make the truck useful between camping trips, too.
This Gladiator offers more than a tent mounted over a pickup bed. The camper, water storage, heater, electrical controls, and recovery equipment form an integrated setup built around extended travel and comfortable camping.
The choice of an AEV high-capacity suspension system also addresses the weight added by the camper and supporting equipment. Combined with the Willys drivetrain and a substantial list of factory comfort options, the result is a truck suited to both the drive to camp and time spent there.
The ARB twin air compressor currently does not work. The supplied CARFAX also lists an open electric-hydraulic power-steering recall, with a remedy shown as available at the time of the report.
