I know this thing will be stupidly overpriced but damn, the want is real…

It appears to me it's a design exercise and/or one-off build. All the online references are from 2022.
Edit: translating and exchange-rate-converting the Euro price in the images of the 2022? article, it's ~$20k-$40k (but I still don't see any evidence it was actually commercially available).

Cool concept. Would be even better on a gladiator with the extra bed room to work with

Someone needs to come up with a Gladiator SUV conversion kit with something like this.

It should fit. Sportsmobiles, Raptors, Expeditions, and other full-size trucks have made it through, (barely).

It does feel VERY tight. I've been through there many times in JLs, JKs, a WK, and both of my WK2s without damage. Watched a pair of the older Ford van based Sportsmobiles get through with only mirror scuffs. ~10-15 years ago Sportsmobile did a photo shoot there even. Videos online of guys (always guys) doing it in Raptors, an Excursion, and even a newer Power Wagon. Not that I would do it, but it is possible. Everyone's risk tolerance is different I guess.Making it without scraping? I just did it. Very tight.
Near the end of this blog are photos & details of his Sportsmobile getting through.

Dave Harriton of AEV built the best, most drool-worthy Wrangler camper in the Outpost II, at least to me. Lots of engineering and fabrication expertise rolled into that beast from the axles up.
