Not a boring video at all. I've been following you for a hot minute and it's been so cool to watch you keep succeeding in new ways. New fam, new house, and now this? Ur killing it... It's weird that im so proud of a dude I never met, but I am. (Was so stoked to see you go camp with the dudes from expedition overland btw) When i built out my taco your videos were such a huge help, and i called uptop several times for my rack and other stuff. They were amazing! I didn't actually go with their racks due to the model of smart cap I had already installed. Glass windows on the smart cap would have cracked on the uptop rack handles. But the fact that they were super straight foward about that? Like, I was in a super vulnerable place a year ago, trying to build out my truck on a strict time budget, (basically an emotional support vehicle to get over some ptsd stuff)... and they could have sold me a problem. They didn't. They gave me solutions. I went with a Sherpa rack (another amazing CO company) but if i remember correctly, uptop helped direct me to them and recommended a few other places for power and armor and this that and the other. My point is, uptop is amazing and even though I didnt actually buy any of their gear, they were such a huge asset. I'm out on the trails today thanks to people like you and the people at uptop. Looking foward to the cool new toys you guys create together. Thanks for all the awesome videos and tell your new partners thanks for building a company that helps baby overlanders find their way.

Speaking of flat decks & beds - If you get into any rear bumpers, please please please work on a high clearance dual swingout for the 3rd gen Tacoma that retains the BSM. Apogee Offroad out of California has one (non-high clearance) out now, and a number of other manufacturers have tried to make one, but have ran into constant functionality issues with maintaining the BSM system. UpTop is great; I have a alpha roof rack & rear roof rack, mid-height truss bed rack. Drew was a massive help for all of my orders in 2021 / 2022,, but he doesn't work for UpTop any more.

I'm only at 13:17 but you just said you want to make it more profitable, slight red flag to be honest. Hopefully you mean by improving products/marketing and not cutting corners on the actual products. I've seen way too many good companies tank because owners want to "make larger profits" and not make a better product. Take a page out of MKC book, if you build awesome high quality AMERICAN products, you'll have the Patriots of the Greatest Country on Earth supporting you. Goodluck and congrats on the position!

I’ve been rocking a few different racks through the years to include Prinsu, Front Runner, etc. The guy kind of ‘managing my account’ at CBI was doing an absolute garbage job and dropped the ball on many occasions, and right around the time I was at wit’s end, my friends were revamping things at Uptop, where I knew I’d be in good hands (and also had the benefit of being local to me), so I made the switch. Having said that, no bad blood at all between CBI and myself, and I’m actually friends with one of the owners over there Nate, who I think is a great guy, and they make great products.

You mention several companies that have gone under, or a slow-down of sorts. I'd have to argue that there are a LOT of companies out there (happened in Vapor too) that want to suck people dry of their hard earned dollars, with fancy marketing slogans and empty promises. I have a tent on my truck right now, of a company that was at the top of it's game. Till the day I bought the tent... I've been hesitant to build completely because companies are so flaky on whether they'll be here tomorrow or not. Others love to solve non-existant problems. Take the money and run... I hope, with your investment, uptop can kind of break that mold. You can tell the people that buy their way through stuff. Not hard to see. We know you're not that type, how long have you had this channel? I've been watching what seems like 10 years haha. But, you are not that guy. You're not fly by night. You're not in it for (just) the money. That's huge. A lot of people trust you. Me included. I've been looking for a roof rack...
