https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...towing-my-airstream-with-the-gladiator.17072/

Yes, it tows quite well. I have a WD hitch and sway controller, which probably helps quite a bit. I don't have any trouble towing and have gone up and down Afton Mt. in VA, it was able to maintain 55-60mph which put me in the fast lane a few times there...I've towed it around 200 miles one way and plan to take it up to NY, which is ~450 miles.

I have more concerns with the 52 year old airstream than the Jeep.
Yea, I would too . . . make sure the axles, hubs, bearings, tires -- are all in great shape and attached to the "rust free/corrosion free" Frame . Safe Travels

Just a couple of small things today... Had the bed Rhino Lined 3 weeks ago so i figured i would add my first “GNOTS” mod. (Gladiator, not off the shelf) and yes you can use it. Its just a board to hold small cargo items from moving around. Don’t judge the cuts in the bottom ‘ cause I am not a carpenter, plus, its just a board. No plywood available, sorry. Also, the new bumper will be here on Wednesday so i readied the front awaiting its arrival. Still waiting on tires and wheels. Level kit sitting on work bench waiting on me. LOL.

you're the best. hope others catch on and do the same. for future posts. I like those grab handles and seat covers.
The seat covers went on pretty easy. They also have pockets in the back and a zip in/out coozie.

Added floor mats, bed cover, seat covers, hood blackout decal, clay bar and ceramic coat, and put some fluid film in the rockers and rear fenders. It’s been a busy weekend.

I'm looking for a bed cover. Would you provide a link or information on the cover you installed? thanks

That board is awesome and seems to fit almost perfect! Can you shed some light on how you went about cutting it out? Also, How do you like the Rhino Lining vs LineX?

I just sit the board in the slots, marked with pencil, then cut with jig saw, sand, paint, put back in Gladiator bed. Line x seems thicker than Rhino but i have used both previously and had no issues with either of them.
