1. Checkout the Rugged Ridge Armis HArd Rolling Bed Cover which appears to be the same thing. Been real pleased with mine.

That is funny. That is my second choice. The BAK is a little more flush on the sides but could live with both. I might have to go that route if I don't see the BAK soon.

Wonder how this thing would handle a snow blade........

Probably fine if you weigh down the bed to counter the weight and torque on the front

Rugged Ridge is now owned by Truck Hero. The only difference is the fabric material. The Rugged Ridge version uses a cloth that matches the Jeep soft top look. Its more Jeep like. I have one and enjoy it as well.

AMEN - I'm pulling my trailer to Omaha next week, controller or not. Won't be a big load, some signs, likely under 2,000 pounds tops, trailer and all, but can't wait any longer to use the trailer.

They make "light truck blades" and even receiver mounted blades..... and since I have a front receiver. I'm only talking in front of my shop, and the 130 feet or so of our driveway.
But not with these tires - I got STUCK in the turn-around of our driveway this week! I backed into the turn around area, tried to pull back out and up the driveway - oops, truck isn't moving. Yeah, I'm in D - hey, speedo shows I'm moving - but I'm not. Had to put it in 4H and then I could feel it squirm to get back to the main part of the driveway. Snow? Oh, about an inch. It was the ice under it.

My Trailer is only 3000+/- so not really worried....but it would be nice to have on a long haul.

Dang that is nice! Perfect match for a JT - looks cool, too.

With my wife and daughter I foresee needing something a little bigger, but certainly cool!

An aftermarket key fob that's 1/2 the size of OEM.

2.5 pounds instead of 5? Something you don't need a backpack to haul around?

Lol, so true, and still allows me to use the key now that would be huge on my wishlist!

In all seriousness though, two products I really want that may sadly never be released....

Core doors from Bestop for the JL/JT. Even though they are pricey those things are awesome and are exactly what I need here in the Carolina's for about 8 months a year. Sadly there are no 2020 plans, but they did hint at a kickstarter I am really hoping on.

Quadratec mirror movers, as of a few months ago still no plans to make them for the JL/JT. They fix my biggest gripe with FCA and their design. The fact that they make a truck with removable doors with the mirrors attached just baffles me. Price for the JK isn't cheap, but compared to other quality options like Carolina Metal Masters they really are not much more.

3rd I am not sure about anymore as the mirrors have slightly grown on me, but I initially wanted something more like a truck for the mirrors that would be better for towing.

After buying the Gladiator, I don't have any cash for anything. I do wonder how people can buy so many accessories so quickly after a new car purchase. However, I only pay cash.

I also only pay cash--for the vehicle and the upgrades. However, I owned a Jeep before, so knew that purchase price of a new one would be significantly higher than the cost of the vehicle alone. So, included that in my savings over the years.

Honestly, I do worry about folks who buy a new Jeep, then get so excited about upgrades that they run up huge credit card debt. I use that word "worry" because this is not good for the economy. This is foolish not only for the individuals, but for our country.

I have some friends who use a Moby. Great trailer. Probably the only negative* is the time it took them to get theirs. I'm thinking approaching a year.

*They are also expensive. But, if someone can't afford it, they shouldn't complain about the price. Lowering the price means reducing something in the product to less than what other folks would buy. They should instead complain about their situation that has them wanting something they can't afford.
