Maximus-3 trifecta of rack solutions for the Jeep Gladiator

[jurfie]

Here are a few more photos. Be aware these are pictures of our concept rack from SEMA. The production version features numerous improvements to overall design and functionality. We will be showing off the production version ASAP.

Every time I see that rack, it reinforces my desire for it. It's looking like my JT purchase is going to be delayed for a while (selling/buying a new place so that's all gotta shake out), so the wait doesn't affect me. I would wait if I had to, though!

The factory tonneau is a NO-GO at this time, but we will have several aftermarket tonneau options. Facts of the matter:
* The factory tonneau occupies the mounting space for our bed rack.
* When two parts compete for the same space, one must go or be modified.
* Our Bed Rack mounting method is beautiful and capable of supporting heavy loads - we aren't changing it.

I can say two things about any rack that works with the factory tonneau.
1. The mounting system will look funky
2. They will only be able to support a fraction of the weight compared to ours.

I like what you're doing and understand your need to focus on the existing rack design.

In the future you should be able to design and produce a bed cover using the full-length side mounting hardware used in your rack. A segmented panel system like a Bakflip or a rollup cover or even a soft roll up cover would be a fantastic addition to your rack design.

I strongly second that. I’ve been looking for same thing. A rack like this that can also be closed off with fabric all around and I guess solid top. Accessories to carry kayaks, bikes, etc.

Ok, so hear me out....
I love the rack and the curved corners. How about creating channels on the sides and rear to slide in fabric panels and a modular full solid roof!!! so you can put cross bars on top, zip or slide in/out panels to enclose for a rainy camping weekend or leave open according to need.

I have been looking for a combo of soft topper and rack and they all look mad max, or don't operate unless completely dismantled, etc.. I just wanna take my dogs now and then and I can't be alone in that!!

Can I get a second on that? Anyone?

I dont want to play fanboy here, but Maximus-3 did say they are already working on some ideas for a cover on the rack. Judging by how refined the prototype looks, I can only imagine how far the finished product will be advanced over it.

i just experienced my first modern ice fishing shanty, made with 300 Denier fabric. If Maximus-3 makes the cover out of something that tough or tougher, they'll have something sweet. Of course in black or army green, not red.

Just buy one of these racks and put it on a PLYWOOD frame so you can play with it until you can buy a JT.

This rack looks amazing! Will it work with the OEM roll up bed cover? Estimated/Updated timing?

Just saw your response to the OEM bed cover... Timing?

I’m tempted. It has given me some DIY-deas (sadly, not plywood), but I’m eager to see what Maximus-3 comes up with first.

Thanks @Gecko-JKU, we are working on several cover options to give the people what they want. Also the production model is even better than the prototype. We will be releasing new photos ASAP.

Current estimate = 5 weeks
