A- According to the webpage HERE "The stock Gladiator frame is trimmed approximately 14-5/8” and the total savings in length is approx 18 inches versus the factory bumper and factory bed."

I stumbled across this on Instagram. Motobilt is now making a complete bobbed bed (46" long) for the Gladiator.

Here is Jeep's take on bed chopping for the 2022 Easter Week Gladiator 'Jeep Bob Concept'
Meet Bob. It takes a Gladiator Rubicon and slices off 12 inches from the bed in a style that's known as bobbing. Jeep also gets rid of the doors and B-pillars for a very airy cabin. A custom hardtop...
Ahh, the 1980s, I remember them well. I think the 'tubular' bumpers were the rage back then. I at least had a Smittybilt double with a hoop on my Blazer at the time. Like on this Toyota
Plenty of options for a tubular bumper for JKs so a little modding (they are cheap), and a winch plate...
I like it also, it sure looks good. If you need non-LED factory fog lights, I'll donate mine to your project. I also have some adapters that came with my aftermarket bumper, that might make it possible to mount your LED fog lights.

The word is @Mules had a bunch of extra fiberglass and resin, and wanted to use it up. ? ?
Although I think his muffler placement is going to kill his departure angle ;)
You are spot on there.
2022 Can-am Maverick X3 Max X RS Turbo RR w/SS (dang, that is a mouthful) = MSPR $34,099
2022 Jeep Gladiator Sport = MSRP $36,380
Apples and oranges to me. I can be much 'crazier' with my SxS (RZR RS1), as fewer worries about body damage, it is not my ride home, less to break/damage, etc. I was just out in the desert with my friend that has a 4 seat Can-Am Max so in effect the same size as Gladiator (135" WB for the...
This guy at the King of the Hammers did the same thing on his Mojave. He did an awesome job and I did not realize the bottom 4" was missing until he pointed it out. There is a natural line there that makes that perfect. With the custom bumper he built, he probably gained a total of 8 inches over...
Awesome, THANKS,
I certainly think that with the color and very low mounting this will be the hot tip for dust along with fog and snow. It is great you bring out such innovating products. :like:
I'm guessing it is too late to get in on the prebuy discount ?
After spending a week plus at the King of the Hammers and seeing how well yellow cuts through crazy amounts of dust I no longer have an excuse not to order one. I'll like to order 1 or 2 'spare' LEDs in case of damage (I've found if I have the part sitting on the shelf, that part never fails...
Of course. That is because I was using a LIPA PRO-F Hammertown filter to get the true been there, done that race effect.
Although now there is a major delay in getting those shipped from Germany with covid, and the price has gone up I am told. But being the good guy I am, I have a camera...
Ya, I knew the mission was dangerous when I took it. :whew:
It does crack me up that all the 'chatter' is about my cra**y photos, and nothing about the awesome Gladiators, mods, and accessories. I came home thinking 'how I can even make it down a paved street without'
(a benefit of the lens...
