A couple pictures as promised. I did not bother reversing the front brackets because the cover rolls almost all the way up to the cab (see pics below) and it seemed like a lot of work for very little reward.
A couple measurements that I thought some might find useful:

My retirement plan is to own my own property big enough for this type of private playground. Maybe technically itās still a ādreamā vs. a āplanā, but I really appreciate the pics you post that keep my dream alive! ?
I totally agree Darel. You would have to be dedicated to your task and map the straightest path to each, run each BOH trail reasonably cleanly and quickly (kind of just rush through them) and you would be at the mercy of a lot of potential things that could get in your way. I think there are...
If you were on a mission to just hit those trails, you could do it in a day. The two parks are about 30 miles apart from each other, so only about half an hour to drive. You still have to calculate in the time to register, pay, and navigate miles of other trails in each park to get to the BOH...
I checked out that Jeep in a crate and thought it was cool, but maybe not for me. If they sold these Willyās wagon bodies in a crate like that I might try to figure out bolting one onto the Gladiator frame and running gear though. ?
Iām not crazy about the little cover on each foot with the nuts captured in it because I can see it trapping water.
Iām thinking I will just leave that cover off and use the open bracket, using nylock nuts to secure the leg. Despite going to multiple stores last night, I was unsuccessful...
If the feet on all three sets of legs are reversed the cover rolls all the way open up to the cab without touching the legs or the bottom of the rack, which is ideal.
Last weekend I bought a Frontrunner Slimline rack from a forum member and after using it for a week I thought I would share some lessons learned.
First, here is a link to pretty much the same thing if you are buying it new:
JEEP GLADIATOR (2019-CURRENT) FOLD-TOP SLIMLINE II BED RACK KIT
If you...
That looks just like it. Jamie assembled the one I bought by buying the tall version of the legs and the tray separately because they didnāt have a Gladiator kit. I looked at the specs at the link and the overall height is the same.
No problem! I have another long work day today but Iāll make you the list tomorrow. I can roll it past the middle rack supports but the cover is too thick to completely roll out of the way. I have an idea for a fix though so Iāll include that and a pic if it works.
Added a Frontrunner rack after a purchase from forum member @njjeepthing . This came with a number of additional components that I didnāt install just yet. Jamie has some other items posted in the marketplace so Iāll mention here that he is a good guy to deal with and was helpful getting me...
I probably speak for many with this request - can we see some additional full on side and back pics? This is a really interesting approach and I would like to see more!
Iām gonna go a little farther out on that limb and suggest a āYour Momā thread all its own. Just be careful though, there are a lot of funny people here who may drop like flies at the hands of the Ban Hammer. I can see where Your Mom jokes might quickly get out of control.
