Afghanistan is a monsoon country. Eight and a half months out of the year it will be so dry your skin cracks and the rest of the year it snows every day. They do not salt there but the roads are extremely rough and hard on vehicles. The most common 'SUV' I saw there was a corolla wagon lifed...
Rugged Ridge and Maximus 3 both make chase racks (not bed racks) purpose built for the Gladiator. makes it really practical to mount any lights you want, and I think they look sharp as hell but I'm bias.
They're a lot easier to install on the plastic bumper.
And if you were worried about visibility, why'd you go with the red ones?
Did you consider the Maximus-3 Tie Rod as well?

Finally installed the Maximus-3 tow loops that have been sitting on my bench for months. I plan on towing it behind our RV a couple times next month.
It should be a fairly easy job, but it's not with pretty poor instructions and poor black & white pictures. This isn't a true "How To" thread...
yeah, I've looked at that. the irony is I already have their sports bar.
my original idea was to mount a small basket or rack to the rear of the sports bar (the elevated area) but I don't think its rated to support much weight.
so, next best thing is to use the cargo management rails.
I did...
Did you see the video on that where they showed what it took to tear into one of those? TOTAL nightmare for any tech. I bet there's a few who retire or change jobs rather than work on one of the Ford electric trucks. Nasty stuff, easier to put the kernels of corn back on the cob than work on one...

How much power can a bicycle generator produce?
A typical bike generator can produce 100 watts.
If you pedal for an hour a day, 30 days a month, that's (30 x 100=) 3000 watt-hours, or 3 kWh. That's less than 1% of what a typical family uses in a month (920 kWH). You generated...
Yes, that’s the one. And on YouTube, this gives you a good idea what is involved.
It’s a little nerve racking removing trim panels, but go slow it’s not too bad. I also had to google removing the dome light and removing the soundbar.
Been a ton of upgrades since my last post. Recently returned from a 7k overlanding trip hitting Badge of Honor trails from Virginia to Utah (MOAB). Here is the quick and dirty of what i added and how they are working out for me:
Maximus 3 bed rack - Love the look, handles RTT weight without any...
...Rig Co to get an install date scheduled. It’s somewhere between NJ and CA. Anticipation is high.
So I relocated my XM antenna using the Maximus-3 Bracket. I found one video on YouTube for this and it was helpful. Took three hours start to finish, and required removing the interior roll bar...
