I decided I didnāt like the doors hanging on the wall, and the top sitting on my home built cart (plus I wanted to be able to easily remove the top by myself).
The door cart was built with 2 large Harbor Freight furniture dollies (30 bucks for the pair) and 4 2x4x8ās ($24.00)and CHEAP indoor...
Total install time was 2 hours. 30 minutes to assemble boards and steps.....1 hour for passenger side (solving the puzzle) and 20-30 minutes for drivers side. All in all. I like them, the wife likes them so its all good. I will be doing a blackout on the pinchweld area this weekend.
the 2 hours...
Last 2 trucks were a 2015 GMC Denali 1500 4wd and a 2018 GMC 1500 SLT Z71. I donāt miss them at all. Both were fabulous trucks, rode great, never a problem one. The Gladiator Overland will Haul all I want at one time...1000-1200 lbs several times already, parks easier, fits in the garage, and...
Off of my 2020 Overland with less than 900 miles. I went with something different today. $200.00 located in N Fort Myers, Cape Coral , Florida

Pretty spot the hell on! I like white trucks with tan interior.....pretty much one choice. My Overland hauls 1200 lbs of construction materials in the bed and the springs didnāt compress more than 1/2-3/4 of an inch. It rides great on 18ās with 285/75/18 Falkens and a Mopar lift...it will spend...
Donāt know yet. I should have them today or tomorrow. The current ones on my Overland are mounted to pinch weld and work perfectly fine, just donāt have the step downs.
Its high enough I a, putting these on this week for the wife....its a stretch even for my 6ā2 200 lb ass to climb into at almost 60 years old, and my shorter Friends really struggle....
Its not perfectly level, but close enough for me. 35ā(34.5 actual) Falkens and Mopar Lift totaled 5.5-6ā total lift from stock on the Overland with 31.5ās from the factory. Total height is 77 +inches now.
The Overland will do what probably 75 percent of what Jeep Gladiator owners want one to do. I did a 2ā mopar lift with the fox shocks and 285/75/18 Falkens and it srill rides great and will go any damn place I want to go in a Jeep...bo, its not a Crawler, and wasnt designed to be one, but its...
I can take the top off in 5 minutes by myself.....easy as can be. It will ne a week or so before I take it off again because of weather here, but I will post Pics and video when I do.
I use 4 of The top bolts and 4 8mm wing nuts through the (2) front bolt holes and 2 of the rear bolt holes. VERY secure. (Just like J-Barr does) the pic doesnt show the rear straps completely. The end are tucked in the pads.
