The plastic side rails from the bed stay on. There is a rubber gasket and I have not had any leak issues thus far! You cannot see the gasket from inside or out.
I agree! I believe it’s a whole lots of CYA, in case something were to happen. Lots of Taco owners with same style cabs doing just this on YouTube. I think it’s more geared for the Moab crowd, the true “rock crawlers” out there.
Just got back from a Florida trip. The cap was awesome with plenty of room. The side opening windows were very convenient. The Gladiator pulled the Carolina Skiff no problems! Great fishing week...

1. A.R.E. does not have a published weight rating or warranty any weight rating except on the HD Series (550lbs). NON-HD units we do not recommend...
Jay, I’m not sure. I know the CX Classic can be built in the HD version. My advice is go to the A.R.E. website, do a build or call an authorized dealer. Attached is what I pulled up possibly around you.
I love the look of your Gladiator! The white and black is sharp; It reminded me of my 07 Tahoe. Like yourself, it’s all about what we like on our Jeep’s! The amount of $$ we can spend on our rides is unlimited... Prior to this purchase I ran a steel rack over my tonneau cover. In my opinion...
Thanks! The light bar is Quadratec’s J5 with Amber Halo Rings with the fish bone off-road windshield light bar bracket. I love this light bar! I have not noticed any wind noise. Yes Baja Designs mount straight to OEM bumper. There are a few guys on here with them and several YouTube guys...
The dealer told me 200lbs. When I asked about loading my three kayaks. He said that would not be a problem. I believe if you wanted to do a RTT it would be best to get the HD version. I reached out to ARE for the exact ratings. I will let you know when they get back to me. Thanks
If your like me, you may have seen the white Gladiator with an ARE CX Classic topper advertised that looks awesome! Then you do a build and get the price and say: Yeah, that’s nice but way too expensive!” Well I finally pulled the trigger and ordered one anyway.
I ordered the CX Classic that...

That’s a great price on the cx classic. Why do you want to sell it for? I actually am waiting for mine to arrive. I originally went with a bed rack that went over the tonneau cover, I installed Baja Design lights and used it to haul my Kayak. But love the look of the topper and believe in the...
I bought my billet silver Launch Edition used with just over 5000 miles on it for 50k (that was dealer cost including auction fees and transportation). Added 10-15k in goodies to my taste consisting of lights, warn 10S winch, Fox lift, 37 inch tires, RockHard sliders, bed rack, Taser...
Gladiator build thus far! And hopefully done for a while! Filled up remaining aux switches with Baja Designs LP9s up front, Baja Designs S2 pods rear and sides on the bed rack. Added RockHard sliders yesterday.
