The HA is great on the highway. The street tires and options that come on it make it very comfortable to drive.
Coming from a JK and JL Rubicon, it didn't even feel like I was driving a Jeep. I swapped out the tires a week later and fixed that problem.
I have the Rebel Xplor with the Access Literider. I was planning to get some molle panels, but I don't see how they would mount around the rack and cover.
Here are what my rails look like:

Would you mind sharing your payload and towing numbers?
I have an High Altitude now and the only reason I am looking is I am already pushing the limit of my 970 lb payload. I was considering a Sport S Max Tow when I stumbled upon the Freedom Edition.
I came across a Freedom Edition Gladiator model on Jeep.com this morning. Has anyone looked at one of these models yet?
It has Max Tow as an option as well as rock rails, steel bumpers, etc. Here is a link to the window sticker for one on a lot near me...
I already had one trade offer from a local dealer for $4K over what I paid for my High Altitude. There just aren't any Gladiators configured the way I want within a few hundred miles and I am concerned on the lead times of a custom order with the shortages people have mentioned.
I am about to hit 6 months with my Gladiator. I do still love it.
With my JK and JL, I always felt something was missing, the JT filled that gap. Love having a truck bed again and use a lot more than I expected.
The only regret I have is that my High Altitude model only has a 900lb payload. If...
If you look at the photo I have added, you can see there is some plastic inside the rear passenger insert where the rear door jamb bolt threads into.
That piece of plastic was removed, but the insert itself was only partially or incorrectly threaded and would not accept the mounting bolts that...
I have a new Bestop Twill Sunrider for sale as-is or for parts only.
The rear mounting point on the passenger side was tapped incorrectly at the factory. Bestop sent me a new top and told me I could dispose of this one.
It is new, never mounted obviously, and would be good for someone looking...
I measure 29.5 inches from the bed to the bottom of the top bar.
I worked with Stephen @RebelOffRoad. He was able to answer every question I had about the rack and ultimately was the reason I decided to go with the XPLOR.
I went with a High Altitude.
I owned a JK and JL Rubicon. When I lived in Utah, I was off road almost every weekend and used my lockers, disconnects, etc. Currently I live in New Hampshire and had not used my lockers or disconnected the sway bar since moving here.
When I decided to get my JT, I...
No rubbing so far. I can turn the wheel to the limits with no issues and even drive up onto a curb while turning with no rubbing.
I don't know if they will rub while being off road or not. I went with this size and tire because I know I won't be doing any off road driving that will really flex...
You are right and that is what I was thinking as well. They were trying to sell me on a new wheels and a lift kit. I decided to just stay with the Nitto Terra Grapplers I had already ordered.
Decided to stay with the Terra Grapplers in 275/65R20s. I am very happy with how they look and drive. No lift or leveling kit installed.

I had a delay in getting the tires mounted and I didn't want to leave you hanging.
I purchased my tires through Walmart since they were the only place in my area that could get that size. When I arrived to pick them up and have them mounted I learned that Walmart will only mount the OEM tire...
