Nice! I like that it matches the angles of the (very upright) cab of the gladiator.... unlike most racks that tilt way too far in. Are you going to be able to move it to the tailgate end, too? Then you could use it with the roof rack over the cab and let the paddleboards and stuff sit...

That's a nice set-up. Having the stake pockets seems to make it easier. Most people with Gladiators seem to end up buying a tonneau with the t-slots and mounting racks to the top of that. There's some nice DIY options using extruded aluminum by different users on this forum. I did worry...

Nice work! I'm glad someone finally did this. This is my number one complaint on the gladiator, the bed is too shallow. I had sketched up something just like this with 3" x 3" but could never be sure it would work with my convoluted VooDoo/custom rack canoe rack. Maybe someday.... Is the...

kostik76, thanks for this video and the link. It took me about 15 minutes total to fix the only issue I've had with my 22 soft top.

Maybe someone else can answer that question but it's beyond me for sure. Still... it won't stop me from commenting. I will say that 2" x 2" extruded aluminum is pretty darn bomber! I used 1" x 3" (1030) and 1" x 2" (1020 for the two long cross beams) and I have no problem walking around my...

I also appreciate the ability to easily attach stuff to t-slot. I used it to make a cargo deck over the back third of my tonneau/bed. Works great, love it! As to the original question, I would think you'd be fine to drill a through hole through a center slot and bolt it to something. I may...

This is a timely thread for me after my difficulties this weekend. I'd like to do both the relay to turn off the license plate lights AND the oracle back-up lights. Does anyone know if the ebay relay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/276489176412) can be used with the oracle back-up lights...

I can confirm that the VooDoo VRS Rails and the Roll-n-Lock fit without modification to either one. You'll need some thicker weatherstripping on the back, and I put some of the weatherstripping that is two "bulbs" (i don't know how else to describe it) under the VRS and it is bone dry. i didn't...

I spent a fair bit of time looking for something like that. Yakima Overhaul is probably closest. I'm in the middle of having a custom one built out of aluminum c-channel that will mount to my VooDoo VRS Rails.

That's nice work, especially the toolbox! Looks great! I went a different way, but with the small beds in the gladiator, setting up that area above the bed near the cab is a good way to get some bulky stuff permanently out of the bed and not limit the ability to occasionally haul firewood...

Hey! That's been my backyard for my whole life! Weird to hear it as a overlanding destination. I have some recommendations. Here's a few. Reach out if you have other questions. Good views. Good fishing. Good gravel biking. Better mountain biking in adjacent Rothrock SF. Nothing too...

Thanks! Much appreciated!

You make a good point about that with these bolt-together racks. Hadn't thought about that part. And while I think my overall loading is relatively light and i'm only driving some rutted dirt roads I did manage to destroy the yakima rack and the roof of my old tacoma just carrying kayaks and...

Thanks for that photo. One of my main issues with just going with the VooDoo Kayak Rack is that it doesn't match the angles of the truck; it angles in much farther (it does seem to match most of the other trucks on the market that aren't as "upright" as the gladiator). At least I thought it...

Yeah.... just modifying the xtrusion overland is a good option. I'd still have fair bit of modification with the different width, but the fit and finish would certainly be better than something I designed myself...

I've been trying to find the perfect rack that matches the angles of the gladiator, is adjustable in height to allow 18' canoes to clear my soft top, fits with my tonnea and allows my cargo rack just above the tonneau. I've looked high and low and all commercial options have some significant...

The bed depth is my biggest complaint about the gladiator. I knew it was an issue as my old Tacoma had the same issue. I also tried to think my way through a way to raise the bed a few inches and put a tonneau on it, but ultimately decided it was more than I could reasonably do myself and the...

I have the roll n lock m series XT. It's been on for about a year and works just like you'd expect. No issues. Didn't have trail rails, I used the ones from the tonneau. Very dry with just a little bit of extra sealant. I sometimes wonder if I should have went with Diamondback, just so I...

Hey! Thanks for posting! This might be an option for me. Can they be placed anywhere along the length of the rain gutters? I saw the two crossbars are two different lengths which suggests that there is a limited range of placements.

Here's a pic of the custom rack I built using the VRS rails and tnutz extruded aluminum mentioned above. The little brackets are built to secure my LIfetime cooler and ActionPacker.
