Quite a bit delayed, but My Gladiator was delivered on Friday 12-9-22 (original estimated delivery was 12-26-22, updated to be 12-16-22). I was down and out with both the flue and Covid19, so I wasn't able to actually pick it up until 12-13-22. Then the holidays, then surgery, so finally able to update here. I LOVE it!! It's crazy how different it is from my 2020 Sport S, though not just the ride... it just feels like perfection, lol! I had the BuiltRight trail rail system, fishbone entry guards and Quadratec Brute Strength Side Steps all waiting for it to be delivered. I got the BuiltRight system including the MOLLE panels installed during the week of pick up despite the temps being in the teens and me still being under the weather. Install went well and I am super happy with how it functions. (on my 2020 I had gone the unistrut route and used some Locker shelving to serve as the MOLLE panels on the cab section, it worked well at the time but I am very happy to have gone this route this time around.). Got the entry guards install when the temps came back up a lil bit. Tried to get the Quadratec Brute Strength steps installed before my surgery and an opportunity to use my neighbors garage as it was again in the teens, decided to take off rock rails one at a time to install one bar at a time. Rock Rails came off easily ( i actually really love how it looks and functions with them, but our older dog really needs the steps to get in with my assistance and they go everywhere with me so I need them.). Started the install, what a pain in the ass that was... the other one was damaged so I had to go take the first one off, reinstall the rock rails and initial a return with quadratec. They were very quick to respond and sent a new set ASAP, but not in time to get them on before my surgery, so they are waiting in the living room. Moved over from my 2020 the stall mat that I had in the bed, the stubby antenna that I cleaned up, the Slush mats (originally from my wife's 2018 JLU, so fronts are the same, back ones are slightly different but i just loosed the under seat bin and slide them under then tighten back down and it works for now). Eventually we are gonna put the armorlite flooring in since we have two big dogs and are on and off the beach often all year long). I also took off and moved over from the 2020 the TYger tonneau cover (that was for a chevy colorado due to when I got it in 2019). It has a few tears that had just recently happened that I repaired and will use until we are ready to get the Alu-Cab Contour canopy. Not 100% sure on that but the options are get the softtopper and a rack that allows the use of that, or get the alu-cab contour canopy. We paddle board, kayak and ride a lot and are at the beach often. My goal is to be able to be able to camp out of it as well as use it for my side hustle of mobile CrossFit training and cuttin grass in the summer. Seems the alu-cab would most likely be the best choice. The other thing I'll add are a set of Black Rock Yuma Machine finish wheels. They are old school but also clear coated so easy to take care of with us being on and off the beach. Here are a few pics at delivery and a few days after. Good luck to everyone on their orders, I'm happy to be back home to be able to check in and see how it going. I'll start a build page for this one sometime soon. Happy Jeepin'!

They are the Built Right ones. They are nice quality and easy to install. I am very happy with them. I got the trail rail system, the MOLLE panels and the bags on the Black Friday deal. I'm very happy with it all.

Here are some pics of how I have it organized now, the side panels as you can see are two separate sections. Where my tractions boards are, I actually have them mounted to the trail rail and not the MOLLE panel. If I were buying them by the section, I wouldn't have needed that section. We are most likely going to be getting one of the Alu Cab Contour Canopies, so I think I may end up moving where the traction boards are so we'll end up being able to use that panel, but at the moment it's kind of just under them .

So these should work with the OEM Jeep Trail rails?

Yes, Matt has a video that shows how they work with the OEM rails as well as his. The OEM rails are a tiny bit shorter, so you angle when you insert them, versus his are the size of UNI-strut so slightly taller. But, YES, it works with both. I will get the link to that video...

Outstanding and thank you!

Since I ordered the truck with the OEM spray in bed liner I'm going to get them powder coated to match truck; for some contrast.

That sounds awesome! When I went to order it would not allow us to add the spray in bedliner. Here is the install video. Below that is the link to the page with all of the Gladiator items offered by BuiltRight.

Well mine is still showing as E for 10 days now. Wonder how some go through the build process in 1-3 days and mine is still there. I contacted dealer and their status said "I" whatever that means.

Mine just went into built after 11 days in production.
