Alternative to trail rail package?

[steffen707]

Anyone have any ideas of current companies that make a rail type of system for a truck bed or have plans to make one for the Gladiator?

I figure I don't need the outlet because it has one inside the cab and can always get aftermarket boxes for underseat storage. I don't think the package is worth $800 so I'm looking for aftermarket alternatives. I'm wondering if it bolts up to existing holes or will need to be drilled when installed.

LMAO, on the cheap, use a forster bit on some stips of plywood, bolt on then put screw in eyelets wherever you want.

I'm going to look into that L track though as I'll most likely get the decked setup

Forster bit is to countersink the bolts

Okay here i go. Go to lows in the electric materials get some rail for industrial mounting of equipment. This costs about 16$ a 10 ft joint. check the bolt size in the bed side. Then buy some Allen head cap bolt that fits the nut. Cut and measure to size. To mount equipment get spring nuts in the size you want to use, then use some acme instructions to assemble, Cut, bend, fit to suit.

Just out of curiosity, Does anyone know the thread size for the tapped holes in the back of the bed (Closest to the cab). I was thinking to just thread some eye bolts in there to create some upper tie downs. Any ideas? I have no way of knowing, except to go buy a bunch of bolts and keep trying.
Thoughts?

8x1.25? I’m just taking a wild ass guess here.

Is this out to market???

Now that I think of it, you could do something similar yourself a lot cheaper, however running an electric outlet on another inverter would be time consuming. I am sure there will be people making aftermarket storage bins for under the seats. Nice idea OP

We’re you able to confirm this?

Oh god no.

The other option is have the dealer look at the parts film for the bed and tell you what hardware FCA specifies.

The threaded features in the bed are an M6x1.0 I believe.

Me like too . . . now this gives me another option to "TENT IT" with the tailgate down, the Fiberglass tonneau up and the newly Fabricated, Industrial strength Velcro'd TENT Adaptation, of my current Kodiak ground tent - to be "converted" later, so I can Camp in my own unique style ! ! ! Hard to believe MOPAR doesn't have yet .

@BuiltRight Industries makes a copy of their own now. Available on pre-order for $200. They will be selling additional tie downs too.

You can buy the Mopar Bed Rails as an accessory and bolt them in yourself. I did this on my Gladiator Sport S.
Cheers
