Anybody know what this tube in the bed is?

Thanks all for your replies! So they're just plain drain holes. I thought it would have been more to it but that's cool.

Like Shifu said, there are holes in the side next to the tie downs. Used them with my Rugged Ridge hard tri-fold cover. They work perfectly. I was about to drill through the plastic plugs when I noticed them. I thought, I wonder where those go. Pushed the tubes through and they came out right in front of the fender liner. Hosed it down, water ran harmlessly out the tube and down the outside of the liner. Now I just ordered truck in February and took delivery in March so I don’t know if everyone has them or if they are only on more recent builds.

Thanks for pointing this out. I almost drilled those plastic caps on the back wall.

I have no idea. I have never seen a gladiator that has that. My only suggestion is to chase the wiring to see where it goes

I'd guess they are drains from the gutters of the hard tonneau cover

I'm no expert, but from what I've read on here, those look to be drain tubes for the hard tonneau cover gutters, like was mentioned a few posts up.

Water drains for your bed cover.

@SkyKing is correct, it is your drain tubes.
