ARE Gladiator Shell Pre Order

[bgenlvtex]

Can you tell me about the power distribution center you have pictured here?
thanks?

I assembled it, all Amazon parts and pieces supplies power to the 4 lighting circuits, 4 USB 3.0QC, an SAE 20a plug in the left front of the bed to power the fuel pump for the aux tank, and a cigarette lighter style 20a outlet, all circuits fused, supply power on a 30a breaker at the battery.

That's is the tank
I wrapped the tank in reflectix insulation, and bent up a piece of .125" Kydex for armor, and a steel strap (1.5"x .125") seen in red, that connects to the L track that runs across the front and down the sides of the bed (strong shit right there) the tank strap is captive behind two of the mounts for the deck superstructure.

It will breath through a charcoal canister vented to the outside of the bed using 8mm push to lock tubing that runs to a venturi tube to evacuate vapor off of the tank and allow expansion and contraction. That is mostly done just needs to be finished and installed.

The pump connects up to the (red) suction port AN8 fitting, tank is grounded by strap, a bond wire is in place for tank to dispenser static discharge, and there is a 20a SAE connection for the pump in the left front of the bed

For anyone reading this this late in the game, the gull wing side windows are very nice to have. Allowing full access to the bed.

What I got for bed access. Should be here in a couple weeks.

More cargo management for the ARE shell. 2x20L Scepter water cans secured with L track buttons, aluminum T-bar locators connected to the 1515L structure used for the rear deck

Also Mountain Hatch tailgate board and 3x68 quart Plano totes

The light that comes in them is a worthless piece of garbage, you're going to want to upgrade that.

I added lighting and a 2/3 deck in mine as well as a 17 gallon fuel tank

Wondering where you got the 2/3 deck from. And is it easily moved back and forth on the rails?

Thanks.

I built it and no sir it does not slide. It is (relatively) easy to remove altogether should the need arise, but does not slide. The shell has gull wing windows on the side, so the deck is 100% accessible either through the side or back windows. The deck is 1515L T slot extrusion decked with 12mm Baltic Birch. The supports are bolted to 2x2x.250 aluminum angle attached to the L Track that I installed using the factory mounting points for the "trail rail" system

Darn. Was hoping maybe you bought it somewhere.

Anyone watching the thread know if anyone makes a platform like this?

I just ordered an A.R.E. CX Classic via Arizona Truck Outfitters, Tucson. Estimated delivery date is 10-12 weeks out.

 

[wvyankee2]

Mine will be here Monday.

highly recommend the windoors. otherwise your climbing in the back to get stuff. love mine.

I went with the windoor on the passengerside so easy to get items not in traffic and I also have a dog sometimes so the pet window on the driverside!

Does that board use all factory mounting points? Do you have to remove anything from the tailgate or does it just bolt over top of it all?

Yes it does, and no you don't other than the factory attaching hardware

Got mine in- I’d like to hear what crossbars you guys have experience with and recommend- something I can mount a 270 degree awning to. I didn’t want to just go with what ARE offered before I did some more research
