Exciting! I was just looking at the same bed rails. Mind letting us know how the install goes? I know you have to trim off some of the rear bumper to fit on properly, rest of it seems like an easy bolt on.

You bet, I'll take pictures.

I don't know if I need to put this in the classifieds but i thought i'd put it here first

Any interest in a fully outfitted JCR mid-height rack?

By fully outfitted I mean

4 gallon Rotopax gas container with mounts
Amazon traction boards with mounts
Speedstrap 2″ HD 3-POINT SPARE TIRE TIE-DOWN WITH SWIVEL HOOKS as well as mounted D-rings

It's $850 new now from JCR. I'll sell the whole thing for $800 and i'll deliver within AZ

I just noticed I don't have a great pic of the traction boards, but they're black and you can see them in the first pic

Damn, rewind two plus months and I might have jumped on this, I ended up going cab height. Why are you selling?

Front locker?
Took me a bit to find the pics. I traced a roll of duct tape I had for the curved part towards the front and then cut to the edge of the metal part of the bumper. I trimmed more than I needed to but didn’t want plastic flopping around back there.

Installation wasn't that bad. I used a razor knife to trim out the plastic, it was so hot that it cut like butter. I used the passenger side trim to template the driver side. I did have to notch the driver side frame bracket to clear the exhaust outlet.

I had to take it off to haul some stuff, and I decided i like it more aesthetically without it. I like to hang a trash sac and a fire extinguisher on it when I go wheeling, but I kinda like having more bed access more often rather than the usefulness it gives me on the few long trips I go on per year

Its one of those things where if I sell it, good, if I don't, that's fine too

2021 Jeep Gladiator
Longtime reader, first time introduction. Nice to see all these AZ JTs. Coming up on a couple years with '21 Rubicon. My first Jeep, first 4WD (come to think of it, my first vehicle w/ electric windows) and loving it every day. Lean more towards overlanding and camping-related activities rather than crawling but up for meeting up any time. (I'm out in the East Valley.)

@AzGladius Mykids are going nuts for the RC trucks. We hit the shop here in the east valley a few weeks ago and they are currently earning $$ to save up for their own.

A noob here from Apache Junction.

I take possession of a certified 2021 Gladiator this morning from Bill Luke Santan in Gilbert. Really looking forward to it!

I'm not sure what brand the rack is but it has panels that will accommodate my TrailRax jugs and mounting hardware. Those worked well on my Wrangler.

Welcome to the white JT club! Not a bad starting point. Congrats! ?

Well, that is a Rebel Offroad XPLOR bed rack and it came with a few boxes of additional panels, top slats & a table mount. I ordered up a hardware kit from them this morning so I can finish the slat installation and get the RotoPax gear attached.

It has a 2" MOPAR OEM lift on it, the wheels are ProComp Bandido 17x9 black painted wheels and the tires are Falken Wildpeak M/Ts in a LT285/70R17. Got a little more tire poke than I'd like but maybe those MOPAR XR Wrangler flares will fit.

One little problem to solve. The dealer did not include the slotted key for the lugnuts. They look like Gorilla locks but I'm not sure. I've reached out to the dealer and they are looking but I don't hold out much hope that they will find one little lugnut key. Discount Tire says they can identify most locks and get the right key. Worst case I let them use one of their extractor tools to remove all the lugnuts and I get a new set of my choosing. I might be able to lay the bill on the dealer business manager's desk. We'll see....
