Has anyone installed a bed topper on their Gladiator? Has anyone made one that fits a Gladiator yet? I’ve seen all the photoshopped ones on the innerwebs but I’d like to see a real one. Please post pics!

I called them a couple months ago, they told me they would Definitely be making their 'Classic' aluminum series for the JT. That might be a little old-school for most folks but I will likely get one = Super easy to take off/on too.

My ARE rep called ARE yesterday and he could not confirm the aluminum classic was going to be made. ARE told him it was the workers ALL aluminum topper and the CX models. I wouldn't mind the "classic" aluminum if that was all they made. I've had their other toppers and they were great but the simplicity and lightness of the classic aluminum is appealing to me for this vehicle.

I like the idea of a topper on a pickup. Had one on my last truck. But putting one on a convertible is not in the cards for me (I'm going hard top). Do you guys intend to take off the top with the topper on? Or will you be running soft tops?

I have DD a 2006 LJ hardtop for 11 years - top has never been off.
When we had a JK only took off the front 2 panels on occasion.

I'd be interested to see if they could match the color and texture of the OEM non-painted hardtop. This is something that I'd really like to put on mine, but I can't justify the extra grand for color matched (and the black hard tops look good against Sting Grey).

Im waiting to see a cap that resembles the rear of a wrangler cap, making the gladiator look like an extended jeep, I think thats the only way a cap will look good on a gladiator.

I do think it would look nice, it's very easy to make one, my only concern would be if it is legal to copy there top to make a perfect match .
