I've seen someone else here retrofit the Yakima model to work (I believe there are some t slot adapters you can buy). I think it was the full height version. From what I remember, I wasn't really happy in the photos of how the feet sat on the bed/tslot channel (just aesthetically). I've seen the yakima rack on another truck model though and it is definitely more robust then this setup. It's also significantly more expensive though. Although I think angling in the rack is probably better from a load carrying perspectively, I find the square look of this rack (imo) fits the body/look of the gladiator well.This looks like a great solution.
Checking to see if you looked at the Yakima OutPost tower setup. I already have the Yakima towers from a previous truck and want to order the Bak X4s for the Gladiator.
The Yakima towers are 13 inches in height but lean towards the center of the bed. They also have a tiedown loop on the inside of the tower that might get in the way of the X4s. I was not sure if there is enough clearance for the X4s to fully open with the OutPost towers installed.
Hoping someone has tried this solution with sucess.
