Gladiator Bed Sliders

[MyMojaveJT]

So back when I had my TJ I had something like this for protection the rear tub area. Wondering is anyone making anything like this for the Gladiator?

Looks like a custom welded job. I'm sure you could have a custom shop add something like that.

Those may have been custom. I was just looking for an example when I used that picture. The set I had on my TJ I ordered from quadratec or 4 Wheel parts but that was 10 years or so ago.

They were "bolt on" with drilling some holes in the tub.

But you are right I might be able find a local shop to make something like that I was just wondering if any thing like that was already being made.

If you get good quality rock sliders that lead into good quality fender flares you would have to work very hard to find a rock that will get to the bed without already hitting either the slider or fender first and the truck being held back from the rock.

That rock exists out there, but you may as well wrap the truck in full tube cage if you're worried about finding it.

And if you did find said rock with those on there, given how thin the metal of the bed is, you risk getting a giant dent down the length of the bed slider you put on vs just the local one. Doubt the bed is strong enough to push back anyhow.

IMO.

Good point here. A 2 ton gantry can only lift as much at the structure its mounted to can support, right?

That said, being the goofball I am, I may get these or something similar just for aesthetics / create additional mounting points for doodads.

I do think they look cool.

I wouldn't mind those to mount to my bed rack so I have a grab handle.

Why do people put 6" lifts, 22" wheels w/ 50 series tires on Jeeps?

At this point, I haven't found anyone that makes any type of exoskeleton for the JT.

The only bed protection out there is for the bottom edges, rock rails or sliders, and then the back corners there are rails/sliders that integrate with an aftermarket rear bumper.

Aesthetically, they look kinda cool and a short guy like me likes something to grab when climbing up on the tire to mess with stuff in the bed.
