Gladiator Fiberglass Shell

[Ichthus]

First, I wish this was still active.

Next, is there any planned compatibility with a soft top?

Seems like if there were a window that aligned with the factory beer window on the hard top, an inflatable rubber boot of sorts could seal the gap easily enough.

Also, seems this is square enough to accommodate an inner skeletal structure that attaches to the bed rails, but becomes an external rooftop rack.

I really hope something like this, with the few suggestions made, comes to market. I’d be interested in one in Bright White to match my LE.

Hello, Are you still active?

Hello, Are you still active?

Yes I am still active. Its ski season so I have slowed down. I just picked up a new jeep a couple weeks ago. It's not brand new but new to me. Unfortunately its not a Gladiator. They are just too overpriced for me. I got a great deal on a 2015 JK Sahara with less than 20,000 miles and I am building my overland camper from that. I will post some updates as I go. Maybe in a couple years I will pick up a used Gladiator.

Ok here are some different color variations. Should have the interest sheet up soon. Also, we made some adjustments to the box style top which I will share soon. Slight curve down on the top and matched the corners of the jeep roof in terms of the corners.

I wish you worked for Leer or ARE so they could get it right. Your lines on the full cap are what many of us are looking for.

It does come in black. I was told that it had to be glossy black or a bed liner look so I went with red.

was this meant for a gladiator? the curve where it meets the hard top looks like it was profiled for a different truck. it also looks like it extends past the bad a bit.

Yes. It was made for the gladiator. It’s their first version.

i guess so... maybe it's just the color vs. a black top that makes it stand out. Color match seems to be less noticeable this orange one is sweet. it's nice that options are coming for us for toppers.

I’m going to get my hardtop painted red too.

How does the top attach to the bed?

I have the MOPAR bed tie down track system in my bed. The topper uses aluminum brackets to attach to that.

Ok so its done and painted. We are going to take more sheen away in the next week or so as its more shiny then we wanted. Thanks A.R.E. Truck Caps and Tonneau Covers Fuller Truck Accessories for making this possible.
