Hey Gladiator guys!

Hannah over here from FLATED. We make inflatable automobile accessories. I manage the customer service side of things and I wanted to connect with ya'll and see if you had any questions. I am also sharing a discount code to get you introduced.

Gladiator0924! is for 20% off good through September only.
Then Gladiator24! is for 15% off

We have three sizes of Air-Toppers that fit the Gladiator! And an Air-Deck our raised platform.

1. Air-Topper MidRise - It gives a little extra head room in the back of the bed.


2. The Air-Topper 5ft CAP - This one we originally created to be cab height - but because the Gladiator has so much head space and it a little boxier than other trucks. This one however is compatible with some racks out there on the market if youre doing a full overland build!

3. Now we have the new Gladiator CAP, which is cab level and custom fit for the Gladiator!

Ill be here to answer questions or you can find me on the chat function on our website - www.FLATED.com

I wasn´t sure what to think, but after checking it out and gawking at the photos, I think this is a pretty darned cool idea!

More pics, please!

What are the benefits of this over a softtopper that justifies the $600 premium over them?

I’m sure there is a market for this but definitely not for me. Cost is way too high IMO. There are other temporary top options for less. I feel those are also high for what you get but again my opinion. A neat idea but it feels like a solution in search of a problem.

Watched an install video on one of these recently Fit was terrible. Gaps all over. Rear panel was cumbersome and a poor fit.

I cannot understand why this product exists. A Softopper is 50% cheaper and works way better. Is more easily removed.

Hard pass. Can’t imagine they last long.

I have one on my Sierra and like that I can haul a kayak on the roof, has windows that roll down screens to keep the bugs out, but airflow, also dont have to mount anything to the rails.

They last longer than canvas!! All the best parts of a hard shell without having to store it in your yard. I've personally had mine on full time for 3 years and lived in the back of my Tacoma in my AirTopper. I only take it off when I need my truck to be a truck again!

it is temporary - but its also rigid and is installed way faster then any other topper on the market.

Great fpr hauling kayaks, ladders, anything else you may need up there!

We made the Gladiator specifically for the Jeep Gladiator so the fit is spot on. There are a few install videos from our first round of product in 2021 that we have come so far from and now have a completed product.

And while our toppers are easy to install, I've been managing customer service for a while now, and there are some customers out there whom I love, but I do need to explain how a cam strap works, or why the valve needs to be fully closed to hold the air in. And if there are any issues with fitment or people need any help - were available to help them.
