Is there an aftermarket box for the Gladiator?

[Griz375]

My wife is gaga over the Gladiator but we have an issue. She uses a manual wheel chair and the foot print for the chair lifter consumes almost 50% of the available OEM pickup bed. Is there an after market solution any one is aware of. She will never go off roading so approach/departure angles are not an issue.

TIA

The only aftermarket I've seen was shorter.

Do you need more width or length?
I have seen a couple done in flatbed online.

I suppose you could buy another bed from a salvage and have a shop cut, splice, and paint.

Should be plenty of options on the hitch receiver, would that not work?

Someone has a flatbed setup for the JT. It is in this mess somewhere.

I carry a foldable lightweight power chair in the bed. It weighs about 60 pounds including batteries. I am able to access the chair, deploy it easily. Putting it back in the bed is very easy as well.

Possibly but I think that means no actual towing. We'd prefer to drop the chair in the truck bed. I'm looking at bed extender solutions but they seem to come up a little short too.

One of my high school friends was paralyzed from the waist down from a tree cutting accident .He had a lift that came up out of the bed .Worked good

What kind of towing? Might it be easier to mount the chair onto the trailer?

Also, a bed extender could run you into the front of a trailer. I know that depending on which trailer I have hooked up, I cannot open my tailgate without hitting the tongue jack.

That's what we have - Bruno PUL 1100

It does double duty as I've dressed out a couple of ntelope using it as a hoist

Thank you for suggesting ours! We would be happy to quote one to you @Griz375 and help accommodate your lift! Our flatbed will nearly double the usable square footage!
