People should post their questions and others can hopefully measure for them if I don't already have the info in post 1.

Of course ANY help is appreciated, but with a thing like data, you need to start with the best possible info when planning. What I mean by this is try to get accurate measurements. Use a straight edge if possible to measure the distances between two things. For example, to measure the bed height once I get my JT, i will lay a straight edge over both bed rails, then using a tape, measure from the top of any rib on the bed, and to where the bottom of the straight edge is. This would give you a good exact number for knowing if a cooler would fit under a tonneau cover for example.

When measuring how far a tire sticks out from the fender, don't eye-ball it, put a straight edge like a yard stick across both sides of the sidewall, then measure from outer fender edge to the yardstick.

It may sound silly as hell, but it only takes a few more seconds to obtain numbers this way.

THAT BEING SAID, consider all these measurements on here to be +- a bit of error. This will be compiled with many people's help. Don't cut your fancy T track from 8020 without measuring yourself. This is just for as close to possible planning for other folks that either don't have your specific parts/vehicle, or maybe don't have ANY JT yet at all (llike poor old me).

If you discover a measurement is way off, let me know please.

But I did start this thread cuz I can't find the Rubicon height from ground to top of bed rail. Anybody?

I'm designing a plywood topper and need to calculate some stuff for a fridge.

Ground to top of bed rail is ~50in for the Rubicon w/o weight in the bed.

is that measured from the top of the highest point on the bed? What i mean is that if there are raised ribs for strength, your item (like a cooler) will sit on top of that rib. The measurement should be from Top of that rib to bottom of tonneau.

its like ~17 and 7/8in from the lowest spot on the bed. The ribs are about a 1/2in. So excluding the wheel wells, anything 17in or less should fit under the top of the railing, siting on top of the ribs.

I’m glad you started this thread, that was my exact question to see if I could park the truck bed under some cabinets in the back of my garage. I was short by an inch and had to do some rearranging/remodeling.
