Updated - Topper fit

[dutch7]

Imagine it with color match or flat black, but how does it look to you all?
The rails are spot on, a little over hang on the rear corners but a big gap up front… not sure what to think.
I’ve been looking for a used topper that fits and honestly this is the first one that sort of does
Thanks for a yea or nay.

Since you’re asking, no from my point of view.
Doesn’t fit the truck at all.

Yeah you asked - that's gonna be a no from me dawg. The lines don't work at all. The parallelogram windows of the topper with the near squares of the Gladiator etc... no.

 

[Jaxmax]

Nay, but it's your truck and looks like you bought it already, hopefully for short money. Slide it front the extra half inch to edge of side bed cap, that's where my RSI sits. Think about it Jeeps are sorta ugly anyway, and most caps are not beautiful. There have been all brands of caps sold here before.

Works for me. As long as it functions well and meets your needs, go with it. Can you make it seal well enough to keep out rain? I’d be tempted to paint it flat black or with black bedliner. Let us know how it turns out if you stick with it.

I agree with the “it doesn’t fit” comment. I don’t like the window angles and the roof line is just goofy.
I haven’t purchased it, just set it up there to have a look.
Thanks for the opinions folks!

It's not pretty but honestly the gladiator with any topper is hideous in my opinion. Reminds me of the feeling I get when I see a goldwing motorcycle. Maybe when I get into my 50's I'll think they're cool.

Cool? Well wait until your in your 60’s!
I agree with the goldwing comment!

I have a soft topper that is “ok” for keeping things dry but hardly secure, that is the goal, I was never ?
?

If you can’t get it to 1/2way seal up against water, does it matter what it looks like?

 

[Mad Dog]

What truck is the shell originally for?

 

[ChrisNLA]

Heck for me it just depends on how much. A new topper is $3,800 plus tax (and shipping, if necessary).

If that thing is a bargain and just needs a DIY matte black coating - I'd run it.

But, often I end up being more function over form.

Still looks better than that awful looking Wild Top people are buying.

 

[j.o.y.ride]

The first thing I would notice is, that is clearly not made for the truck it's on.

 

[dutch7]

I am sure I can get it sealed without much monkeying around and it is from a Colorado
$4000 for a new “made for gladiator” topper just a won’t fly.
I will stew on it a bit longer but I appreciate all the comments

 

[GOCAMPN]

Man you are all crazy, I think it looks sick. But maybe because everyone I wheel with has wild diy-fabbed rigs. Picture that top color matched, and some fab work to clean up where it meets the cab and rails... sheesh it's perfect.
