No actual experience. But I was talking to a lady who borrowed a friend's Gladiator sitting on 37s with guessing a 4+ inch lift. The owner of said vechicle was wheelchair bound. She said he did just fine. Guessing lots of upper body strength.
I JUST bought a Gladiator Overland last week and I am in a wheelchair. The VA ordered my wheelchair lift (puts the chair in the bed) and also hand controls for the gas and brakes. I traded in my Nissan Titan which was taller. So far, I've had zero issues getting in and out. It sucks not having the lift yet because it means that I have to break down my chair and lift it over me and into the passenger seat. I am attaching a picture of another Gladiator as it is the same lift setup that I have coming.
This isn't the Wrangler forum.
I'm guessing that the poster (fredly) is also disabled and using this thread to get suggestions to help them find a power soft top for their own Jeep?
I used one of these when transporting my mother who was wheelchair-bound. A huge help. I attached it to the inside roof grab handle instead of the door, like in the photo. They are only $10, so an easy help, or accessories to other methods.
I had a friend who was paralyzed from the waist down and got in and out of his 2500 Super Duty on his own.
It can be installed in front driver or front passenger position on Wrangler JL and Gladiators. Now hold your breath. $14k installed. It’s about $2k-$4k more than normal ones installed in full-size trucks. Lots of engineering and software to position through the small door But it goes lower than any other system I have seen which usually stops at the the height of the door opening. I have a Gladitor on 40” tires so I needed the extra drop.
Hello, I am looking buy a new vehicle and this looks very promising. I have reached out to the local vehicle vehicle modification company that I normally use. The mostly deal with Braun equipment. They came back with a no go on a seat for jeep gladiator. Could you please let me now who the manufacturer is and who is the company that is installing it. I would greatly appreciate it.Check this out. Not cheap by any means but.. life changer. We are getting it installed first week of May 2023.
My normal go-to company said the same thing (Ability Center) but then I saw this at the ability show in LA. It was in the Ability Center floor space booth and a rep who runs a different location showed it to us. Apparently people at these stores are not really seeing what’s new and emerging OR they are just too busy to Google it On their own. Also, the words these companies use to describe their products are not words real people use So they are nearly impossible to find. Anyway, they were happy to get it for us and install it.
