Jeep Gladiator Bed Racks Built For Every Overland Mission
Modular T-slot aluminum bed racks for the Gladiator JT — overland, rooftop tent, camper shell, tonneau, MOLLE, kayak and bike builds. One truck. One rail grid. Infinite configurations — engineered and machined in the USA.
The Ultimate Jeep Gladiator Overland Platform
An Xtrusion Gladiator bed rack turns your JT into a self-contained adventure rig — rooftop tent up top, gear and MOLLE on the sides, and the 5-foot bed still free for everything else. It is the single most versatile overland upgrade for the Jeep Gladiator.
- Build the perfect overland Gladiator — mount a rooftop tent and awning while keeping the 5-ft bed usable.
- Run a bed cover or camper shell too — dedicated builds for BAK Revolver, RuggedRidge Armis, Softopper and the XO.SKLTN topper.
- Add MOLLE & recovery gear — bed-side and overhead MOLLE panels, RotopaX, MaxTrax, shovels and traction boards.
- Haul long & tall loads — kayaks, canoes, bikes and cargo boxes ride above the JT bed.

Find Your Perfect Gladiator Bed Rack
Answer a few quick questions about your JT and how you use it — we'll match you to the exact Xtrusion rack that fits your Gladiator, your cover and your gear.
Built For Overland, Camping & Work
The same modular Jeep Gladiator bed rack adapts to how you actually use your JT — reconfigure it in minutes as your mission changes.
Overland & Rooftop Tent
Mount a rooftop tent, awning, water and recovery boards. The go-to setup for a 2020–2026 Jeep Gladiator overland build.
Camper Shell / Topper
Want enclosed, lockable storage? The XO.SKLTN modular topper is the Gladiator camper-shell answer — a hardtop alternative on the same rack architecture.
Bed Cover & Tonneau
Keep your bed cover and add a rack. Dedicated builds run over BAK Revolver X4s/X4ts, RuggedRidge Armis MaxTrack and Softopper.
MOLLE & Recovery
Bed-side and overhead MOLLE panels turn every surface into organized storage for tools, RotopaX, MaxTrax and gear.
Kayak, Bike & Water
Carry kayaks, canoes, paddleboards and fork-mount mountain bikes above the JT bed on the T-slot grid.
Work & Utility
A no-drill, corrosion-proof aluminum rack for tools, lumber and job-site gear — it won't rust like a steel contractor rack.

No drilling, ever
Every Gladiator rack mounts to the factory bed rails, the available Trail Rail cargo system, or heavy-duty clamp and wide-bracket kits — no holes, no welding, no voided warranty.
One bed, every JT
The Gladiator ships in a single 5-foot bed across all model years, so a 2020, 2022, 2024 or 2026 Gladiator all take the same rack — just tell us your cover and height.
Every trim fits
Sport, Sport S, Willys, Overland, Rubicon, Mojave and the EcoDiesel all bolt on the same clean way, with or without the factory Trail Rail system.
Four Gladiator Rack Systems, One T-Slot Grid
Every system shares the same modular T-slot architecture — so accessories transfer as your Gladiator build evolves.

XTR1 Bed Rack
Clean 4-upright, open-architecture rack. The lightest full-frame option — best for RTT-focused Gladiator overland builds.

XTR3 Bed Rack
Adds two center uprights, splitting the rack into four independent quadrants with MOLLE-ready panels. Built for heavy, distributed gear.

XBRS Crossbar Kit
Two low-profile bed bars with a full T-slot accessory grid. The entry point for kayaks, bikes, baskets and tent hardware.

XO.SKLTN Topper
A modular topper on the same aluminum architecture — the Gladiator camper-shell answer. Weather-sealed, lockable, T-slot channels throughout.

Gladiator Bed Cover, Tonneau & Camper Shell Compatibility
Want a bed rack and a bed cover, tonneau or camper shell? We build dedicated Jeep Gladiator variants so the two work together cleanly.
BAK Revolver X4s / X4ts Keep your cover
Dedicated XTR1 build runs over the BAK Revolver X4s and X4ts hard roll-up covers — keep your locking, weatherproof bed cover and still carry a rooftop tent and gear.
RuggedRidge Armis w/ MaxTrack No cover removal
Clamps around the RuggedRidge Armis MaxTrack rails so your folding cover keeps working while a full-height rack sits above it.
Softopper / soft topper
Flared-geometry XTR1 & XTR3 builds clear the Softopper canvas frame without rubbing when you fold it down — soft-top storage plus a full rack.
Want a camper shell instead? XO.SKLTN
Prefer enclosed, lockable storage? The XO.SKLTN All-In-One Topper is the Gladiator camper-shell answer — a hardtop-style topper on the same T-slot rack.
Jeep Gladiator Bed Rack Load Capacity
Lightweight aluminum extrusion that punches into heavy-duty territory on the trail and the job site.
Parked — safely supports the rack, a heavy rooftop tent, multiple adults and all packed camp gear.
While driving paved surfaces — handles highway physics, braking forces and standard vibration cleanly.
Over washboard and technical trail — keep heavy fuel, water and batteries low on the side brackets.
Ratings shown are XTR3 maximums, evenly distributed, and are subject to your OEM bed-rail capacity. XTR1 rates 400 / 800 / 1,500 lbs. If your factory bed rails or Trail Rail can't handle the full rated load, the lower rating applies.
Easy Driveway Installation
If you can use a socket set and an Allen wrench, you can install your Gladiator bed rack in an afternoon — bolting to the Trail Rail or bed rails with no permanent modification and no voided warranty.
Assemble hoops
Slide drop-in T-nuts into the uprights and bolt to the billet corner gussets. Leave finger-tight.
Connect crossbars
Set your hoops to bed length and tie the structure together with the side bars or plates.
Prep the bed rails
Drop into the factory Trail Rail T-slots, or position the heavy-duty clamp and wide-bracket mounts along the bed lip.
Lift & align
With a helper, set the assembled frame onto the brackets and catch the bolt threads.
Square & torque
Center and square the rack front-to-back, then torque every fastener to spec.
Estimated install time: 1–2 hours with one helper.

What Makes Our Gladiator Rack Different
T-slot on every surface
Near-infinite mounting points on every linear surface. Attach and reconfigure MOLLE, tents and gear in minutes — no fixed holes like welded steel racks.
CNC billet parts
Every corner bracket, handle and mounting plate is precision-machined from billet aluminum — no stamped steel, no rusting tube.
Highest capacity on the market
Up to 1,550 lbs static. Our 15/10-series extrusion with reinforced gussets delivers rigidity sheet metal can't match.
Made in the USA
Family-owned in Wichita, Kansas. American-sourced aluminum and steel, and real people who answer the phone at (316) 330-0024.
Modular, not one-and-done
Add MOLLE panels later. Swap crossbars for kayak mounts. Add a camper shell topper. The system grows with you — buy once, expand forever.
Limited lifetime warranty
We stand behind every rack against manufacturing defects. No runaround — just real customer support when you need it.
Trusted On & Off The Trail
Built my 2021 Rubicon into a full overland rig with the XTR3 and MOLLE package. Tent on top, RotopaX and MaxTrax on the sides, bed still usable. Nothing else is this modular.
Runs perfectly over my BAK Revolver X4ts. I kept the locking cover and added a rooftop tent — exactly what I couldn't find anywhere else for the JT.
The Softopper build clears the canvas with zero rubbing. Soft-top storage plus a real bed rack on my Gladiator — dialed.
The Complete Guide To Jeep Gladiator Bed Racks
An Xtrusion Overland Jeep Gladiator bed rack is a modular aluminum cargo platform that mounts to the JT truck bed to carry gear above and around the bed floor. Whether you're building a Jeep Gladiator overland rig with a rooftop tent, adding a camper shell or topper for enclosed storage, or running a bed cover and rack together, the same T-slot system adapts to every use case on the 2020–2026 Gladiator.
Best Jeep Gladiator overland build
For a Jeep Gladiator overland build, the goal is to carry a rooftop tent, awning, recovery boards, water and MOLLE gear while keeping the 5-foot bed usable. The XTR1 is the most popular Gladiator overland rack; heavier, MOLLE-loaded builds step up to the XTR3 with four independent quadrants. It's the same recipe whether you have a 2020, 2021, 2022 or 2023 Jeep Gladiator.
Jeep Gladiator camper shell & topper options
Searching for a Jeep Gladiator camper shell, topper, or a hardtop / slant-back shell? The XO.SKLTN All-In-One Topper is a modular, weather-sealed Gladiator topper on the same rack architecture — lockable, dry storage that still mounts a rooftop tent. It's the flexible alternative to a fixed camper shell for the Jeep Gladiator.
Jeep Gladiator bed cover & tonneau with a rack
Want a Jeep Gladiator bed cover and a rack together? We build dedicated variants for the BAK Revolver X4s / X4ts, RuggedRidge Armis w/ MaxTrack and Softopper, so a Gladiator bed rack with a tonneau cover is no compromise — keep your hard, roll-up or locking cover and still run a full rack.
Jeep Gladiator roof rack vs. bed rack
Many shoppers search Jeep Gladiator roof rack or half roof rack when what they really want is a bed rack that carries gear high and clear of the cab. An Xtrusion bed rack does exactly that — kayaks, boxes and tents ride above the bed and over the cab line, with far more capacity than a cab-mounted roof rack.
Jeep Gladiator MOLLE panels & accessories
The T-slot channels accept bed-side and overhead MOLLE panels, so a Jeep Gladiator MOLLE panel setup organizes tools, RotopaX, MaxTrax, fuel and water. Add fork-mount bike carriers, kayak J-cradles and awning brackets as Gladiator bed rack accessories whenever you're ready.
Which Gladiator years and trims fit?
Fits 2020–2026 Jeep Gladiator JT in the single 5-foot bed — Sport, Sport S, Willys, Overland, Rubicon, Mojave and EcoDiesel — with or without the factory Trail Rail system. A 2020 Gladiator overland build and a 2025 Gladiator build bolt on the same clean way.
Why aluminum T-slot instead of steel?
Our 15/10-series T-slot aluminum is lighter yet delivers up to 1,550 lbs of static capacity — the highest of any modular Gladiator bed rack system on the market — and it's proudly made in the USA.
