Why a Gladiator bed rack

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.

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.

Aerospace-grade strength

0

Parked — safely supports the rack, a heavy rooftop tent, multiple adults and all packed camp gear.

0
lbs Dynamic On-Road

While driving paved surfaces — handles highway physics, braking forces and standard vibration cleanly.

0

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.

No welding · No drilling

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.

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 complete guide

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.

Answers

Jeep Gladiator Bed Rack FAQ

Which Jeep Gladiator years and trims fit?
Every 2020–2026 Jeep Gladiator JT fits — Sport, Sport S, Willys, Overland, Rubicon, Mojave and the EcoDiesel. The Gladiator uses a single 5-foot bed, so all model years share the same rack; you just choose your cover and height.
Will I need to drill into my Gladiator to install a bed rack?
No. Every Gladiator bed rack mounts to the factory bed rails, the available Trail Rail cargo system, or heavy-duty clamp and wide-bracket kits. No drilling, no welding, no permanent modification, and no voided warranty.
Can I run a bed rack AND a tonneau or bed cover together?
Yes — that's a specialty of ours. We build dedicated Gladiator variants for the BAK Revolver X4s/X4ts, RuggedRidge Armis w/ MaxTrack rails, and Softopper, so you keep your locking, roll-up or folding bed cover and still carry a full rooftop-tent rack.
What's the difference between a bed rack, a topper, and a camper shell?
A bed rack is an open frame that carries gear above the bed. A topper or camper shell encloses the bed for locked, weatherproof storage. Our XO.SKLTN All-In-One Topper does both — an enclosed, hardtop-style camper-shell alternative built on the same modular T-slot rack.
Can I mount a rooftop tent and awning on a Gladiator bed rack?
Absolutely — it's what these are built for. The XTR1 and XTR3 include rooftop-tent brackets, and the 400–450 lb dynamic off-road rating handles the heaviest tents. Awnings bolt to the side T-slots on either side of the bed.
Does it work with the factory Trail Rail system?
Yes. Gladiators equipped with the factory Trail Rail cargo management system use drop-in T-slot brackets. Trucks without it use our clamp or wide-bracket mounts — either way there's no drilling.
Can I add MOLLE panels to my Gladiator bed rack?
Yes. The T-slot channels accept both bed-side and overhead MOLLE panels. The XTR3 ships with MOLLE-ready packages, and you can add panels, RotopaX, MaxTrax and Quick Fists to any build later.
Is this a roof rack or a bed rack?
It's a bed rack — it mounts in the truck bed and carries gear high and clear of the cab, which is what most 'Gladiator roof rack' or 'half roof rack' searches are really after. It carries far more than a cab-mounted roof rack: kayaks, cargo boxes, tents and more.
What's the difference between the XTR1 and XTR3?
The XTR1 is our streamlined 4-upright classic — the lightest full-frame option and the popular overland pick. The XTR3 adds two center uprights, splitting the rack into four independent quadrants with MOLLE-ready panels for roughly double the mounting space.
How much weight can a Gladiator bed rack hold?
Up to 1,550 lbs static (parked), 850 lbs dynamic on-road and 450 lbs dynamic off-road on the XTR3 (XTR1 rates 1,500 / 800 / 400 lbs), evenly distributed and subject to your OEM bed-rail or Trail Rail capacity.
