Our posted lead times are only estimations and rely on various factors, many times outside of our control. Historic challenging times within our industry have caused ripples in the supply chain world that have repercussions even on the smallest of components at times. As you would imagine, many companies in our industry are experiencing the same.
Our bed racks are super cool, with the ability to be customized. But this causes a series of challenges due to the thousands of possible combinations regarding compatibility, availability, etc. However, we are constantly aiming at improving our processes, hiring and training our people to achieve a reliable fulfillment process.
If you have additional questions about our lead times, please check our current estimations and reach out to our team if you need additional information. We thank you for your continued support and patience as we improve our processes.
While we would do our best to accommodate a specific need, please do not plan any trips or outings based on the estimated lead times.
THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS
Xtrusion Overland started supplying various brands that go hand in hand with our own products, to provide a complete service and help us grow. This includes products that are drop shipped. Please be advised that availability and lead times of those product are solely impacted by the third-party vendor's schedule. Many products are sold under an open inventory method, as the technology to sync inventories is limited, therefore please reach out if a specific product is needed by a specific date for us to double check with the supplier for you!
Any potential delay that occurs in the sourcing, processing, or drop shipment at the third party level will be communicated to the best of our ability to the customer.
ESTIMATED DATE | LEAD TIMES
The estimated lead time provided when you placed your order is JUST AN ESTIMATE. It is not a guarantee that the product will be shipped on that date. The estimated lead time gives you some sense of what the current times to source, cut, pack and ship takes. Many times the lead time can be shorter, but likewise it can extend, depending on factors such as previous demand and current supply. We manufacture many components in house, but extenuating circumstances such as down time for maintenance or unscheduled downtimes for repairs might impact dates as well as delays related to our sourced components. There is a constant flow of parts and shipments, and sometimes the visibility becomes a challenge to pinpoint exactly when your product will ship.
Feel free to check on your order at any time. Be aware that our customer service team may not be able to give you an exact date for completion but rest assured we are tracking your order and it will be built in the order that it was received.
Xtrusion Overland also reserves the right to cancel items from an order, offer an alternative substitution or issue refund accordingly when product is delayed at an unacceptable time frame or at the request of the customer.

TrailGate Panel for Jeep Gladiator — Premium Aluminum Tailgate Cover
The TrailGate Panel for Jeep Gladiator is a 1/8" aluminum tailgate cover that transforms your Gladiator's uneven tailgate into a flat, utility-ready surface. Use it as a camp table insert, project workspace, knee-saver, or overland camping platform.
Unlike soft tailgate pads or fabric tailgate covers, the TrailGate Panel creates a rigid, flat surface for real work at camp or on the trail. Engineered for a precision OEM fit in your 2020+ 1st Gen Jeep Gladiator, this gladiator tailgate insert drops in tool-free and comes right out when you need the full bed space.
What You Can Do With a Gladiator Tailgate Panel
- Camp Table: A flat, stable surface for meal prep, coffee, or cooking at the campsite. No more balancing pots on ridges or setting gear on the ground.
- Project Workspace: A solid surface for gear builds, repairs, or organizing your off-road equipment. Bolts, screws, and small parts stay where you put them.
- Knee-Saver: Kneel on the gladiator tailgate panel instead of the hard factory liner while unpacking or loading your overland gear.
- Air Mattress Platform: Lay your air mattress flat and level. No more sliding off ridges while you sleep in the backcountry.
- Tailgate Station: Host card games, tailgate parties, or camp gatherings on a flat surface elevated off the ground.

Why a TrailGate Tailgate Cover Beats a Soft Tailgate Pad for Your Gladiator
Most tailgate pads for the Gladiator are soft foam or fabric — they protect your tailgate but don't give you a flat surface. The TrailGate Panel is a rigid 1/8" aluminum gladiator tailgate cover that turns your Gladiator's tailgate into a usable utility surface. It's not just a tailgate cover — it's a camp table insert, a workspace, and a tailgate station all in one. Perfect for overland gladiator builds and gladiator bed accessories setups.
Frequently Asked Questions — Gladiator Tailgate Panel
What is a tailgate panel used for in a Jeep Gladiator?
A tailgate panel (like the TrailGate) transforms your Gladiator's uneven tailgate into a flat, utility-ready surface. Use it as a camp table for meal prep, a solid project workspace for gear builds, a knee-saver for comfortable tailgating, a flat platform for an air mattress, or a stable surface for drinks and gear at the campsite.
Does the TrailGate tailgate cover fit the 2020+ Gladiator?
Yes. The TrailGate tailgate panel fits the 2020+ 1st Gen Jeep Gladiator. Each model requires a specific gladiator tailgate insert for a proper OEM fit — there is no universal fit. Select your exact model year when ordering to ensure proper fitment.
Is the TrailGate tailgate panel slippery when wet?
Yes — the smooth aluminum surface can be slippery when wet. We recommend using non-slip mats or pads underneath items placed on the panel, especially for drink containers and gear that shouldn't slide. Many owners use a simple silicone mat or truck bed liner cut to size to add grip.
Can I add cup holders to the TrailGate tailgate panel?
Yes — the TrailGate tailgate panel includes two deep marine-grade cup holders as an optional upgrade. Adding the cup holder option requires drilling two 3.5" holes into the factory plastic tailgate liner. This is a clean, permanent upgrade that many owners love for morning coffee at camp or cold drinks at the tailgate.
Is the TrailGate tailgate panel rust-proof?
Yes. The panel is made from 1/8" aluminum with a rust-proof textured powdercoat finish. It won't corrode, won't bend like plastic, and will maintain its appearance through years of outdoor use, rain, mud, and salt exposure.
How do I install the TrailGate panel on my Gladiator?
Installation is truly tool-free. Simply lift the gladiator tailgate cover out of the box and drop it into your tailgate. It sits flush with the edges and requires no screws, bolts, or modifications. Remove it the same way when you need the full tailgate space. If you want the cup holder option, that requires drilling two 3.5" holes — a simple one-time setup.
Where is the TrailGate panel made?
The TrailGate tailgate panel is Made in the USA. Originally manufactured in Texas as an AL Offroad Products brand, production is now under Xtrusion Overland in Wichita, Kansas — the same facility that builds our XTR1 and XTR3 bed racks.
How does the TrailGate Panel fit with Gladiator accessories and roof racks?
The TrailGate tailgate cover is designed to work alongside your Jeep Gladiator accessories — including our gladiator roof rack systems and bed rack crossbars. It sits flush in the tailgate without interfering with crossbar clearance, providing a flat surface for gear while your roof rack handles oversized cargo.
Complete Your Gladiator Basecamp
Take your Gladiator's utility to the next level. Pair the TrailGate Panel with the XTR Offroad Jeep Gladiator Roof Rack. Use the roof rack for your rooftop tent and oversized gear, and use the TrailGate as your flat camp kitchen or project workspace. Together, they conquer every inch of your rig.
