Building an Overland Bed Rack for my Jeep Gladiator!
Hey guys! This past week i have been busy working on my DIY Offroad truck bed rack for my 2020 Jeep Gladiator. This project only cost me around $130, so it is a great DIY option for those of you who are looking to add a bed rack to your Jeep truck or any other truck for that matter.
My main reason for this rack is to mount "overland" accessories, and a Rooftop Tent over the bed. I do not plan to go "full overlander" with this Gladiator Build, but i do plan to incorporate some "adventure" upgrades.
So far, we have added the 2" IRO spacer lift, 37" XATs, Falcon Shocks and stabilizer, Core4x4 front control arms, 7SC bumper, Warn Evo winch, Diamondback cover, Iceco Fridge, and a lot of other great stuff.
I installed a Diamondback HD bed cover not too long ago, and i love it. With the DB cover, it means that i cannot mount a tent directly on top and still open the panels. There are no current vendors making a rack that would work, so i got to work and started building my own rack...
Here are some helpful links:
Bed Rail channel nuts: https://amzn.to/2GBwKeJ (I bought 2 packs and sourced the hardware locally)
Plastic toppers for the cut ends of tubing: https://amzn.to/37FFE6M
1x2 Rectangle tubing: (Get the longer runs locally) https://amzn.to/31gnJRW
3/16" Flat Stock: https://amzn.to/37LAjeg
Superstrut from Homedepot for the side bars.
You could get fancy and use aluminum for certain parts of this job, and it would be lighter, however the price will increase and it might not be as strong.
With this new addition, it is now time to install our new rooftop tent! Im excited for that video since this is all new to me. Ive never installed a tent, nor have i ever slept in one. I really like how this Jeep Gladiator build is coming together, and we still have alot of other upgrades and mods planned for it!
Thank you for watching, and i will see you guys soon!
