Jeep Gladiator Bed Rack - DRIFTR Topper (Add-on)


Description

The Backwoods Adventure Mods DRIFTR Topper is a purpose-built add-on that transforms your Jeep Gladiator Bed Rack into a full elevated roof rack system. Designed specifically for overlanders who need extra clearance above the cab, this topper is the solution for mounting longer, wedge-style rooftop tents that would otherwise conflict with the factory cab height. Built from super strong 1/4" thick aluminum side rails, the DRIFTR Topper is engineered to handle serious loads without compromise.

Whether you're running a rooftop tent, recovery gear, or an awning setup, the DRIFTR Topper gives you a secure, elevated platform rated for 300 lbs dynamic and 700 lbs static load. It ships with a free powder coat finish and integrates seamlessly with a wide range of optional accessories - making it a highly capable and customizable rig upgrade for any Gladiator build.


Key Features

  • Elevated Rack Platform: Adds a full DRIFTR-style roof rack on top of your existing Gladiator Bed Rack, providing critical cab clearance for wedge-style rooftop tents.

  • Load Rating - 300 lbs Dynamic / 700 lbs Static: Handles rooftop tents, gear, and recovery equipment with confidence.

  • 6 Triple Slotted Extrusions Included: Provides maximum mounting flexibility for accessories and gear across the entire rack surface.

  • Free Powder Coat Finish: A premium powder coat is included at no additional charge - no hidden upcharges.
  • Rooftop Tent & Gear Ready: Compatible with rooftop tents, awning mounts, dogbone traction board mounts, and deck panels.

FAQ

Do I need to purchase the Bed Rack separately?

Yes - the DRIFTR Topper is an add-on accessory and requires the Backwoods Adventure Mods Jeep Gladiator Bed Rack to install. It cannot be mounted to a factory bed or a third-party rack. If you don't already have the Backwoods Gladiator Bed Rack, you'll need to add that to your build first.

Why would I need the DRIFTR Topper instead of just the Bed Rack alone?

Without the DRIFTR Topper, the Backwoods Bed Rack sits flush or nearly flush with the Gladiator's cab. If you're running a longer, wedge-style rooftop tent that needs additional clearance to open properly above the cab roofline, the DRIFTR Topper adds that elevated height. It's the ideal solution for serious overlanders running larger tent setups.

What rooftop tents are compatible with the DRIFTR Topper?

The DRIFTR Topper is compatible with most rooftop tents that mount via standard crossbar slots, including wedge-style tents that require cab clearance. With a 46.5" x 57" platform and a 300 lb dynamic load rating, it accommodates a wide range of RTT sizes. We recommend checking your specific tent's mounting footprint and weight against the topper's specs to confirm fitment.

What optional accessories can I add to the DRIFTR Topper?

The DRIFTR Topper is compatible with a range of optional accessories including Awning Mounts, Agency 6 Handles, the Dogbone Traction Board Mount, and Deck Panels. The six triple slotted extrusions across the rack make it easy to mount gear in a variety of configurations.

Is the DRIFTR Topper difficult to install?

Installation is straightforward, and Backwoods Adventure Mods provides a detailed installation and features video to walk you through the process. Customer reviews note that taking your time through the install typically takes around 3-4 hours. Clear instructions and quality hardware are included to make the process as smooth as possible.

Does the DRIFTR Topper come with a warranty?

Yes - it's backed by Backwoods Adventure Mods' Lifetime Warranty. If something isn't right with your topper, they'll make it right. Their customer service team consists of real people who are enthusiasts themselves and stand behind every product they build.
