Jeep Gladiator Overland Bed Rack (2020-2026)
Description
The Backwoods Adventure Mods Jeep Gladiator Overland Bed Rack is the ultimate hauling platform for 2020-2026 Gladiator owners who refuse to compromise on utility or build quality. Built entirely from aluminum and finished with a free black powder coat, this modular bed rack is engineered to carry rooftop tents, mountain bikes, kayaks, and any other overland gear you can throw at it. The fully bolt-on design means no cutting, no welding, and a clean, professional installation you can tackle on your own.
What sets this rack apart is its deep compatibility with Backwoods' own DRIFTR ecosystem - the optional DRIFTR Topper add-on transforms the bed rack into a continuous, perfectly flat platform when paired with a DRIFTR roof rack, stretching from the front to the back of the truck. Four modular side accessory rails and top C-channel crossbars give you both the lateral strength and the infinite mounting flexibility that serious overlanders demand. This is a rack built by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts.
Key Features
- All-Aluminum Construction: Lightweight yet rugged full aluminum build keeps weight down without sacrificing strength or durability.
- 100% Bolt-On Assembly: No cutting or welding required - installs cleanly with standard tools for a one-man installation.
- Free Black Powder Coat: Included at no extra charge - a $200 value - for a durable, weather-resistant finish right out of the box.
- Lifetime Warranty: Backwoods stands behind every rack with a lifetime warranty - if it's not right, they'll make it right.
- 4 Modular Side Accessory Rails: Comes standard with four side rails for mounting awnings, bike mounts, grab handles, and more.
- C-Channel Crossbars: Top C-channel crossbars add significant lateral strength for heavy loads like rooftop tents and cargo boxes.
- DRIFTR Topper Compatible: Optional DRIFTR Topper add-on includes triple slotted 1x3 aluminum extrusions, 0.25" aluminum side panels, and Agency 6 Grab Handle cutouts - creating a flat platform from cab to tailgate when paired with a DRIFTR roof rack.
- Weight - 45 lbs: Base rack weight without optional topper; 85 lbs with the DRIFTR Topper installed.
- Fits 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator (JT): Designed specifically for the Gladiator platform - OEM or aftermarket bed rails required prior to install.
- Rooftop Tent, Bike, and Kayak Ready: Versatile mounting platform supports a wide range of overland and adventure accessories.

FAQ
Do I need bed rails to install this bed rack?
Yes - OEM Jeep Gladiator bed rails or compatible aftermarket bed rails are required prior to installation. The rack mounts to these rails, so make sure your truck has them in place before ordering.
Is the DRIFTR Topper included with the bed rack?
No, the DRIFTR Topper is an optional add-on sold separately. The product photos do show the topper installed, but the base bed rack price does not include it. You can add the DRIFTR Topper to your order separately if you want the expanded platform and triple slotted extrusion system.
Can I install this bed rack by myself?
Yes - this is a 100% bolt-on design engineered for one-man installation. No cutting, drilling, or welding is required. Backwoods also provides a detailed Installation and Features Video to walk you through the process step by step.
Will this rack fit a Jeep Gladiator with a retractable bed cover?
Backwoods offers compatible Bed Rack Mounts for Retractable Bed Covers as a separate accessory. If you have a retractable tonneau cover, pick up that add-on to ensure proper fitment and clearance.
What accessories can I add to this bed rack?
The rack is designed to be highly modular. Optional add-ons include an Aluminum Storage Box, Bike Mounts, Awning Mounts, a Dogbone Traction Board Mount, and the DRIFTR Topper. The four included side accessory rails also allow for a wide range of third-party mounting options.
