Approach and departure angles are vital in off-roading.The factory configuration of The Jeep Gladiator is great for some applications but when it comes to rock crawling The factory Jeep Gladiator Bed overhangs The back of The Jeep and often drags on many obstacles.
Since The release of The Jeep Gladiator 2020 model in 2019, owners have cut and bobbed The factory bed to improve departure angle. Cutting The factory bed is not a weekend project to do on The driveway.Often times it requires an Offroad professional body shop to shorten The factory Gladiator bed and, even with The factory bed bobbed There are durability issues with The tail lights and thin sheet metal
Motobilt has designed and manufactured The world's first production full replacement bobbed bed kit for The Jeep Gladiator. The bed is constructed of aluminum, eliminating The need for additional body armor.The Motobilt bobbed bed is The body armor for The Jeep Gladiator.
We tucked The tail lights in to prevent Them from being broken when you get into big rocks or trees. The Motobilt Bobbed Bed Conversion for The Jeep Gladiator comes with just about everything you need to make The swap at your home.Basic hand tools can perform The Motobilt Bobbed Bed Conversion.Below you will find a list of what is included in The kit as well as features and benefits.
Kit includes: main bed sides, floor panel, bulkhead and tailgate; each laser cut, formed and welded from heavy duty 3/16 Inch aluminum plate for maximum strength to weight ratio. The inner fenders are fabricated from 11ga aluminum plate to provide additional gusseting and support adding to The overall strength.
The bed was designed to take a beating when off-roading.We have also provided mounting points for those wanting to build custom roll bars on The fender tops. The fenders anre constructed from laser cut 3/16 Inch aluminum while The bumper is constructed from laser cut 3/16 Inch thick steel plate for ultimate durability.
Features‚ The kit is packed with features for both functionality and form. Building a functional product sometimes lacks in form but we wanted to ensure The bobbed bed kit both worked well and looked great. The top bed rail features a slotted bolt hole pattern to allow for many options to be bolted to it easily.
For instance, our cargo baskets will bolt on.You can also directly bolt on lighting for off-roading or The campsite. The steel corners are formed up and over to provide strength for side impacts while adding a stylish bed rail.
The tailgate holds your license plate and folds down. The kit includes flush latches, hinges, cables and rubber bumpers. The tail lights are recessed into The corners for extra protection. We include round pop-in style tail lights with reverse lights.
Additionally, including in The kit are provisions to mount Max-Bilt or Offroad Only surface mount LED tail lights. The tail light mount also provides a place to mount additional lighting of your choice.
We recommend using The Baja Designs Squadron cubes. Both The tail light and accessory lighting are trimmed with aluminum bolt-on rings. To ensure ultimate strength for side loads on The bed we have fabricated bed supports and a full length cross member to take all of The flex out of The bed structure.
The stock Gladiator frame is trimmed approximately 14-5/8 Inch and The total savings in length is approx 18 inches versus The factory bumper and factory bed.
The kit ships to you disassembled and in raw aluminum form.You will need to paint The steel bumper and oTher hardware and assemble The bed. You can eiTher assemble it and Then have it painted or you can have The parts painted individually and Then assembly.
We chose to assemble ours completely and Then paint to reduce The chance of scratching The fresh paint when installing The new bed. We highly recommend The assemble and Then paint method.
The Best Part:
The cost of The bed kit is less than what most reputable body shops would charge to cut down The factory bed.With that said, we put our factory Gladiator bed for sale on social media and sold it in less than 30 minutes for $4000.
