Question:

I have a 21 Jeep Gladiator Mojave with a stock/Mopar tri-fold metal taneau cover and I need a rack system for my bed that will allow me to keep the taneau cover and add the rack. Additionally, I would like a roof probably rain gutter rail system over the cab that would line up with the bed rails. This way I could mount long surf boards and kayaks. What would you recommend that would work?

Expert Reply:

The only ladder rack that we currently carry for a 2021 Jeep Gladiator that would also be compatible with a tonneau cover would be the Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack - Aluminum - Matte Black - 500lbs # A38ZR, which would mount in the stake pockets of your bedrails. This would only work if your Mopar cover sits inside of the bedrails. If your cover sits over the bedrails blocking the stake pockets then you would have to switch to a different tonneau cover to be able to add a ladder rack.

As for attachment points you could use the load stops # A4000880 and tie-downs # A4000882 to secure your surf boards and kayaks to the crossbars of the rack.

For a roof rack on a hard top roof I recommend the 2021 Jeep Gladiator Roof Rack by Rhino Rack which is the

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 59" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA150B-2
RLTP Leg Adapters for Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Track Mount - Qty 4 # RRVA-FK1-2
Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Legs - Gutter Mount - 4-5/16" Tall - Qty 4 # RRRL110S5-2

This system is one of our most popular choices and will mount to the rain gutter of of your Jeep Gladiator. The aerodynamic, aluminum crossbars let you build an aftermarket roof rack for your vehicle. Full-length bars provide plenty of space for carriers and accessories. The Vortex strips in the C-channels reduce wind noise and theft-deterring plastic locks are included.
