5 extras you should retrofit on a used Jeep Gladiator

One of the aspects about the Jeep brand is that it not only sells highly capable vehicles but also dabbles with lifestyle apparel and gear. This is one of the many things that attract people to the brand. Once you have bought your Jeep you can kit it out with just as much equipment as the branded clothing you can buy. Here are five aftermarket accessories you can get for the new Gladiator.

Accessorise

One of the best aspects of Jeep ownership is the ability to completely customise your Jeep to your individual tastes. You can do a full mechanical upgrade with suspension and engine modifications or head in the opposite direction and build a customer overlanding machine. With the Gladiator though many of these options come as standard.

Fret not though as there is a full aftermarket business that is now bringing upgrades and accessories for the new Gladiator and we have found a few of them and listed them below.

Rubber mat set

Protect the interior of your Gladiator from mud and grime with a set of hard-wearing rubber mats that can be removed and power washed.

*Pricing starts at R2550 for a set

Contour canopy

The Jeep Gladiator is a pickup with a load bed that you may want to enclose with a canopy. This all aluminum construction piece will keep all your gear safe and sound.

*Pricing starts at R34 000 for a unit

Load bed rack

This rack attaches to the lip of the bed and can be used as a sturdy base for attaching further brackets or equipment ranging from camping gear to bicycles.

Storage boxes

These hardy clip lock boxes can secure your gear while you tackle the trails and be either held in place with a load bed organizer or left loose and stacked securely in place due to matching dimensions with each box containing different types of gear that can be easily organised.

Securi-lid bed cover

The Jeep Gladiator is sold with a simple folding bed cover which may not be up to owners' expectations when it comes to securing the bed contents. Fitting a retractable aluminum bed cover that can be locked securely will lead to much peace of mind.
