Jeep Gladiator Bed Transformation: From Wasted Space to Ultimate Utility

Solid video dude! When wrapping the wiring with electrical tape, I found using plastic wiring conduit from lordco was a game changer. Super cheap and easier to access in case you need to change the wiring or fix a problem. Just a thought!

I have the RSI Smartcap and my fridge is in the same location. I use a Rough Country slide as its affordable and nice and smooth. I have Molle panels on the back and driver side. I never thought of airing down the spare to get it in there..no idea why - but now i know what i have to do. I use my Jackery to power the fridge. Jackery is connected to the AC outlet. Nice video as always Casey!

Just back from PNW, wow what a blast! Yeah, I have a molle panel inside my bed too. It has a shovel lashed to it along with a couple of jerry cans and a folding toilet. The molle panels are terrific for things you don't want flying around the bed of the truck. Edit: I didn't know Chef Jon was with you guys at PNW, otherwise he would have got lunch too. Sorry, man!

Stainless bolts will gall and seize and snap every time, that's how she goes. Use never seize.

Running 40”Nittos, what are the actually chances you need a spare? I watch all the videos your not doing anything too crazy in that truck. Why not trust your tires

need help like a psychologist cause these builds are getting crazy.

Maybe build a very low profile deck that slides out about 3 feet.

I always appreciate how innovative you are, Casey.

Honestly I’ve heard great things from guys who don’t carry a spare and only have a very extensive tire repair kit; plugs, patches, glues, valve stems, bead lock bolts, the works essentially. Save you a ton of weight and room

Wow
That's gonna look awesome in the trails 😉

Much better Casey! Well done!

How is the seat delete platform held down? I’m deleting mine ,sooo

Stainless fasteners without any anti seize is a recipe for thread galling.

Looks great Casey, can't wait to see all you Canadian neighbors in Redmond this weekend!

How do you like the Dewalt Ratchet? All my 20V/60V tools are Dewalt, but I really like the Milwaukee M12 series for vehicle projects.

Curious why you didn’t go with the Modcap Cabin instead? That way you would have access to your bed from inside the truck bed. Cost perhaps?

Bolts are chineseum PB (peanut butter) grade. Get you some Grade 6 bolts and nuts from Ace.

It’s coming along. I feel your pain a bit, as a truck bed is so different from a wrangler storage-wise. I went with a bedslide rather than a small fridge slide, but your huuuuuge spare obviously wouldn’t fit (I’m on baby 37’s so my spare still fits underneath). Even then, my Truma 69 fridge is a little tall and I can only 1/2 open the lid. First world problems for sure 😂

Get a heavy duty steel bumper with tire rack to hold the spare. That’s definitely what I would recommend. It will free up all the bed space. 😉👍🏻

Looks like maybe those snapped bolts were zinc maybe and not stainless steel?

why don't you change your back bumper to hold the spare tire?
