What a huge improvement with the one large drawer and side cubbies. I might actually consider this now. Thanks for showing this.

It does seem to maximize the space compared to the last version.

Man that seems like a total assembly process to get that thing installed. Would be nice if some things came pre installed.

i totally agree about the soft top. i got rid of mine a year later. the sides stopped staying in and would not stay sealed. complete garbage. i am on the fence about the decked system. i have a hard top for the back now from ARE which is great, but it is a pain to get stuff out of the back.

A camper shell and decked drawer is a great setup. I have to carry a bunch of stuff for work that has to stay dry, and being able to have layers of storage makes things much easier.

My dream setup is a canopy camper with the decked system. Something like the Go Fast Camper. What do you think?

I am considering the decked system. I like the fact you covered some of the issues you had. Not to mention the Easter egg I noticed. My only issue so far is the best way to reclaim the bed depth so I am looking are rack systems. BTW what swing-out tire carrier is that?
@thevarsitydad663410 ай бұрын
Thanks! Only time will tell how I miss the bed depth. The tire swing is nice but it requires the tailgate to be fully closed, which limited what I could haul within the bed anyway. The swing-out is the UltraSwing by Rig'd.

Wish the drawer had slots to install dividers into. If you don't fully pack stuff in there, it'll slide back and forth.

How’s the height compared to the mid level position on the tailgate? Curious if you can haul 4x8 sheets of plywood on the decked system and use the tailgate to support the load beyond the decked system.

Why is the Gladiator drawers the same price as the fullsize 6.5' drawers?

what about blurring that Lic plate?

How wide is it from wheelwell to wheelwell? I wonder if I could stick this in my Cherokee XJ? I'd just delete the sides and plywood the top. 🤔

Are you able to fit suitcases in there if you take the boxes out?
@thevarsitydad6634Ай бұрын
I'm going to say no. The height is just not there. Most of the stuffed backpacks and carry-on luggage I've tried didn't fit. Decked makes a durable backpack that fits perfectly.

Hey. What brand of tire carrier you have? Do you recommend it?
@thevarsitydad6634Ай бұрын
Rig'd Supply - Ultraswing. I highly recommend it. They make 3 sizes and I have the largest. I think the medium size would have been the better fit for the gladiator.
@vertstang12310 ай бұрын
I have mixed feelings about this thing, on one hand it is well thought out and is good for keeping things organized, but on the other it seems like it takes up a lot of room and limits hauling bigger items.

I understand. I was ok retiring the title "a friend with a truck", on moving day. haha
@jowens41609 ай бұрын
Depends on what your needs are. If you need to haul big things, it definitely limits usable bed space. I’m fortunate enough to have 2 trucks, 1 is a Nissan frontier with a hard topper and decked drawers, the other is a dodge 3/4 ton with an open bed. For me both trucks have their place, it just depends on what you need.

What rear bumper and tc are they for gladiator?
@thevarsitydad663410 ай бұрын
The bumper is the Fab Fours Standard Rear Bumper with Rigid LED lights. The tire carrier is an Ultraswing by RIGd Supply.
