Are you looking to add more storage space to your Jeep Gladiator? We got a great
solution for you today. Check it out!
Hey everybody! Its Bubba with Exodus... something... I don't know. We've got to change
our name. We'll get back to that later. And we build badass Jeeps. Today I got a
customer's Gladiator, here, that we just installed a Leitner... Bueller so it's
Leitner. Why can't I say that word? because if you were to spell E-I, I'm pretty sure
you don't needs an S to paralyze those words! like A, RO-ADS right? L-Eight
Ner... are you going to the mall later, that's what I'm asking is it? Or should there
be a GH in there? Did I catch a niner in there?
Maybe it's LEET-Ner. I'm gonna go with Leitner. I like it. It sounds better to
me. Leitner Designs rack system, storage
system, on the bed. What's really cool about this is that it offers a ton more
secured storage to the Jeep Gladiator. It's really important to this customer
because he works on the oil fields of West Texas. He's got tons of tools and
tons of gear that he has to keep in the truck and he ran out of room inside the
cab, so he wants to add something to the bed. You don't want to make it look dorky
with a bunch of big boxes in the back of it, so he went with the Leitner Designs
Rack System. What's really cool about this is it's it's very modular. There's a
lot of different components that you can add to it. Now as you can see, he chose to
go with the big boxes on each side and these are 40 gallon storage capacity. You
can also get some smaller pods that, I want to say, they're about yay big and
originally he had wanted to do that, but a shipping mix-up. We ended up with a
bunch of big boxes, so we went and put them on each side. It was serendipity! We
really liked it more. The customer likes it more, so cool! We're gonna go with that.
The other thing that he wanted was a Roto Packs mount which they sell and we ended
up not installing on it, but it went about right here. And we had a two gallon
water and a two gallon gasoline tank Pack mounted on here with the locks for
the Roto Pack mounts, so it's really secure. Since we didn't end up with the
smaller pods, we couldn't do that. You can't do that! So instead, what we're gonna do is, just like
this Max Tracks setup that's on here, we're gonna order in these mounts and we'll
mount those Roto Packs on the inside. Still gonna get his storage. It's gonna
be very clean, but it won't be on the outside. It would be on the inside here.
As you can see, he did opt to go with these Max Tracks. If for some reason he
can't get this Rubicon on 37's out of a situation, you know there is a lot of
loose sand out in West Texas, he's got these guys to help him out. So we will
also be adding in a Baja Designs 30 inch amber bar right here. We got a 40 inch
amber bar in the front. Reason that's important to this guy is when you're
running around out in the dust, all you California guys know what I'm
talking about, it gets really hard to see. So we're gonna be adding those amber
lights on there so that when he's driving around and that dust he can flip
them on so others can see him. We'll be putting that in right here. It'll be
below the upper line right here. If he wants to add pretty much anything to the
top up there, you know, ladders, a rooftop tent, something like... I don't see him
putting a rooftop tent for what he does, but maybe a ladder up there. He could
get it tied down and won't interfere with anything. So, and then, as you can see, he's
still got all your bed space underneath here for all your big stuff. You know,
your fluids and stuff like that that he'll be carrying around for his job.
A really cool system. I really like it. Very, very well built. Very simple to
install. I will note that the one thing we ran into, not knowing because this is the
first time we've ever installed it, was you do have to have the Mopar Rail System
installed in on the bed. He didn't have that, so we had to add that to the to the
setup. It really offers you a lot of great opportunities to add different
stuff to the Gladiator and still make it look nice. All right, well that
pretty much covers it for this build. To see more Gladiator-related videos, go up
