  • The Gladdy Board is a cheap Gladiator mod to make your Jeep life easier. This is a must have Jeep Gladiator mod especially if you have a tonneau bed cover. I love that Jeep gave us the ability to do this mod if we want to! What do you think of the Gladdy Board?

    What a great idea. I got mine a little bit bigger in a 2x6 but works just the same. Thanks for sharing the mod. Love it.

      Except for weight, a 2x6 is even better! I almost went that way too🤔

    This is a great idea - as a NEW Gladiator (or any type of truck) owner, I was curious about what I could do to stabilize smaller stuff... this works perfect! I used a 2x6 and it’s exactly what I was looking for!
    Great channel, BTW!

    How lucky are you to have your mom around and also her be interested in modifying Trucks and cars. It’s so cool, make me wish mine were alive today They could be doing the same with me when I purchased this 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD sport. Anyhow it’s a helpful mod for anyone Rob and for the video and Koodo to your mom for helping.

    did the same thing for my old Chevy 2500HD. had a long bed, 8 feet. I had a much taller piece so the top of the board was almost level with the top of the wheel well. It helped support really large loads.. I hauled an old VW Beetle body in the bed of that truck, it had no fenders.

    Try stapling or glueing some of the foam sealer that is frequently used to seal tonneau covers... that will tighten it-so no rattles and it won’t scratch... ohh-I just saw the felt.. that works

    I never in a million years thought I would do this but even with Line-X spray everything I put in the back of the truck ends up all the way at the front end of the bed, and with the Tonneau cover I gotta crawl in and get it. I often haul 5 gallon water bottles and they always end up towards the back.

    Have you considered doing a Raptor bed-liner application? Would look good you can get it in colors. Get at least 2 vids, one on prep and one on application.

    • @robmotiveplus
      @robmotiveplus  3 роки тому

      I've seen the colored type in the past. They do look pretty good. However, with the cover and mat, I don't think it would be of any benefit to me.

      I carry a lot of things in the back of the Tacoma the poly bed doesn’t really get scratches that can lead to rust, and for a cleaner look. The metal bed you’ll benefit from a covering for me. You mentioned that if you want to use the truck to haul you use your Tacoma, so less of an issue for you. On the other hand you have a couple of videos for around $200 in materials. You can sit things on the tailgate and not worry about scratching it.

    • @robmotiveplus

      True. But with the Tacoma it’s not really a concern for me 👍

    Rob, don't know if you know about this, but I just saw this on UA-cam today. You didn't mention this, but your mod touched on it a little. Jeep has a clever deal where you add (3) 2x4's and setting the tail gate to the mid position to create a level platform which allows you to carry 4x8' ply wood boards in the bed. Pretty clever.
