Jeep Gladiator Roof Rack Install - Rebel Off-Road Halo 2.0
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2019
- Having some extra storage and a place to mount some off-road lights is going to be extremely helpful. In this video, I visit my friends at Rebel Off-road and they install their new Halo 2.0 roof rack on my Jeep Gladiator. I'll talk you through the steps, show you how we wired it and answer a few common questions I get about roof racks.

When you talked about can it fit in my garage. It reminded of a hilarious story about a buddy of mine that installed a lift kit and body lift along with some 37s in his garage. After it was all said and done, it was stuck in the garage because it was to tall to get out the garage door now LOL. Ended up finding someone that has smaller tires on rims to get it out, never gonna forget that one.
LOL! We did that once during a garage party, but thankfully just letting the air out of the tires allowed us to squeeze the Jeep out.
You are so good and detailed when describing installs, Brad. Much appreciated.
Was about to post the same thing, Brad is great
Thank you!
Paul Browning agreed . Killer reviews
Another great vid Brad!
I’m loving the workmanship and craftsmanship of the rack. Welds were super impressive. Good to see clean beads and no spatter which seems to be common issues on some racks.
Great Brad! Work in progress and waiting already for the next.😍👍
Loving this thing man! So a REALLY dope one the other day with 40's. Keep up the awesome work!
Very nice set up. Glad to hear there is clearance to take off the freedom panels. Safe Travels and God Bless!
I wasn't a fan of the gladiator, but now all the stuff you have done to it I'm wanting one !!
Man the gladiator is turning out great! Amazing build
That rack looks awesome on the Gladiator, nice upgrade!
Trail Recon is the best! Keep up the great work producing exciting, and entertaining video! Aloha, D & S from the Big Island of Hawaii.
Man , after subbing to your channel for the last few weeks you've sold me on a Jeep , definitely gonna be my next purchase once my truck is paid off
robert d great idea mate, what one will you get?
You rock Brad! Thanks for the wind noise answer!
That’s a very clean install and a great video Brad
Awesome video. Even though I have a Gladiator Rubicon, I live vicariously through your videos because I live in South Florida and we don't have mountains and trails like you have. We do have a lot of mud and deep water (which I no longer enjoy playing in) and some forest trails but for now my Gladiator is my daily driver. Hopefully I'll get to make good use of my Gladiator on some future vacations to N. Carolina or out west! I'll be keeping an eye on your Gladiator upgrades for the future!
The rack looks very sturdy and with those lights it looks even better. Thanks for the video. Now go and do a 4 day off-road and camp adventure 😃
Love your channel and content 👍🏼🤙🏼
Dam mate that is so sick, can’t wait to get them in Australia
Looks good I like the sleek look fits well an goes with the rest of the theme an look 👍👍👍👍 as always be safe
Wow what a nice professional install!
That Rebel Off Road Jeep is very nice! Saw it at the Daytona Jeep Beach 2019. Well designed add ons !!
Awesome man! She coming along really nicely!! Enjoying your build. 😁👍🏼
Thank you! More build videos on the way soon.
That’s how you setup a Gladiator. Quite a few videos on YT where the build has tires sticking half-way outside the fender & cartoonish 42s for show. This rig is functional & can still operate as a DD. Nice job 👍🏻
Very jealous with all the overlanding and trails you guys have out there but we have had our Jeep for three years now and now I’m truly hooked with Jeeps lol. Going today to hopefully get our new addition to the Jeep family and it’s a Gladiator 🤙🏼. Keep up the great work on informing and how to do videos with your Jeep and keep making them camping videos as well. #TrailRecon
Another professional video!! Very informative and addresses anticipated questions. Subscriber for life....thank you Brad. To quote a line from Top Gun...."Daymn, this guy's good!"
Top Gun rules!!! Thank you again, really appreciate it!
Was really waiting for ur new vid. Keep them coming 👍
Thanks! More on the way.
great video Brad great information
Looks great. Love your channel. Hope to see you down in Australia sometime. I live close to Ronny in Wa.
Looks so good 👍
I used to align their vehicles back in the day when they were located in foothill ranch... that was like 2004ish... man time flies... lol...
Nice looking rack. Love all the features tied into it for lights, flags, antennas.
Now I just need to figure out my comms setup with the Gladiator so I can utilize one of the mounts.
Looks great Brad. Can't wait for some more trail videos. See you at Jeep Bash.
Thank! I can't wait for Jeep Bash, one of my favorite local events of the year.
Hi, watching your channel from the UK. Very jealous of the great terrain you have access to wilderness. Really enjoy your content. When watching your roof rack assembly I immediately thought that for your application a great addition would be to use marine deck glands to bring cables through your bodywork or roof. These can be plain glands for cables or with an integrated plug, and of course they’re water proof.
Cheers John
Nice Lance, very cool!
Had the chance to meet you in Big Bear earlier today. Jeep looks great!
More 2 door videos PLEASEEEEE. I'm about to get my 2020 2 door wrangler and I can't decide what modification to do first!
Love it looks great can't wait to see it in uses in a video.
I'll be putting it through its paces out on the trail soon!
Awesome video
Like always awesome video!!!
Thank you!
Looks Rad Brad!
Nice work!!
Sleek design very functional !I love the look of it ..if I had to nitpick about one little thing ..I would’ve used stainless steel button head bolts instead of the cad plated hex bolts holding it to the Thule foot . Kudos.
Looks great Brad !! 👍
Thank you!
seeing your JT at the KC event was pretty cool, I feel like I m cheating on the exam LOL I know what comin next hahahahaaa ! Looks awesome man! see ya at Jeep Bash ! have a safe travels.
The event last weekend was a ton of fun... can't wait for Jeep Bash. See you there!
Awesome upgrades! Hope you’re feeling better!
Thank you! Just need to shake this cough.
TrailRecon highly recommend the Swiss Ricola throat lozenges that do help with a cough too
Did you see Hard Line Land co channel? 42’s on a Gladiator! Plus a lot more!!!, awesome!!!
Great video thank you!
looking good
Awesome brad
Very nice!
Hi this is Alan again I love that roof rack with the lights I would love to put that on my Jeep Rubicon Gladiator 2020
I like it 👍
Nice grid on the rack. So many lights and exposed, mounted to the highest point and not protected. Take care even if the rack are not loaded.
Great video as always Brad.. Any idea where the first true semi long or long trip in the gladiator will be after the build
Thank you! We'll be announcing some big trips at the end of this year.
Great video as always, this may be the first mod that I have seen that had the hardtop drilled. I'm planning to mount a set of Thule racks on my gladiator (primary to carry my surf rods). My plans are to mount the Thule tracks in the same area, did the installer need to use longer screws for this job? Can you show the interior washer and nuts? Keep up the great videos!
Nice one. Like the rack 🤟😎
Great looking addition to the Rig looks might fine Brad. Question any more updates to the WJ project as well? Keep up the good work!
Thanks! No major updates to the WJ, we are planning our upgrade attack.
I really like how this Gladiator is coming along. I'm gonna go down and test drive one. By the way, where did you move to from Poway? Love your stuff Brad, thanks for your work on bringing us great info.
Thank you! I'm still in the San Diego area. Good luck on your test drive... it's a bit of a drive, but Redlands Jeep, in Redlands, CA are great folks to work with.
Drilling holes... Soooo scary haha 😨 nice looking gladiator through
It gets easier after the first hole!
The nice part is that with the gladiator or wrangler you can replace it.
I’m convinced there are people being paid to just go around and dislike videos...I mean, what could you possibly dislike from this video? Some people just want to watch the world burn haha, great video work Brad.
Neat. Looks goods.
Very nice
Awesome rack.
Will this work with the bestop sunrider for hardtop and let the sunrider open
A silly question, why don't you use Anderson Plugs to connect the wiring on the roof.
Cheers Dennis
A-freakin-mazin!
Man!! Looks good...Oh and you have a garage NO you need a shop for your toys....Fun times...
LOL! I could use a shop with very tall doors for sure!
Brad, do you know what round lights they have on their A pillar? And what mounts they use??
I’m going to guess these work well in fog/smoke since they use the same principles as the streamlight survivor led light with their pointing back reflector and having a more even light spread?
Do you have a link to where you got the connectors for the lightbar?
Late to the party this time around Brad but that rack sure changes the look of the rig. I like the way this is turning out but don’t forget about the JK! Oh, retired yet??
What did you use as a releasable connector to allow for removal of the hardtop?
come to Montana you wont be disappointed!
I’d like to use that rack on my 2-door JK. I have wanted a rack that mounts to the back half of my hard top, but allows me to still take off the front freedom panels. How long are the mounting strip/tracks that get screwed to the roof. I don’t see on their website where they put that length.
I wish KC would be more reasonable on the price with the pro 6. I would love one, and will probably still buy one, but dang it's over priced imo. Looks better than than any other light bar I've seen.
Great install and gear! However I am hesitant to instant a roof rack for an overland Gladiator, when I already have all that space behind with the flat bed! Is it really necessary to add cargo space and have that extra weight?
I'll be using every bit of my cargo next year when my son and I head off on some long trips. This rack will be very useful.
Just wondering how noisy it is with the freedom panels removed, and the roof rack and light bar in place?
Where did you get the weather pack connectors ?
Not sure if this fitting is as secure as the Rhino rack that you had ?
Great video as always, Brad. Nice upgrade! I always get a little nervous when I see the drill come out, but who was it who said, "to modify your jeep, you have to modify your jeep" ? Was that you too? I forget now. 😂 Hey BTW, was your JT subject to the driveshaft recall? Just curious. Looking forward to the next one. Keep 'em coming!! All the Best!!
Drilling a new vehicle is admittley not my favorite thing to do, but a necessary part of upgrading. No, my JT wasn't part of the recall. Thanks!
Do you think, since you’ve drilled your top for an aftermarket rack, that you have voided your factory warranty?
I like that rack. But I like how the one on your JK has braces that bolt onto the body
The one on my JK is mean to support a roof top tent and heavier loads for sure.
What headliners do you use?
How do they mount three Jerry can too the window?
Does the roof rack come with the lights or is it separate
Curious why this wasn't installed on any of your other jeeps ?
What can I do for my two door JL I’m dying
Hi from Canada, so 8 small bolts (1/4 ") on the rail to the roof is enough for holding the big rack? just saying , but still a nice rack
It's pretty solid as it sits.
How much weight will it handle on the cantilevered part out front?
Id say begin your loading from the back moving forward what way the backspan is loaded first. Wouldn't want any significant uplift on the back side of the rack if we have the load placed over the cantilevered end. Opinions from a structural engineer
@10:30 It looks like it is already starting to lift the back of the rail system off the top just under the weight of the basket alone.
And imagine dropping off a ledge while 4 Wheeling with stuff up there,
how expensive are these upgrades? Do you pay full price or do you get a discount?
How does he only have 220k subscribers. Great videos, very informative, educational, entertaining, and relatable.
Hi Brad. Your videos have me really eyeballing the Gladiator. My problem is my height and I have no headroom. Is there someone that makes a hardtop with extra head room for Jeeps? Thanks
I know there was a company making a Safari style top for the JK a couple years ago that had a higher roof line, but I haven't seen anything like that for the JT or JL.
@@TrailRecon thanks for the feedback. I might pull the trigger on one anyway. Happy day
Can you put the rack on your factory roll cage on the Jeep jl?
Yes, they have a mounting option for that!
Remember when brad use to do his own mods...😢
LOL! I still do most of my own work in the garage, but sometimes it's nice to focus on the filming aspect of a project so I can give you guys the best perspective of how things come together.
Just giving you a hard time.
THATS SHOWBIZ BAYBEY
Hi my name is Alan I live in the West San Fernando Valley I have a 20/20 Rubicon Gladiator Laguna is a little bit far do you recommend any place closer to me also is there a way I can get a detailed list of upgrading my vehicle I love your show I'm addicted to it I've just had my Gladiator for about a month and a half I'm 65 years old but I'm willing to go for it and I like the idea of doing one thing at a time so it's less out of pocket all at once thank you so much for your show.
Sorry, I don't know of any shops I would recommend in your area.
@@TrailRecon Rebel Offroad company out in Laguna how many hours did it take to put that roof rack and lights together. I guess Laguna is only about an hour away from where I live so that's not too bad I could drop it off and hang out.
anyone make a bed rack for the gladiator that allows the roof top tent to be removed so you can carry dirt bikes when not using RTT?
Hi Brad. A neat job👌👍. In my country the extra mods like snorkel, fog lamps, roof lights, off road bumpers, guards etc are illegal. What are the rules in your country, please.
anil panta I’m in the same boat mate, where do you live?
@@Whiteandsonsgarage India, HP
7:57 why put the wire over the basket? It would seem to be more protected underneath.
I'm guessing it hides it a little since you are mostly going to see the underlying of the rack from the ground.
But I agree, un top its more likely to get damaged or nicked with the load you throw up there.
Great point, I think rerouting it underneath is a better solution.
I'm surprised there is no way to route the wire through the steel tube. That would keep the wire protected and keep it clean look
JustNobodyButME great idea! And to run the wire through the tube you can drill your holes and use a vacuum to suck a pull string through so you can pull your wire 👍
love from pakistan🇵🇰
Curious what your gas mileage will be with the new lift and tires.
mpg test coming soon!
Second comment, but great content💜💜
Can't contain the green eyed monster...😱🗯👽
Looks great in person, the only thing that doesnt sell me is that you cant use the rack or lights with the roof off.
3.2.1.adventure yeah definitely, and that’s one of the best things about a Jeep
