Chris’s Gladiator, Organized Around the Bed

Chris’s silver 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon was equipped for daily driving and adventures with his family. The photographed build brings an AAL Load-Bearing Enclosure, bed storage, and exterior mounting surfaces together around the truck’s rear cargo area.

The gallery records installation and equipped configurations. It shows how the enclosure opens, how the slide and drawers extend, and how equipment is carried above the bed. The parts list below preserves the documented setup.

Chris’s Gladiator with its equipped bed enclosure and upper storage.

Enclose the Bed and Keep Rear Access

The Load-Bearing Enclosure covers the upper bed area while retaining an opening panel at the rear. The installation photos show the enclosure both closed and raised, with the drawers and fridge equipment beneath it.

The LBE requires AAL’s Bed Rail Attachment System. Review the current bundle contents and instructions before choosing the rack, MOLLE panels, or other accessories you want to add.

The rear enclosure open, with the lower cargo equipment visible through the tailgate opening.

The sliding cargo equipment extended over the tailgate in a photographed configuration.

Extend the Equipment Over the Tailgate

The recorded bed equipment includes an AAL 6-inch storage drawer and fridge slide. The photos show trays extending toward the open tailgate, bringing the cargo into reach.

The original parts list also identifies SetPower RV45D mounting brackets and ROAM cases. Confirm the fridge dimensions, bracket compatibility, slide travel, and ventilation clearance for your own arrangement. Keep space for lids, handles, and drawers to open together.

Plan the Equipment Above the Enclosure

The documented upper setup includes AAL’s 12-inch bed rack, a bed-rack basket, and a NATO jerry-can mount. Later gallery views show bagged equipment carried above the enclosure and MOLLE mounting surfaces along the sides.

The basket was listed as an upcoming component when the original page was written. Treat it as part of this build’s photo record and ask about current availability rather than assuming that historical listing is an orderable kit.

Choose mounts for the equipment you actually carry and check the applicable rack and vehicle limits for the loaded setup.
