What's In The Bed Of Your Gladiator?

It's not really in the bed, more like on the bed. I mounted a bed rack a couple of months ago and have been buying and fabricating different brackets to mount all my accessories. I have it pretty well equipped and still have the whole bed for other stuff.

Currently in the bed of mine:

One (1) SS step stool so wife can get in and out of JT.

One (1) Freedom Tops bag WITH Freedom Tops inside.

Two (2) DeWalt boxes, one (1) containing tool kit to work on JT and one (1) containing various work tools.

One (1) job tool bucket with current job hand tools in it.

Various leaves, dust, dirt, bug carcasses.
 
So my Gladiator is actually my first truck and my first 4x4, so I'm using it!

First off, I'm running a Rough Country hard bed cover. Its great. Super easy to install and uninstall if I need to.

Hauling my "trail day" gear, including tools and recovery equipment, extra radios, camp seats, etc.
 
I think the Decked system is a great idea but definitely eliminates options. I've used my JT for many projects that the Decked system just wouldn't have worked for.
Agreed.

I feel like 1/3 of the bed is dead space with the decked. I’ll contihue to use it until I figure out something else.
We travel a lot to go wheeling and carry a lot of stuff with us and space is at a premium.

I was wanting decked but decided to go with totes for all the tools and lock them in the bed of the truck. Haven’t had a problem yet.
