I had to measure. Stock and no rack I currently have 9 inches from the top of the jeep to the garage door.

You can always air down the tires before getting in, it may give you an extra 1-2 inches.

I have a compressor so that shouldn't be a problem. But if it comes to that, I'll have the garage re-framed and another section added to the door.

Or I'll just have to keep taking the rack off when done camping or hauling.

I'm near Seattle. The Jamboree we attended was the Silver Valley Jeep Jamboree held in Mullan, Idaho about 6 hours away.

This year the Silver Valley Jeep Jamboree will be June 20 - 22 in Mullan and Wallace Idaho. There is also going to be the Jeepfest in Wallace August 16 - 17 in conjunction with the Huckleberry Festival. It is put on by Dave Smith Jeep the world's largest Jeep dealer. They expect up to 60,000 Jeepers to attend which in a town of 800 people might be a little crowded. I don't think that will have any trail rides just showing new and old Jeeps and Dave Smith trying to sell more Jeeps.

Dear Sweetwater,

It's on! Jeep Gladiator production that is. The very first 2020 Gladiator pickup rolled off the line today at Toledo and it's a beauty -- a Billet Silver Gladiator Rubicon.

The momentous occasion was captured in these photos and videos, so enjoy!

Now starts the countdown to seeing Gladiators arrive at dealers and into owners' hands...

Hey @Krondor, Saw one of your old post today((HERE, post #15)), it appears you must have changed your mind a bit about keeping it stock .

Funny, I posted 8 minutes before you in that very thread. I did say that I was "trying to keep from modifying too much this time round."

 

[Krondor]

@KDB looks like you are doing more toward camping. Got more info/pics?

I still want to get out more, so a fridge might come in handy. So would the platform.



Now ask me how I couldn't stay stock.

Yup, I’m more into camping/overlanding (as much as one can in 2 door). Will be loading all up in three weeks and heading towards Moab for the EJS. Thinking of heading to SW Colorado for a few days then be in Moab on the 17th through Easter Sunday. Went out and took a few more pics of the platform (as best I could installed).

I used this a ton in my JK and didn’t have to do much more than modify the brackets where they bolt to the rear seat belts studs to make it work in the JL. When tail gate is locked everything underneath is secure and I can get a two burner propane stove on one side with all my recovery gear, tools, Viair compressor along with other crap on the other side. All camping gear & ARB 37 fridge can then go on top. I strap all down with ratchet straps when not on pavement but the fridge is strapped down front and rear all the time.

That's an excellent looking box!

Thank you for sharing. I am not sure how far I'm going to go with the camping setup. The wife doesn't seem thrilled with the idea of camping, so my camping may be limited to my summit runs. We will see. I do think a secure setup in the back is a must. The shelf also gives you more ways to secure more gear vertically. For now, I carry a backpack, recovery gear, tank, tools, and a cooler. More of a day adventure setup. lol

I added a RAM mount to the grab bar the other day. Have one on my doorless mirror mounts but a little nervous having the phone mounted there with the doors off.

Can you tell me which Ram part numbers you used for these applications? I really like this! Was it easy to install?
