Since the release of the Jeep Gladiator 2020 model in 2019, owners have cut and bobbed the factory bed to improve departure angle. Cutting the factory bed is not a weekend project to do on the driveway.  Often it requires an Offroad professional body shop to shorten the factory Gladiator bed and, even with the factory bed bobbed there are durability issues with the taillights and thin sheet metal. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMotobilt has designed and manufactured the world’s first production full replacement bobbed bed kit for the Jeep Gladiator. The bed is constructed of heavy-duty steel, eliminating the need for additional body armor.  The Motobilt bobbed bed is the body armor for the Jeep Gladiator.  We tucked the taillights in to prevent them from being broken when you get into big rocks or trees. The Motobilt Bobbed Bed Conversion for the Jeep Gladiator comes with just about everything you need to make the swap at your home.  Basic hand tools can perform the Motobilt Bobbed Bed Conversion.  Below you will find a list of what is included in the kit as well as features and benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKit includes: main bed sides, floor panel, bulkhead, and tailgate; each laser cut, formed and welded from heavy duty 3\/16” steel plate for maximum strength. The inner fenders are fabricated from 11ga steel plate to provide additional gusseting and support adding to the overall strength.  The bed was designed to take a beating when off-roading.  We have also provided mounting points for those wanting to build custom roll bars on the fender tops. The fenders and bumper are also constructed from laser cut 3\/16” thick steel plate for ultimate durability. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures… the kit is packed with features for both functionality and form. Building a functional product sometimes lacks in form but we wanted to ensure the bobbed bed kit both worked well and looked great. The top bed rail features a slotted bolt hole pattern to allow for many options to be bolted to it easily. For instance, our cargo baskets will bolt on.  You can also directly bolt on lighting for off-roading or the campsite. The steel corners are formed up and over to provide strength for side impacts while adding a stylish bed rail. The tailgate holds your license plate and folds down. The kit includes flush latches, hinges, cables, and rubber bumpers. The taillights are recessed into the corners for extra protection. We include round pop-in style taillights with reverse lights. Additionally, including in the kit are provisions to mount Max-Bilt or Offroad Only surface mount LED taillights. The taillight mount also provides a place to mount additional lighting of your choice. We recommend using the Baja Designs Squadron cubes. Both the taillight and accessory lighting are trimmed with aluminum bolt-on rings. To ensure ultimate strength for side loads on the bed we have fabricated bed supports and a full-length cross member to take all of the flex out of the bed structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe stock Gladiator frame is trimmed approximately 14-5\/8” and the total savings in length is approx. 18 inches versus the factory bumper and factory bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit ships to you disassembled and in raw steel form.  You will need to paint and assemble the bed during the install process.  You can either assemble it and then have it painted or you can have the parts painted individually and then assembly.  We chose to assemble ours completely and then paint to reduce the chance of scratching the fresh paint when installing the new bed. We highly recommend the assemble and then paint method. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s Included:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\t\u003cp\u003eComplete Motobilt Bobbed Bed Kit for Gladiator\u003cbr\u003e\n\tTailgate Kit including latches, lanyards, hinges and aluminum license plate trim bezel\u003cbr\u003e\n\tTail Light Mount Kit with aluminum trim bezels\u003cbr\u003e\n\tRound LED pop in tail lights\u003cbr\u003e\n\tResistors for factory non-LED tail lights\u003cbr\u003e\n\t3\/4” LED Side Marker Lights for those who need them\u003cbr\u003e\n\tOff-road Only License Plate Lights \/ Third Brake Light\u003cbr\u003e\n\tRelocation Parts for factory fuel filler neck\u003cbr\u003e\n\tRoll Bar Plates for inner fenders\u003cbr\u003e\n\tBed Stiffeners\u003cbr\u003e\n\tFront Cargo Tie Down Points\u003cbr\u003e\n\tBacking Plate for front Motobilt logo cutout\u003cbr\u003e\n\tRear Bumper with sensor provisions and backup camera mount\u003cbr\u003e\n\tRear Bumper Frame Mounts\u003cbr\u003e\n\tRear Fenders\u003cbr\u003e\n\tBlock Off Plate for Gladiators not equipped with 120v bed plug\u003cbr\u003e\n\tAll Hardware needed for assembly and install\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\t\u003cp\u003eBolt-on Installation (no welding required)\u003cbr\u003e\n\t18” shorter overall (including bumper) than factory\u003cbr\u003e\n\tDrastically increased departure angle\u003cbr\u003e\n\tHeavy duty steel construction\u003cbr\u003e\n\tFold down tailgate with automotive grade cables\u003cbr\u003e\n\tRattle free adjustment latches with integrated rubber bumpers\u003cbr\u003e\n\tRecessed LED taillights with reverse lights included\u003cbr\u003e\n\tMount for rear facing accessory lights\u003cbr\u003e\n\tRecessed License Plate \u003cbr\u003e\n\tRear Camera Mount\u003cbr\u003e\n\tUses factory fuel filler neck and cap.  No emissions concerns as the fuel system is not modified.\u003cbr\u003e\n\tAluminum trim bezels around taillights and license plate for a custom look\u003cbr\u003e\n\tRear Bed Stiffeners with tie down points \u003cbr\u003e\n\tForward tie down points to secure your cargo\u003cbr\u003e\n\tIntegrated Slots along top bed rail to bolt on accessories\u003cbr\u003e\n\tLarger wheel openings for large diameter tires\u003cbr\u003e\n\tHeavy duty bolt on fenders\u003cbr\u003e\n\tHeavy duty bolt on rear bumper\u003cbr\u003e\n\tRear bumper integrates rear parking sensors\u003cbr\u003e\n\tMounting plates for those wanting to fabricate a roll bar or headache rack\u003cbr\u003e\n\tBolt on zip tie tabs to help arrange wiring\u003cbr\u003e\n\t19.5 cu ft of storage space under the bed rails\u003cbr\u003e\n\tComplete assembly \/ install instructions \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\t\u003cp\u003eWeight (Bed) 420 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\n\tWeight (Fenders) 35 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\n\tWeight (Bumper and mounting brackets) 70 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\n\tDimensions (Bed Exterior) 48.3” L x 64.5” W x 16.6” H\u003cbr\u003e\n\tDimensions (Bed Interior) = 45.6” L x 40.6” W x 14.9” H\u003cbr\u003e\n\tCargo Capacity 19.5 cu ft\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE:  This is a permanent modification to your vehicle.  The factory frame will be shortened.  Check your local laws \u0026amp; insurance company before making modifications.  This system is NOT compatible with optional factory taillight blind spot sensors.  You can turn off the rear taillight blind spot features using a programmable Tazer.  The rear bumper is compatible with the factory rear park assist sensors.  This kit does NOT provide any provisions for towing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Motobilt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46582479847601,"sku":"MB1178","price":5299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0631\/9004\/0753\/files\/fmbxaahmxo0d1ofd1g5b.jpg?v=1768188289","url":"https:\/\/wp4x4.com\/products\/motobilt-bobbed-replacement-bed-kit-bare","provider":"WP4x4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
