The Battle of the Bolt-ons

- WORDS AND PHOTOS BY CHRIS HAMILTON

If you've got a Jeep Gladiator, congrats! You've got one of the most versatile rigs on the road. But let's be honest, straight off the lot, it still needs a little help in the style and function department. The last issue of TREAD focused on setting the perfect stance and adding a killer set of wheels and tires. In this tech article, we're diving into a couple of key bolt-ons to get this 2020 Gladiator looking sharper and working harder. First up, we're tossing on a set of Dominator D6 running boards from Go Rhino. These steps don't just look tough; they're wide, flat, and ready to take a beating, perfect for helping you climb in and out without scuffing up your rockers or busting a shin on the way out. Out back, we're locking things down with a TruXedo Sentry CT tonneau cover. This bed cover has a low-profile look that sits flush and sleek, but don't let the clean lines fool you. It has a tough aluminum core wrapped in industrial-grade fabric, ready to keep gear secure and dry. Whether you're hauling tools or camping gear, this cover's got you covered, literally.
