Lost Canyon Truck Bed Rack - Half Height Rack for 20-26 Jeep Gladiator JT

I was looking for a rack that would work with a tonneau cover and didn't care for the look of the billie bars so I was thrilled to find this rack. I guess there must be different OEM Gladiator tonneau covers, because this does NOT work with the 2020 Launch Edition cover. The bracket for the tonneau cover prevents this rack from seating tightly on the top bed rail and must be removed to hook into the track on the side of the bed.
The hardware for the bedrails I replaced with some T slot nuts I purchased for some quick fist clamps as the included hardware is so small. I ended up using the track inserts that came with the rack for the quick fists since they can be inserted anywhere along the rack. Much easier to add and remove clamps without having to undo every tnut and slide them the length of the track.

Tactik tonneau cover is on order, I just wish I could have used my existing one, but it is also too wide to fit between the rack when assembled.

Despite those disappointments this is still a 5 star rack, assembly was intuitive and the rack itself is solid. Hopefully lost canyon will sell risers separately, I needed the half size rack to have a roof top tent fit in the garage, but would love to get a full height rack to carry kayaks on. Or I could just park outside. First world problems!

TL;DR: Buy the rack and tweak it as you see fit, it's a beast

The Lost Canyon bed rack is rock solid and clearly built for durability. Installation was straightforward and hassle-free, with well-designed hardware and clear fitment that made the process easy.

I paired it with a Tactik tonneau cover, and the setup works perfectly together with no fitment issues. What really stands out is the number of mounting points—there’s plenty of flexibility for mounting all kinds of storage and accessories like recovery gear, Rotopax, traction boards, and other overland equipment.

Everything feels secure with no rattling or flex, even when loaded down. If you’re looking for a sturdy, easy-to-install bed rack that plays well with a tonneau cover and offers serious mounting versatility, this is a solid choic

Love the full height rack. However a couple of issues. 1st one of the six uprights were pinched. The flat support cross member was pushed up al ost a half inch. Had to use a 2x4 and hammered it back down close as straight I could get it. 2nd there was 2 spots on 2 different uprights that are scratched down to bare steel. The powder coating is gone. And last but not least do not loose any of the hardware. There are no extra washers, lock nuts or screws in the hardware provided by the company. A couple of spares would’ve been nice. Especially on a rack that’s over $1000. Just sayin. Install took me appx 2 hours doing it solo in the driveway on a sunny but cold December day. I will say the rack seems very sturdy. I’ve had no noises or play coming from the rack. It’s solid. And if you have a spray in bed liner make sure you have a 6mm x 1.0 tap to clean the mounting holes on the side of the bed. And try to mounting bolts in each hole before ever trying to set the base plates on the bed of the gladiator. I used 2 quick clamps to hold the bases in place while installing the uprights, 3 per side. Worked great if doing it solo. And one thing this rack has I’ve not seen on others are the grab handles. This are awesome especially if you have a lifted gladiator and you have 50 yr old knees of a former soldier. Nice touch to have that little detail when jumping up on the tailgate or jumping back down.
