Jeep just put together the mountain biking enthusiast’s dream off-roading truck. It’s called the Jeep Gladiator Top Dog Concept, and it essentially takes a huge number of off-the-shelf Jeep Performance Parts (JPP) and slaps them on a single Gladiator in pursuit of a mountain biking theme.
The big area of change is the bed. Jeep removed the standard bed in favor of a custom PCOR flatbed storage system. It’s loaded to the brim with features. The driver’s side features a battery-powered refrigerator and electric hot dog roller grille (because apparently there’s nothing bikers love more than a good dog after a hard day of riding?). The passenger side has pull-out drawers, lighting switches, and extra power supplies.
Now, about the bikes. There are two rack structures on the roof and any additional equipment a mountain biker may need, but the bike capacity maxes out at two. Jeep didn't indicate whether a forklift comes with the package, but you may want to invest in one if you intend to mount the bikes up there. You may also want to be mindful of low bridges. Jeep does specify that one of the drawers in the storage system has a foldable ladder that gives you access to the roof.
This concept has several modifications in typical Jeep fashion to help you get further off the beaten path to begin your riding. The list of parts include a JPP 2-inch lift kit, Fox shocks, 17-inch JPP Beadlock-capable wheels, 37-inch BFGoodrich mud-terrain tires, steel fender flares for more clearance, a JPP snorkel intake, winches front and back, and JPP off-road LED A-pillar lights. Additional body armor includes JPP rock rails and a steel front bumper (inspired by the Jeep J6’s grille guard).
The exterior is painted in “K-9 Blue,” and the color theme is continued with the interior trim. Lastly, it adds Mopar stainless steel pedal covers with black rubber pads for grip.
Our question to you is would you buy this Jeep Gladiator if it was produced?
