- 5-piece modular design: Ships and assembles in sections for easier handling and install.
- No-drill clamping system: Clamps to the bed rails with no drilling needed to mount the cap.

Fitment notes (from OVS)
- Made for the 2020-2027 Jeep Gladiator 5 ft bed.
- No 3rd brake light is included: the Gladiator uses its factory tailgate-mounted 3rd brake light.
- Accessories that interfere with the installation must be removed before installing.
- "No-drill" refers to the clamps on the bed rails; see the OVS instructions for your truck.
- No truck bed is fully waterproof. The seals greatly reduce water and dust, but some water may still get in, most often around the tailgate.
- The cap cannot be opened or locked from inside the bed.

Which Jeep Gladiator bed sizes does this truck cap fit?
It fits 2020-2027 Jeep Gladiator trucks with the 5 ft bed, the bed every Gladiator comes with.
Will it fit my Gladiator Rubicon, Mojave or other trim?
OVS lists fitment by year and bed length and does not call out individual Gladiator trims. If your Jeep has any bed-mounted accessories, contact us with your trim before ordering so we can confirm with OVS.
What is the difference between the PRO and PRO+?
The PRO has solid steel wing doors with no side windows. The PRO+ has windowed wing doors (tempered glass with a sliding side window) and a built-in MOLLE panel; because of that panel, OVS's add-on door and side-frame MOLLE panels do not fit the PRO+. Everything else is shared: front and rear glass windows, construction, finish, latches, rear security cage, roof rails and seals. On this truck the PRO+ is $500 more at regular price, and currently $360 more at sale prices.
Do I have to drill my Gladiator to install it?
No drilling is needed to mount the cap; it clamps to the bed rails. The Gladiator version does not include a 3rd brake light, because the Gladiator already has a factory 3rd brake light on the tailgate. Follow the OVS installation instructions for your truck.
How long does installation take?
OVS rates the install at 1-2 hours. The cap is a 5-piece modular design that assembles on the truck.
Does it work with a tonneau cover or bed rail accessories?
OVS does not list tonneau cover or bed rail accessory compatibility. The cap clamps directly to the bed rails, and OVS says any accessories that interfere with the installation must be removed first. If you are unsure about a specific accessory, contact us before ordering.
How does the truck cap ship?
It is a large freight item that ships direct from Overland Vehicle Systems. The current lead time is shown with each model option.
OVS does not publish a formal packing list. Based on OVS's product information, the cap comes with:
- Expedition truck cap (5-piece modular shell) for the Gladiator 5 ft bed
- No-drill bed rail clamps
- Integrated roof rails (19 mm T-slot)
- 3M single-bulb seal for the bed rails and bulkhead
- Rear hatch bulb seal
- 2 pieces of butyl tape for the bulkhead step-down
- Rear window security cage
- Keyed-alike locking latches
No 3rd brake light: the Gladiator version does not include one, because the Gladiator already has a factory 3rd brake light on the tailgate.
Sold separately: crossbars, add-on MOLLE panels (these do not fit the PRO+, which has a built-in MOLLE panel) and LED lighting kits.
