The Ultimate Adventure Platform for the Jeep Gladiator

Built for the Jeep Life

Your Jeep Gladiator was born for adventure, but outfitting it for serious overlanding means solving the cargo puzzle. You need a way to carry a rooftop tent, recovery gear, and fuel, but you refuse to accept a flimsy, universal rack that can't handle true off-roading. More importantly, you need a solution that integrates perfectly with your Jeep's existing features, like the Trail Rail system.

The TUWA Pro 4CX Shiprock Rack is the answer. It’s purpose-built for the Gladiator, mounting directly to the factory Trail Rail system for a no-drill, rock-solid installation that enhances your Jeep's legendary capability.

Rock-Solid Stability

When the trail gets tough, the last thing you should worry about is your gear. The Shiprock rack is constructed from heavy-duty carbon steel to create an unshakable platform that's as rugged as the Gladiator itself.

Trail Rail System Integration: Bolts directly to the factory utility rails for a seamless and incredibly strong fit.
Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Provides an 800 lb static load rating, perfect for a rooftop tent and multiple occupants.
Freedom Top Compatible: The rack height and placement are designed to allow removal of your Freedom Top panels without interference.

Versatility for Any Mission

From a weekend camping trip to a month-long expedition, the adjustable and modular design of the Shiprock rack allows you to configure the perfect setup for any adventure.

Three Adjustable Heights: Go low-profile to fit in the garage or raise the rack to 23" to carry bikes, kayaks, and other large gear.
Modular 4CX Ecosystem: Customize your build with a huge range of available mounts for fuel cans, traction boards, tools, and more.
No-Drill Philosophy: Protects the integrity and value of your Gladiator with a 100% reversible installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Do I need the factory Trail Rail System to install this rack?

Yes, this version of the rack is specifically designed to bolt directly to the factory-installed Trail Rail utility system for a simple, no-drill installation. If your Gladiator does not have this system, you would need to have it installed.

+ Can I still remove my hard top or soft top with the rack on?

You can still easily remove the front Freedom Top panels of the hard top. Removing the main rear portion of the hard top or fully retracting a soft top would require removing the rack's main cross-structure, which can be done with a few bolts.

+ Will this fit a Mojave or Rubicon model?

Yes, the bed and Trail Rail system are the same across all Gladiator trims, including Sport, Willys, Mojave, and Rubicon. This rack will fit perfectly on all of them.

+ Can I use this rack with a tonneau cover?

Because the rack mounts to the inside of the bed on the Trail Rail system, it is compatible with most tonneau covers that mount on top of the bed caps, such as many soft roll-up or tri-fold models.

+ How does the added weight affect the Gladiator's handling?

The base rack weighs about 88 lbs. When loading gear, especially heavy items like a rooftop tent, it's important to keep the weight centered and as low as possible. While the Gladiator's suspension is robust, you will notice a higher center of gravity, so we recommend adjusting your driving style accordingly, especially on off-camber trails.

+ What is the main benefit of the adjustable height on a Gladiator?

Adjustability lets you tailor the rack to your adventure. Use the low setting to keep a rooftop tent below the roofline for better aerodynamics on the highway. Use the high setting to carry long items like surfboards or kayaks above the cab, freeing up bed space below.
