Your Cart is Empty
The Jeep Gladiator was built to go places most trucks can't. Open sky, top off, doors out, deep in the desert or the mountains — it's purpose-built for exactly the kind of riding you're doing. You've already made the right call on the truck. Now let's talk about hauling the bike.
The Gladiator Bed Is Short. Use It Right.
The Gladiator's 5-foot bed is one of the most capable short beds on the market, but it fills up fast. A cooler, a tool bag, camp gear, recovery equipment — by the time you're packed for an overland mission, there isn't much room left. A full tailgate pad doesn't just cover your gate — it commits your entire tailgate to one purpose and gets in the way of everything else.
The Bomber Strap Single MTB Pad uses one corner of your tailgate. The rest of your bed stays open for the mission.
The Backup Camera Problem
The Gladiator's backup camera sits directly in the tailgate handle — the same place it lives on virtually every modern truck. A full tailgate pad covers it completely. At a busy trailhead or tight desert two-track, reversing blind is a real problem.
The Bomber Strap sits at the bike contact point only. Your camera stays completely clear. Every time you reverse — at the trailhead, at camp, on the trail — you have full visibility.
The Hitch Stays Clear
Gladiator owners use their hitch. Recovery straps, bike racks for shuttles, trailers, jerrycan mounts — the hitch on a Gladiator is active gear, not decoration. A hitch-mounted bike rack ends that conversation every time the bike is loaded.
The Bomber Strap keeps your hitch 100% open and accessible. Bike on the gate, hitch ready for whatever the mission requires.
Built for the Same Conditions You're Riding
These Gladiator shots weren't taken in a parking lot. This is the Mojave, the high desert, the kind of terrain that destroys cheap gear fast. The Bomber Strap is built from ballistic nylon with anodized aluminum hardware and military-spec stitching. It doesn't fade, flatten, or fail in the field.
The magnetic fidlock buckles work with gloves on. The fork strap locks your front end in precise position over washboard roads and rocky approaches. The handlebar strap controls rotation so your bars don't spin on the drive in.
Off in 60 Seconds
When you get to the trailhead, the whole system unclips in under a minute and stows in the cab. No pad sitting on your tailgate getting stolen while you ride. No dirt collecting against your paint. Your Gladiator looks exactly the way it should — clean, capable, and ready for whatever comes next.
The Gladiator is already the right truck for this. The Bomber Strap is the right setup for the bike.
