Mine has been holding up well and keeping water out. I do want to note that if you pry up on the back a little, you can slip a hook in and unlock it. Had to do it at the beach after accidentally locking the keys in the bed.
The Armis cover looks almost identical to my Undercover Ultra Flex. Got a bed-cover for pretty much he same reasons you did: Weather protection and keeping things out-of-sight, AND, got a hard-cover vs. a soft-cover that could be easily cut. As for the 2 drainage tubes, I didn't drill any holes in the front bulkhead's plastic "grommets" for the tubes to exit the bed -- there were already 2 open holes near to the front tie-downs(D-rings) so I used those. Wouldn't recommend Undercover though (QC issues). At some point in the future, may upgrade to a Renegade cover, but for now this one will do. -- BR (2021 Gladiator Rubicon)
Undercover is the OEM for the Rugged Ridge hard tri-fold. The RR packaging has a generic instruction sheet inside with a phone number for Undercover, heh.
It's nothing special. I have a wide ATV ramp that I walk the bikes up with. It's a quad-fold, so it fits in the bed of the Gladiator with the bikes. These days I mostly use my Black Widow hitch carrier.
Noticed it looks like you have a soft top too? Can you use this with the soft top installed? I've noticed that some like the Bakflip are not recommended.
Had a tri fold on a Tacoma, never again. you lose 1/3 your space for loads that are large and higher than bed sides. But they are all trade offs, on what your use is.
how tall of a box can you put once cover is installed . in other words what is the measurement from highest part of bed to lowest part of the cover in the center?
How heavy is the cover to lift out? Will a lady be able to lift it out, or is it too heavy? I just bought a jeep gladiator texas trail and I'd like to know which is best for a lady to install herself as well as be able to remove it.
The cover weighs around 60 pounds. It's a little big and awkward to remove from a lifted Gladiator, but you do get used to it. If you are concerned about weight and think you will be pulling the cover on and off often, I would look at a soft roll style cover. They are much lighter. The only drawback is they don't offer as much security as the hard fold covers.

We need a video of how you load those dirt bikes in the bed.

Amazing
any reason why you choose this brand vs mopar?
I had not seen the Mopar one in person. This one I got a chance to check out before I got it. I was happy with what I saw, so made the move on it.
Cool thanks for sharing

I never had an issue using the soft top with this bed cover. I typically run my hard top these days however.

What ever the Bed height is with a Cover bit a cap makes it taller
Can you use your cover and bed rail at the same time, or is it one or the other? I would really like a cover bed/bed rail combo.
My AA products bed rack will not work this cover. I’ve seen a few bar setups that will work with covers, so I know they are out there.
I have a 2Dr Rubicon so it won’t fit my Jeep…😉
Well, this is very true. However, if you trade it in on a Gladiator, you'll be ready.
@@DrivingLine Lol, watch all your videos for knowledge purposes! Now I know about Gladiator bed covers!
