Just picked up a used Jeep Gladiator last week for camping trips with my dog and I am totally lost on how to organize the bed. Honestly Im a total newbie when it comes to truck mods and I feel kinda stupid asking but I have no idea where to even start looking. I dont have a huge budget maybe like 500 bucks max to get stuff sorted before I head out to the mountains next month. Are there any simple storage boxes or racks that dont require drilling holes into the bed or anything crazy? Im just looking for something to keep my gear from sliding around everywhere...

To add to the point above: you should really check out a cargo net. I use the Keeper 05021 36 inch x 60 inch Cargo Net and it works perfectly for keeping loose camping gear pinned down against the tailgate. It saves you a ton of cash compared to those pricey boxes and handles uneven loads way better. Since you are just starting out, grab a few bungees and you will be set.

Jumping in here to offer some perspective. Honestly, most of those universal bed storage boxes are not as good as expected for a Gladiator. I had issues with cheap plastic containers cracking in cold weather, and unfortunately, they shift constantly if you dont have a proper anchor system. If you want to keep gear secure without drilling, look into a cargo bar like the Keeper 05063 Ratcheting Cargo Bar. It is a simple tension mechanism that holds everything against the tailgate. Pair that with a Front Runner Wolf Pack Pro for your actual gear. They are durable, stackable, and handle the mountain terrain way better than the generic bins you find at big box stores. You will spend well under your budget and avoid the headache of permanent modifications.

Congrats on the new rig. Honestly, dont sweat the newbie stuff, we all start somewhere. For keeping gear from sliding around on a budget, skip the fancy permanent racks. I usually just grab a couple heavy duty bins from Husky or similar brands at the hardware store. Throw in some simple ratchet straps or a cargo net and your stuff wont budge. Save that extra cash for gas and some good camping gear instead.
