Best utility accessories for a new Jeep Gladiator Mojave owner?

Question

What are the absolute best utility accessories you guys would recommend for a new Gladiator Mojave owner that actually wants to use the bed? I just upgraded from my old 2012 JK that I had for over a decade so I know my way around the Jeep world but having a truck bed is totally throwing me for a loop. I just picked up a 2024 Mojave in Gobi and I'm planning to take it out to the dunes near Yuma in about three weeks so I'm on a bit of a time crunch. I'm looking for stuff that wont just rattle around when I'm hitting the washboards because the Fox shocks on this thing really encourage you to go fast and I dont want my gear flying out the back lol. Budget is around 2k for now.

Should I go with a spray-in liner first or just get a bed rug? And what about those Molle panels for the sides? I need a way to secure my recovery gear and a CO2 tank without it looking like a mess. Also looking for some solid grab handles since the ones in the Mojave are okay but feel a bit flimsy compared to my old steel ones. I saw some guys talking about a bed rack but I dont want to add too much weight and ruin the high-speed suspension tuning. Any specific brands that fit the desert runner vibe?...

Hey congrats on the Gobi Mojave! Honestly those Fox 2.5 Internal Bypass shocks are incredible for the dunes. To keep the budget tight but gear secure, I'm super satisfied with the Line-X Premium Spray-On Bedliner UV Resistant since it handles desert heat better than a rug and wont trap sand in the fibers. For the bed sides, the BuiltRight Industries Bedside Rack Systems 4-Piece Kit Gladiator JT is 1/8 inch CNC cut steel and solid as a rock. Zero rattles even at 50mph over washboards. Here is what I am running:

Power Tank Speed Mount for 10lb Tank Aluminum for the CO2

GPCA GP-Grip PRO Jeep Grab Handles Aluminum/Nylon for the interior Seriously no complaints with this setup. These keep weight low so you dont mess up that desert-tuned suspension. TL;DR: Spray-in liner first, then BuiltRight molle panels. Keeps things light and organized for cheap.

> I dont want my gear flying out the back lol. Are you running a hard top or going topless in Yuma? I once watched a buddy lose a recovery bag because his tie-downs couldnt handle the Mojave rebound. It gets real rowdy back there. Be careful with heavy racks... i would suggest the Mopar Trail Rail Management System Gladiator JT instead. It keeps weight low and lets you bolt gear down solid.
