Hi everyone, Aidan with etrailer here. And today on our 2023 Jeep Gladiator, we've got a Kuat Ibex truck bed rack installed. This is a really versatile rack for camping and overlanding, but we're gonna be showing you how to install two accessories. That's gonna be your crossbar riser kit and a front MOLLE panel that come together in just a single kit. Let's check it out. Starting off with the crossbar riser kit.

That's gonna basically take your crossbars and rather than having them level with the Ibex, it's gonna bring them up up to 4 1/2 inches taller. We've got it in the tallest position right now, so we are adding that extra 4 1/2 inches and it's more than enough to give us cab clearance for longer items say like a kayak or if we wanted to use this like a ladder rack and haul some lumber around with it to pick up for house projects, it would do that too. It's gonna installed mainly from these two blocks right here, the back one that will install to the Ibex and this front one which joins the crossbar to that bracket and offers you the height settings. Three in total so we've got it in the highest one here, middle one, and the lowest would be mounted up here. And since the crossbar that come on your Ibex are telescoping to adapt to different widths, we can just reuse them and expand them out to give us a little bit of overhang with this new crossbar riser set up.

And in my opinion, it makes it look a lot nicer with that bit of overhang. Now you'll notice that the MOLLE panel is tapered around the window here, so if you've got that sliding section on your Jeep, you can still use that function and pass something through here or reach through if you needed to. It's nice also that it's gonna help with visibility. Because of the extra visibility though, the actual usable space in the MOLLE panel will be quite small, so better suited for maybe some small pouches or first aid kits and maybe even some small tool mounts. Just like the crossbar risers, it's going to channel mount into existing channels on your Ibex, so it's a no drill installation.

But if you're wondering what that install process looks like, just follow along and we'll show you how we did it. It's not too bad overall, maybe tight clearances in the MOLLE panel sitting so close to your cab. And if you're a larger person like me, you might find that working around the Jeep bed here is just a little bit cramped at times, but it's really not too bad and you can get it installed pretty quickly. So follow along and we'll do it together. We're gonna start off with the front MOLLE panel.

It's gonna be in two halves and each half will have either a set of holes or some really long slots. And we're basically just gonna nest these two pieces together and we'll just do that on the tailgate here. The section with the large slotted holes is the thing that will be set on top. And your hardware is gonna consist of these longer screws with a flat washer. I'm gonna pass those from the bottom up through the top here and very carefully set this down. And on the other side, we'll have a flat washer and a lock nut. And that'll just get repeated for the other three mounting holes. Leave these pretty loose for now. And I'll probably go back through and tighten this up a little bit using the included wrench and Allen key on the other side, but leave it loose enough that I can still slide it back and forth and adjust this by hand. I just don't want it to be so loose like that. On each edge of the MOLLE panel, there's gonna be two mounting tabs. Ignore the bottom one for now. The top hole will get a shorter Allen screw with a flat washer going from the inside out and a T-nut with that small lip of the T facing in. This will eventually mount up into a channel and we need this done on both sides, leaving it pretty loose for now. On the front most upright of our Ibex, we'll find another channel that we can slide our bottom T-nut into. Gravity's gonna do the work for you and just let it sit at the bottom. We're gonna then take the assembled kit and line up that top block with the channel there. Mine's twisted right now, so I'm just gonna see if I can get the other side lined up first. It's a really snug fit it, but if you can get one side started, we should be able to get the
