GPCA™ Jeep Gladiator JT Accessories Guide

This guide shows which GPCA™ gear fits your Jeep Gladiator JT by model year and top. From 2024, the Gladiator has side-curtain airbags in the roll bar, so it takes different grab handles, and its narrow bed needs different tie-down bolts than the Wrangler.

Airbags and the 2024+ roll bar

Starting with the 2024 model year, the Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT have side-curtain airbags in the roll bar. The 2024+ bars have no fabric padding: a plastic cover sits on the inside (the airbag deployment side), with roll-bar metal on the outside. That is why the GP-Grip PRO, LITE and Universal do not fit 2024+ bars in any use. The GP-Grip AIR is built for them: its straps loop on D-rings mounted with the Jeep factory screws and lie on the outside of the bar, clear of the airbag.

On the 2024+ Gladiator, the rear seats use the factory bolt-on handles, so you only need the AIR 2-Pack for the front, not the 4-Pack.

Install

GP-Grip AIR (2024+): about 5 minutes per handle, Torx screwdriver required

  1. Remove the top (Freedom) panels for easy access. With a medium-length Torx bit you can install with the panels on.
  2. Loop the straps through the handle and the D-rings.
  3. Mount the top 2 D-rings with the Jeep factory screws.
  4. Wrap the straps around the outside of the roll bar.
  5. Fasten the bottom 2 screws.
  6. Adjust strap length if needed, then press the strap Velcro firmly onto the handle so it holds tight.

GP-Grip PRO (through 2023): 1–2 minutes, no tools

The PRO straps onto the roll bar with industrial Velcro straps. No drilling and nothing bolted into the vehicle.

Anchor PRO and GP-Star bolts

Remove the factory hardtop bolt and thread in the GPCA™ bolt (M8-1.25 × 25 mm), rubber washer first. Hand-tighten until snug, 158 in-lb; snug it like a bike seat post, don't crank it.

Gladiator questions

Which GPCA™ products work on a 2024+ Jeep Gladiator?

The GP-Grip AIR 2-Pack for the 2 front positions (the rear uses the factory handles), the Back-Grip headrest handles for rear passengers, and the GP-Star bolts in the bed. No GPCA™ cargo cover fits the Gladiator.

Do the Gladiator Freedom Panels use the GP-Star bolts?

No. Freedom Panels use latches, not these bolts. The GP-Star replaces the M8 bolts in the bed and the tight top bolts.
