When Jeep launched the Gladiator, it wasn’t just another pickup—it was a statement. It’s a truck built for people who drive past the pavement and into the unknown. But while the Gladiator is rugged and capable, finding a topper that truly fits its unique shape and use case? That’s been a challenge—until now.
Enter the FLATED® Air-Topper® CAP, the world’s first inflatable truck topper built specifically for the Jeep Gladiator. It delivers the strength of a hard shell without the weight or hassle. Whether you’re gearing up for overlanding, road trips, winter commuting, or weekend camping, this topper turns your Gladiator into a fully protected, adventure-ready rig.
Why Gladiator Owners Need a Purpose-Built Topper
Let’s be real — Jeep didn’t build the Gladiator to be just another mid-size pickup. This is Jeep’s first real truck since the Comanche, and people didn’t buy it because they wanted a crossover. Installing something heavy and permanent like a traditional shell isn’t your only option. The Gladiator is for people who bought it because they wanted a truck bed they could actually use. Sometimes that means loading gear, hauling toys, or camping under the stars. Other times it means keeping your stuff dry on the way to work. But one thing is certain:
Generic sizing doesn’t work for a unique truck. Wide gaps, rattling, or water leaks happen.
The Air-Topper® CAP fixes all of that. It’s shaped specifically for the Gladiator, aligns with cab height for a clean, aerodynamic look, and installs in minutes—all without tools or drilling.
What Makes the Air-Topper® CAP Different?
This isn’t just another camper shell. It’s patent-protected inflatable tech built from drop-stitch material, the same durable fabric used in whitewater rafts and premium SUP boards.

Hard-Shell Strength Without the Bulk
A traditional fiberglass topper weighs 150–200 lbs. That’s like bolting a refrigerator to your truck bed. Once it’s on, it’s staying there.
