The Jeep Gladiator is the brand’s return to the pickup game—marrying the legendary Wrangler’s rugged, open-air vibe with the utility of a compact truck. Built to crush trails all weekend and then cruise the streets Monday morning, the Gladiator boasts serious off-road capability, removable roof panels and doors for that classic Jeep freedom, plus all the modern tech and comfort you need.
With so much potential right out of the gate and a huge aftermarket support, finding the best accessories for Jeep Gladiator is not that hard at all. Here are our picks for the best Jeep Gladiator mods under $500. Each one delivers real-world improvement—whether you’re carving trails, hauling gear, or just flexing on city streets.
1. Tazer Mini Programmer – $329
Modern Jeep electronics are great, but they sometimes need a little help recognizing aftermarket parts. The Tazer Mini Programmer plugs into your OBD-II port and unlocks over 50 additional tuning features, from recalibrating your Gladiator for larger tires and different gear ratios to modifying electronic functions like TPMS thresholds and transfer-case settings. You can even enable custom lighting “shows,” disable auto start/stop, and tweak your auto gearbox’s shift logic for smoother driving.
2. AA Products APX2503 Bed Rack – $304.90
Storage is king when you’re camping or hauling stuff around. The AA Products APX2503 Bed Rack gives you a low-profile, aluminum cargo rack that clamps into the Gladiator’s bed, with no drilling required. It supports up to 300 lb on pavement and an off-road rating of 180 lb, so you can carry bikes, skis, rooftop tents, or lumber.
3. Barricade Adventure HD Front Bumper – $472.99
A proper heavy-duty front bumper adds style, protection, and recovery capability in one shot. The Barricade Adventure HD Front Bumper slides right onto 2020–2025 Gladiator JT frames and delivers aggressive off-road looks plus functionality.

It’s textured black powder coat resists scratches, rocks, and rust. With its integrated winch plate (rated for a 12,000 lb winch), auxiliary light mounts, high-strength D-ring mounts, and billet steel grille guard hoop, it’s built to take a beating and equip you for serious recovery ops.
4. Lock’er Down Center Console Safe – $369
Hitting a trail with the doors and panels removed for that ultimate open-air off-roading vibe? You’ll need protection for your valuables inside the cabin. The Lock’er Down Center Console Safe fits neatly in your Gladiator’s factory console and keeps valuables locked up tight. Constructed from heavy-gauge cold-rolled steel with a drill-resistant 4-digit combo lock, it bolts in using the factory console bolt holes—installation takes about 10 minutes.
5. RedRock 1.5" Leveling Kit – $94.99
The factory rake comes in handy when you’re towing heavy stuff, but leveling out that nose-down stance boosts the look, gives you a bit more ground clearance, and discloses more room for fitting larger tires. The RedRock 1.5" Leveling Kit corrects the rake on 2020–2025 Gladiator JTs by raising the front with durable polyurethane coil spacers. RedRock’s kit are made out of graphite-impregnated materials, so they resist cracking and sagging in the long-term. You’ll eliminate the rake, fit up to 33" tires, and look more balanced without breaking the bank.
