A Seamless Fit with True Fit Technology
Thanks to True Fit Technology, this Jeep Gladiator truck topper ensures a snug, factory-quality fit for your 5 ft bed, enhancing your truck’s aggressive, trail-ready appearance while maintaining aerodynamics on highway drives to your next adventure basecamp.
Backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty

Built to Conquer: OVS Expedition Truck Cap Design & Construction
At PeakGear, we believe your gear should be as tough as the trails you conquer. The OVS Expedition Truck Cap for the 2020-25 Jeep Gladiator is a testament to unparalleled engineering, delivering durability, functionality, and design excellence. Here’s how it’s built to outperform any off-road challenge.
Marine-Grade Stainless Construction
The foundation of the OVS Expedition Truck Cap is its marine-grade stainless steel construction. Unlike traditional aluminum caps, marine-grade stainless steel offers superior resistance to corrosion, rust, and environmental degradation.
Whether you’re navigating salty coastal air, humid forests, or winter road salt, this durable Jeep Gladiator truck cap maintains its structural integrity and sleek appearance for years to come. It’s the ideal material for overlanders who demand longevity and reliability in extreme conditions.
Textured Powder Coat Finish
To further enhance its toughness, the truck cap is coated with a textured black powder finish. This protective layer shields the marine-grade stainless underneath from UV rays, scratches, and abrasions encountered on rocky trails or dense backcountry paths.
The textured finish also delivers a rugged aesthetic that perfectly complements the aggressive look of your Jeep Gladiator.
True Fit Technology
The True Fit Technology is at the core of why this OVS Expedition Truck Cap fits your Gladiator like a factory-installed upgrade.
Engineered with precise CAD measurements and vehicle-specific mounting points, True Fit Technology ensures the topper integrates seamlessly with the bed rails, preventing gaps that can let in dust or water. This feature preserves your truck’s aerodynamics while providing a professional, streamlined appearance.
No-Drill Installation
Unlike many aftermarket caps that require drilling into your bed rails or tailgate, the OVS Expedition Truck Cap features a no-drill installation system. This preserves the structural integrity and resale value of your Jeep Gladiator, allowing for quick and secure installation without compromising your vehicle’s frame.
The innovative clamping system ensures maximum hold, even under heavy trail vibrations and off-road conditions.
Built-In Air Vent
Proper ventilation is critical when storing camping gear, food supplies, or sensitive electronics. The built-in air vent maintains optimal airflow inside the truck cap, reducing condensation and preventing mold or mildew buildup – a common problem with enclosed storage systems used in humid climates.
Waterproof Seals
Engineered with automotive-grade waterproof seals, the OVS Expedition Truck Cap creates an impenetrable barrier against rain, snow, and dust. This weatherproofing ensures that your cargo stays dry and protected, regardless of how intense the storm or river crossing gets on your journey.
Heavy-Duty Latches
Security and durability go hand in hand. The heavy-duty latches are built to withstand continuous use and vibrations from off-road travel, ensuring the truck cap remains tightly closed over rocky trails and uneven terrains. These robust latches provide peace of mind knowing your gear is securely contained.
Solid Hinges
The hinges on the OVS Expedition Truck Cap are engineered for strength and longevity. Made from high-grade materials, they offer smooth operation and maintain alignment even after years of repeated openings and closings under load stress.
DOT Glass
Safety and visibility are key in overlanding. The cap includes DOT-approved glass windows, ensuring compliance with safety standards while providing clear visibility into the bed. This is essential for checking gear status quickly during trail stops or border crossings.
High-Pressure Struts
Accessing your gear shouldn’t be a struggle. The high-pressure struts allow effortless opening and secure holding of the truck cap panels, so you can quickly load or unload equipment without wrestling with heavy lids – even when parked at an angle.
Modular Construction
Every overlander has different needs, and the modular construction of this truck cap lets you customize it to match your expeditions.
Whether you need mounting points for solar panels, interior shelving for organized storage, or integrated lighting systems, its design allows seamless upgrades and personalization.
Integrated Roof Rails
The OVS Expedition Truck Cap comes equipped with built-in roof rails, engineered to accept optional crossbars.
Overland crossbars are available for added functionality. These are ideal for mounting a rooftop tent, awning, or extra cargo racks, expanding your storage options and transforming your Jeep Gladiator into a true off-road camper.
Limited Lifetime Warranty
Finally, the limited lifetime warranty reflects OVS’s commitment to quality. Knowing your investment is backed by a lifetime warranty gives you confidence to push your adventures further, with the assurance that your truck cap is built to endure.
Your Gladiator, Elevated: Real-World Performance of Your OVS Truck Cap
As seasoned overlanders, we know that real-world performance matters far more than specs alone. The OVS Expedition Truck Cap transforms your Jeep Gladiator into a true expedition vehicle, enabling you to push deeper into the wild with confidence.
Whether you’re embarking on a multi-day overland route or setting up basecamp for an off-grid weekend, this cap delivers:
Unmatched Versatility for Every Adventure
The OVS Expedition Truck Cap is more than storage; it’s a versatile platform that enhances your Jeep Gladiator camping setup and daily utility. Here’s how overlanders put it to work:
- Secure Gear Storage: Keep recovery gear, camp kitchen setups, tools, and personal items safe from theft, rain, and trail dust during expeditions.
- Jeep Gladiator Camping Setup Ready: Mount a rooftop tent on the integrated roof rails for quick, elevated sleeping arrangements that keep you off rocky ground and away from critters.
- Extended Expeditions: Its weatherproof, lockable enclosure allows you to carry extra fuel, water, and food storage solutions for longer off-grid adventures.
- Modular Customization: Pair with drawer systems, slide-outs, and fridge/freezer setups inside the bed cap to create a functional camp kitchen or organized gear locker. Drawer systems for overlanding make it easy to keep all your tools and supplies neatly arranged and accessible.
- Seamless Integration with Roof Racks: Combine with your existing Jeep Gladiator roof rack system or add crossbars to carry kayaks, bikes, awnings, or solar panels for true overlanding self-reliance.
- Everyday Utility: Beyond trails, use it for secure daily storage of work tools, photography gear, or outdoor sports equipment while maintaining your Gladiator’s rugged aesthetics.
Built for True Overlanding Demands
From Utah’s red rock deserts to the snow-covered trails of the Alaskan wilderness, overlanders choose the OVS Expedition Truck Cap for its ability to handle:
- Rough Terrain: Heavy-duty construction withstands vibrations and impacts from rough trails and washboard roads.
- Extreme Weather: Marine-grade stainless and powder coating resist rust, corrosion, and UV degradation.
- Fast Camp Setup: Integrated roof rails allow quick deployment of durable rooftop tents and awnings for shade, sleep, and shelter.
Common Real-World Uses
- Off-grid camping setups with rooftop tents
- Secure gear storage for recovery tools and camp kitchens

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is included to seal the Expedition Truck Cap to prevent water and dust ingress?
OVS provides a 3M single bulb seal that is placed around the perimeter on the bed rails and bulkhead to prevent water/dust from coming in. OVS' rear hatch also has a bulb seal that seats on the top of the tailgate in the closed position. In addition, they provide 2 pieces of butyl tape that can be placed at the bulkhead rail where there is a step down from the side plastic bed rail to the bulkhead to help prevent water/dust intrusion.
It is important to note that no truck bed is completely sealed, and some water intrusion may be possible although greatly reduced with the bulb seal. Likely water intrusion is often found around the tailgate perimeter.
-
Does the Expedition Truck Cap come with a crossbar system?
Yes, an Overland Vehicle Systems cross-bar option is available in different widths. Just select the crossbars option above. The cross bars will mount to the included cap rails (the rails that go parallel with the frame rails). The bars have a dynamic weight rating of 325 lbs and a static weight rating of 750 lbs and have a rise of approximately 2” above the cap.

Are the Expedition Truck Cap included roof rails compatible with other aftermarket cross bars?
