Description
Protect your Jeep Gladiator from the rear bumper to the bedsides with the Rebel Off Road Summit Series Steel Rear Bumper & Bedside Slider Step Package. Designed specifically for the Jeep Gladiator JT, this complete rear armor system combines our heavy-duty Summit Series Rear Bumper with frame-mounted Bedside Slider Steps for protection, recovery capability, and easier access to your truck bed and overland gear.
Our bumper and step sliders are laser cut and press-brake formed from 3/16" thick USA steel and designed to work together as an integrated rear protection package. The bumper provides heavy-duty recovery points, corner steps, lighting provisions, and factory hitch compatibility, while the bedside sliders extend protection forward beneath the Gladiator's vulnerable rear bedsides.
This package includes both the Summit Series Steel Rear Bumper and Summit Series Bedside Slider Steps, giving you the complete rear armor system in one convenient package.
Complete Rear Protection for the Jeep Gladiator JT
The Gladiator's long bedsides create additional vulnerable areas that aren't protected by a traditional rear bumper alone. The Summit Series Rear Bumper & Bedside Slider Step Package extends protection beyond the rear of the truck and forward beneath the bedsides.
Together, the bumper and sliders create a coordinated armor system designed for Gladiators that see technical trails, overland travel, camping, and everyday use.

Summit Series Steel Rear Bumper
At the center of the system is the Rebel Off Road Summit Series Steel Rear Bumper, engineered specifically around the Jeep Gladiator JT.
Laser cut and press-brake formed from 3/16" thick USA steel, the bumper provides substantial rear protection while incorporating the recovery, lighting, towing, and access features needed for a trail-driven Gladiator.
Each bumper is fully welded and sanded before receiving Rebel Off Road's multi-stage textured black powder-coated finish.
1" Heavy-Duty Recovery Points
Integrated 1" thick machined steel recovery shackle tabs provide strong and easily accessible rear recovery points for properly rated shackles and recovery equipment. Whether you're recovering your own Gladiator or assisting another vehicle on the trail, the Summit provides dedicated recovery locations incorporated directly into the rear bumper system.
Integrated Surefoot Corner Steps
The Summit Series Rear Bumper incorporates Surefoot utility steps at each rear corner, giving you convenient access to equipment stored in or above your Gladiator's bed.
Suregrip tread plates provide additional traction underfoot, making the steps especially useful on lifted Gladiators or trucks equipped with bed racks, rooftop tents, storage systems, and other overland equipment.
Frame-Mounted Bedside Slider Protection
The included Summit Series Bedside Slider Steps extend protection forward from the rear bumper beneath the Gladiator's bedsides.
Unlike lightweight steps that rely on body mounting points, the Summit Slider Steps mount directly to the Gladiator's frame using existing factory holes, creating a heavy-duty foundation for both protection and everyday use.
This provides valuable protection beneath an area of the Gladiator that is especially vulnerable when navigating rocks, ledges, trees, and tight trails.
Built-In Bed Access Steps
The Bedside Slider Steps do more than protect your truck. Their integrated step platforms provide convenient access to the Gladiator's bed and equipment mounted above it.
They're especially useful for reaching:
- Rooftop tents
- Bed rack accessories
- Storage cases
- Traction boards
- Recovery equipment
- RotopaX fuel and water containers
- Awnings and camp equipment
- Cargo stored toward the center of the bed
Ideal for Bed Rack & Overland Builds
For Gladiators equipped with a bed rack or overland system, the combination of rear corner steps and bedside slider steps gives you multiple access points around the back of the truck.
Instead of standing on a tire or climbing onto the bumper, use the integrated steps to reach rooftop tents, awnings, storage cases, recovery gear, and other equipment mounted above the bed.
Suregrip Tread Plates
Both the rear bumper and Bedside Slider Steps incorporate Suregrip tread plates to provide additional traction when accessing your cargo and equipment.
The added grip makes the step surfaces more useful in dirt, mud, rain, snow, and other conditions commonly encountered on the trail or at camp.
Retains Your Factory Tow Hitch & Trailer Plug
Upgrading your Gladiator's rear armor doesn't mean giving up the factory towing equipment you already use.
The Summit Series Rear Bumper is designed to work with the factory Jeep Gladiator tow hitch and trailer wiring plug, allowing you to retain factory towing connections while upgrading your rear protection.
Factory Parking Sensor Compatible
The Summit Series Rear Bumper includes provisions for the Gladiator's factory park-assist and backup sensors.
Sensor mounting brackets are included for properly equipped Gladiators, allowing the factory sensors to be transferred into the Summit bumper.
For Gladiators without factory rear parking sensors, sensor hole plugs are included for a clean finished appearance.
Integrated Recessed Auxiliary Light Mounts
Recessed rear light locations accommodate many popular 2" x 2" cube-style LED lights, giving you a clean location for additional reverse, trail, or campsite lighting.
Positioning the lights within the bumper maintains a clean profile while helping protect them from trail hazards compared with exposed external brackets.
LED License Plate Lights Included
Integrated LED license plate lights are included with the Summit Series Rear Bumper for a clean and complete installation.
Works with Factory Exhaust
The Summit Series Bedside Slider Steps are designed to work with the Gladiator's factory exhaust system, allowing you to add bedside protection without requiring an exhaust replacement simply to accommodate the sliders.
Compatible with Factory & Aftermarket Fenders
The Bedside Slider Steps are designed to work with both factory and aftermarket Jeep Gladiator fenders, making the system suitable for everything from relatively stock trucks to heavily modified JT builds.
3/16" USA Steel Construction
Both the Summit Series Rear Bumper and Bedside Slider Steps are laser cut and press-brake formed from 3/16" thick USA steel.
The components are fully welded and sanded for a clean finished appearance before receiving their protective finish.
Premium Textured Black Powder Coat
Summit Series armor receives Rebel Off Road's multi-stage finishing process for durability and long-term corrosion protection.
Components are sandblasted and pre-treated through a four-stage iron phosphate wash with a deionized water rinse. A zinc-rich primer is then applied beneath the final black fine-texture powder-coated top coat.
The result is a durable, low-gloss finish designed to complement factory Jeep trim while providing additional protection from weather and trail exposure.

Installation
The Summit Series Rear Bumper replaces the factory Jeep Gladiator rear bumper using the supplied mounting hardware.
The Bedside Slider Steps mount directly to the Gladiator's frame using existing factory mounting locations. All required slider mounting hardware is included.
Factory rear parking sensors can be transferred into the bumper using the supplied sensor brackets. Sensor hole plugs are included for Gladiators not equipped with factory rear parking sensors.
5-Year Rebel Off Road Warranty
Rebel Off Road proudly backs ROE products with a 5-year warranty against defects in materials, workmanship, and components determined to have failed under normal use.
Because Summit Series armor is designed for off-road environments, rust resulting from chips, scratches, trail wear, or other damage to the finish during normal use is not considered a manufacturing defect. Labor associated with installation or removal is also not covered under the warranty.
Why Choose the Complete Summit Series Rear Armor Package?
A traditional rear bumper only protects the back of your Gladiator. The Summit Series Rear Bumper & Bedside Slider Step Package takes protection further by extending heavy-duty, frame-mounted armor beneath the vulnerable rear bedsides.
Add integrated recovery points, multiple access steps, Suregrip tread plates, factory towing compatibility, parking sensor provisions, auxiliary lighting, and 3/16" USA steel construction, and you have a rear armor system built for Gladiators that actually get used.
From technical trails and desert travel to camping and everyday use, the Summit Series gives you the protection you need and makes your Gladiator easier to use when you get where you're going.
Dream. Build. Rebel.
