Description of Rhino-Rack Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited 4 Door Hard Roof Rack/Bare Backbone 3 Base Mounting System - Internal Structure, Black

INCREASED CAPACITY - Strengthen your Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited hard top so that you can mount a Pioneer Platform & increase your cargo capacity. The Backbone adds structural strength, enabling a higher roof load limit & improves cargo carrying ability. THREE MOUNTING POINTS - The three mounting points on each side of the roof system add mountable capacity and weight distribution for a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform, Vortex Bars or Heavy Duty Bars. NO INTERFERANCE - Won't interfere with the removal of your Freedom panels or hard top, since the kit bolts to your hard top both internally with the reinforced structure and externally via the mounting brackets. CARRY MORE - 76% More load capacity (114lbs more) is what you get compared to a roof rack mounted directly to the hard top. The factory non-stationary cap is 150lbs, which means you get an additional 114 lbs carrying capacity with the Rhino-Rack Backbone. INTERNAL BRACKETS install around the window frame and bear the weight from the roof, carrying the load from the roof down into the vehicle's steel body, greatly reducing the roof load pressure. Parked max load is 795 lbs. Moving max load 265 lbs. INSTALLATION - Single person installation. Instructions included, video also available online. Some drilling required. All hardware included. ADD A PIONEER PLATFORM - We recommend adding the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform for maximum roof load area. SKU 52108F. Quick Mount Kit SKU QMFK05. Legs RLT600, legs RLT600H. Full kit JC-00456. All sold separately. FOR CROSSBARS - works with Rhino-Rack legs RLCP (x2) or RLT600 for crossbar mounting. Legs, spacer kits & Pioneer Platform are sold separately, as each person may wish to customize their setup to their needs. FIVE YEAR WARRANTY - We offer a standard 5 Year Manufacturer’s Warranty for peace of mind. BLACK POWDER COATED - to compliment and blend in with your vehicle's factory hard top finish, for a stylish look.

Lack of power for off-road use

The quality of the equipment does not correspond to the size and quantity. Loosened again and again despite adding Loctite to all joints. Waiting for possible failure of nylon braces.

Pros
  • INSTALLATION - One person installation. Includes instructions, video is also available online. Some drilling required. All devices included.
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Very Very Happy, suitable for carrying loads

Very cool product. I really like the fact that I have the security of being able to put the weight of whatever I want on my roof without worrying about too much weight sitting on the glass roofs/gutter railings. It's very solid, it took me about 5 hours to install it as it requires some drilling. But if you don't mind a bit of patience, you won't be disappointed! All holes and drill hole guides lined up PERFECTLY. They couldn't make it any easier. I was happy to see that the front mounts…

Pros
  • INTERNAL BRACKET installs around the window frame and supports the weight of the roof, transferring the load from the roof down to the vehicle's steel body, greatly reducing the stress on the roof. Maximum parked load is 795 pounds. Maximum moving load 265 lbs.
Cons
  • Damaged

Installation is daunting, but it's worth it

The system fits perfectly. Just make sure you buy the right model for your vehicle. I give the installation instructions 2 out of 10 points. Very cartoonish and generally confusing. What I really liked was the layout board. After unpacking, you place all the parts and details on the board and simply select the part you will work on. However, it would make a lot more sense if the parts were punched using a suitable breadboard. Installation is intimidating, requiring you to drill a total of 12…

Pros
  • BLACK POWDER COATED - Complements and coordinates with your vehicles hard top for a stylish look.
Cons
  • Difficult to say
