JK Cowl Armor - Warrior Products

[Don Meredith]

I climb up on the cowling of my Jeep to set up the front of my RTT. I've never felt 100% comfortable with this so I found this armor to add a little structure and a surface friendlier to muddy boots. Installation was relatively easy. It does involve drilling a few holes and installing pop rivets. I am OCD on fit so I spent time adjusting the bend of the side plates to better match the curve of the Jeep's body. After installation, they look great. I've used them on 3 camping trips so far... they work perfectly!

I've thought about standing on the cowl... I just always figured my big but would collapse it... So, I haven't done it yet...

I weigh about 180 and it works fine.

I'm 210... Might still worry a bit for myself on there... But, good to know it might work...

There is a company that's working on a cowel step

Just popped up in my Instagram feed and looks like a pretty good setup for the RTT folk.

That cowel step is a really cool idea, not just for RTTs - My wife struggles lifting kayaks up on the roof, and once on, getting the straps round and back, so this step would be great for that

These guys already have a step on the market. Their hinge steps look handy for RTT set up and roof rack liading too.

That last step looks like it only works if their is a KargoMaster rack installed. so if you dont want to use their rack your SOL.
