Rhino Rack

[KellyS]

Anyone running or have experience with the Rhino Rack Backbone on their JKU?

My buddy has one on his JKU. Do you have questions?

@Philbobagginz I was wondering if it would support a 2 person RTT and 2 adults.

@maxcustody that is one good looking JK! Have you ever mounted that RTT to it?

I have my RTT mounted on my trailer, I keep going back and forth of putting it on.............I am going to Arizona and Utah in May but I am taking the Oz tent.

Do you think the RR Backbone will do the job? I know the weight rating for the JKU hard top is basically 0lbs.

Take a look at the Frontrunner Outfitters Jeep JKU racks. The mount securely to the rollcage(shorter uprights, less deflection).
The Frontrunner racks are good for 600lbs which is more than enough for a RTT.

Thanks Anchor Mtn. I'll check them out.

Absolutely will. Send me a pm if you are interested in going with the Rhino Rack. I know a guy. ;)

Roof rack is on the back burner. Blew up my lawn mower last week and just dropped 2k on a new one. Such is life.

I did a ton of research on roof racks and I just ordered a Front Runner Slimline II. The accessory catalog is really impressive in addition to the excellent design of the rack itself.

FR rack system probably best for the price anywhere. I run one on my Towd it supports an ARB Simpson 3

If you want to take your roof off, last I heard Frontrunner isn't designed to do that easily. Also, keep in mind to install the Frontrunner on a JKU you will be drilling 16 22mm holes in your roof!!!!
