Reviews for Smittybilt 45454 Defender Roof Rack for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK 4 Door
This thing is solid. Installed it myself, but a helper would be best. Looks good, and gives solid hauling capabilities.
Easy to install, looks great and works really well. It makes packing the family for long trips really easy.
Exactly what I wanted and needed: well built, strong, and great rust proof coating. Install was a breeze. My only complaint is that Quadratec's shipping was inconvenient as R&L carriers made me pick up the package on a main road because the driver said he couldn't get his rig into my neighborhood which was complete BS; I live right on a wide enough road that circles all around to several main roads. Anyway, I'm overall satisfied.
Excellent product as always with Smittybilt. Easy to install and take off within minutes. Very durable finish and materials used. I watched several videos on YouTube before I got the rack. I did over tighten the clamp bolt on one side and it broke a week later. Totally my fault. Smittybilt sent me an entire kit free of charge overnight. Very pleased with Quadratec and Smittybilt quick and reliable service as always!!
Sturdy, well built and perfect for the Wrangler. Installed by myself in about an hour. Mounting hardware should be part of the overall package though and not purchased separately...
Easy install! Was a one man job took me about 2 hours start to finish.
Very happy with this rack, easy install, got the hi-lift mount as well. All of the mounting brackets fit right in place.
NIce rack and easy to install. Had many complements and folks wanting to know where I bought it.
Shipped on time, really easy to install, I however found that lifting the window and loosening the bolts was very easy on my 2017 Jeep Wrangler sport. I would install the brackets on the rack before placing on top. I used an old sheet to cover the top until everything was secured. Took less than one hour, the direction are not that great.
Very Happy with the Defender Rack, Took me about an hour to throw it on, Did throw a Blanket on the roof, but left it in the Bubble Wrap for the most of it. The only issue that bothered me, is the side mounts hang just enough to clear the door it self, but it rubs the Door seal as you shut the door. I guess as long you don't have a Tribe run thru those doors on a daily deal, should work out fine, Workmanship is Great, put together nicely, Smitty Built puts out a nice Product and with a 3" lift & 35's, total Height is 6'& 6.5"
