Exposed Racks Hardtop Roof Rack Reviews
Easy to install and not permanent
Works great on my JT. I’m able to carry my 18’ handmade laker canoe.
Solid roof racks. I ordered the ones with the click in system and a pair of click in kayak carriers. I also ordered some of the weight distribution feet from the manufacturer as I intend to use it to carry gear on the top for camping. I carry my 13ft long fishing kayak without any issues with these, and I love the click in accessories. I was able to install them on my 2 door JL and leave enough clearance to take off my freedom panels.
These don't make any noise, they don't move at all and carry lots of dynamic weight. I recommend you get some of the weight distribution feet to increase the weight carrying capabilities of these racks.
Best rack system for the JL on the market in my opinion.
