Adventure Rack Systems Rack Review

[Ratbert]

@Casey250 published a great review of @Adventure Rack Systems' rack. I have the same one and love it. It's incredibly strong and makes alternatives like Gobi look wimpy in comparison.

We stumbled onto an air show in Grand Junction a few weeks ago on our way to Moab (for the ring of fire eclipse!) and we simply climbed on top of the roof rack to enjoy the show.

A couple things I'd like to add. One is that you need to remove the front hoop when (not if...it's a Wrangler) replacing your windshield. That can be an unexpected pain point.

Another is that you might get a whistle from the top front brackets like I did. That can be remedied by plugging the two sets of gaps above the windshield with Sugru.

Thank you Ratbert! If possible, can you post up some pics what you did with the Sugru? I'm sure others might have a similar interest. Thanks man!

It doesn't look quite as good as it did last year, but it's still very functional:

awesome! Easy to peel out of there?

Yep, it takes a bit of effort, but it'll come off. Sugru is pretty amazing stuff. Some examples:
