Help with rack + RTT?

[Av8Chuck]

This is all helpful information. At this point, I'm really not looking to do any serious off-roading, the vehicle is bone stock as of now with plans really only for bigger wheels + tires. The camping I'm looking to do will be at campgrounds or at least easier to get to locations.

With that being said, I'm wondering if I should be looking at a different option for rack then? Possibly in that same price range. I just became overwhelmed with the sheer amount of options and then the reviews on each.

It’s like Gretzky used to say “Don’t skate to where the puck is, skate to where it’s going to be”. Don’t upgrade a Jeep to the standards of a stock Jeep - upgrade it to the mission capabilities you want your Jeep to be. It will save you time and money. It would suck to get a rack for your current RTT and the a year later you want to upgrade your RTT and it requires you to upgrade the rack.

I would consider the Rocklander Rack system from ARS (Adventure Rack Systems). You don’t need to drill the hard top, 800lb weight capacity and you can easily run it with or without the hard top/softtop. I take mine on and off depending on what I’m doing. It almost acts as an exoskeleton to protect the body on technical trails.

I have two Rhino Rack backbone systems on two Jeeps. I also have a new in the box RR Backbone that i will sell at half price if you want to go that direction. (If this is inappropriate, delete it.)

One of the points, don't rely solely on the rain gutter, no matter what rack you use.

Front Runner also has racks that mount through the roof putting all the weight directly to the roll bars.
