What is that roof platform? All Looks great
The roof rack is from Maximus-3: https://maximus-3.com/2018-jeep-wrangler-jl-jlu-roof-rack/maximus-3-jl-2-door-roof-rack-system. With the dog taking up a good portion of the back, we needed increase storage for longer trips.

The Rotopax mount is from Trailrax: https://www.trailrax.com/products/pak-rax-jl-2018-current. I like the concept, but am not totally sold on the execution. I’m getting a lot of abrasion at the contact points.

Thank you for this. I take it this is bolted through the hard top with supplied fittings? It. says in the product overview - the weight is transferred to the structural sports bar (roll cage). Can you comment on this.
Sorry for all the questions but I am in NZ and from what I can see locally there is nothing really available here for 2 door JL.

No problem. There was nothing here in the US for the 2-door when I started looking either. It does bolt through the hard top to the sports bar, front and back. Below is a photo of the inside rear bracket. The front is not visible because it is sandwiched btwn the roof and sports bar.

The rack is a Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform. Maximus-3 makes the mounting hardware for the JL and sells the whole thing as a kit in the US. I expect that they have an agreement with Rhino Rack, since RR doesn’t list it on their website. You might try contacting Maximus to see if they will sell you just the mounting hardware, then buy the rack in country to save shipping expenses.

Though it makes taking the top off extremely difficult, I find that the rack works great and is very strong. I have carried a couple hundred pounds of wood from the home improvement store without issue. A standard gutter mount rack would not have been able to handle the load.

Another option could be Front Runner. They now have both full and half racks for the 2-door JL. Both bolt through the roof to the sports bar as well.

Good Luck.

Every time I see your Jeep I think "They should have made a two door 392."

Then I have visions of spinning like a top and puking out the window before slamming into a pole and being ejected. I'm good with the look.
