how else would they attach to each other then? magnets? :facepalm:
Don’t know smart guy that’s why I asked. Was not sure if they were gutter mounted and the backbone just provided additional strength and weight dostribution for the hard top.

That looks like a heavily upgraded sport right? How does it drive with those wheels and tires? You didn't mention gearing or axles. Any idea what your gas mileage is?

Ahhh...nice. So from the pics it looks like there is no actual drilling through the top. Is that true?
It does require some drilling, and its really not bad the instructions the company gives you is step by step.

It is a heavily upgraded sport. I've had a previous JK that had to do gearing since it was dog slow, but on this new JL its a totally different machine. I really don't need to gear it, but I will just because. I'm just waiting to see what others do before I touch my gears.

Beautiful setup! Are you rolling the dual battery setup for your overlanding adventures?

Also, have you used the road shower yet? I've always loved their product and it's one of those things I want but can never justify the cost to!
Genesis offroad has the dual battery for the Jeep JL

The Road Shower is amazing! I really got it for going out off-road, or to the beach and just having a hose to wipe off all the mud/sand.

How were you able to get the Rhino Back-Bone Roof rack??? Rhino has repeatedly told me that the roof rack would not be for sale until some time in 2019!!!

Yea I took my vehicle to the SEMA show, and had it showcased. I'm one of the first to have it. I recommend to backorder it. They should become available by next year. It's worth the wait super cool system, and sleek design.

Very nice rig! Any pics on your rear storage setup?

I'm debating on a two drawer low(ish) profile design I came up with using 80/20 aluminum vs. purchasing something "off the rack". I have my ARB 50Qt behind the driver's seat to allow more space in the rear.

I'm still working on the rear just have a Dometic 50qt with a Dometic slide out. I'm looking into doing a Goose Gear setup. Check out there site they have nice setups.

Cool. Looking forward to seeing what you do. I like goose gear stuff. It's just very expensive.

Thanks again.
