The Roof Rack List (JL / JLU Wrangler)

[rizej]

Yeah - I think I recall someone saying it is projected until sometime later in the year.

It is the only rack I personally am waiting for.

Same here. Too bad I can't sign up for a notification email from Rhino Rack when it is available...

I'm definitely looking forward to the low-profile type racks I've seen out there. There's one specifically I'd like - the one that only attaches to the hard-top, but has pass-through mounts to rest directly on the roll bar. That way everything sits on the hard-top when I want to take it all off.

not really a fan of the gobi-type that screw into the Jeep; even being able to tilt it back, I find the appearance of the bars coming down and attaching to the frame a bit clunky-looking

Both the Backbone system (Rhino Rack) and the Maximus-3 system use the Rhino Rack pioneer platform.

The one you are mentioning is the Maximus-3/pioneer setup.

I will use whichever one comes out for the pioneer platform first.

Even though they both can accommodate the pioneer platform, if your not looking to drop $1k on a new roof rack system there is the 2 bar Rhino Rack Backbone as well. I will probably go with the 3 bar system because it provides a ton of strength and work with all my current aftermarket roof rack parts without needing the Pioneer platform

I love the look of this. Another solution that I need to find a problem for so I can solve it with this roof rack.

I like the idea for the back bone vs a full time Gobi rack
And swapping to the hard top when I put on the rtt
Might be a pain though
I’m on the fence

It will be interesting to see how the Rhino Rack Backbone system changes with the rain gutter going so far along the back of the hard top

Hopefully these start becoming available soon. I was hoping to have a rack and roof too tent installed before our first big trip in june.

I'm sure the major roof rack companies know that these are more of a priority in the summer and are working towards release dates close to that. It still doesn't make it any easier to wait unfortunately...

I am waiting for the AEV/Pioneer Platform. I have it installed on my JK and plan on moving the platform over to the new Rubi. But AEV doesn't have the roll bar brackets ready yet.

Is there a link for that?
