how much does this add to the weight ratings?
A
04/16/2020, 5:17:11 PM
We have no official capacity on this system. We've ran a 175lb roof top tent on it without issue. But ultimately any additional weight on the roof is more than what the vehicle was designed for, even with these supports.

Where do the front bracket arms mount, near the front seat roll bar or above the rear seat roll bar?Is this product compatible with both the long and the short racks?
A

Above the rear seat roll-bar, yes it's compatible with both length racks.

are there any install instructions available for this product? Also, are there any issues with leaking from the mounting points through the hardtop?
A

There are video instructions on the product page yes. No issues with leaking if you use RTV or silicon and replace it if it ever peels or cracks.

Is that the 49" Adventure tent from FS in the pictures? I'm trying to get an idea of tent footprint compared to rack space, as the tents I'm looking to mount are 55" or 56" wide. FS lists the width of the 49" Adventure as 52" which, based on a previous answer you gave of 54" of useable rack space, looks like it lines up with the photos; would a tent with closed dimensions of 56" fit inside the side rails of the rack or would the base of the tent need to be raised to sit on top of the side rails?
A

55" High Country
Q

I'm looking to mount a tuff stuff alpha tent on whatever roof rack I go with. It is 75" long when closed. will I still be able to mount that evenly/centred on the short rack? Or will the rack be too small and the tent be mounted to far back hanging over the rear?
A
07/21/2020, 3:41:07 PM
That tent would not be able to be centered on the short rack. Depending on the height of the mounting brackets of the tent, you may need to space it up an inch or two even on the tall rack to clear the roof.
Q

Does this include a reinforcement for both sides or just one?
A

Both sides.

Yes, drilling is required. Please see the install video.

can the jl roof rack reinforcement be used on the 2015 jku
A
04/12/2021, 3:11:53 PM
The JK includes the reinforcement brackets.
Q
Christian • 05/24/2021, 6:24:21 PM
Is it possible to still remove the hardtop after using the reinforcement kit and is so, are the braces left on the rollbar or does ot separate there?
A
06/04/2021, 11:31:41 AM
You would pull the rack and top as a unit. All the tie-in brackets would stay with the top. Super easy to do.
Q
Corey Meyers • 08/04/2021, 1:58:09 PM
Hello, I too am curious what the actual numbers are for weight bearing with the added reinforcement. Can we get those numbers? Love the rack and would like to order but can't without seeing what those would be.
Thank you!

I will be getting the half roof rack for my 2021 Jeep JL and have a question about the reinforcement kit. When selecting the reinforcement kit it only shows two braces, one for each side. However, when I click on the installation video it shows two braces per side. Does the half rack require just the two or will it require the four as in the video? Thanks for you help.
A
02/01/2022, 12:06:12 PM
The reinforcement kit will come with two brackets per side. The large rear MOLLE brackets and two small front brackets.
Q
David • 02/05/2024, 4:05:50 PM
Are the rain gutter clips still used after installing the reinforcement brackets?
A
02/09/2024, 11:02:57 AM
Yes, the rack would still install the same with or without the reinforcement brackets.

I installed the full length rack on my 21 JLUR. It matched the roof lines and makes no wind noise while driving on the highway. I have put a Hi Lift jack, shovel and a 270 awning that weighs 72 lbs. on it with out the interior supports. It handles the loads well and looks great as well. I have ordered the internal support kit to increase the load limit. Once that is installed and tested, I'll add another review. Love this rack and so does everyone that sees it.
