Features

  • INCREASED CAPACITY - Strengthen your Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited hard top so that you can mount a Pioneer Platform & increase your cargo capacity. The Backbone adds structural strength, enabling a higher roof load limit & improves cargo carrying ability.
  • THREE MOUNTING POINTS - The three mounting points on each side of the roof system add mountable capacity and weight distribution for a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform, Vortex Bars or Heavy Duty Bars. Perfect for Jeep Wrangler accessories.
  • NO INTERFERANCE - Won't interfere with the removal of your Freedom panels or hard top, since the kit bolts to your hard top both internally with the reinforced structure and externally via the mounting brackets.
  • CARRY MORE - 76% More load capacity (114lbs more) is what you get compared to a roof rack mounted directly to the hard top. The factory non-stationary cap is 150lbs, which means you get an additional 114 lbs carrying capacity with the Rhino-Rack Backbone.
  • INTERNAL BRACKETS install around the window frame and bear the weight from the roof, carrying the load from the roof down into the vehicle's steel body, greatly reducing the roof load pressure. Parked max load is 795 lbs. Moving max load 265 lbs.
  • INSTALLATION - Single person installation. Instructions included, video also available online. Some drilling required. All hardware included. Get your setup ready for Jeep accessories.
  • ADD A PIONEER PLATFORM - We recommend adding the best Jeep accessory: the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform for maximum roof usage. Use SKU 52108F for the best fit, sold separately.
  • FOR CROSSBARS - works with Rhino-Rack legs RLCP (x2) or RLT600 for crossbar mounting. Legs, spacer kits & Pioneer Platform are sold separately, as each person may wish to customize their setup to their needs.
  • FIVE YEAR WARRANTY - We stand behind our product quality and offer a 5 Year Manufacturer Warranty for peace of mind. Quality matters. Our products are engineered to withstand some of the harshest conditions on Earth. Designed and engineered in Australia.
  • ADVENTURE - At Rhino-Rack, we believe theres an adventurer in all of us. Its what drives us to create world-ready outdoor gear, born and proven in Australia. We believe life is better when we Make Space for Adventure.

  • Awesome product.
Fantastic product. Very well-designed. Not too difficult to install. If you're looking for a strong sleep design, this is what you need.

  • Scary to Install but well worth it
The system is excellent on fit. Just make sure you purchase the correct model for your vehicle. Installation instructions i give 2 out of 10. Very cartoonish and does can be confusing. What I did like was the parts layout board. Once unpackaged, you layout all the parts and pieces on to a board and just select the part you will be working on. Although it would be a lot more helpful is the parts were stamped with the corresponding layout board. Installation is scary as you will be drilling a total of 12 holes into the Jeep fiberglass top. I installed the back-bone system while my top was on the jeep but i think it would be easier to install if you take the top off for drilling and securing the bolts. Sort of need to contorque yourself and the roll bar cage make it difficult to install the bolts and washers (i've dropped a few and lost the washers). The other item which Rhino-Rack needs to change is after drilling the holes and before installing the hardware, Rhino-Rack says to put butyl mastic around the holes for water tightness. That stuff makes a mesh and can get onto places you don't want. I used FlexSeal which came in a small push bottle. This way you are not buying a tube of butyl and caulk gun for such a small amount you would need. Rhino-Rack should list acceptable sealants (doesn't need to be by manufacturer name). There are a few videos on the internet on how to install the back-bone system and highly recommend you watch those before and while you are performing the install. ... show more

  • Lacking sturdiness for off road use
Hardware quality is lacking in size and quantity. Repeatedly working loose despite adding locktite to all connections. Expecting eventual failure of nylon brackets.
