  • Great rack- Fits 4-door JL (including 4xE)
I love this rack. Install was easy and straight forward. For some reason Amazon fitments says it won't fit my 2022 Jeep JLU Rubicon 4xE but I can confirm it fit with no issue. I did need to leave the plastic trim off the clamps in the rain gutter, or else it did slightly interfere with rear doors opening. ... show more

  • Good Rack
Good rack, could’ve come with better hardware. The rubber pads on the clamps catch the passenger door seal. I ended up cutting the outer part off with a scalpel. I also cut the length of the adjuster studs by about ¾” so I could put acorn nuts on.

  • Perfect!
Love my roof rack! It's perfect for carrying golf bags or what ever you need. Easy to assemble. It does take 2 people to install but it's very easy to do. It makes my jeep look even more beefy.

  • The bolts are not good
I am afraid to put this on my Jeep the bolts seem horrible and will come loose , not the greatest quality at all.

  • Only issue is the front brackets
The front bracket bumpers hit the door when closing. NOt that bad but if you have kids I could see it getting annoying.

  • Sturdy piece but came damaged
Mixed feelings on this purchase. Some pros and cons - listed below - but had to ding from a 4/4.5 to a 2.5/3 due to damage at arrival (see pics). Ultimately I could have sent it back for a replacement from Amazon or the manufacturer at no cost, but I had to weigh the additional inconvenience, time delays and the fact I was literally at my buddy's place ready to install it when we opened the package and discovered the damage. So I decided to install. We mostly straightened out the cargo ring - it's not perfectly straight but it's good enough and still structurally very sound. The repair is more in sanding the damaged area and spray painting with a weather/rust proof coating. Won't be a perfect match to the powder coat but won't be able to notice such a small spot with the right Matte Black. Shouldn't be a huge job, but it is also a job I shouldn't have to do. Whole thing kinda takes the "new car smell" away from my 1st Jeep after-market accessory experience. Pros: Overall it is a sturdy, attractive rack Connects to your JLU without the need to drill holes Does not interfere with Freedom tops in any way Relatively easy installation Cons: Arrived damaged (duh) Instructions are of terrible pixel quality so makes installation less straightforward (this is where we're saving a few pennies?) Installation will almost certainly result in some scratches / paint damage to your hard top; probably more blame here goes to Jeep than Smitty, but still kinda sucks ... show more
