A: If you have a hardtop you need part number AM-6. If you have a soft top you would need 76711 SCR roof rack.

A: Soft top will not fold down without removing rear section of rack.

A: The Defender Rack itself weighs about 170lbs. The weight rating is 150lbs, but it depends on the vehicle it is mounted to. Unfortunately we do not sell the center sections separately.

A: Yes they are included

A: 4.5 x 3 x 4" sides

A: This Defender rack will add around 6-7” to the top of the Jeep.

A: The rack is 4ft wide by 5ft long (not sure of cab area surface size. ) Drill in mount brackets (sold separately)

A: Mounting lights. 

A: Smittybilt does not have an official static rating for defender racks. It all depends on the bracket system you use. As long as you don't use drill in brackets, you should have no issues with mounting a roof top tent.

A: Yes you can.

A: The bolt together has 5” sides, and can obviously extend (longer) if ever wanted. The one piece has 4” sides.

A: Yes there are three aux light mounts on each side then it has the mounts on top for mounting a bigger light. 

A: 150 pound load rating

A: No, the Defender roof rack basket (Part# 40204) is too short from front to back to mount on the SRC roof rack (Part# 76717). It needs to sit on at least 2 of the crossbars.

A: This is a universal rack. Requires vehicle-specific mounting kit which is sold separately.

A: It would depend on how any other rack mounts. This rack uses 1" round tubes, so if the rack you want to mount will mount to 1" tubes it might be able to. .

A: Hello, Yes this rack would fit your jeep. We may require additional information on the tent your are thinking of getting, but i will try to answer as best i can though. If your XJ has no stock rack, use part number: S/BHDS-6 for mounting .

On part number S/B40504 we include a video of rack with tent. If any additional questions/concerns please call us 877-474-4821.

A: No, this fits the new JLU Wranglers.

A: No we do not have it in stock at this time.

A: If you mean does it come with a full length basket the answer is no. I believe Smittybilt makes a few full length baskets that would fit.  There are several companies that make full length safari baskets that will also fit on this rack. I chose this rack because I didn’t want to drill into my top and I needed something for my RTT. I have the tent mounted to the rear with a 4’ Safari basket towards the front. Let me know if you have more questions.
