Finally, a complete roof rack system that is tough enough to conquer the off road! Constructed of over-built 2 x .120 wall textured powder coat painted steel tubing backed by heavy duty 1/4 brackets, this Roof Rack System is as tough as it is good looking! Features: Removable Cross Bars for easy Soft or Hard Top removal. Cross Bars are designed for use with almost all aftermarket accessories (Thule, Yakima, etc.). Four point mounting -- Attaches to front door mounts and to the rear frame -- Holds up to 300 pounds of evenly distributed cargo. Contoured design eliminates boxy look. Add on the lightweight Outland Rugged Rack for the ultimate off road rack / basket combination. The perfect add on rack to match all SRC front, rear, and side tubular products. Modular design is easy to install and is UPS-able. Please Note: The "no drilling required, bolt-on" bottom rear leg mounts of the roof rack are designed to work with aftermarket bumpers only and are not compatible with the factory bumper. Factory bumpers will require drilling to install the rack. Note: this roof rack will not work on the 2013 Rubicon 10th Anniversary Edition because of the factory supplied rear bumper.
Great roof rack. A lot of people complain about the instructions but you can also see lots of installation videos on YouTube.
Installation was simple and the track feels extremely sturdy.
I haven't install the rack yet, but Ive seen it on other Jeeps and it looks goods.
The product is great, looks great , easily installed by myself. But shipping sucked , took 2 months to get here.
It's a solid rack. Assembly was fairly straightforward but as usual their instruction leave a little to be desired. There are plugs that come with it to fill the hole in the mounting knobs to keep water out but no where in the instructions is there one word about these plugs, not even sure they were on the parts list. We figured it out thanks to their octagonal shape. There were a couple of other small things but overall much better than the instructions for their bumpers. Since installing we have used the rack to haul 2 kayaks for a day paddling. Everything was great other than needing a small ladder so my wife could get her kayak end up. 5'4" and 2.5" lift makes it difficult getting 60 & 75 lbs overhead but the rack is working out great and would buy again.

Q: Are the cross bars included. Also what is the distance from top of cross bar to top of roof and distance from top of main bars to roof. and distance from farthest rear bar roof roof. My Jeep roof is 76.5" tall and I only have 82" clear to get in garage. Answer this question
A: Yes it comes with the cross bars, I recommend leaving the front one off so the freedom tops or soft top are easier to access. The distance from the top of the cross bar to my hard top is 5.25”. The cross bars sit higher than the support bars to if you can make the clearance work for the cross bars you’re good to go.

A: Cross bars are included. I haven't installed the rack on my Jk yet.

Q: What wind fairing/size would work with this rack? Answer this question
A: If you're looking to reduce wind noise, we found we have little to no major increase in wind noise with this rack. The round design of the frame seems to let the wind flow around the tubes without creating excess noise. Ours is installed on a 2010 JKU.
Answered by Mark from Jacksonville, FL on 01/03/2022
A: I built my own. I actually found that a 6" wide x 52" long fairing fit well but having it on the front bar produced a good bit of noise. I'll have to try a much wider fairing. I used the same size but only about 48" or so wide for the first crossbar (one back from the front bar). The reason being is I have a solar panel mounted in between the first and second crossbar. Wind from the windshield was coming up and hitting the underside of the solar panel and causing a good bit of noice. The fairing on the crossbar works very well to stop that, fwiw.

Q: 2016 JK Rubicon 4D / Smittybilt XRC Gen 2 Rear Bumper: Will I need to cut the bumper in order to fit to frame with this setup? Answer this question
A: No. The rack comes with brackets to drill and mount to body OR it has brackets to mount to the frame. It uses the same nut plates you used to attach the bumper to the frame. We are running XRC Gen 1 on one Jeep and a Gen 2 on the other. The rack hardware includes longer bolts and spacers to fill the gap between the rack and frame created by the bumper.
Answered by Mark from Jacksonville, FL on 11/22/2021
A: No. The bumper angles back to accommodate it. You can always email Smittybilt but I have the SRC bumper and it angles back just like the XRC.
