You sir have cost me thousands of dollars with your videos. I keep buying things. Expect a cease and desist letter from my wife. All kidding aside, great content as always Brad. Ordered the rack yesterday and will have it installed by the shop as I do not have the moral fiber to drill into the roof. Kudos to you and your hands on approach. Definitely considering supporting you through patreon and would love to join you on a trip someday (I'm less than 2 hours north of san diego). All the best!

PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE INSTALLING THE KIT AND MEASURE!! Most definitely double check the measurements of the supplied paper template! Mine didn't match up to the given measurements. So glad I checked right before I drilled. 123mm specified on the paper template was only 117.20mm

Watching your video on this roof rack convinced me to buy it. It showed up today! I'm looking forward to installing it this weekend. I really enjoy all the quality videos you produce, especially because your build is almost exactly what I want mine (2016 JKU Rubicon) to end up like. Your videos have already helped considerably. Keep it up please!

Thank you for the video, I just wish I would have had it a week earlier. Your video is a lot better than the ones provided by Rhino-Rack. The only advice I would suggest is to measure the leg distance before trying to mount the entire unit. Thank you for all of your videos and for not being so over the top with the size of your lift kit, tires etc.

After watching this video, I ordered this rack. I ran into a couple of issues that I think are important to note for prospective buyers: 1. After I mounted the planks to the end rails (8:40 in the video), I turned it right side up to find that the screws had pushed into the topside of the plank ends causing the end of rack plank to bulge up. I corrected this by adding two additional flatwashers to the screws. 2. I ordered mine with quickmount legs that lock and unlock for quick removal. The six legs (as part of kit JA8213 at etrailer.com) came in the form of one kit with four legs and one kit with 2 legs. These were keyed differently between the two sets. I contacted Rhino Rack and they sent me some matching cylinders and keys to make it right. 3. Although I followed the fitting instructions meticulously, I could not align the rack to the legs. I had to drill a hole to expand the oval mounting points for two of the crossbars in order to correct this. It also helped that I was using a canoe/kayak ceiling hoist to raise and lower the rack. Other than these obstacles, the installation went well and the rack looks great. Thanks for this and your other videos!

Hi Brad, your videos are inspiring. My local auto shop has a 20% off fathers day special on, l picked up a rhino rack pioneer platform system & will be fitting it this weekend. I got a bit of a surprise picking it up as the pioneer platform is preassembled which means it doesnt fit in the back. Looks like for the Australian market they assemble them. So I'll be going back with a ute or trailer to collect it. Keep up the great video's.

Hey Brad, I purchased this system upon your recommendation, I purchased the backbone system for my Jeep wrangler with this Pioneer platform.. I will say that the Product is nice but the U.S. customer service SUCKS! Upon assembly of my new rack i realized it was missing one little $2 part and they won't send it to me without charging me for it. And the funny thing is they are charging me $10 to ship it.

If you take your top off and on a lot, you might think about a pulley system that could be attached to the ceiling of your garage. With such a system, you could unbolt your soft top from the jeep and then use that system to attach to your Rino Rack and lift it straight up and then drive off. Just reverse the process to replace the soft top and rack back on the jeep. Just an idea.

So in the directions for the Pioneer Platform it says "Please remove crossbars when putting vehicle through an automatic car wash". Now I believe this is referring to the 3 bar roof rack system they sell, which is different than this setup. I don't know if I'll take it through the car wash now....

no you shouldn't take any roof-rack through a car wash...platform rack or otherwise. too much can go wrong and things can get snagged especially any accessories you have. their instructions say no to this as well. definitely stay touchless or go with the quick-release legs to remove the platform if you want to laze it up and coast though an auto like me X-D

Okay, just watched your “How has my rooftop tent lasted” video and had to re-watch this one. Couple questions: 1- you said the weight capacity I’d like 250 lbs... how does that hold the tent and two large adults? Seems like you would max that out quickly. 2- One thing that worries me about a roof rack like this (and the major reason I haven’t bought one) is I still want the ability to take my hardtop off. Could you do a video about that someday? I’d love to see the steps involved in hard top removal with this attached.
@TrailRecon
@TrailRecon 6 жыл бұрын
250lbs is the dynamic weight, I think the static weight is 800lbs. There are no special steps involved in taking the top off with this rack. Unlike a few others out there that secure to the rollbar, this one is only attached to the roof and everything comes off normally.

Thank you! I had to do a little trimming on the rear window side headliner insulation to get the bolts through.

I bought the same one but for a JL (backbone mounting system with the rhino rack platform). I can’t find it in any of the comments here if they had any issues (weight) when 2-3 people sleeping in the roof top tent. I’m concerned about the weight limit. Or maybe i just don’t understand the dynamic vs static weight. When you’re parked and the tent is set up, how much weight can this hold up?

Another awesome vid Brad! Question; what was the install time? I just got mine yesterday and was trying to plan out the install day. Thanks

You can knock this out in an after noon if you don't have to fumble around with cameras like me! Good luck with your install!

Do you have a video mounting/securing your roof top tent? I am looking for a creative idea for how to mount ours... the tent rails sit 1.5" too wide on either side for the pioneer rack.

Great DIY roof rack video! Can you provide the part# for the heavy-duty metal leg kit?

What, if anything extra has to be done to remove the roof? The downfall to most I have seen is that they stop you from removing the roof.

Nothing stopping you from removing the top, the AEV one I believe bolts to brackets attached to the roll bars.

Hi I bought the back bone system and the pioneer platform (both built and ready) but I got the Rhino-Rack RC Locking Leg kit that is not working to attach to the platform. Could you recommend what is the model of the leg kit that works?

Do you think you can use your rhino roof rack to recovery when your Jeep was rolled over like a Arb roof rack? I love rhino rack cuz it light weight, new look but I don’t think it can recovery a rolled over car when you go extreme off road. What do you think?

Hey Brad, I notice on the Interior square brackets you had a black padding? Did that come with the Rhino Rack or was that something you bought additionally? Hope you seen this and get a chance to reply!! Love the Channel man... Keep up the Adventure!!!

Great video! I have two questions. We have the older version Thule Force XXL cargo carrier that we use during the winter for skis. Can that be attached to this rack? Second, is there enough room to hide wiring in the platform to run lights from the rack?

Not sure about the Thule carrier, I'm sure there is a way to make it work? I'll be installing lights soon and there are some nice spots for running wires under the edges.

Oh man, I should have mentioned that in the video!!! The pads cover the forward vertical bars of the internal backbone system. Right next to where the passengers head is.... nice idea to have these.

i though so! it could get ugly if you hit your head against that edge. i currently have roll bar padding zipped tied to it but i bet the padding would look a lot nicer. thanks!

I just ordered the pioneer platform from your website but I ordered the 76x54 for my 4 door jeep will that be to long?? As yours is the 72x56 I hope I didn't order the wrong one.

Why didn't you get the quick disconnects? They allow you to completely remove the rack in minutes.

I'll have to look into that, but honestly, I don't think I'll be removing it.

The Quick Disconnects are awesome but run the Platform about an inch taller than this setup, which is required for the quick-release mechanism to fit/work. Trade off of height vs. convenience, whatever works for you I guess!

I have this rack on my Jeep and it's fantastic. My office has a low clearance parking garage so I'm not able to run the rack unless I'm on a trip. I also don't see a need to keep the extra weight on the roof.
