Rhino-Rack | How To Install A Backbone System (Jeep Wrangler)

[@britaniarodriguez6182]

This was so helpful and well put together. Clean instructions. Thank you!

[@BenjaminBurnham]

I spent a couple hours this past weekend installing the 3 pad backbone system. The printed directions that came with the system were pretty good. This video is a good companion to have available in the garage on you phone or tablet during installation. Its also a very good idea to have a friend lend a hand...i think i could have managed alone but it would have taken a bit longer and probably a bit stressful lol.One note....the front pad installation/contact point includes a bracket/plate that you bolt to the frame. it sould be noted that this bracket will interfere with the jeep soft top door surrounds...not a big deal...just remove them when the soft top in installed.all that being said i am happy with the install process and directions just take your time and have a friend help or at least be there with a cold drink!

Can I add that 3rd mount later on?

[@thejeepbountyhunter]

Is the front bracket supposed to sit in the rain gutter?

J'ai fait le grand saut , le kit backbone est à la maison et le montage est prévu lundi ... J'espère que tout ce passera bien ! 🇫🇷

My backbone kit has qty 4 CA1275 brackets instead of qt 2 CA1275 & qty 2 CA1276. Are the front & middle brackets actually the same bracket?

This is a great product! Can I use the RCL6 37mm low profile legs with the Vortex bars?? I find the factory RLCP to be a bit high for my application. Thank you

[@Rhino-Rack]

Yes you can! Thanks

[@truckerrickakamanowar]

Is there an installation video like this one for the 2 door Jeep JK? I just purchased this system for my 2 door. Thanks in adavance.

[@JvKintheUSA]

I have a RuggedRidge Exo-Top installed on my 4 door Wrangler. Wondering how I would secure a Pioneer Platform that you guys sell. Any suggestions? Thanks!

[@Rhino-Rack]

+John van Kints the Pioneer Platform does not have a universal fit for the RuggedRidge system. You would need to install legs or a C-Channel style bar in order to fit the Platform to your jeep.

Is this roof rack all right for rooftop tents?

[@Rhino-Rack]

For sure! The backbone system increases the load rating making it a great fit for roof top tents, kayaks and off roading.

What bumper is that @ 00:09?

[@Rhino-Rack]

It's a Smittybilt 76721 SRC Front Bumper from the USA.

[@gambit2u862]

Is this available the TJ?

[@Rhino-Rack]

Best bet is to look up your on our vehicle selector. It'll show you all the available racks for your model. www.rhinorack.com.au/fit-my-car/select-vehicle

[@sherryb9770]

Strong front runner for my JK. Not sure I like the idea of losing rear hardtop off capability.

[@Rhino-Rack]

Our system is very versatile as it connects directly to the factory mounting points of the hardtop, this means the hardtop and the roof rack remove at the same time. There is no need for any extra removal of parts.
