Hooke Road Overlanding Roof Rack for 2018-2025 Jeep Wrangler JL 2/4 Doors & Gladiator JT, Steel Cargo Basket for Jeep Hard Top Only

I looked at several "complete" racks, not just bars across the roof, but something to carry a good load atop my 2020 Wrangler(like camping gear, etc. After quite a bit of research I settled on this rack and am very pleased with the quality of material, ease of assembly and mounting !! it will definitly take at least 2 to install atop the roof of the vehicle. remember to tighten the roof clips that attach to the rain gutter hand tight, so you can adjust and tighten once you have it set in the gutter where you want it. The top adjustment/tightening bolt on the clip needs to be hard tightened before the side tightening bolt it torqued down, assuring the rubber clip cover will not touch the top of the door when closing .I am pleased with the price for the heavy duty quality it is! (it's not light!)

Easy to assemble and looks awesome and really sturdiness. I would recommend to all my friends with JLU Jeep wranglers. Only missing 4 flat black washers.

I just received this and installed it and it was a breeze. I am very happy with the build of the rack and the design. I added the side Molle racks as well and I am looking forward to taking this on some trails.

The mounting set-up is an absolute joke!!! Won't allow Jeep doors to close and the "clamping" mechanism is really goofy. Clamps do not remain tight and the cheap bolts strip out very easily. Beefy rack but very poorly designed in regards to the actual mounting arrangement...and that makes it a real dud.

Likes: Fairly easy to assemble. High Quality Material. Multi-Functional. As advertised, the rack does not block the use of your freedom top. Looks pretty cool as well.Dislikes: Instructions are not correct. Missing Hardware (company did respond & correct in a day or two). Powder coating chipped a little/ scratched during shipping. Had to purchase touch up paint. You will definitely need two adults to safely install this onto your Jeep. It weights a little over 75 pounds assembled and you need to take care not to scratch your Jeep.

Although the reviews are mixed, I found this roof rack to be very well made and it fit perfect. I put this on a 2019 JL Wrangler 4 door. The doors open as they should and the "T" tops can still be removed. The rack and mounts don't rattle, and the wind noise is not excessive. The rack is large enough for a hi-lift jack, shovel, axe, traction boards, tow strap, and other miscellaneous off-road crap. The only down side, if it is indeed a down side, is that you can't reach into the rack to retrieve gear without standing on the door step or rear seat. After installing the rack I ordered a tire step from Amazon to make retrieving gear easier. This rack weights over 60 pounds and is awkward to install without help. Luckily I had an overhead hoist in my shop and was able to position the rack without too much difficulty. I'm not a big fan of the hex head bolts used in the assembly of the rack and mounts, but it is what it is. I would purchase this product again.

BLUF: It is a decent looking $300 rack that doesnt look like something you would expect on a minivan. But poor fit and finish made it a bit of a challenge (but not insurmountable) to install.After nearly a year of trying to find a decently priced safari rack for my jeep (the prices have been bonkers) - I decided to take a chance on this rack. I like the look on my 2 Door JL Rubicon, however assembly was a pain in the neck. To set the stage, I am in my late 50s, this is my third jeep, and I have worked on older vehicles since the late 70s, with my Dad - who was an antique auto restorer (Packards). With respect to this rack, I encountered several issues. Firstly, one of the welds was bad, (You can see daylight through the weld). The powder coat was chipped off of the front portion of the rack showing bare metal - so I will need to take care of that, so it wont rust. I found a number of spots where the metal wasnt completely de-greased and the powder coat either bubbled up or did not stick at all - particularly on the interior of the mounting brackets. The bends on the rear end cap were about 2-3 mm off, thus requiring me to pry up the metal and hammer home with a rubber mallet. 3 of the machine screws did not have a proper hexagon in the interior - they were rounded off and filled with a heavy coat of paint. The directions are poorly written, and manage to contradict itself with respect to the orientation of the "double-nut" used to attach the mounting bracket. Bottom line - I spent about 2 hours working around issues just trying to get it assembled. The installation on the Jeep itself was pretty straightforward - blot everything together loosely, and use a tape measure to tighten things up. The rubber sleeve on the front drivers side bracket does hang a little low - so there is interference between the weather stripping on the door and the rubber on the mounting bracket - I may trim part of that sleeve to lessen the interference. On the passenger side the sleeve just got folded back when opening - but there isnt the same amount of resistance.

The media could not be loaded. Great roof rack for the Jeep Gladiator.Fairly easy to assemble and install. It ls not the lightest rack on the market but well constructed. Have someone help you lift it on top of your jeep.I was impressed on how well it was packaged. I had no issues at all.I also like all the points that wratchet straps can be connected for odd sized items you may need to carry on top of your rig.I am very happy with this rack so far.
