Hooke Road Roof Rack Cargo Basket Crossbar for 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Jeep Wrangler JL 2 or 4 Doors & Gladiator JT (Hard Top Only)

Its solid!!! Well made no issues, brackets fits well on roof top, wrangler JL Willys 2024. Main use will be to carry freedom panels when I take them off

Love the look, quality, and fit & function of my new Hooke Road Roof Rack. I was looking for a rack to still allow removal of my freedom panels but also provide enough capacity to carry my gear-filled plastic tubs and fuel containers as well as allow my 2026 JL Wrangler to fit inside my garage. This low profile roof rack fit the bill perfectly. It came well packaged as a whole, with each piece wrapped individually for maximum protection. Assembly is pretty straightforward - the shorter bolts are used for the assembly of the rack itself, and the longer bolts are for the legs attaching the rack to the roof (rain gutters) of the Jeep. The assembly instructions are pretty basic but if you combine them with watching 2 or 3 of the YouTube videos online from various customers with this same rack, you shouldn’t have any problems assembling and placing the rack on your Jeep. Would definitely recommend a second person to help with placing the assembled rack on the Jeep. Again, I really like this rack, it’s very sturdy and well made, and it matches up perfectly with the Hooke Road side steps I put on my Jeep a few months ago.

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!)

Nice little rack and YES it does work with the Bestop Sunrider on the 4 door JLU. See picture attached, with the rack in this position the Sunrider does not touch it during use. Overall a nice decent quality rack for $300 price is is currently (June 2023). Rack comes disassembled in long box, weighs a little over 70 lbs. Box was beat up pretty good when I got it but no major damage to the rack beyond a few minor scratches. You have to be careful to not scratch it up when putting together, especially if on driveway or garage floor. I'd recommend you lay out a blanket or assemble in the grass or something. Mounting once assembled could be done by one guy if he's young and somewhat strong, but its a lot easier with two people to lift it up onto the roof of the Jeep. Once in place on roof it's fairly easy for one person to line up and tighten down, etc. I'd also recommend you inspect it carefully after assembly and be sure to touch up an scratched areas or it will rust....this is a STEEL rack meaning if you see bare metal it's going to rust. I used a small bottle of matte black rim paint on mine. Today, about a week after installing, I found a small rusted spot where I didn't touch up. Not a big deal, but something to keep eye on. Overall the rack looks great, seems sturdy enough to meet the 150 lb weight limit. I'll be mounting an awning to mine and possibly a shovel on the other side so I can look cool :)

Came missing one long screw and another long screw is defective. Manufacturer still has yet to respond to my email (via their website customer service). One of the rubber covers was also defective in size— too big— which causes it to fall off, which then scratched up my car paint. Yeah, I’m stoked about that. Especially since I have to cough up another $70 to touch-up all the damages that this POS rack caused. The biggest issue I have is the clamps that hold the rack in place are poorly measured. It overlaps the door frame, preventing the door from opening. I had to remove the (properly fitting rubber covers) and apply clear vinyl protective tape where the latches meet the car paint. This gave it enough room to allow my doors to open with very minimal friction, if any. But yes, ANOTHER additional cost for this roof rack. Simply the frustration of trying to send this massive parcel back to the silent manufacturer is a headache in itself. I’m still debating if it’s worth returning— my car is already damaged and I’ve spent additional money just to make this product acceptable. In the meantime, I’m still trying to find the right screws/bolts for two empty spots. It performs, but have yet to see how well when attaching bulky and heavy items. but other than that… it’s on my jeep. It is a little noisy, but not enough to be frustrated. This newer design has open areas for the air to flow versus its previous design.
