Product Details

Defender Platform Roof Rack Mount by Smittybilt®. Carry aftermarket accessories from Thule and Yakima on your Jeep or up to 300 lbs. of cargo with the SRC Roof Rack system. 2" diameter 0.120" wall thickness steel tubes with heavy-duty 3/16-1/4" brackets provide sturdy 4-point mounting support, with cross bars designed for most aftermarket accessories that are removable to allow easy soft or hard top removal. Add the lightweight aluminum Rugged Rack roof basket (sold separately) and you have the ultimate off-road rack/basket combination. All parts are given a dual stage textured black powdercoated finish for a great appearance and long-term durability.

Their compact design has made cargo carrying a challenge with Jeep Wranglers, and carrying anything on top has been out of the question…until now. While you're not exactly carrying cargo on the roof, the SRC Roof Rack at least lets you carry plenty of cargo overhead. The rack's sturdy 4-point mount system allows up to 300 lbs. of gear to be carried, evenly distributed, and the cross bars are designed specifically to enable accessories from companies like Thule and Yakima to be mounted. Now you can mount carriers for bicycles, skis, snowboards, and even watercraft.

The SRC Roof Rack is constructed from 2" diameter 0.120" wall thickness steel tubing with heavy-duty 3/16-1/4" brackets. For the best appearance and long-term durability, all rack parts are acid dipped to remove impurities, a special "E-Coat" is applied inside and out, and finally a dual stage textured black powder coat finish is applied. The rack attaches to the door mounts in front and the frame in the rear, and even comes with spacers in case a body lift kit has been installed. The cross bars are removable so the soft or hard top can be removed. Each rack is custom designed for the application to ensure a perfect fit, and contoured so it doesn't look "boxy".

This rack will go perfectly with other SRC tubular products. The lightweight aluminum 50" x 70'" Rugged Rack roof basket (sold separately) can be attached to the roof rack to make cargo carrying even easier. All necessary mounting hardware and illustrated instructions are supplied for an easy installation. The SRC Roof Rack is covered by a limited 5-year warranty against finish defects and a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Good Product For The Price
I was wondering about installation, but it's actually pretty easy to assemble and install. Unfortunately some of the coating got scraped of not sure if in shipping or in the warehouse.
