Trail days on a Gladiator mean washboard, ruts and tight trees, and a roof rack that only clamps to the hardtop gives you a lot to worry about with a load up top.
This Rhino-Rack kit fits the Backbone, a support structure that runs inside the Jeep, and mounts two black 59 in Vortex overhang bars on low-profile RCL locking legs. It is weight rated up to 100 kg (220 lb), suitable for heavy off-road use and tested to AS1235-2000. The bars can be removed, and molded insert cover pads close the mounts when the bars are off. QMVA spacers raise the height if needed.
Allow about 2.5 hours to install, then load the roof and go. The rack stays solid on rough ground and comes off when it is not needed.
