Looking for a roof rack for your Jeep that looks great and works even better?
I've just released my brand-newly
designed, round tube version of the old-fashioned roof utility
rack that every Jeep owner needs at one point in time or
another. This this thing is built like no other...sturdy,
solid, and lightweight (59 - 68 lbs depending on version).
I've over-built it so that you'll have room for suitcases,
Rubbermaid containers, your Hi-Lift jack, spare tire,
and whatever else you need to fit up there. It also offers
many
exclusive features that no other rack does;
one being the steel mesh
flooring is left open
above the moonroof area to let the sunshine stream in!! (modular front mesh
flooring available
also, as well as a fully-welded mesh floor for those without moonroofs!!)
It features four built-in
forward-facing light tabs, two built-in rearward facing light
tabs, includes an integrated Hi-Lift mount on one side, shovel
mount on the other, and an integrated spare tire mount that will
accommodate up to a 37" tire up top! Click
HERE to compare features and prices
with the other top selling racks on the market. I currently have a
mounting system for all models of WJ and ZJ, and the later model XJs
with the newer triangular style roof rails (~'92 and up?).
This rack is EXTREMELY labor intensive to
build with
it's numerous compound bends and fish-mouthed tube angles, and would run you
well over a thousand bucks to replicate it
at a local tubing-fab shop IF you already had the mechanical
drawings complete (which would cost you several hundred bucks
also). To keep the cost down, I'm running
these in batches, so chances are I'll have them in stock when you're ready
to order. The rack is powder coated in 80% gloss black
(a.k.a. black satin semi-gloss), and other colors are
available for a $100 charge.
My $759.97 price INCLUDES mounting hardware to attach it
to your factory roof rails at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE, while some
of the
other guys charge upwards of $75 for roof mounts
(SURE, like you could somehow use the rack WITHOUT
mounting it, LOL). If you compare apples to apples with other
racks, I KNOW you'll find that this is an EXTREMELY fair price,
carries Kevin's typical reputation for overbuilding, and looks cool and unique enough to get your
rig noticed on the trail AND around town. It's a
KevinsOffroad.com exclusive...no one else has anything that
looks like this or offers these features, especially at this
price. Dimensions are approximately 73" x 40" x 7" at it's
tallest and widest. It will extend upward about 7" taller
than the top of your factory roof rail (without a spare tire
mounted on top), and 1" MORE than the WIDTH of the tire (laying
down) at the center of the rack, if you want to measure it out
for your garage.
On a difficulty scale from 1-10, the
install is a 3. The first time to mount it up will
probably take you an hour or so, but after the mounts are
securely in place, it'll take one guy about 10 minutes (easier
with a helper) to unbolt the rack and take it off / put it back
on the roof if you needed to remove it for some reason
(clearance or whatever).
Since almost everything is
included already, the only upgrade you need to consider is
whether you always want to keep
the wire mesh flooring open above the moonroof area for an
unobstructed view of the stars, or if you want to add an additional 7.25 ft.²
of stowage capacity which
only takes 5 minutes to remove whenever you'd like your view
back. Alternately, you can have a fully-welded floor as
well.

Currently, we are building the
racks on an order-only basis and a rotation-cycle
every 3-4 months, as demand requires. We may
have a rack left over from the last batch, but no
guarantees. We will be building our next batch
in March, 2008. In order to put you on the list,
we require a $100 deposit to get you in line, and then
we will ship them out on a first-come-first-served
basis. Click below to send your deposit along to
