How did it go? My install was a shit show. So much extra work to get everything lined up, missing brackets (which they quickly replaced…sorta), and that rear transfer case bend was off slightly so it made life miserable. Ended up having to elongate the rear holes. Now that it’s installed it...
I love my Helinox. I’ve probably had it for 5-6 years and it’s always tucked in whatever I’m driving for any impromptu situations a chair might be enjoyable. Small and light if I need to carry it somewhere. I often forget it’s even in the truck it’s so small. Also like how it’s quick to set up...
I see the Broncover is for use with top off only. Rain Gear seems to have one for when you’re leaving the tops on. My use case is for a Bronco with top on and Trailrax/Pax. I’m thinking I’d like to keep the doors off in the summer when parking at work but want to keep any unexpected storm water...
You’re very welcome. Glad to pay back for all the help and information I get from others here. I have not yet made a final decision. If someone like Westin or EO had an aggressive Memorial Day sale, I might just come off the fence, or I may just get sick of waiting/hoping and put the great...
If that was true that would be great. The problem I have is my Trailrax is still in boxes. If I take it all out and assemble/install it, it instantly becomes harder to re-sell/my loss is bigger. So far, all the info I’ve gotten has been you can’t get it off with a trailrax. I wish I knew someone...
TOR= Turn Off Road Hardtop. Single piece targa is reported to make removal impossible with the Trailrax on. Your removal times are impressive and watching your posts on the topic over the past year have been informative. Especially your discovery about leaving the wind deflector on.
You’re welcome. If you would like to collect the data I’d be happy to add it. I didn’t prioritize the static and dynamic load rating a because they’re very suspect. For example, any rack that mounts solely to the top (most of them) is technically limited to Fords rating: “Max load 110 lbs...
That's a fair observation, and likely accurate;-). But I've got the extra cognitive spend available, and figured while I was working on a solution for myself, others might appreciate a consolidated list of options. If I had a magic wand I guess I'd like something modular with lots of options...
Yep. It's on the spreadsheet. No side rack. Very limited reviews. No idea about hardware composition. Zero information about static or dynamic load available (although I take that all with a grain of sand even if it is available). Attached are the only two pictures EO claims to have with it...
So don’t say I never did anything for ya:). Here’s a spreadsheet of a large number of the available roof racks available to us as of now, May 2024.

I’ll note, I built it based on my interests. I’m not interested in the half a dozen or so Chinese...
I was also wondering if anyone added this with the NVM diff cover? The ARB will not work. The NVM cover has no way to drain easily. This might work, and I could just drill a hole in the bottom of the NVM to allow access to the drain bolt on the bottom with little consequence. I’m just not sure...
Hello. Love your setup. Could you tell me how you like your Gobi rack? Any insights on things like wind noise and corrosion? Pluses and minuses? One of my primary concerns is it being steel tubing. I currently live in the north east. You can taste the salt in the air all winter.
Also, I’m...
Can any of you with the Mule provide any feedback? How’s the anodizing holding up in your environment? How’s the wind noise? Is the hardware stainless? Any problems with weight? Their pivot point is odd and I can’t figure out how it doesn’t fold under weight, but I like the option to open it so...
Just don’t make my same mistake. Just because it fits, don’t assume you’ll have full functionality. More specifically, you can’t remove the one piece TOR targa with a Trailrax (and most others including TOR’s) roof rack.
