@604Bronco I just added a reply to a similar post that you may find useful. I too was looking for something that wasn’t just a “sticker”, and found these nice looking plastic ones for $34. They were super easy to install, durable, protect the edge, and look great. There’s no interference with...

I was looking for something that would hold up to abuse and look good. I had some clear protectors before, I think they were strips of PPF from the dealership, and eventually they showed scratches and looked like my paint was beat to hell. I thought those “sticker” ones would eventually tear...

So, I took their advice and added an extra layer of rubber padding as well as a small amount of felt to each foot of the rack. Just as I suspected it didn’t do anything. The problem is not a rattle against the roof, it’s air flowing through/around the rack and it pulsates against the HT...

That’s definitely very nice looking, and I’ve heard good things on here about your tops. Can I leave it on with the HT? If so, how easy is it to do?

The BestTop that I have (assuming yours is the same) has zippers that allow you to get access to all of the latches to take the top off/on. So I’m pretty sure you just keep it on all the time, which I like. I know some folks have put blankets in between the bimini and the HT to act as an...

I have the canvas top that came with truck and I was planning to install it soon. However, I was wondering if I should get a mesh one instead to increase the “open” feeling. I’m in CA, so I’m not too concerned about rain randomly coming down. I’m more concerned about the sun. For those of...

I like that top he put together, it looks really good. I just wish it had the zippers so that I can just leave it on when I put the HT back up again.

You have about 12” of clearance on the top portion between the edge/lip of the shelf and the opening of the HT. You could fit more up there if you go from behind (from the 2nd row). Then you have 22 1/8 “ clearance underneath. So you should have plenty of room for your storage boxes.

Oh man, what happened? I had tried calling their phone number before but it didn't work. Also, they answer their email at like 2 AM so that leads me to believe their operations are off-shore even though they have a US address.

Oh yeah, I found it on a youtube video of some folks doing a review of the Hooke-Road Bronco Rack. The code is OBL5, and maybe they get a little something extra for people using it too, it's a win-win-win :)

So far, I plan on keeping it, but the jury is still out. I'll let you know if I plan to keep it, I guess I have a few weeks left to return it, but would rather just see someone else get it. I've seen some DIY ones that look much easy to get on/off when I take off the top, so maybe I'd go that...

Ah yeah, that makes sense. So far it doesn't seem like I need it for noise, but maybe it's there to stop scratching the hardtop.

I was thinking of using that space to put sleeping bags, duffle bags, maybe some smaller cargo boxes, suitcases, etc and put the heavier items below (i.e ice chest, heavier cargo boxes, etc). Will the cargo boxes on top not be good?

If you are asking what the height is between the tray and the bottom of the roll bar above it, that measurement is about 13 7/8". But note that there is a ton of space where the roll bar is not above the shelf, probably 85% of it goes up to the roof. Let me know if that isn't clear, or if you...

How would you get the rack for free? When I was ordering mine, I could get it if I didn't have a fully loaded BL. Here is a screenshot of my order and you can see it was $365. Here is an aftermarket one that looks like the OEM one...

@Broncsquatch 1. I removed the rear piece, and the vibrations/acoustic rumbling seemed to go down, but is still present. 2. I removed the front fairing, and the rumbling went away. But now the pressure issue has been replaced by a constant whistling like I had the back window open slightly...

Reviving this thread.... I am looking at this shelf compare to the one I bought, does it require you to remove it before taking the hard top on/off? The one I bought has side brackets that get bolted down by the same bolts that hold down the top. I was hoping for something that didn't have to...

Mine didn't have the foam attached, they were rolled up inside the box. I wasn't sure where those were supposed to go. Was it under the left and right metal brackets to go between the metal and the hardtop, or somewhere else? So right now I'm foam free :)

Hey I bought a similar rack from Hooke-Road, and while I love the way it looks, almost identical to the one you have from JC, it makes a slightly buffering noise inside - sort of like when you have just the front window rolled down. Something is not quite right. Do you experience any issues...

Oh here is the other half-rack I saw for $647 now, it looks almost identical. I wonder if anyone on here has installed it and has the same issues we had...
