Trail rail or clamp version?

Trail rail or clamp version?

Comes with both mounting "systems" in the box, but I went with the clamp as I don't have the trail rail option.

I dig this rack! Will be my first add on (of course after I actually get my JT).

Could you post up some nakeds of her?

I would like a rack like that but I run naked through the streets and I think it may look a bit odd.

Lmao
I will once the temps drop a bit. I don't see myself taking the top off on the Gladiator much, but the doors come off frequently

It looks great!

I'd love to see how it clamps and hear your thoughts on that mounting method. Looking to run my rooftop tent on a bed rack.

That looks awesome. I would love a bed rack but I need the hard tonneau security for my in bed storage more. Haven't seen any options that would allow for both.

Are there any hard shell tents that would work with the half racks?

How about some advice? You have monster tires on your JT so I assume you have a Tazer or Superchips to set it up with. Mine has 36" tires and a lift. It seems to me that more than the tire size needs to be set considering changing tire size also changes gear ratio and what about the transfer case setting. I have to get on the freeway to see 8th gear and stock was about 45 mph. What settings do you use? How about some advise?

I have a Tazer to calibrate tires size TPMS threshold etc... 35's & 37's don't really bother me with the factory 8spd, but anything larger and 8th gear becomes somewhat useless.
I have a set of Fusion 4x4 axles on order with 5.38 gears. On my wife's JLU we have 5.13's with her 40's and it performs great(She has a 6spd)
With the 41" tires, 8spd and factory 4.10's I only see 8th above 70-75mph on completely flat roads.

Looks great! I have the same rack and love it. I installed some lighting on mine last week that turned out nice. Hooked up to the factory AUX switch makes it so easy!

That looks great! Is that a Smittybilt tent? How much above the roof-line does it sit when closed?

I added some Rotopax containers to mine today, waiting on a set of Maxtrax for the other side.

Thanks! Looks great with the rotopax and maxtrax.
Yes, it's the Smittybilt tent. Here's a pic of it closed.

Thanks for the pic.
Looks like the tent portion is fairly even with the top, but the ladder may prevent me from being able to pull into the garage.
