JT Roof Rack = about a week away. Just buttoning up the install guide.
JT Overland Rack = about 3-5 weeks. Components are still being manufactured.
Will there be a tonneau cover option available with the overland rack at release? Any more info you can share about that?

I really hope you can incorporate some type of canvas cover for your full rack. It would mean the best of both worlds for many of us. The fall back with many racks is the amount of dust and dirt that gets all over your equipment in the rear bed. In order to avoid that, many of us are waiting for caps or camper shells that will support a RTT, The problem with the shells or caps that are out, most are just plain ugly and don't conform to the lines of the JT. Something with a canvas cover would hark back to the old Jeep Willy days and would give it a certain flair. The only canvas top out, looks good, but it has a weak frame that cannot support anything on top or on the sides.

1. Haven't heard yet if your full rack will support a roof top tent yet?
2. Inside molly panels option?
3. price range?

A few questions as I continue to plan my build and impatiently wait for your products to come available :CWL::

Roof rack:
- wanted to confirm the removal of the freedom panels are still functional. (Looks like it in the pics)
- does not work with bestop sunrider

Overland rack:
- does it work with the trail rails?
- in the pictures you show the aluminum plating that looks like ties into a trail rail system. Is this system the Mopar trail rail or your own system?

thanks in advance!

My questions about the time-frame/availability of a tonneau cover that works with the overland rack has been ignored as well. I am really starting to think a topper is the only way to go as far as bed storage with protection of gear from dust/rain/snow. I think I am going to move on from the bed rack idea completely, just doesn't seem to be anything that promising on the horizon as far as what I personally am looking for.

You might be right. I just saw a pic of the new Are cap/shell. Really looks good, conforms with the lines of the truck.

Except for the back of the topper should be vertical, not slanted. looks,,,,,"off" to me.

True... The one short coming if it, plus the side windows should open like a hatch for easy access.
That's why i got the Alu-Cab.
