I had not seen the EVO JT Half-rack... I like it. Can't decide on this one or the JCR Off Road rack... Can't seem to find anything as far as comparison of the two...
EVO
JCR Off Road
I did find a video where the owner installed an EVO... got to see more details that I had not seen...
That was my same reaction as well. When I started looking, I was seeing some outrageous prices for these units... I am talking in the range of US$600-1,000.00 !!! So when I saw this one for US$165.00 it was a no-brainer...
Factory auxiliary switches are not enough for all the lights that I will be installing. Looked for an 8 switch pod solution that would not break the bank...
I needed some additional mounts from Bulletpoint and noticed they had an 8-pod kit. So ordered the following:

With the help of my wife and some flange serrated nuts, managed to install the two upper corner bolts on the front RC molle panel.
Also, the two additional tie-downs arrived. Those are now installed as well.

I have not put them to use as I just installed them yesterday. But they are sturdy, well made and I like the cutouts for the lights and tie downs.
The one on the back... I am still dealing with installing the top corner bolts... access is a bit of a pain with the tonneau cover cassette back...
That back plate was not easy with all the tonneau cover parts in place... Of course I could not do the two upper center supports, but the rest is in and secured.
Rough Country molle panels (the side panels) installed. Was able to install the sides without having to remove the tonneau cover. That was good.
Ran out of daylight again and could not tackle the front panel... that one is going to be a pain in the a**. I will find out tomorrow after work...
I recently did this with a '22 Mojave that had 24K miles at the time I traded it in. But mine has an automatic tranny.
I do not regret at all the change. The 2024 feels better in every way for what I was looking for.
Yes, it is a mistake from the financial side. I took a hit of around...
Graphics arrived today!
Also all the lights and brackets... ran out of daylight... still need to run the wiring for all these lights...
Bed rack side lights installed:
Ditch and fog lights also installed:
