Been doing a lot of comparison and I’m going with Rhino Rack for sure. Anyone have these on their JT? The kits recommend 59” crossbars, but the jeep is closer to 54”, which they also offer.

I'm ordering mine today! For those that ordered the carpet kit...is it worth it? What advantages does the carpet add?

My Mojave has the factory spray in liner.

Thank you!!!!

Carpet was free in mine, but it adds a little insulation, sound deadening and gives you a way to secure wiring runs (velcro)

I have the Rhino Rack 59" bars directly on my bed (to rails on the mx4 tonneau). they work perfectly, not sure if the topper flares in much but I do think it might be tight with 54" so probably safer with the 59"

Same as above, and additionally, for my dogs, it’s necessary. I’m not having them inhale or get any fiberglass in their mouth/paws. Well also be camping in it, so that too. It’s worth it in any case, unless you plan on applying some insulation to the fiberglass, or your cap will only be housing gear/tools.

Also, whichever way you go, I’d vacuum it out as soon as you receive it. Came to me pretty dirty from the factory

Thanks for the reply- I went with the black 59”. You’re right; 54” would’ve fit by a couple inches, but it would be pretty narrow looking. Also makes it harder to install an awning. Got a third crossbar with gutter mounts for the hard top that’ll actually line up pretty nicely, but waiting on spacers.

Super happy with the accessory support, though. Really nicely designed

Thank you for the replies. Mine is ordered...rear slider window, carpet, bed rug and roof rails!

Now just need to wait 8-10 weeks. Anybody's come in faster than expected?

I ordered a CX Classic on March 1st and was quoted 8-10 weeks, pinged them for an update earlier this week and it's sounding more like mid-June for shipping on mine, anyway. Looking forward to it, even if the delay is a little disappointing.

Carpet helps with condensation as well if you sleep in the bed. you wont get droplets hitting you in the face.

Picked up this cap a few days ago. Not sure of all the specs but it seems to have everything. Local place had it brand new for $1795. They said it was a factory new second but I can’t find anything wrong with it. It’s granite crystal now but I will be bed lining it in the next couple weeks. Got tired of tools and material getting stolen out of my truck.
