Any chance for some updated pics and details on the canvas cover?
Be well and hope guys get out of this well.
Not at this time. Soon after quarantine we will have the photos you are looking for.
Maximus-3 is healthy and well. We hope you all are staying safe out there.

Our "Sports Bar bed rack" is completely independent from the hardtop, they do not touch.
Our "JT Roof Rack" is mounted through the hardtop to the factory sportsbar.
thanks for the reply, now that I look closer I can see that plate is bolted/screwed to the front sports bar. Upon initial observation that front sports bar against the cab blended really well with the drivers side rear.

Couldn't take the wait any longer, covid or not, life goes on. Luckily, Rebel Off Road sells a decent half rack here in California and are still open like many other businesses. Their half rack is a beast, very well built and comes with lots of molly panels and cross bars out of the box. Took me a few hours to get it on, but it went up easy with no issues. RTT next!
good luck with a “decent” rack! I’m going to keep on waiting for better than decent rack ;)

Just poking fun! :LOL:. Do you gave a build thread? Want to see how it came out!

In the wake of no new photos due to Shutdown (which I understand), hope to at least see announced pricing soon. As I see it, the features all seem to be there, and any improvements done post SEMA would just be icing on the cake. All I need is the price so I can go, "perfect, exactly what I wanted, I'm happy to wait for however long it takes" or, "more than I planned, I'll go with one of my lesser options"....if the price is right I don't care how long I wait because I've got the solution. But I'm at the point I need to make a decision and can't hold out hope much longer.
Betting I'm not the only one in the boat (but safely 6ft apart, of course).

Yep... That's where I was for a long time but finally made another choice. Life goes on. Admittedly they are in a tough spot with that Governor of theirs. She has everything on lock down. Nuts. Lots of businesses are going to go under because of her.

Sounds like things were pretty rough in Michigan. They had the third largest death rate in the country. The governor recently reopened retail businesses partially. I would think that means that we should be seeing pictures soon if they actually have stuff ready to go.

Looking at the order that exists now, I’m really not seeing a reason why they shouldn't be able to send pics soon. I wish them the best of luck.

Or prices...next steps in the build are seriously hinging on finding the cost.

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately we are still on lockdown in the great state of Michigan. We have been forced to be closed for over a month now.

Our goal is to have these racks ready to ship 30-days after we are legally allowed to re-open. I know waiting is not fun at all, but in reality Maximus-3's hands are tied at the moment. Hopefully our lovely governor will come to her senses soon.

Wish everyone health and happiness. We can't wait to get back to it and finally release these racks.

I can appreciate the lock-down circumstances you are in, and also appreciate the status up-date (30 days after opening sounds great)...but the governor isn't stopping you from naming a price.

Any chance we get to know that soon? Again, it'll be either perfect and people will be happy to wait, or allow them to move on to other choices. Ordering RTT in the next 3/4 days, and really need to know which rack it's going on.

I'm hoping the best for all of you guys up there. One of my former soldier's and family are there dealing with it too. I seen that quite a few people are getting fed up with it. I know it's really hard on all there, killing off small and family businesses. The mega stores don't mind it's helping them in long run.

I was in the same situation. They lost my sale because of this as I went to another vendor.
Well after all that I have spent over last few months on mine I can wait some time, let alone the other stuff I have bought in last 6 weeks. At least it wasn't on T.P. or other panic buying.

We have estimated pricing many times on this thread. Estimation is the best we can do until the first batch is fully complete, then we can analyze the cost of goods per unit on a production batch scale.

Maximus-3 is making (arguably) the most premium JT rack on the market, it's going to have a premium price tag. That is because we use: superior materials, American manufacturing/craftsmanship, dual-coat finish, premium hardware.

If you don't want to buy a premium rack, there are plenty of sub-par options out there.

I've been following the thread for a long time so thought I missed an announcement. Went back and read every post...closest to a price was on on Feb 18 when you told someone to "call for a good estimate". To be fair, I think maybe on another thread you called it comparable to others, but that is just from memory.
It's going to have a premium price tag.
We don't doubt nor fear that, its the first that's been noted to my knowledge. Thank you. Remains to be seen are we talking premium pricing in reference to what.

Thanks for the snark. Pretty sure customers are just trying to get the best information as they plan major purchases.

I've been involved in manufacturing, so I have a pretty good idea of the work and planning that goes in to national and international production. In no project have I been involved in that has been (what appears) to be this close to production without the ability to give a refined estimate.

I'll step out of the thread; still love the looks of the product and I look forward to it's release. Best of luck.

That is about as subpar of an answer that any manufacturer could give, ( in my opinion)

To be fair, there has been a lot of snark directed at them in this thread. Not calling you out, because I can't recall who it came from and I don't care enough to go find it. I think @Maximus-3 has been pretty patient with people asking the same questions over and over that have already been answered, just as we have been patient with them to finally release. I understand both sides as I think everyone is getting a bit chippy from cabin fever when we'd all prefer to be out wheeling and camping.

At this point, if you can't wait: don't. Just buy something else that suits your needs. For those who aren't on a tight schedule before a planned trip: they will release it when they feel it meets their standards. From what I've seen of their products, they are top-notch and that is probably because they take the time to ensure the design has been properly thought through. Not saying the other racks out there aren't, but they certainly aren't as refined as this one (in my opinion).
