OVS Freedom bed rack on a JT?

[545moose]

Anyone running one and how's it working out? I just picked up a 2020 Gladiator Rubicon and plan to run a hard-shell tent up top, so I need to be able to clear the cab. My JT does NOT have the integrated bed rails, so I'm all ears to other options that get me to the roofline and beyond. Open to suggestions, TIA.

I've had mine for about 9 months and have liked it. It's very solid once it's all put together. I have a Truxedo Pro X 15 cover with the Elevate TS Rails...so the rack is mounted to the TS Rails. The cover just clears the towers when rolling it up.

You can always do the diy bed rails.

Looks great! Not know what I want to do long term (cap or not) I don't want to spend a fortune on a rack just to hold my tent. This rack seems sturdy and it's priced reasonably. I'll look around some more but will get one on order shortly once I decide. Any idea how tall the rack has to be to clear the cab? I'd go measure but didn't drive my rig today.

Looks like just over 22" from the bedrails will clear my hardtop. I like the OVS rack because it's pretty easy to adjust it up and down depending on what I need.

Nice! I’m looking at a similar setup. Any close up pictures of the base attaching to the Elevate rails?

also, at the lowest setting how high is it? I barely clear the parking garage at work as it is.

It's under the hardtop at it's lowest setting so you should be good...not sure of the measurement though because mine is currently set just over the hardtop.
