Aw I got really excited when I saw that my rubicon had the plastic bumper pieces. I really don't want to get a new aftermarket bumper. Do you think fabricating a new mount is do-able? I'd have to find someone with a tube bender but if we could make a custom mount that bends between the plastic bumper inserts, it really doesn't seem too far off to make it work.
If you have someone that can bend and weld pipe, it should be doable. There was also an included optional mount that would have bolted the cage to the body that I could have used but didn't.
@@chrisdobbs9155 how do you like your roof rack so far? I am debating getting this one, but seems like there is a few things that come along with the install
Are you able to take off the hard top by sliding it out the back with the roof rake on?
It's theoretically possible, but I just take the back half off because it makes it easier to move around and carry the top.

Really makes me realize I need to wash my Jeep 🤣
I need to wash it soon. Winter here was long and dirty.
Could you link me the kayak mounts you used?
Can't figure out how to link from the phone but it's just the cheap ones from the Home Depot website.
What rear bumper did you go with?
Smittybilt SRC carbine
@@chrisdobbs9155 i feel like i asked a dumb question because I’m watching your video now where you install it lol
@@alecrichardson7300 it's cool. I watch my metrics, very few people watch them all the way through lol.

@@alecrichardson7300 seems fine so far, haven't really loaded it with anything other than kayaks yet.
