Jeep JK - Grab a Rack
Chris Duncan shows how easily the gas shocks lift JK Racks' tilt-away roof rack. Unscrew the rubber knobs holding the rack down, and fling up the rack. To bring it back down, JK Racks provides a limiting strap (the model pictured is a prototype that did not feature the limit strap).
With the top open, you now have full access to the top of your vehicle to remove your soft-top cover if need be. Although the prototype wasn't ready at the time of our photo shoot, Chris tells us he is ready to release an awning version of this rack as well. The basket will swing completely over and lock into place, providing an awning to keep you and your family out of the sun at your favorite camping spot.
How cool is this? Even with 35-inch-tall tires, Chris was able to safely get his JK into his average-size garage with the roof rack installed.
Here is a two-door JK with a JK Racks tilt-back roof rack installed. JK Racks sells both a stationary and tilting version of its two-door rack. All racks for all models are made in the USA.
For those of you who really want your new rack to match the lines of your factory rollcage, JK Racks is also producing a hatchback version of its rack.
One of JK Racks' customers took us for a ride through the Anza-Borrego Desert, showing us just how useful his new rack was in the dirt.
