Rugged and built to last, this roof rack system from Exposed Racks is a perfect fit for your outdoor lifestyle and an excellent complement to your vehicle. Thanks to the incredibly simple, no-drill installation, you'll be carrying your rooftop tent and recreational equipment in no time.
This system includes click-in mounting points, which let you use accessories from Exposed Racks that make it easier to load up gear for your trips. Unlike channel mounted accessories on typical crossbars that use bolts, clamps, or knobs, these click-in accessories install in just a few seconds. They simply push into the mounting points and lock into place using push pins.
From load stops to paddle holders, these easy-to-use accessories ensure you can carry a wide variety of cargo. You can also adapt carriers and mounts from other brands so they can take advantage of these mounting points, using Exposed Rack's diverse selection of mounting plates. The plates have channels, similar to some crossbars, that allow you to mount your accessories directly to them. Once the accessory is installed on the plate, simply drop it into the bar's click-in mounting points. The rack also accommodates clamp-on carriers that are compatible with square crossbars.
This roof rack is capable of carrying a rooftop tent that uses clamps to attach to crossbars. By following the tent manufacturer's instructions, you can install your rooftop tent to the front and rear bars using the clamps and hardware included with your tent. The middle bars don't connect to the tent, however they do help support the tent's weight. Also, each crossbar uses weight distribution feet that help evenly disperse the load across your roof.
Since these crossbars use click-in mounting points, you have the option to use 6 Exposed Racks mounting plates (ER93FR - sold separately) to attach your rooftop tent. This lets you easily detach your tent from the roof rack, so you can quickly free up the crossbars for other cargo when needed. The plates use the included hardware to connect to the tent rails, then drop into the mounting points on the bars. However, the plates in the middle crossbars don't install to the tent, but they serve as spacers and help support the weight.
This system installs over the roof of your vehicle. Using only hand tools, the brackets install to the raised side rails. Then, the weight distribution feet are screwed into the threaded holes on the bottom of each crossbar. Lastly, the crossbars are placed in the brackets and tightened down with the included hardware.

Review from a similar Exposed Racks Roof Rack in Roof Rack
I bought the ER rack for my 2011 2-door Jeep JK. It is high quality, sturdy, and very quick and simple to install or remove. I have used it to transport my windsurf board and mast 20 - 30 times at highway speed with no issues.
Rack spacing for a 2-door Jeep is 24 inches, which is adequate for my 9.6 ft board.
Note: I had to buy nuts and extra spacers to bolt the front rack to my Jeep frame. Since I bought the Jeep used, it's possible that some pieces had been removed from the rollbar.

Looks very sharp and it’s very practical, not to mention super easy to install. Love the fact it has easy to snap optional accessory.

From Md zig zagging across the country, down to the keys. No problems. Kept the straps tight with 2 Hobie kayaks. Rode on rough roads with Jeep with kayaks on the roof without issues. Highly recommended.

The rear bar runs directly over the satellite antenna and interferes with the signal. Pins instead of bolts to hold them in the mounting brackets would be better so the bars can be removed when on in use.

etrailer always ships quickly and I've ordered from them multiple times. In this case, some of the hardware was missing from the original shipment (from the manufacturer). etrailer quickly responded and got me the parts I needed in less than a week, and the new roof rack looks great.

Did not come with the nuts and bolts to assemble. Using temporary bolts until I can correctly size the right bolts.

They delivered 2 rear bracket packages instead of including the front and rear. So I’ve not been able to install it yet. I’m thinking of sending it back as o couldn’t put it on to use it when I wanted to. Sorry about that. But we were pretty disappointed

Easy install, perfect fit. Mounted my ski rack and was able to clear the garage door. It would not clear with the Thule load bars. the low profile is quieter too.

Excellent customer service. Mounting bolts were missing from the kit. Had them in two working days from emailing. Immediate response to email.
Review from a similar Exposed Racks Roof Rack in Roof Rack
So far, so good. Just received these and they appear solid and beefy-they are heavier than most. The package they came in was mutilated and had obliviously been re-taped. Both of the cardboard tubes had their end caps blown out and the cross bars loose in the package probably caused the damage to the box. To their credit, only 1 of the plastic end caps showed slight damage. Both inner boxes containing the mounting brackets appeared to have been cut with a box cutter. The bolts used to connect the brackets to the crossbars were missing. I called customer service and was told replacements would be shipped. I have not yet received them and as such have not mounted the rack on my ‘21 Gladiator and cannot speak to the process or fit. UPS has done the testing on the finish and I’m happy to report the crossbars passed! I’m looking forward to the increased versatility these should provide.

Excellent customer service! My initial order arrived missing one of the two pieces shipped. The box the piece was shipped in seemed to have gotten mangled in transit and the piece was missing. I worked with the folks at etrailer and they promptly shipped me the part again…received it yesterday!

Gives you the utility of a hardtop with the freedom of a soft top. Awesome product! Hauls my Old Town Sportsman kayak (76lbs) all summer long.
Review from a similar Exposed Racks Roof Rack in Roof Rack
Everything that etrailer was involved in was awesome. Great communication. The only negative was the condition of the exterior box and how the carrier handled the package. The external and internal packing had been damages by the carrier.
