Question:

I'm looking at the rhino rack aero bars and gutter mounts for my 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with a hardtop but is that really the weight rating, 88 lbs? That seems rather low.

Expert Reply:

You are correct, the Rhino-Rack SG Roof Rack for Rain Gutters with Vortex Aero Crossbars, # RRSG59 that you linked to is 88 lbs. But don't worry, we have other options. I suggest you consider the Rhino-Rack Backbone roof rack system that starts with the, Backbone System, # RRRJLB1 using Rubber Bases, # RRQMFK06, Spacer Blocks, # RRQMHD05-2 and Quick Mount Legs, # RRRLT600 along with 59" HD Crossbars, # RB1500B-2. This will provide you a heavier rating of 175 lbs. however, please check the owner's manual to ensure you don't exceed the weight capacity of the Jeep's roof.
