Rhino-Rack Backbone Mounting System for Jeep JK Wrangler
Internal roof reinforcement engineered to safely carry serious overland loads.
The Rhino-Rack Backbone Mounting System is a vehicle-specific internal reinforcement solution designed for the Jeep JK Wrangler hard top. Installed beneath the roof, the Backbone system connects three internal support plates per side, extending the vehicle’s roof structure to safely distribute weight and support heavier rooftop loads.
Internal roof reinforcement • 264 lb load rating • Jeep JK specific • Platform & crossbar compatible
