The Hilift Jack Holder is a TeraFlex

I also added the RotoPax mount

Then the mounts holding the Shovel and Axe are from Jeep Swag

I will add an update to the thread

Fitted my Sharpwrax roof rack and went wheeling with it to see how it was while out in the bush, all went well and there were no clearance issues which is what I was checking for.



Started to get items mounted in place while waiting for the official Sharpwrax mounting brackets to arrive, mounted 2x 4led working lights to the rear for use in setting up camp in the evening as we have no daylight saving time in Queensland in Australia so its dark at 6pm, also mounted the side awning to make sure its final positioning was good and then mounted 2 x 20L fuel can holders to the Yakima Mega Warrior rack. Any light bars and items like awnings ,shovels, axes and highlift jacks I'm making sure are mounted to the Sharpwrax rack directly so that when im running with out the Mega Warrior cage these items are still able to come along with me.









I tried the spotlights tonight and they light up a far bit at the back of the Jeep, plenty of light for setting a campsite at night, I have also placed a order for a full set of Evo skid plates for my JK and some Trailskins to help protect the paint from all the scratches some of the bush causes here in QLD Australia.

When I get the proper mounting brackets ill do an update.

Cheers Stephen

Managed to get some time back on the Sharpwrax now all the final bits have arrived

Steve sent up some new rear brackets to replace the ones with the holes in the wrong place and also the awning brackets and rear light brackets, fitted the new rear brackets and they now work great, fitted the awning brackets and also the light brackets and put the rack back on the Jeep to see how it all looked, final thing to do was to see how well it tilted back as this was the main reason I went with Steve's Sharprax roof rack.



Light brackets

Awning brackets


Now to to tlit the rack back I have to undo the 4 torX bolts at the front and 4 bolts at the rear and then just raise the rack.




Right back


It took two of us to get it right back but from this point one can hold it while the other folds down the soft top, I had to hold it where it was as it could drop further and im not sure if the hinge can go much more, im going to suggest to Steve that he makes some sort of leg that you can put under the back and take down to the rear bar that will hold it where it is so you can both remove the soft top while leaving the rack held in the vertical.

Next we lowered the rack back and checked everything lined up, we had a small issue with the rear bolts being slightly out of alignment but with some fiddling we managed to get them back in, I have made a suggestion to Steve to slot these holes as this will help with alignment, within the hour he had made the changes to the master drawing, Steve has been great this way and has listened to all my constructive feed back and looked at my issues and dealt with them in a very professional manner, you cant beat that for service.

So thats it all done, I'm very impressed with the rack for a SWB Jeep its the best option on the market for the price and really does become part of the Jeep once bolted on, it solid on the trails and does not rock side to side like some of the others, its built well and is made to last, it can carry a lot too and a roof top tent is a real option now, I will give it a 9/10 it has turned my SWB jeep into a Jeep we can easily do a couple of weeks away camping in now.

I wont leave it on the Jeep all the time though as with all things like this it can add some wind noise to a car and its so easy to take off and put on it really only needs to go on for trips, next up is to get a 30" single light bar to mount to the front of the rack and then get all the lights wired up properly.

Nice looking JK and set up! Looks as though you still have front end rake with all that gear. What springs, etc. are you running?
