Default anyone have this cargo rack?

I like this cargo rack and and probably going to pick it up but does anyone have it? I would love any feedback on it. I have done some searching but cant seem to find anything on it. When i saw the pics of the lower forty i loved how it had the cargo tray in back and this is pretty similar. Since its like 160 bucks i just would like some feedback before i spend the cash. thanks

looks good but also verify load ratings as well, to see if thats in your foreseeable range.

They say the max load rating for it is 75lbs. That isnt much but enough for me. It says it can be mounted a few different ways in back i was wondering if instead of the two arms attaching to the top rollbar if it would reach to straight out to the rollbar by the driver and passenger seat?

That looks like the Bestop rack which is made of plastic. Olympic makes a matching one that's made of metal that's rated to 200+lbs and not much more expensive to my understanding. What's nice about the Olympic is that it can double as an instatrunk as it's made of metal.

I have not seen this olympic rack where can it be found? Will it work for a 2 door? This is the only one i found that goes on a 2 door. It is made of plastic which i dont mind because i didnt plan on putting much weight in it and light enough to be moved in and out easily. I would like to check out the olympic one you are talking about first though. thanks

Like blazer4949 I bought the 2-door JK rack and adapted it for my 4-door, making it fit with the soft-top up or down. It's well worth the effort for the extra storage, every JK should have one !!! Here's a couple of pictures and there are more in my write-up on https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...t=bestop+cargo

It is certainly tough enough, ive had way more than 75lbs stacked on it - all the brackets (stock or adapted) are metal lengths+tubing so no worries of them snapping. To answer the above post, for 4-door owners, the similar Olympic rear cargo rack won't allow the soft-top to fold down into the space above the tailgate.

It's called the 907 Mountaneer by Olympic. You're right, it won't work on a 2 door JK but it will on a TJ. Probably due to the roll bar diffrences.
