Is anyone running the e-grilles roof rack with the basket. The price looks really good for the roof rack and basket ($600). If you Are how do you like it? Please post pictures.




Here is the ebay link

Also interested , how does it attach at the rear?

 

I just emailed them. I was wondering the same thing. Some here must be using this rack.

 

I just removed my Warrior roof rack and I'm looking to sell it if you are intrested

 

Here is my experience with them so far...

Egrilles JK grill. Horrible fit, not even close. Had to cut off all the mounting tabs and fabricate my own.
Entire grill had a massive twist that took quite a bit of persuasion to straighten out.

Egrilles engine skid plate, same story. Holes didn't line up, no instructions and not enough mounting hardware.
Had to drill, fabricate and bend more than one part for proper fitment.

Rust. Their parts rust quickly. The crinkle paint is just that, paint. It's not powder coating so it scratches easily and the mild steel will rust within 24 hours.
On a skid plate who cares, on a roof rack it might be more of an issue. If you JK is white, it could stain the paint.

With that said for the money their products are on par with Smittybuilt, Rough Country and Truck and Winch stuff..

Grinder, drill, pry bar and a can of paint has fixed most of the shortfalls I've run into.

 

If you're looking for some other options in the same price range, check out the Barricade Roof Rack and Barricade Roof Rack Basket. PM me for a quote but I can right in the price range you're currently looking in and these have gotten some good reviews. A lot of the racks I see have a 300 lb weight limit at the max, but this one is 350 lbs. It mounts to the frame in the rear and the windshield hinge in the front. The cross bars are removable to allow for taking the soft top up and down or the hard top off.

Let me know if you're interested or if you have any other questions!

Will this roof rack work with an aev snorkel ?

 

It doesn't look like those two will fit together. The roof rack mounts to the windshield hinge so it would interfere with your snorkel.

Do you have any pictures of it on your rig? How is the back mounted? Is it the frame or to the body? What's the weight rate on it? Thanks in advance.

 

Hey Ryan

I checked out the Barricade RoofRack. It looks like a nice rack.
Looking through the instructions I was wondering about the mounting of it.
I see its optional to mount it to the body by drilling holes, but how does the rack assemble (and attach) if I decide not to drill into the body? I have a 2Dr.
Does that also reduce the max capacity of the rack?
