My MBRP rack arrived at work today and I got right to work.
Install was very straight forward. I think I spent about 2 hours on it, but it could have been done in less if I were at home with better tool selection.
Sorry for the mediocre photos... It was pretty gloomy out and I just used my phone. When the sun returns I'll take some better ones with my good camera.
I love how it looks! There is just a slight bit of wind noise at highway speed, but nothing major.
I also tested removal of the front freedom top panels... A little tricky, but not too bad at all. I just had to slide them out to the side, as the clamp above the sun visors could not clear the windscreen if I tried to lift the front and raise them off.

 

Looking good!

 

Your JK looks great! I'm glad to hear you got your rack installed without any hassle. Thats how it should be. Now lets see you load it up!

 

Looks good.

Are those light tabs on the front?

 

There are 6 tabs on each cross bar that can be used for mounting lights, cargo or our bolt on basket. The are laser cut and have slots in the front and back of each bracket. It makes it really simple to tie things down securely, or mount lights and still have tie down points.

 

that looks great!!!!!

 

Looks great!! Glad you like it!

Thanks for getting horwitzs set up David!

 

Does MBRP make the extensions to connect the 2dr roof rack to the MBRP windshield mounted light bar? That is the set-up I am looking for. Does anyone else have that set-up on a 2dr? If so, pics would be greatly appreciated.

 

That looks good.. as soon as I move out of this 6'5" parking lot, Im getting one of those!
