What Material Are The Towers Made Of On The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack For 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?

Question:

I have a question about the Rhino rack towers. Rhino-Rack system with 59inch Long Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA150B-2 and 8inch Tall Gutter Feet Are the towers constructed of plastic? They don’t look that sturdy. Thanks!

For the 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited hard top, the correct kit is Rhino Rack Vortex Aero Aluminum Cross Bars - Black - 59" Long # RRVA150B-2 with Leg Adapters # RRVA-FK1-2 and Feet # RRRL110S5-2. The towers are made out of plastic and are very durable; I have not seen any complaints about the towers breaking; a lot of roof racks use plastic towers.

Keep in mind, this system is rated for 88lbs on your Jeep so you do not want to exceed that amount. I attached a helpful demonstration video which shows this system being used on a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.
