The Backbone adds support to your factory hard top so you can carry more gear on your roof rack. Provides mounting points for a Pioneer Platform or up to 2 Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero or Heavy-Duty crossbars.This product is excellent but the instruction have a lot to be desired
Way better for camper shells than track s.
It’s the bomb. Great design. Well made.
Nice and sturdy but was a PIA to install… prepare to give yourself a few hours to button this up securely on your roof.
Quick, A+ thanks
Best price on the part. Fast shipping. The install video made it a breeze. Rhino rack was a little lazy with the written directions and stamping all the parts. The etrailer video for 2015 JKU was needed.
Best backbone I could find for a custom build. Flat lower profile more practical for my needs. Thanks guys!
Just as I had expected. Top quality and no rust. A bit scary drilling the holes in your top but all went well. Their anti theft allen screws could use an upgrade.
Great quality and was easy to install as the directions were simple to follow.
The backbone rails look great! However, the instructions need to be revised to include information that is Armada specific. Instructions for removal of factory rack is not included and not available anywhere I could find on the internet. It’s almost impossible to remove the end caps on the factory rack without destroying the tabs that hold them in place. Also, the middle connection point of the backbone has 2 bolts, the factory rack only has one. However, the second hole is there but you must remove the trim piece that sits below the factory rack. It’s simple to remove and reinstall without damaging the clips. In order to make the backbone rails fit, you have to cut an additional couple of inches from the existing window in the trim piece in order to expose the second hole underneath. This is pretty simple with the right saw but some additional instructions on this would be helpful. Overall, this is a great product, just need to make customers aware of the extra steps needed on the Armada vs the installation on the Nissan Patrol.
This system is great. Have a 6’ rack mounted to it and it easily supports 200-300lbs of dynamic load a d 700+ static load without issue.
I love how this rack system uses the existing holes in the roof for mounting. Exactly what I was looking for. It makes for a very clean look.
Product was exactly what was expected with no damage or defects. E-trailer staff were very helpful and informative in regards to the status of the order.
Always great products by RhinoRack and excellent service from eTrailer….!
The product I ordered from etrailer arrived in tact and and in good timing.
This is a pretty great platform. It has held up fine, doesn't leak, and wasn't too bad to install myself. It looks nice, and is there when I need it.
Perfect fit and finish for 2016 Chevrolet Suburban.
