Difference Between Rhino-Rack Pioneer With or Without Backbone 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Question:
I have a 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and I'm interested in the Pioneer platform rack from Rhino Rack. What's the difference between getting the backbone system with the Pioneer? Is it worth it?

Expert Reply:
The biggest difference between the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack that uses the Backbone system vs the one that doesn't is that the Backbone system more or less offers a whole skeleton body for the platform rack to connect to as opposed to just connecting to a roof rack on your 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. This means that you'll get a better weight capacity out of the platform so if you plan on using it a lot and loading it up then I definitely recommend going with the Backbone system.
For your application I recommend going with the kit # RR88FM because it comes with feet that can easily be removed (when unlocked) so that you can take the platform rack off quickly if the need ever arises.
Attached are some installation instructions for you to check out.
