Roof racks

[Yaak392]

Before anybody with experience putting a overland type roof rack on a 392.

Correction... I'm looking for someone who has put a overland type roof rack on a 392.
Darn voice to text...

Haven’t done so myself, but I’d consider the Rhino or Maximus 3… I tend to lean towards Rhino

I don’t think the Maximus fits on the raised hood/windshield of the 392, just yet.

I was looking at the Front Runner roof rack, but they told me they hadn't fit tested it on a 392. Didn't know that it would fit.

I've run into two impediments to my roof rack ambitions on my 392.

1. The hood is obviously not the same as other JL hoods. I suspect Mojave owners have similar fitment issues.
2. I have the Sky One Touch Roof.

I suspect that the Metal Cloak rack will work well when they announce 392 compatibility. Currently: "Model: Does NOT fit on JT Mojave or JL 392 due to a taller cowl/hood and does NOT fit on a JL 4XE due to charge port location."

No A-Pillar mounts on the Rhino... give it a look.
(didn't think there were any on the Maximus either but might be wrong on that one...)

Unfortunately the SOT design precludes any fasteners that pass through the roof. Everything must be A-pillar and rear frame/bumper mounted to clear both the roof and the fabric as it bunches up at the back when open.

Ah! There be the problem! Wasn't thinking of the Sky One Touch.
Well I'll keep trolling Rhino and if they come up with anything I'll be sure to post it!

I contacted MetalCloak about the progress on the roof rack for 392. They are still working on it, and close to entering production, but no solid dates.
