Rhino-Rack Backbone Mounting System RJLB1
Rhino-Rack Backbone RJLB1 is a dedicated mounting system designed for the Jeep JL Wrangler. It uses an internal support structure installed inside the hard top, with three mounting plates on each side connected to the interior frame. This design extends the usable roof line and allows the vehicle to carry heavier loads compared with standard roof mounting solutions.
The system is built for users who need a stronger base for touring, overlanding and everyday cargo transport. It provides the foundation for installing a 2-bar or 3-bar roof rack system or a Pioneer Platform, making it a practical choice for vehicles that need reliable roof load support.
