RIVAL 2M.2703.1 – aluminum roof rack for Jeep
The RIVAL 2M.2703.1 is a modular roof platform designed for the 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL 2-Door and 2020–2025 Jeep Gladiator JT. Its aluminum construction adds practical roof storage while the no-drill installation avoids permanent drilling or cutting of the vehicle.
Key benefits
- No-drill installation without permanent holes in the vehicle.
- 48 × 56 in platform, approximately 1,219 × 1,422 mm.
- Modular layout designed to work with a range of roof-rack accessories.
- Wind deflector included.
- Freedom Panel access can be retained when the rack is positioned toward the rear of the hardtop.
Dimensions and construction
The platform measures 48 × 56 in and provides approximately 1.73 m² of surface area. Published specifications list a total rack weight of 50 lb, approximately 22.7 kg, with an added vehicle height of 4.7 in, approximately 119 mm.
Rack capacity versus vehicle roof limit
The roof rack itself is rated at 265 lb, approximately 120.2 kg static, and 175 lb, approximately 79.4 kg dynamic. These are rack ratings and must not be treated as the automatic permissible roof load of the vehicle.
Jeep owner's manuals for the Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT model years checked during this audit specify a 100 lb / 45 kg roof-rack load limit on Hard Top vehicles, including the crossbars. Always check the owner's manual for the exact vehicle model year and configuration and observe the lowest applicable limit within the complete vehicle, roof, rack, mounting and accessory system.
2-Door configuration
For the Jeep Wrangler JL 2-Door configuration, the main 2M.0001.4 platform is used without the 2M.0003.4 extension. According to the exact product listing, this extension is not supplied with the 2-Door kit.
Freedom Panels and installation
To retain access to the Freedom Panels, the rack should be positioned fully toward the rear of the hardtop. The system uses a no-drill installation and does not require cutting the vehicle.

Can the full 175 lb dynamic rack rating be used while driving?
The 175 lb figure is the rack's dynamic rating, not an automatic vehicle roof-load allowance. Check the owner's manual for the exact Jeep model year and configuration before loading.
Is it compatible with a Soft Top?
