The rear body armor mount variance is an interesting solution, I know my JCW rack was rated at 350lbs , i suspect the body armor is 250?

Was the wiring of the light bar a PITA? mine was dmn near impossible to get through the corner vertical brace but eventually got it done.

With the crossbars mounted I can still drive in and out of my garage at 82" opening even with 35's and 3.5" lift, which is cool. I plan on adding LED combo light bar up front and some type of floods in the rear. Have about 4.5" to work with in the front but rear is tight so may have to modify the rear light bar mounts to clear the garage entrance. This thing is rock solid, had to use ratchet straps to pull everything together during assembly. I added some O-rings at each of the joints to seal it up and eliminate rattling. Test drove it at 65 mph and a little noisy but with soft top it was already noisy, no big deal. The powder coat is good quality, had to touch up a bit on the three crossbars which are all same length and the rack is pretty square front front to back. The quick knobs are a joke so I just snapped apart and used the screw and nylon locknuts from them same as the other hardware. Hardest part of this whole mod was dealing with JCW to get all the parts. For $253 shipped I think it's a great deal, and I have a basket to throw on it, made from two Harbor Freight ATV cargo racks bolted together, 40x48" finished size, cost about $65 total for both.
