Hey guys,

Its time. Im done with the Thule set up i have now its served its purpose but I'm really missing not being able to take off the front panels. Which rack would you go with and why?!?!?

Thanks,

Kyle

 

I just had rhino rack installed. Very little wind noise, no issues with taking off the freedom panels. If you like taking off your hard top you lose the use of the rack is the only negative. If your adding the hot head or Mopar panels do them before adding the side supports.

 

Teraflex all the way. Less intrusive, less wind resistance, lower profile, better look and cheaper. I am putting my order in for the NEBO as soon as I get back from florida!

 

If one wanted to do the full hot heads headliner kit, would it work with both racks? I'm leaning more towards the nebo for looks alone. It'll mainly be used for hauling SUPS, snowboards, and maybe at some point a james broud tent

 

Rhino rack all the way. I've been super happy with my setup and have gotten tons of compliments on the factory look. I went with the 3 bar system since I already had a basket and wanted to keep weight down, but if I didn't have a basket I most likely would have done the pioneer platform and may do that down the road, super versatile and stable platform.

 

The teraflex with the full deck, low profile so you don't have extra wind resistance. Its like a factory roof rack. works great. and 1/2 the price of the rhino with platform. You can mount the tent on it no problem. and it fit yak. accessories as well like bike, kayak etc mounts. and when unloaded it does not scream I am an overlander. You "MAY" have to modify the headliner a bit, maybe not. When I get my nebo I will have a better idea on how they work with the headliners...As I am installing them as well.

 

where do you see it for 600$ for the full deal with slats? side rails alone are at least 500, and the slats(sold separately) are another 600... around 1k which isnt far off from the full pioneer setup for the backbone system.


i will say, i do like their slimmer design but not a fan of the need to unbolt it to remove the hardtop. the Rhino sticks on the top and other than the torx you take off to remove the top there are no other bolts to remove, when lifted off which is nice.

i just watched their "product spotlight" video and got a laugh out of the backwards handlebars and incorrectly mounted bike ..

 

The full pioneer platform I was looking at was 2200 bucks from rhino...

 

If in reading my screenshot correctly... Full kit with flat 71x56 platform is 1350, and you can save 100$ (or more depending on shipping) if you buy the platform unassembled. Their most expensive complete comes with the platform with side rails and quick disconnect feet and that one is 1750 before tax/shipping

 

Teraflex Nebo!!
