Hooke Road Gladiator JT Half Rear Roof Rack Cargo Basket Crossbar for 2020-2026 Jeep Gladiator JT Hardtop Only

VERY PLEASED with this company and will be buying more products in the future. I got this rack because I still wanted to open my freedom panels. Definitely worth it. Heavy duty and looks great. Bought for my 2022 Jeep Gladiator sport s pickup truck and couldn't be happier. Product came early, arrived in great condition, and everything was packaged nicely. Easy to assemble alone and fits accurately on my truck. They even sent me stickers.😁 Definitely recommend.

Great product at a decent price! I can take the two front panels on top with no problem..I traveled from AZ to CA with no hiccups…the only thing (which is expected) it does make quite a bit of noise if you are going over 70-80 depending how windy it is…so if you speed like me don’t expect it to be quite lol

Putting it together wasn’t too difficult, but some nuts and bolts were subpar quality and I ended up stripping a bunch. I’m an experience mechanically inclined person. We just feels like the inside threads were not great.. Instructions also could use a little work just closer images of things.. Still got it up still looks good!

Easy install and sturdy rear roof rack. I’ve hauled traction boards, inflatable rafts, totes and other camping supplies up there without and issues.

Love the product very miner nicks in the powder coat but fit and finish was great. Once mounted it feels very sturdy. Just beware there will be some added wind noise driving down the road

The build quality is fine, no issues yet. The problem is that the rear clamps, if you fit them properly, don't allow the rear doors to open. So you have to pull the clamps out a bit to allow the doors to open, but the seal of the door still rubs on the clamp. The second problem is that this half tack, though designed to allow the freedom tops to come off, is slightly too large to be able to remove the tops and put them back on without an ENORMOUS amount of effort. And, regardless of what the instructions say, there is no adjustment in the front bar to allow any extra room. I have not carried anything in it yet, but I don't see why there would be any issues. The threaded holes for putting this together were not machined well. Lots of leftover filings and one hole had been dented, needing to be opened to allow the screw to fit.

I installed this roof rack on my Gladiator Rubicon and I am impressed. Once you bolt it all together, it becomes very rigid. Upon install, it is very sturdy. I carried a 24' extension ladder for 400 miles with 2 ratchet straps holding the ladder to the rack. No movement and definitely heavy-duty enough to hold up to the bouncing and highway speeds. When you have no items strapped to the rack, it will be very quiet up until 80 mph. When you approach 80, you start to hear a little wind noise coming off the rack. You can faintly hear wind noise at 75 mpg.

Install is fairly simple. The one thing to note is you should have a M8 1.25 tap on hand to clean the powder coat from the threads in the weld nuts on the mounting brackets. The rack is sturdy and well made from what I can tell without actually loading it. The doors clear it fine…it is a little awkward installing the top in and around it…..just take your time. Final install looks great and I would purchase again.
