ARS has created a structure to safely handle additional cargo loads for your Jeep. Our rack systems are built on a unique floating foundation that separates and distributes weight to the body and to the frame maximizing structure and support. Utilizing a matrix of 3/16" steel pier-plates, base anchor footings, and 2" diameter steel columns, our system interconnects a framework that allow for "seismic" forces to be handled readily with its unique mechanical advantages.

The 4xE Front hoop is specifically designed to seamlessly fit around the charging port of you Jeep and ARS has the only rack that features a "load bearing" front hoop without the need for additional support; this strength is the bedrock that allows our rack systems to withstand fore and aft thrust, side load forces, and prevents horizontal racking (the twisting/flexing out of a rigid or supportive state). The front hoop columns are attached with 3/16" steel pier-plates that connect to 16 strong mounting points along with 2 additional fasteners at the front assembly of the Jeep body, then the pier plates are discretely covered with the factory cowl for a clean OE look.

The rear hoop columns are attached with our 3/16" steel base anchors and flexural footings, that create an understructure connecting the frame of the Jeep to the hoop for the strongest attachment point. The flexural footings coupled to our 2” OD steel support columns through 2-part urethane bushings, providing flexural rigidity between the frame and body mounts that allow the front and rear foundations to work in unison to support the cargo structure.

TheSky One-Touch Top Rocklander roof trusses allow for the usage of your Sky One-Touch Top usage and are made of strong 2” diameter, .120 steel tube and have engineered front bends creating a stronger and sturdier support when out on the trails or on the road. This Rack system boasts a 375lbs (dynamic) and 850lbs (static) weight capacity.

The trusses are equipped with CNC steel billet clamps that are secured to the front and rear hoop mounts with corrosion resistant hardware. The trusses are finished in a durable black texture powder coat to protect them against the elements and to keep them looking good.

Note: This is for a JL Wrangler 4xE Only.

Note: 4xE Rack System is for the US/Canada Market Models Only.

Note: The Roof Pak Basket will NOT work on Sky-Top equipped Jeeps.

Note: Adding racks and/or accessories to the exterior of your vehicle may increase wind noise especially on models with soft-tops, sky-tops, etc.

THE TECH

JL 4xE Wrangler 4-Door Rocklander Rack System

ARS has created a structure to safely handle additional cargo loads for your Jeep. Our rack systems are built on a unique floating foundation that separates and distributes weight to the body AND to the frame maximizing structure and support.

The 4xE Front hoop is specifically designed to seamlessly fit around the charging port of you Jeep and ARS has the only rack that features a "load bearing" front hoop without the need for additional support; this strength is the bedrock that allows our rack systems to withstand fore and aft thrust, side load forces, and prevents horizontal racking (the twisting/flexing out of a rigid or supportive state).

Integrated Weld-On Handles

The Rocklander Front Hoop has welded-on 1" x .120 wall steel tube handles that let you get up and into your Jeep and also provide easy access to the optional Kat Walk accessory or roof rack.

The Front Hoop Columns are attached with 3/16" Steel Pier-Plates that connect to 16 strong mounting points along with 2 additional fasteners at the front assembly of the Jeep body, then the pier plates are discretely covered with the factory cowl for a clean OE look.

Rocklander Rear Hoop

The Rocklander Rear Hoop fits a 2-Door or 4-Door JL Wrangler. The rear hoop is made of strong 2" x .120 wall steel tube and mounts directly to the frame while adding protection for the rear corners of the Jeep JL Wrangler. The rear hoop is black powder coated to protect the hoop from the elements and does not require any drilling or body modifications.

Billet Shelf-Lock

Billet Shelf-Lock connections allow for ease of installation and increased functionality.

The rear hoop connects the rear uprights together with solid billet, overlapping Shelf-Locks and secure into place using industrial grade corrosion resistant hardware.

The Billet Shelf Lock connectors are fully welded into the tubes for incredible strength and help facilitate ease of assembly.

Rear Hoop Adapter Brackets

The Rear hoop columns are attached with our 3/16" steel base anchors and Flexural Footings, that create an understructure connecting the frame of the Jeep to the hoop for the strongest attachment point.

4-Door Roof Trusses

The Jeep Wrangler JLU Sky One-Touch Top Rocklander Roof Trusses are a critical part of the ARS cargo system. The roof trusses are made solid with 2"OD steel tubing that connect with the front and rear hoop columns with additional height for the Sky One-Touch Top, and create the most stable cargo management system available. ARS Roof Trusses are finished in a durable black texture powder coat that protect against the elements and to keep them looking good.

To maximize load strength, ARS Roof Trusses are designed with a forward slope that reduce push/load forces on the front body mounted hoop columns.

CNC Billet Clamps

The strong 2” OD steel tube Roof trusses are complimented with huge CNC steel billet clamps that attach firmly with a combined clamping force of over 3,200lbs to the front and Rear hoop columns.

Tube Diameter - Size Matters

ARS uses 2" diameter tube for maximum strength. Just a simple visual comparison shows the material used for ARS components far surpasses inferior brands.

Weight Capacity

The JL Wrangler ARS Rack will support up to 350lbs of dynamic weight and over 850lbs quasi static loads.
