      Video Review & Installation

      Ryan: This Barricade Roof Rack is for those of you that have a 1997 to 2006 TJ that are looking for a way to carry more gear in or, in this case, on your Wrangler. TJs are very small on the inside, especially if you have a rear seat installed. There's not a lot of room for gear, so if you're looking to carry some larger stuff or just some more stuff, a roof rack is a great way to go. This is going to be a completely bolt-on roof rack, definitely one out of three wrench installation, and we'll talk more about that in just a second.Roof racks are definitely going to give you a lot more space to carry more gear and larger gear. However, if you do some more hardcore wheeling, you're not going to want to have a ton of weight up on the roof rack that can make your top heavy and when you're in those off-camera situations can make things a little bit tippy. However, if you're running some fire trails, you're getting back and forth to a campground or you're using your roof rack on the road, this is going to hold up to 350 pounds and give you a ton more utility from your TJ. This is also going to be a rack that's going to be fairly inexpensive when you consider a lot of the other racks out there. Now, some of those other racks are going to be a little bit more sturdy. They're going to have a couple of additional features or have some stuff that's designed to be directly bolted onto that roof rack to give it even more utility. This is going to be a stripped-down very simple roof rack, but that also allows it to be a little less expensive.This roof rack is made of mostly 2-inch round tubing. It's going to attach onto the windshield hinge bolts up front, and onto the frame in the back. So again, no need to drill any holes in your Jeep. You are going to have to have a non-wrap-around bumper installed on your TJ in order to get those brackets installed on the frame and not have the bumper be in the way. This does have some crossbars built right into the top of it. Of course, that's what's going to end up holding most of your loads. They are going to be removable so that you can flip down your soft top or remove your hardtop from your Jeep without needing to completely remove your roof rack.Some other roof racks will completely be hinged and they'll fold back out of the way at the top. This, you have to remove the crossbars to take your top up and down, maybe a couple more steps, but it is going to be a little bit easier to do by yourself with just one person, and then flipping an entire roof rack back. That being said, the thumbscrews that come in order to hold those crossbars in place like to get stripped out, so a lot of people will swap them with something else. Just keep that in mind while you're using this rack. Now we're gonna have a member from our install team show you how to get this bolted up to your TJ.Man: We're gonna begin our installation by removing the corner pieces from our rear bumper. You will not be able to reuse these, unfortunately. And that's only if you still have the stock rear bumper on your Jeep TJ. We're gonna follow that by removing the hardware from the front door hinges so we can bolt the uprights in place. I'm gonna go ahead and remove our front doors just to make installation a little easier, and so no alignment issues happen when removing the hinges. Simple as opening your door, disconnecting your strap, and lifting it up off the pins. We're gonna begin removing the front hardware with the top two hinge bolts, and then we're gonna move down to the bottom two. First part of our roof rack to go on is the front upright. This is gonna bolt right in place over your factory hinges. Next, we're gonna remove the two retaining nuts on the back of the bumper. Get these out of the way so we can install our next upright.Now that we got our rear lower in place, we're gonna go ahead and install our rear upper and our forward bar at the same time because they all interlock with each other. Now you gonna wanna make sure that your upper forward bar is oriented in the correct position so that the holes for the crossbars are facing slightly downward. All your tubes will fit really tightly together. This is a good thing. They won't rattle around, but you might want to use a mallet just to get them into place. Just give them a light tap. That should get them all sitting nice and tightly together.We're gonna go ahead and install our hardware just to hold our bars together, but we're gonna install it loosely. We're gonna go back at the end and tighten everything up. Now that our one side is done and assembled, you wanna go ahead and repeat all of these steps for the opposite side before we go ahead and put in our crossbars. It's the same exact procedure, just on the opposite side. All right. Now that our side rails are together and mounted and loosely installed, we're gonna go ahead and add our crossbars in. We're gonna begin with the middle one. Just go ahead and over, right up in there. Once you got your crossbar set in place, you're gonna go ahead and take one of your longer bolts with a washer, slide it in from the bottom, and you're gonna take one of these knobs supplied in the kit. Go ahead and screw it down from the top. Now that all our bars are mounted, we're gonna go ahead and go back and tighten everything up and snug it down.Ryan: This roof rack is gonna run you right around $300, which is going to be a lot less expensive than some of those premium roof racks that are on the market. Those premium racks will sometimes have a basket built into them or a basket designed specifically to go on them. They will have additional attachment points for lights, for high lift mounts, for jacks, for axes, for whatever. And this is definitely going to be a little bit of a simpler design, not have a lot of those add-ons.Some of those other racks will maybe be a little bit sleeker-looking, they tuck a little bit closer to the top, have a little bit more style. This is just going to be a simple rack. This just gets the job done. And if that's what you're looking for, you can save a lot of money by going this direction. If you want a few more frills, we have those racks available as well. So if you're looking for a good, simple roof rack for your TJ, I definitely recommend this option from Barricade, and you can find it right here at extremeterrain.com.

      Description

      Extra Cargo Space. A Barricade Off-Road Roof Rack gives you the additional space you need to carry all your essential off-road cargo without sacrificing interior passenger space. This Barricade Off-Road Roof Rack System is perfect for your next off-road adventure or family vacation and can hold up to 350 pounds of extra cargo.

      Removable Cross Bars. Barricade Off-Road had the foresight to design their Roof Rack with removable cross bars. This removable cross bar design will allow for easy storage of different size cargo loads, as well as easy removal of either a soft or hard top without the need to disassemble the entire roof rack.

      Heavy Duty Construction. Manufactured from heavy duty 2-inch diameter (0.12-inch wall thickness) steel tubing, this Barricade Off-Road Roof Rack System is completed in a textured black powder coat finish for aggressive good looks and long lasting corrosion resistance. For those with body lifts installed, this kit also includes three additional sets of spacers to accommodate the various body lifts on today's market, so there is no need to compromise on your rig.

      Bolt-on Installation. The Barricade Roof Rack features an easy, bolt on installation and comes with all the required hardware and mounts. It’s designed to work with a variety of aftermarket bumpers, but will need extra clearances once installed. Due to the mounting clearances, this Roof Rack cannot be used in conjunction with any bumper that wraps around the side of your Jeep. Additional spacers are included to accommodate body lifts.

      Application. The Barricade Off-Road Roof Rack System is specifically designed to fit the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJs, excluding Unlimited models, equipped with an aftermarket bumper that does not wrap around the sides of your vehicle. It will not fit 2004-2006 TJ Unlimited Edition models.

      Technical Note. This Barricade Off-Road Roof Rack is for storage only; it is not designed for rollover protection.
