ARB Base Rack

[89PACHANGA]

Bronco TEAM,
so I have been planning a roof rack mod, and despite spending 4K on a prior custom build
I have been tinkering with ARB products.
I have found the 50 x 72 Base Rack works well, North to South and allows me to remove driver / passenger tops.

It appears that this rack as well as a Bronco-specific mounting kit are now available according to ARB's website as well as several vendors. Has anyone purchased and installed one of these on a Bronco? I haven't been able to find any videos detailing the installation, or how it is supported inside the vehicle or connected to the cage inside. I'm also very curious about how they designed connections through the hardtop and how it is waterproofed.

The pictures above look like it mounts at the two mount points above the windshield and the two mount slots above the rear side windows. I don't see that it connects to anything else, but maybe I'm wrong?

Check out the ARB website, which shows their fully welded rack and mount that ties into the frame through the hardtop.

Hmm, interesting. I guess the OP has used another mount.

Here is a shot I took from koh earlier this year on their demo bronco. I like the idea but hate that you have to drill into the hardtop

Hmm, I suppose that approximates the "fixed hard top" ask in the other thread... lol
