What rack is this? Can you put kayaks and paddle boards on it? That seems too cheap to be any good?

My opinion of the factory rack is that unless you order it with your Bronco it is too damn expensive to get after. $800 is very expensive and you still need to buy the cross bars, then specific holders for kayaks or paddle boards, etc. So about or over $1500. I have not found a reasonably priced rack for the Bronco 2 door and still use my old pick up for the kayaks and paddle boards.

Do you have a link to the rack you got from Amazon?

Too expensive, especially considering what it's apparently made of (plastic coated cardboard?)

The selection of good options is pretty sad IMO.

I think I'm personally gonna go with the DV8 option.

I carry a canoe on my 2-door rack. Works very well at an economical price. EZ to use with front row roof panels removed.

Trail sights great for tying down the canoe !

I use mine. I put a $99 Harbor Freight basket on top. I can still take the front panels off.

I use my OEM roof racks with a Thule Canyon XT and Canyon XT Extension. I can remove the front roof panels and my GearShade Limb Risers.

I'd like it better if it was usable with the top off.
It is useable with the front roof panels off. I have it on my 2-door Basesquatch (came installed from the factory). I will say, I haven't used my for anything, nor do I plan to. For me, it's solely a cosmetic upgrade - IMHO, the visuals of the 2-door are improved dramatically with the roof rack as it looks more like a Tonka truck (in a good way).
