Nice! Any install pics of the hardtop support bracket they provided? Still trying to figure out how it looks installed.

I actually haven't installed that part yet. From my understanding it goes in the middle of the rear cap and rests on the speaker crossbar. I'll probably get around to putting it on if I start to notice any sagging. So far so good though.

They do have pictures in their install guide. https://rcimetalworks.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/RCI-FORD-BRONCO-4-DOOR-Roof-Support-1.pdf

The PakRax is the sole reason I’m leaning towards the TrailRax. I want that functionality and look. I don’t know why more rack companies don’t incorporate that functionality to their racks.
I'm wondering if the Pakrax could be configured to work with this rack, I really hate the curved front fairing on the Trailrax rack.

Thanks, I hadnt seen their side rack on the website, it doesnt come up on the Bronco roof rack section. Their offering looks ridiculously large, and doesn't appear to distribute weight from the roof rack to the body.

Anybody have issue with their filler panel bracket. Mine is showing possible sign of corrosion? Not sure what it is but it is only affecting the filler panel bracket. All other aluminium are fine. It's happening to all the filler panel bracket. Some are worse than others. This happen after 2 days of rain in Socal. I reached out to RCI via email to no avail. Will try to call them next week.

Weird. I’m sure they’ll replace, no questions asked.

Finally got around to installing the support bracket. Seems to have alleviated the issue. Bravo RCI for coming up with a solution with practically zero delay. It just took me a year to get the time to disassemble.

Hey man, looking at purchasing this rack due to the Labor Day sale

You still believe the RCI support has alleviated the sagging issue?

do you have the side panels or the JCR support bracket?

Seems to have fixed the issue for sure. I don’t have the JCR, though it wouldn’t hurt - but, I doubt it’s necessary. It’s a nice rack for the style. I like the rear portion and the fairing the best out of the other options.

Can anyone with the rack who has had it on awhile tell me if you are have these on the rubber between roof and hardtop?

It's on both driver and passenger side. Not in line with the bracket shown.

Not really sure what I’m looking at. Roof is the hardtop…no?

Yes hardtop. This is right under the fairing right above the windshield
