Kinda looks like someone popped it in the microwave and it came out a half size small.. clean and tight though!

I’ll look this up online. Looks like it can hold some traction boards and maybe something else small which is pretty useful.

This is my favorite rack for a 2 door.

Is it as secure on the roof as you want it to be? I ask that due to the 2 door having just one molded area for the support to grab hold of. If you add the side holders as the orange Bronco has, do you feel it could handle 3-4 gallons per side?
Thanks

Yes, the front braces are designed to slip in the opening and secure the rack, I did not put on the accessory brackets YET I did talk to 2 other rack owners who have them, one had 2 rotopax on 2 sepperate brackets and a molle panel on the opposite side, he allowed me to check the security and it did not budge. He did mention adding some foam weatherstripon the rotopax to absorb any vibration and has had no issues. The attaching point is very secure on the bottom of the bracket where it mounts to the roof. I will post a pick of his if he shows up tomorrow.

That front bracket, is it at all interfering with the seal between top section and side section?

Not that I have noticed has been on mine for 8 months.

The reason I ask is based on your picture when enlarged that the front bracket looks to be pulling up on the bottom lip of the top section. I would be concerned over time of fractures resulting from the bracket pulling upward. I do no believe there is any reinforcement in that area vs the actual slot in rear for rack attachment. Just curious, you may want to inspect around that area periodically to be proactive. Nice set-up though. Thanks for the response!

Will do! Thanks for the feed back.

I'm about to order the shorty 2.0 for my 2dr hard top, add 4 rotopax/acc. arms and dual Molle panels. My question is: Will the rack arms and MIC HT remain a single unit when removing and reinstalling. I remove my top a lot and can't allow anything to impede that.

Im not sure if it would impede your lift, I dont have the side mounts to give you a definite answer.
