THE TECH
Rocklander Front Hoop
ARS is the only rack that features a "load bearing" front hoop without the need for additional support; this strength is the bedrock that allows our rack systems to withstand fore and aft thrust, side load forces, and prevents horizontal racking (the twisting/flexing out of a rigid or supportive state).
Integrated Weld-On Handles
The Rocklander Front Hoop has welded-on 1" x .120 wall steel tube handles that let you get up and into your Jeep and also provide easy access to the optional Kat Walk accessory or roof rack.
Steel Pier Plates
The Front Hoop Columns are attached with 3/16" Steel Pier-Plates that connect to 16 strong mounting points along with 2 additional fasteners at the front assembly of the Jeep body, then the pier plates are discretely covered with the factory cowl for a clean OE look.
Tube Diameter - Size Matters
Optional Front Hoop Kat Walk
The JL Wrangler Jeep Kat Walk is a non-slip step platform that provides easy access to the top of the Jeep. The ARS Kat Walk is a bolt-on accessory that spans the windshield/hood area of JK that attaches to front hoop and is rated for 300lbs.
The Front Hoop Kat Walk is sold separately.
