![]() ![]() All the basic install info with generic pictures are included in the links above. Once they are all bolted down and snug, you simply lock in the SkyLine Towers and your base Roof Rack is done. With all 8 holes drilled out you can then apply Black Loctite around them all and fully complete the Landing Pad install. View attachment 22938 View attachment 22939 You drill through each of the 2 circles you've made on each footprint, so 8 total holes. Those footprints are where you will now permanently mount the Landing Pad 6's. ![]() ![]() Then remove the entire Roof Rack from the Hardtop and you are left with 4 footprints. Then from the top there are spots to mark 2 holes in each one, you color that like a bubble sheet. Once you have the towers+landing pads spread apart on both crossbars where you want and everything has been centered, I drew an outline around each Landing Pad with a pencil. Make sure you stay away from any seams that may be on your Hardtop especially on the inside of the roof and towards the rear. Measure off those grooves the distance you wish for idea roof thickness and Landing Pad placement. Of the middle 4 grooves that all look the same, use the outer 2 as you can see in my pictures). (One nice thing about the TJ Hardtop is that it has these 6 grooves molded into the top, the 2 outermost grooves are too far out to use as a guideline for centering and not where you want to be drilling through. That way you can basically set the entire completed roof rack on the Hardtop, then center/adjust the towers+landing pads to the exact place you wish before its permanently done. So as people know the TJ Hardtop has a "taper" to it front to back, so I chose to mount my RocketBox to the Crossbars with the Towers and Landing Pads attached. (I used a bunch of gift cards I had towards the cost so it wasn't that bad for me in the end).Īlso so folks know there are other variations of the this hardtop setup by using one of Yakima's Track Kits which require different components.įor my specific setup I was going to be using a RocketBox Pro 14 with a 40" crossbar spread (I did this for the widest possible footprint and load dispersion), and would be mounting my Landing Pads in a fixed location. It is also a little expensive so there is a downside to going this route. I go with Yakima because I have always used and liked their stuff, is good quality, and setup is self explanatory for the most part. Ok, so my main reason for going with this setup was because I have a few cross-country road trips planned and this seemed to be the best thing for me. ![]()
