Black Horse Off Road Traveler Roof Ladder Rack - Jeep Wrangler 1987-2017
Description
The Black Horse Off Road Traveler Roof Ladder Rack is a heavy-duty roof basket engineered specifically for Jeep Wrangler YJ, TJ, and JK models from 1987 to 2017. Designed with hard top fitment in mind, this rack delivers serious cargo-carrying capability without sacrificing the rugged, trail-ready character your Wrangler demands. The modular construction makes shipping economical and assembly straightforward, so you spend less time in the garage and more time on the trail.
Built from high-strength 2mm carbon steel with a full E-coat base and fine-textured black powder coat finish, the Traveler rack is engineered to resist rust and handle the abuse of off-road environments for years to come. A full-width front aero design reduces wind noise and drag at highway speeds, while multiple side, front, and rear mounting points give you the flexibility to run lights, antennas, or other accessories exactly where you need them.

- Weight: 150 lbs - heavy-duty build rated for demanding use.
- Finish: Fully E-coated for rust prevention, then finished in a fine-textured black powder coat for long-lasting corrosion resistance.
