How does the Rhino-Rack Backbone system work?

The Rhino-Rack Backbone is fitted to the internal chassis of your Jeep Wrangler (or several other vehicle applications), re-enforcing the strong design and distributing the weight of your gear evenly over the body of the Jeep. The Backbone is made of cast aluminium point mount pads, connected internally with steel frames to the interior body of your Jeep. All of the external parts of the system are powder coated to match the appearance of your Jeep.

What do you need to install you carrier?
