Testing Ford Bronco Roof Racks: Our Adventure Ready

We recently put the 5-piece Aluminum Roof Rack Cross Bars compatible with the 2021-2026 Ford Bronco to the test during our weekend camping trip. These crossbars fit perfectly on our 4-door hard top model, providing a sturdy platform for all our adventure gear. Installation was straightforward, taking us about 30 minutes without any drilling required.

What impressed us most was the robust construction – even when fully loaded with our kayaks and camping equipment, the racks showed no signs of bending or noise at highway speeds. The aluminum build strikes a nice balance between durability and weight, and the black finish complements the Bronco’s aesthetic perfectly.

Worth noting: these racks are specifically designed for the standard Bronco (not the Sport model) and work with both 2-door and 4-door hard top configurations. For anyone looking to maximize their Bronco’s cargo capacity, these crossbars deliver exceptional value.

We Test the Hooke Road Gladiator JT Half Roof Rack

After putting the Hooke Road Gladiator JT Half Rear Roof Rack through its paces, we’re impressed with how it transforms cargo capacity on the 2020-2025 Jeep Gladiator JT. This hardtop-specific rack installs securely without requiring any drilling, which we found particularly appealing during our installation process.

The powder-coated steel construction strikes a nice balance between durability and weight. During our off-road testing, the rack remained solidly attached even on bumpy terrain. We appreciated the thoughtful side rails that kept our gear from sliding off during aggressive driving maneuvers.

One thing we noticed is how the half-rack design preserves rear visibility while still providing substantial additional storage space. The included crossbars also gave us flexibility for mounting other accessories like lights or specialized carriers.

For Gladiator owners looking to expand their cargo options without sacrificing the vehicle’s rugged appeal, this rack delivers impressive functionality.
