Overview
The Sherpa JLU QDHD Half Rack is designed for Jeep owners who want utility without compromise. Mounting directly into the Wranglerās roll cage, it delivers the same rockāsolid foundation as our full rack system, but in a lighter, modular form that keeps your freedom panels accessible.
Compact Capability
Covering only the rear half of the JLU roofline, this rack is perfect for rooftop tents, recovery boards, or cargo that rides behind the driver. Its Ā¼āinch aluminum side plates and black anodized crossbars provide strength without excess weight, while stainless hardware and a textured powderācoat finish ensure durability against the elements.
QuickāDetach Convenience
Adventure is unpredictable, so we built the Half Rack to adapt. Toolāfree knobs let you remove it in minutes, giving you the flexibility to switch between full utility and openāair driving whenever the mood strikes.
Built to Last
Every detail reflects Sherpaās precision engineering ā from reinforced side plates to corrosionāresistant finishes. Whether youāre packing for a weekend trail run or a long expedition, the JLU QDHD Half Rack keeps your Wrangler capable, adaptable, and ready for whatever comes next.
To keep our prices on large and heavy Sherpa products as low as possible, a separate shipping fee is calculated at checkout. All other brands in our store include free shipping.
