Newbie here, so just a bit about my self. I am on my forth Jeep, the first was a 1978 Wagoneer, the next on was a 1998 jeep wrangler sport, and then a 2010 wrangler sport. My wife and I traded in that and her car to down size to our current daily driver/boat tractor a Wrangler JKU sport, we call it Gamin. We would like to add to its utility resume.

So I got to look'n and we quickly decided on a RTT (an ARB Simpson III is the list topper to date). Where I am stuck (I get the power to decide this on) is which rack should I get. I do not like the over the top type as it looks to be a royal pain taking off the top when I want to. I also have a 7 foot tall garage door (yes the RTT will come off in the driveway). I kinda like the station wagon look of the teraflex Nebo, I also like the low form look the rhino rack backbone. The teraflex two in-line bars can accept lot of the cross member bars (thule/yakima) accessories and the RTT. So canoe, bikes, lumber and just about anything else under 200 lbs should be a go. Same goes for the rhino rack 3 bar. Though when we don't need to be hauling anything, the rhino rack bars can be removed.

So back to my title, what would I be giving up, if I were to go with the teraflex, it costs just over $500.00 vs the $725.00 dealer price for the rhino rack.

a bit of space and if you do not get all the slats you will be giving up "some" utility....you will gain, less wind noise, less drag, and less weight.

what about that new Teraflex rack? Small, lightweight and just covers the rear of the hardtop. Seems like for a smaller RTT (one that isn't the same size as the entire roof length), that it would fit the bill perfectly.

Edit. I see if I read your entire post that you were already considering that lol.

Yeah I was reading the OP and just before I got to the part where he started talking about the Teraflex one, I was like man, it sounds like the TF rack would be perfect for what he needs!
