Rocklander Front Hoop, JL Wrangler | JT Gladiator
MetalCloak Rocklander Front Hoop is a front hoop/brace for the Jeep Wrangler JL (2-door and 4-door) and Jeep Gladiator JT, built as a sturdy mounting base for accessories while protecting the area around the windshield frame. A 2" steel tube design and factory-point mounting make it a solid foundation for ARS rack components and add-ons (like lighting mounts).
MetalCloak Rocklander Front Hoop – Jeep Wrangler JL (2D/4D) / Jeep Gladiator JT
The Rocklander Front Hoop is a front hoop component for MetalCloak’s ARS (Adventure Rack Systems). It can be used on its own as an accessory mounting base or as part of a modular rack/overland system. The design ties into factory locations to create a rigid structure at the A-pillars and the front edge of the cabin.
Built around a 2" steel tube with dedicated cowl-area mounts, it uses a multi-point connection approach (16 connection points total). Integrated welded grab handles improve access up top and pair well with optional ARS components such as the Kat-Walk platform.
Key benefits
- Strong mounting base for overland accessories (mounts/brackets can attach directly to the hoop).
- Multi-point cowl mounting (16 connection points) for stability under load and trail vibration.
- Added protection and reinforcement around the windshield frame/A-pillar area.
- Integrated welded grab handles for safer reach and easier roof access.
- Modular architecture (uprights + center section) joined with “shelf-lock” style connectors for consistent alignment.
- Corrosion-resistant hardware and a finish built for harsh outdoor use.
