This system consists of two parts, SX026 + 44101B Pioneer Platform. The pioneer is directly mounted to the legs saving profile and adding a sleek OE look. Our systems are made of structural grade aluminum offering a quite low profile look while accommodating up to 70 + accessories. This system will support a dynamic load rating of 176lbs. Static usually triples.

I had trouble finding a photo for this system attached to a flush rail. I did manage to find one to a raised rail, not my favorite but please imagine this rack fitting to a flush rail. This would save 3 inches on overall height.

Here is a link to our site:
#JA8979 - Pioneer SX Platform (60" x 54") | Rhino-Rack


This is attached to a raised rail; imagine this attached to a flush rail. Saves 3 or so inches.
Thanks thanks for stopping in to get us some info

Hey Cody,

Any issues with clearance for the sunroof with the flush rail mount?

If you could find a pic, that would be awesome.

Thank you

Thx for the info Cody. I looked at the online instructions and it seemed the platform came with some crossbar that fits to the feet, the platform is then mounted to the crossbars. From your description it seems it may be more integrated. I do like the compact design and accessories, also that it seems to be relatively easy to remove and reattach once all assembled.

176lb payload is fine for my use, not looking for an expedition rack, just a few jerry cans, tents, etc as needed.
