Description

Expedition One Mule Ultra Roof Rack - Jeep Wrangler JL (2018+)

No-Drill Installation. Freedom Panel Ready. Lightweight Aluminum.

Ultimate Cargo Expansion

Frustrated with limited cargo space? Do you need a robust way to transport your gear without weighing down your vehicle or ruining your Jeep's open-air feel?

The Expedition One Mule Ultra Roof Rack is the ultimate lightweight and durable solution to expand your Jeep's cargo capacity and elevate your off-road experience.

Why Expedition One Built the Mule Ultra:

The Pain: Finding a Jeep Wrangler rack that doesn't permanently damage the fragile fiberglass hardtop, while still being strong enough to hold heavy gear, is incredibly difficult. Furthermore, full-length racks trap the Freedom Panels in place.
The Expedition One Solution: An incredibly strong all-aluminum rack that utilizes a 100% no-drill clamp system, saving your hardtop from permanent damage. It is thoughtfully engineered to maintain clearance so you can still quickly pop off your front Freedom Panels.

Prop 65

California Residents

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.

The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov
