The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Legs # RL150S2 are designed to fit factory rain gutters on certain models of the Jeep Cherokee and Liberty. Unfortunately, there is not a rain gutter mount for your Rubicon. If you want to add the Rhino-Rack square bars shown with these legs to your 2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon you will need the following:

-Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars # RB1500B-2

-Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRLT600

-Rhino-Rack RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks # RRRTS547

-Roof Rack Leg Spacer Blocks for Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars # RRQMHD05-2

This is assuming you have a hard top with no existing rails or crossbars. If you want to stick with square bars but you don't want to install rails on the top of your Jeep, I recommend the Thule SquareBar Evo roof rack system instead. This will also allow you to mount the rack on your factory rain gutters. You will need the following:

-Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars # TH712500

-Rapid Gutter Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH93ZR

Keep in mind, if you don't want a bunch of wind noise square bars aren't the way to go. Some people get a rack like this and quickly decide the noise is too much. If you think that might be you, you can still use the Thule Rapid Gutter Feet with the aero-style WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711520 which will be a lot quieter.

I have attached some installation videos below for your reference.

Hey Ashley, In the past Thule has stated that rain gutters were strong enough to support a rooftop tent so you'd likely be fine with the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbar #RB1500B and Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Legs #RL210S2, but would still…

Thanks for the pictures! 2" hitches do not all have a 5,000 lbs capacity. The capacity varies by vehicle. That is an old Reese 06497 hitch and the sticker is correct. It does indeed top out at 3,500 lbs. It looks like this hitch came on all of…
