I’ve been hunting for a roof rack for my Jeep JLU to no end because I have the soft top. Gobi makes one to the tune of $2K, with no real idea of how long I’ll be waiting, but it seems that over the last year SOMEONE would have stepped in by now. I can’t seem to find a single one! Does anyone know of anything? I’m stuck in my build because of this, and could really use the collective brainpower of the group. Thanks!!

I couldn't find one for my pickup with softtop, so i built one
I wish I had those skills! I’m a leather worker and durable goods maker. I can make bags for the racks, but something tells me a leather rack wouldn’t work too well... hahaha

I am not 100% sure on the JL but I know on the JK if you want to use the sunrider you need a cage rack that's on the outside of the soft top frame. If not, then you will have to have the top complete up or complete down, no flip back.

Yeah, I may just have to go with a Gobi because of all of that. Or buy a hard top to go with any other option. Thanks!
