It seems like a huge undertaking but i'd like to do it. Has any one done one or seen one ? link me. i'd like to have a look at your design.

 

I've made cargo racks before for hard top Jeeps, but never one that would work with the soft top. I would imagine that it wouldn't be very difficult to build one that attaches to your hard top, where the difficulty comes in is making it work with a soft top, or your freedom top panels. I say go for it!

 

Are you talking about an overhead rack or something that hangs off the back?

 

I've been thinking about making one for my soft top. I've tossed a couple ideas around. Possibly running legs down to the rear bumper and the windshield hinges or front bumper seems the most plausible.

 

Then it'll probably look something like this...

good luck. I'm no welder, I bought mine.

 

to clarify, i'm talking about a roof rack

 

I shortened an OEM Cherokee roof rack and installed it on my 07 hard top.

 

I permanently mounted a warrior rack to my hard top.... Have had no issues yet.... Had about 250 lbs on it for a 5000 mile road trip ..... Love it!!!!

 

TnT Customs in Cheyenne Wy makes a nice one, just like what you described below.

 

Hey man..would you send me a few pics of your setup? I am thinking of doing the same thing!
