I am buying 2 stand up paddle boards and am not sure how I am going to haul them in/on my 2 door JK, soft top. Can I just take the top down and strap the boards to the existing bars? Or do I need to buy a rack? I'd prefer to just strap them to the existing bars, but I'm not sure they can handle the load and I don't want to f anything up.
I've seen some people talk about a "soft rack" but I'm not sure if that's a solution for a wrangler.
Any help or guidance is definitely appreciated!

If it's just an occasional thing, just strap them down. A rack is a better albeit more expensive solution. I picked up a trailer to haul my kayaks because my jeeps grown too big to keep loading them on top.

My kayaks are. 50-60 lbs each. I'd post a pic but the site won't let me. I carried mine and my wife's on top from Myrtle Beach to Nagshead and back in September.

Soft Racks still require a hard top to connect to or strap under. I can't stand them.
I'd just strap them down to your roll bar and windshield. Just put a towel down. That's what I do with my longboard when I have the top off.

This is what I ended going with for my SUP on my JKUR.
