Hey all. I was thinking about going to the junkyard and trying to get a roof rack off of something else to attach to my hard top. I have a 2 dr. Any suggestions on which vehicles to look for in the junk yard? I want this to look like it came from the factory.

The Nissan frontier roof rack looks good

I'm in the process, got two full racks for $20 from a couple Pontiac Transport vans This is where I'm at so far, I still have to cut the crossbars to the right width.

My rails are off a Toyota 4-Runner and the Thule stuff purchased off Craigslist. <$200 invested

When I first started looking for a rack I was contemplating doing the same thing.

But then I found the raingutter mounts......

Are you just popping those front end caps of each time you take a panel off? How it working driving with the fairing and the panels off? Seems like you'd get a ton of turbulence inside the Jeep, and wind noise.

Yeah, I just pull the end caps off when I take the freedom tops off. As for the rail covers, I have them on now. With the fairing and rails/bars on I don't have any wind noise.

Water re-reading your post I got what your asking. When I take the freedom panels off I take the fairing off. The only time I've drove with the panels off and the fairing on was when I was off roading and had stuff up top. It works fine up to 55 or 60 (with 0 headwind). Haven't gone anyfaster in that configuration.
