So I am in the market for buying a Rack System for my JKU. The only thing I will just it for is for putting two Stand Up Paddle boards on. As I am doing research there are a lot of the choose from. But the chooses get smaller when you add the fact that I still want to be able to put down my soft top. So I am hoping that some of you can guide me in the right direction. I have kind of narrow it down to three racks, The Warrior Water Sports rack, Garvin Adventure Rack and the Sherpa Sport Rack. Does anybody have any one of the three on a 4 Door and maybe can post some pics. The only pictures I can really find are the ones that the manufacture puts up. And all three manufactures state that putting up the and down the soft top with easy. Which is something I have a hard time believing. Also I have been trying to find videos of these racks in “action” so to speak. But really couldn’t find anything. So any reviews would help.

I looked at racks, but worried that I had a problem with my garage, so I bought a trailer from Northern Tool (under $500) instead.

 

I know it's not what you're looking for... hard top rack... but Yakima works great for me. No clearance problems with the crossbars off.

I have the Rugged Ridge Shepard:

Best deal I have found, however Jason at Krawl Offroad matched this price
11703.02 - Rugged Ridge Sherpa Roof Rack 07-14 Wranglers 4 Doors







This is what I liked best about this rack is the windshield mounting points.


Top off


Overall I like the rack, I am building a custom basket for it as I bought this with the intention of modifying it.

 

We have a Patent Pending Roof rack coming out here in October. The roof rack allows you to access your soft top without removing any of the gear that you have stored on the roof. We will have pics here this coming week. Give us a call and we will be happy to help you out if you have any questions on it!

Thanks

Looking forward to that!!

 

I can't wait to see this.....I can order it when I order my bumpers and sliders.

 

It has been in the works here for quite a few months, We should have pics here within a week! We are very happy with how it turned out, its unlike any other rack on the market, especially since it allows access to the soft top. It can also mount LED light Bars and it has a bunch of other features as well.

 

I have LoD front and rear bumpers and sliders. They are very well made. Can't wait to see the rack. (there goes more of my money)

 

About 6 weeks ago I ran over to LoD to pickup my front bumper and they had the prototype roof rack on the shop jk and it looked pretty nice!!
