I'm searching for help finding a tubular roof rack that matches the slant back lines for my JK Unlimited..for use with soft top or no roof. The catch: I want two crossbars not a whole basket. Do I need to have it custom made? Thanks!

I've seen a couple but not sure where they got. Instead of having custom made, maybe buy one then take it to weldor/fabricator and discuss how he can mod that back section to match your vehicle's lines. LOL: Might talk to him first, but I can't imagine it would be any real problem. A friend modified the front section of mine to make it compatible with my AEV snorkel--was only a couple hours of work.

The Wildboar one is the closest I've seen too..however the cage top (that I don't want) would account for a lot of the cost. $$

Here is another option:

Warrior Products | Renegade Roof Rack

It is mounted to the frame in the rear, a-pillar up front.

that's the one I am using also, Low profile for no wind noise or milage loss, strong when I need to carry a load.

Another home run from TF!

That's a great option to use with the hardtop but I'm hoping to find a roof rack to use with my soft top or no roof at all..
