I realize this is a long shot....

I previously owned a 97 tj that I purchased used (by far my favorite vehicle yet). The po installed a roof rack frame and confer rack. The roof rack frame was mounted using the front windshield screws and to a bracket that was installed behind the tail lights. The frame followed the roof line very closely, allowing just enough room to wash the roof, and did not allow the top to be removed. The frame was equipped with mounting brackets/tabs for front and rear lights.

Given my vague description, does anyone know of a roof rack manufacturer that sells something similar? I am looking for one for our 2010 unlimited. Body Armor has one very similar, but it is significantly wider than the vehicle. My plans are to install a rack that runs the full length, and given how wife the Body Armor system is, I am afraid I will not find one that fits.

 

Look at Gobi.

I have the body armor/JC Whitney/Smittybilt version. See sig block for install writeup... Yup it's wider, but you can put the soft top down and put the hard top on. Whiteney includes the cross bars, RC tries to upsell a basket.

 

i like this one you should still be able to remove the top
