I have a 2 door JK with a Gobi. It's not easy to remove the hardtop but it does slide rearward under the rack for removal. Obviously you can't use a hoist to lift it.
I do have to remove the shovel and ax brackets before sliding out the hardtop. Also, it's best to remove the rubber bumpers from the hardtop where it meets the Freedom Tops to get extra clearance.

I run the Warrior Products Safari Rack, I normally have the basket off unless I need it and just run with the cross bars this still allows me to throw the canoe or some 2x4s up there. The basket goes on/off with 6 bolts and the top of the rear cross bar comes off with 2 pins if you wanted to hoist the top off, I usually just lift it a couple inches and bring it back until I clear the rear bar.

This is absolutely what I'm looking for. Now I need to start a thread about whether or not an ARB Simpson roof top tent will mount up there. Thanks again.
