Roof racks

Tried to do a search but no luck. I'm in the market for a roof rack. Any suggestions/advice?

With the roof rack options out there it depends on what your needs and budget are. I went with the MBRP roof rack. It mounts through the hardtop then is braced on the inside to the tub. Static weight carrying ability is 700# and dynamic is 400#. If you run a soft top or go topless but still need a rack it is not the best option. If you do not need the weight carrying rating it might be overkill. I also had a custom raingler net made for it. The picture is about 200# of gear supported by the net and it was solid.
