Default What roof rack system is this??

I saw this JK at college game day at NC State last weekend (hell of a game btw!). I was wondering what roof rack system it has. It's exactly what I am looking for as you don't have to drill into your hard top. Anyone know? Thanks!

It's not a rack system per say. The rails are held on by clamps that hook into the rain guards an the hard top. I don't know who makes them though may someone else will chime in.

it could be a Thule but i saw a similar one up at MT. Sunape and it was a different name i have never heard of, I do know for a fact that Surco roof racks makes a system that requires no drilling, it's an adapter that mounts between the rear hardtop and tub rails.

Yeah the ski carrier is obviously Thule but not sure if the rack/rail system is. I believe you are right that it is clamped right into the rail guards.

I beleive it is the thule 305 mount. I forget what length the cross bar is. Any decent bike/ski shop will have different width bars and locks. These racks are always on craigslist and you can pick them up fairly cheap then get the propper cross bar. I use this rack on my jku for my kayak but originally bought it for my 82 volkswagen
