Default Best Quality Roof Rack?

OK. tried searching, not coming up with very much.

I have a 2 door. I am looking at maybe getting a roof rack for it. I need it mostly for hauling small amounts of lumber from the depot, etc. I did fit (6) 2x6's (8' length) the other day, but that was with the rear window open, and pushed up against the glove compartment. I NEED a better way. I have a small trailer for this, but sometimes I need to get things while I am out. You know?

Anyway - Who makes the best QUALITY roof rack for 2 doors? any thoughts? I REALLY would prefer no body drilling, etc. Thanks everyone!

I suppose best quality can be subjective, but there are some good ones out there, I think for what you want maybe a gobi rack as they tend to be full racks.

At the moment it seems like Gobi has the best quality, and most versatility. It is the only rack other than Kargo Master to mount to the frame rails that I know of. Also with the ladder to make accessing the rack easier is nice.

Default roof rack.

I'm in the same boat you are, however I want to eventually put a RTT on the roof rack. I'm leaning towards the Gobi but I'm waiting to hear more about this one from Treks: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...ight=roof+rack Good luck.
