You need a roof rack for the tent. Doesn't matter if the jeep has hardtop, softop or no top. I have a gobi rack on my jk for the tent and have run with no top/soft top.

How does it attach to the roof rack? Do you need the basket? Or just the frame?

It's usually just the frame of the roof rack -

So the tent usually comes with some kind of floor that hooks up to the frame?

The tent has rails that run the length of the bottom.

A special "washer" and a bolt goes through them.

You basically slide a bolt into place on each side of a roof rack rail. They are then connected by a plate allowing you to bolt the thing to your roof rack.

This is what i ordered for the simple fact that it can pivot to the back of the jeep to get the roof off. RTT should be great up top!
