I would like to see what some of the creative minds on this forum could do with such a universal rack. I am certain that you could make something work for your needs.

The rack can be removed about as quickly as it can be installed. You would have to fill a few small holes in the hard top in order to make it appear as though it has never been installed. In order to have the strength to carry the weight we have designed it for, it does require drilling.

Great looking product. The proportions are perfect.

Unfortunately, I have no funds to pre-order right now (unless you take Quadratec gift certificates for trade?). But, when I can afford a rack this will absolutely be the one I get.

Great original thinking for the internal support frame. That internal frame also looks like a good place to mount storage things like a rifle rack.

The rack is and can be multi purpose for sure...when you're ready to place an order, let me know.

We are looking for a 2 door...actually just the TOP! If you are interested in being a part of the prototype/build give me a call and I would be happy to work something out with you.

Interesting rack, haven't read all the pages yet, is there a cargo bolt-in option you guys are planning? Like a platform of sorts that sits on top/in this frame?

Can you use this rack to store the removable top (rear section)? Meaning, if I disconnect everything to remove the top, as I normally would, could I just tie a piece of rope to the rack and lift it off my jeep. If so, can I leave it hanging like that for an extended period of time?

We are working on accessories such as a cage...We have also looked into making a full size rack that connects to the existing one and extents to the windshield. There will be many options available with time but we want to get the initial design to market as soon as possible.

You can certainly remove the rack and the hardtop together and the rack is solid enough to suspend the top with rope if you choose. It may make removing the hard top easier because you will have a way to secure it in the air. Good suggestion.
