One idea I saw in another thread was to install a light bar and one of those extensions that Thule and Yakima sell that attach to the hitch receiver. Way less than $1000, mostly if you buy used.
I'll likely go that way on mine. I have a Thule rack rail and basket on my hard top but plan to go soft top in the Summer.
By the way. I am planning to buy a kayak but have no idea of which. Any recommendations of good forums or websites about this topic?

When I'm not pulling my kayaks in my trailer, I use the foam roof blocks you can pick up at most places that sell kayaks/canoes. Two per kayak (I haul two kayaks on my soft top) so a total of four needed for me. Keeps boats elevated of soft top with no damage. I think all four cost me around 50$.
