I have the Gobi Stealth rack. I love it. It's very solid. We have about 300lbs of gear on it in the 3rd pic.

looks good, now can you still use the soft top with this rack.

basicly do you have to remove the rack to switch out hard/soft tops.

I have the Wild Boar rack.



One of the things I like about having this roof rack is it gives the illusion of making my Jeep look much bigger.

Not sure. I don't have a soft top. I believe it works with them though.

Here is my wild boar rack. It hinges back on hydraulic shocks to allow removal of top.

Nice looking rigs guys , what size boat on top of your jeep,

so it hinges back to make it easy to switch tops I like that idea makes sense. I found a pic of a top here does anyone know the brand looks like it has a ladder on the back .
