Seems like there are a lot of racks in the works but nothing ready for market yet. It would be nice to find one that would work for both hard and soft tops.

Off Road Logic shows a rack. Nothing on web site yet.

Thule racks are shown on the TV ads.(read the small print) Nothing on their website yet.
Yakima racks are shown on some of the Off Road Impact pictures on this website.

The user "meat" on the other jk forum "meats new rack" under "tech tidbits and writeups" did a bolt on THULE rack. I am doing the same thing, look for a writeup next week. My parts are supposed to be delivered UPS on Wednesday. I hope to install it this weekend depending on the weather. I ordered:

1 THULE 544 Lock Cylinders (4pk)
1 THULE LB50 Load Bars
1 THULE TK1 Tracker Fit Kit
1 THULE 430 Tracker II Foot Pack
1 THULE TB60 Top Track

from: www.ems.com

We'll see how it goes.............

Best of luck getting the basket on top though, it will definitely look cool

The real hard part is going to be getting it to come through the soft top and not leak. I'll see what I can come up with when my jeep actually arrives.
