From memory, the weight capacity of the hard top is only 35kg.

That's why if you look at all the heavy duty roof racks available for the Wrangler, they are either the exoskeleton type that doesn't touch the top or they are mounted through the top and fixed on the internal roll cage.

So what you propose would have several kilos of steel, the weight of the rooftop tent, plus 1 maybe 2 humans sleeping.
