Default Roof rack for soft top

I love the jeep but the only thing that let it down was the lack of item space, like when goin campin with a few people in your jeep and so on. So ive made a bit of a rack system so i can put stuff in the rack above the jeep. It will be colour coded in gettin painted now. It all goes together to allow easy removal. The back bar fits into a sleeve hidden behind the rear bar and there is a bolt that holds each side into place. The front bar uses exisiting bolt holes on the front widow, and the cross rails clamp over each end and bolt through. No extra holes or modifications to the body. so can be easy removed without knowing that it has been on. Let me know what u guys think, im pretty impressed.
