Hi Guys,
Long time lurker, first time poster
I recently purchased a Dozer yellow 2dr JK 2012 and am enjoying it a lot.
The idea behind the purchase was to have a fun summer car that could carry the bikes and stand up paddle boards around, as well as some beach 4wd'ing.
So I need a roof rack to carry a very basic 10 foot paddle board, with the following criteria;
- avoiding the huge units that bolt onto the frame/chassis as I still want to be able to use the hard top hoist in the garage, plus they are exxy
- 2 bar system is fine but the bars need to be as close to the front and rear as possible due to the length of the board (a 2 bar system that just utilises the rear section of the hardtop or just the freedom panels is useless on a door)
- happy to have a system that is attached to the hardtop
- got excited about the MBRP off camber farbications system but turns out it won't fit 2012 onwards (I think it is to do with the size of the side window on the hardtop)!
- thinking of using something like a Rola gutter mount one at the front, and a drilled in version (like a thule) at the back, but then i'm up to buy 2 separate systems!
So now I'm kinda stumped!
Is there any suggestions for people like me who have 2012 onwards 2dr hardtop that carry long boards on their roof?
Cheers
Alex
