Default jk roof topper

Hey guys has anyone put a tinny on there jk? Looking at different options for touring and wondering of the likes.of the Gobi/ Baja / uneek racks are up to it? I personally have a 3.7 stacer which I'd use just after some photos or info of anyone who has done or seen it and how it went
Cheers

Haven' t put a tinny up top (carry kayaks etc instead) but the rhino backbone system will hold 120kgs, which is what I have. Being rhino racks you can use all of their normal accessories. So I guess if the weight is ok then it would be possible. I would imagine Gobi, sharpwrax and the like would carry the weight as the hold rooftop tents and the like, boat rollers for loading would be the question not sure how they would fit. Hope this helps.

Purplexj how much did the rhino.backbone set you back? And Bryan I really like the frontrunner racks I think.I'd go with the full length on but at this stage it's my rack of choice do either leak or anything where they go through the roof

I installed the half rack myself. No leaks at all and its been through some heavy winter storms.

I chose the half rack so I could open the front sunroof (can't remember the correct name)

My mate loaded a 12 footer for a trip from Perth to Augusta with no problems.

BJC101, the rhino backbone 3 bar system was $1097 fitted (take $200 off if you are not lazy like me and want to fit it yourself).
