Hello All,

So starting a new overland build with a New to me 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU 4dr.
Now I am beginning to research for options, and I figured who better to ask but fellow members right.

So as I said 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU 4dr with a Best Top Supertop Ultra.
Kind of want to be able to use my soft top when adventuring. So I guess looking for best of both worlds.

Is there a roof rack and tent that would fit my needs that will allow me to use my soft top?
Besides the Gobi rack I hate the way that looks.

Now I'm in the center of New England so we get all four seasons.

Suggestions?

You could maybe look into Garvin industries or kargomaster. I am not sure what they have available for JLs.

Garvin, Barricade, and SmittyBuilt all have racks that will work for the JL with soft tops. I am also exploring my options and these are some that i have looked at.

With Timberwolf (my 2019 Sahara JLU) i am more interested in the weight capacity, since i plan to urs it for storage and awning mounts. I also wanted something that did not create a bunch of wind noise. Still shopping, but just some thoughts.
