Roof Rack for 4 door Jeep Wrangler

[medxam]

I have a 2008 4 door Jeep Wrangler that I am contemplating putting a roof rack on. Mine has both tops, but the hard top is on, almost all of the time. Does anyone have any experience with these racks and can anyone recommend one from previous experience. Also how difficult is it to remove the soft top hardware from the rear compartment, to free up more space?

This link will give you an idea about what you need, There are a lot of manufacturers of quality racks so check them all. The good ones are hinged so you can fold them back to change tops, there is even one that folds back and has legs so you can put a tarp on it and use for shelter.
Putting a rack directly on your hard top won't work well because you will be very limited in the weight you can carry. Also vibration and body flex will cause cracks.
Instructions to remove soft top hardware are in your owners manual. Torx bit are a requirement if you own a jeep.
