yep, was thinking about that if we had smaller items to store or accessories. Looking forward to seeing yours before I commit to one.

Badass Tents Rear Half Roof Rack installed on 4-Door Bronco MIC Top
I was trying to decide between getting the short rack only, or the full rack (which can be configured to short rack only). I have a Bestop Sunrider, so I'd rarely need the full rack and the full rack bars would be in the way most of the time. Anyway, I bought the short rack, and Roger at Badass Tents said they would sell me the balance of the parts to convert to the full rack later on if I decided I needed it. Just FYI.

Good option.... side note if you go full rack and want to swap to short rack then you may need the 2 additional inserts they send with the short rack. This is where the long rack connects but without the long rails the space is void on the short rack without the inserts. They show it in the install video as reference.

Really? There aren't 4 cut outs on the 2dr rear cap? Ive never seen one (a 2dr hardtop) so i wouldn't know. Thats a serious design deficit . . . Even Ford's own prototypes had plans for a rear cap only roof rack. That would mean you would have to thru-bolt attachments for a rear cap rack. See photo.

Serious design flaw, and someone said that cap is longer than the 4dr making it even more useful with a rear roof rack!Nope
I just want something I can attach a ski rack to. This could work if Yakima or Thule done come out with something. Not sure about the size of the crossbars for mounting a rack though.
Do you think you could lift the roof by the rack? It would really make hoisting it in the garage a 3 minute task.

We have a hoist in the garage we use to take the top off now with straps... the cargo brackets tuck inside the back cap pretty good. Not sure about stress on crossbars holding 70 lbs (MIC weight) from opposite position without being bolted in. hmmmm
yup, I want some else to try it first. Wouldn’t it be nice not to have to deal with straps and crap.
I like the look of this rack! will they make a full-size one like the factory roof rack? This one is too small for me.

yes, they have 4 door and 2 door options

That's GOT to fit on a 2D, right? I love the look - that's what I want on my 2D.Here are some shots for those looking at the option.... no issues so far besides fedex scratching the brackets lol
Badass Tents team has been great on communication and customer service for any issues as well.
