Going skiing with a soft top

[BL2.7SAS4DR]

Now that I'm getting a soft top, I won't be able to put skiis on the roof. I noticed that the ski/snowboard hitch is no longer available as an accessory. Does anyone have any experience with any trailer hitch racks that can accommodate a spare tire, rear camera, and the opening of the rear tailgate?

Check Yakima directly?

They make a hitch extender that should wok for you https://accessories.ford.com/kit-bicycle-mounting-vm2dz-7855100-e.html#2021/Bronco

Two options from Yakima - both swing for tailgate, a hitch extension should work for Spare tire, not sure of rear camera.

Yes, I've heard of Google. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this type of rack and if anyone knows why it isn't a Ford accessory anymore.

No, but there are a lot of Jeep owners that have. Maybe I should check out those forums.

Where do you think I found those photos

Got some pretty salty responses up there. The guy is asking for feedback, we don't need to shame him.

I have used carriers like these before. They work well. The only criticism is the ones that hang vertical, you are exposing the lower part of the board/skis to the road junk. If you are super protective of you base, I would recommend keeping a carrying sleeve on the skis.

Old thread but the mountains are opening now! I have a soft top with 11/8 build week and have been thinking something like below may be the best solution for me.
