Low profile soft top roof rack - JcrOffroad

[JcrOffroad]

We’ve been working on a useable, low profile design for the 4dr soft top.

This is a pretty tricky build, getting it to be sturdy enough to be usable for an RTT is no joke.

The side/chase rack frame can be used to mount rotopax and other gear as well.

The back top can tilt up with the rack installed.

I think we are close!

Any ball park figure (estimate), to what this is going to cost?

Looking good!

As of now I can barely make a list of things I want to put on top so I'll continue to push off a rack purchase

It really needs to retain the soft top functionality. This is by far the best-looking option for soft tops yet tho.

Will the front section be easily removed so I can run with just the chase bar until I need the platform?

I just don't see that being possible. This is a great option for those who settled for a soft top to get their Bronco sooner.

You have my attention - pending functionality and removability. Love the clean low profile look.

I want to know this too. I dont know if its even possible but even a small rack (thing cargo hitch carrier size) up there would be useful to carry some stuff without impeding the soft top functionality. No idea what's structurally possible. I assume you need to triangulate somehow but no real idea.

I am once again begging for a half roof rack that only goes over the rear windows and allows for the soft top to go into position 1

As long as the back opens up I’m sold. I want a roof rack to mount a tent, if it doesn’t fold I don’t mind.

Not going to happen. Two objects competing for the same space.

as far as a full length roof rack that connects to the windshield accessory points go, I totally get that. A full rack just doesn’t meet my needs, a back half only rack is the sweet spot. Seems like a race for the first manufacturer to make one

I get this part but will the platform section be removable while leaving the back hoop on?
