Mystery Soft Top Roof Rack spotted

[DWood]

Did a quick search and couldn’t find anything on here about it.

spotted it on Flex Rocks and Rollovers “24 hours of Hell and back -Arizona” on YouTube grabbed a few pics. Figured some of you sleuths could find out some info on it.
Edited: with a Instagram link

Just found my way to the same site via instagram.

This is great news. At least we know that it can be done without some giant cage around the vehicle. Other companies will be sure to follow with their own variations. I wouldn’t get this one personally, but undoubtedly there will be others coming with a lower profile.

Awesome. I just wonder how hard it is to get the side panels back in.

So you can remove the rear panels but not the top. Interesting.

Someone is going to have to come up with a rear panel that can zip and either roll or prop arm up. I have no desire to remove that back panel to access my cooler/gear every time.

Not a fan of the look either…but, promising nonetheless. This checks off some of the boxes.

The winner is going to be whoever comes up with a way to at least be able to open the roof to position 1 - when the rack is not in use.

What is the point of having a soft top of the rack prevents it from going down ?

 

[Hossamus Prime]

I like it, but seems to defeat the point of a soft top if i can't easily and quickly open it up.

Fun fact I originally wanted a Sport Badlands, with the Badlands package, specifically for the sun roof. All my cars except for one have had one and I wasn't going to compromise on it.

Once I realized a Sport wasn't a good fit for me, the soft top was the next best option for me. Why? Low effort to get it open, doing so doesn't take up cargo space like with a hard tip.

I'm impulsive but also hella anxious - I want to take the roof off on a whim driving to a camp spot, but I also want to be as prepared as possible if I need it back on. The hard top roof panels take up enough space that we wouldn't be able to load up camping gear, the dog, and have space for them in the back, even with a rack for storage.

Maybe it's a pipe dream to have it all but there's gotta be some wizard out there that can conjure it

I’m not an engineer in any way. I did some 3D/CG work for 15+ years - but, that in no way qualifies me. But, my thought is if the side rails are slightly off to the side a bit - just to clear the roof and big sturdy front bar that uses the mount points and maybe somewhere lower (think Gobi) - then rear mount points similar as well - but, the crossbars and platforms are easily movable/removable by sliding and/or lifting out for roof access only with the caveat that need to have certain components in place before driving.

Im looking for something like this but rather than a full cage rack, just bars to support a thule cargo carrier I have. I dumped enough money on the bars and carrier I really dont want to get a hitch rack.
But looking at the price of this soft top cage, Ill probably spend MUCH less just getting the hitch rack. BLAH.

Year ago I remembered a roof rack that could pivot at the rear of the vehicle when the front was disconnected, letting you put the soft top down and then quickly affix the front of the rack. Of course this was for a Wrangler, but the concept would be the same and I believe what most would be looking for, present company included.

 

[Bronc69]

Update: I contacted TC Bronco directly regarding a rack that could pivot out of the way to retract the soft top and reinstall easily.
He said his father has one of those on his Wrangler and they are planning on producing a rack that will indeed pivot and allow us to lower the top.
