Roof Rack for Soft Top??

[Juicy]

heinous, do better.

does anyone know whether the SMS Exposed Racks will support a tent? probably no...

Weight capacity is 165 so probably not lol. i put a link in this thread of the only one i have found that mounts on a soft top and can hold up to 800 lbs they claim

The 4wp concept had a bracket for a soft top roof rack, but that hasn't happened. Anybody know of anything that's available yet?
Seems like a good opportunity since 90% of broncos will have soft tops for the next year or so.

This is a new concept that my company will be working on. The patent has been submitted and (hopefully) production starts in the near future. Thanks and any input/ideas is always welcome.

I had thought of building something off of the rock slide engineering spare tire EZ Rack

For today to get my canoe home I used foam blocks. Tensioned the front down so the back of the canoe barely put any weight on the soft top(floating). I'll be looking at adding some type of support to my spare tire for the back.

Aright, Arrright. Like the way your thinking.
Mine is just PVC pipes but it should be plenty to carry our tandem kayak. Also used the Quake Led bracket like another member used for the front. I haven't tried it yet but i think should work.

Any trouble with the rear tilting forward or backward?

Just ordered the EZ Rack thanks for the proof it works! I think PVC will be enough strength the canoe only weighs 70 lbs and only half of that weight should be on the back...

The accessory ready mounts at the top of the windshield for an LED light bar.... Is there a single rack or bar that can mount to there? Is it even strong enough?

I'm think that could be the front rack and then get one of those hitch mounted racks that go straight up and have a bar at the top for the rear.

I'm trying to figure out something for my canoe and kayak with the soft top. I know about the Exposed Racks and they're great but not so much for multi day trip where there might be rain and I need to close the top.

Did you ever find a simple solution for a single crossbar for the windshield mount? The Quake LED bracket solution seems doable, but I'd rather buy it ready-made

I bought the Quake LED light bar and brackets. It made my soft top buffet and flap something fierce when going over 40 miles an hour. I took it off and am looking for something that doesn't do that. Anyone try anything that works?

No, I went with a trailer. I built this from an old M416 trailer. Store my boats on top and ready to go whenever. Camping gear good inside trailer for boat camping trips. Works well.

I did see another guy who actually fabricated my idea on here but I don't remember where. He made a crossbar for the front and got a trailer hitch. He said it worked well.

You are my hero! I was totally looking at this!!! Did you install it already? What pod lights did you use? No soft top flap?

 

[RCVBAF]

Texas Complete Bronco has this.

Sorry. I found it but didn’t buy it. Ordered the Quake brackets instead and will cash in a favor with my welding friend
