Would a bag with two snow boards on top of soft top be a bad idea? They don't weigh much

Bad Idea!!!

Frame not strong enough or made for anything up there! Also the material move a lot especially at higher speeds and would wear quickly, even with protection.

Go Jeep!!!

Bad idea. Get a hitch basket instead. More useful and safe

I like those but I'm afraid I would forget it was back there and back into something! And I think Thule (?) possibly makes a snowboard carrier that does hook into the hitch.

If you are going to worry about backing into something with a tailgate hitch, keep in mind a lot of people (try to) pull into garages with loaded roof racks also. I would not consider putting something on top of my soft top.

If you have a 4dr--lots of room !

If you have a 2dr, you can probably fit them--are they over 50" ???
