Looking at some Exposed Racks.

Wondering about the experience anyone has had.

Also wondering if I can leave them installed with the factory hard top installed.

Thanks!

Do you mean an internal cargo rack? If so I’ve been pretty happy with Hooke off-Road JLU Cargo Cover Basket Rack: https://a.co/d/2jEN4Oo

Works with my SOT so I don’t think you should have any issues with the hard top. I went with it because it can hold 300lbs.

So far no squeaks or rattles and it’s made the cargo area a lot more usable.

No, not a basket. It's a set of rails that attach it the sport bar, and allow you to carry things like a kayak with no hard top on.

Might want to call and ask. I know they have them for the soft top where you can leave them on,but not sure what the space difference is between hard/soft tops on the interior side. When I’ve called them, customer service was great. I imagine they’ve had that question before.

I have them on my hard top and they’ve held up and performed just as expected. I have the click-in version and I can take my RTT off/on by myself within 15-20 minutes.
