I need haul about 200# of 15' pipe from Arizona to Montana when we head back to the north country this spring. I'm looking at a gutter mount roof rack similar to those used on vans for ladders and such. Anyone have any experience using one of these on a Jeep?

Thanks but those are out of my price range for a one time use. The racks I'm looking at are $70 from etrailers. I'm thinking one crossbar on the center of the freedom panel drip rail and one near the center of the rear side window. Put the load 1/2 on each side near the outside of the crossbar. ???

Sounds like you have the solution...for Freeway Pipe Supply Inc.

Why not put the load on the big trailer?
