Gutter Rack for 2dr?

[nioin3k]

So I was looking at roof racks for my Wife's '24 JL 2DR Wrangler Sport, and the DV8 seems to be popular, but I found a Garvin on Facebook Marketplace. Problem being, in the description it's for 4dr only, despite having a very similar design to the DV8. I noticed it's heavier and it has 4 mounts instead of 6. Both would mount to the freedom panels which apparently is not a good idea. Use would be for camping gear, hopefully not to exceed 100lbs.

Garvin Hardtop Cargo Rack (60lbs)
54”W by 51.5”L

We were trying to keep the cost down, hence the marketplace. I noticed the nice mount to body/bumper ones run around 2k, but at least I wouldn't have to worry about what I'm hauling. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I never quite understood Ryan why the people at Dee Zee racks https://www.deezee.com/home/productdescription/14619/Roof-Rack didn't make 2 door JL offering out of their existing product, or why they advertise it for 4 door JL[U], but you might want to check it out and ask them if they'll sell you that forward portion of the rack that fits on Freedom Panels. I can't see why you couldn't install it further back.

Good luck.

It's possible to cut down a 4-door DeeZee rack to fit a 2-door: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...storage-ideas-area.81229/page-17#post-2746544
