Roof Rack and Bike Rack for Soft Top

[Archer85]

What are the best (and reasonably priced) options as far as roof racks and bike racks for a soft top jeep? I have a mountain bike (im guessing only real option is a rack for the hitch) and a paddle-board as well as a kayak and want to know best way to transport them with my soft top JL. Any suggestions???

from what i've seen, it looks like the GOBI rack is the way to go if you have a soft top. It looks like you can tie down the kayak and put a bike rack on top as well.

Lots of options for hitch bike rack. If you’re only transporting one then I’d recommend the Yakima Single Speed or Thule T1. They let you carry your bike upright on a tray. Other options are cheaper but you have to mount using the frame.

As far as carrying a kayak with a soft top, Gobi is a great option but pricey. Someone on the forum built there own, so just do a quick search and the thread should pop up.

Thanks for the plug Gene @Saejin . Steve @Archer85 : don't hesitate to ask me questions on making a variation of the roof rack I made that suits your needs.
