Good afternoon.
I am looking to build an overland jeep, and I really want to put a tent on the roof of my 2019 JLUR.
I think this would be so cool to do with my kids.

Problem is I have the Sky One touch, so a regular roof rack wont work.

I spoke to Alex at Gobi and he said they are working on one and hope to have it out in the next few months.
But the problem is after they release it there is also a minimum 12-16 weeks to get it, so I figure it will be a year or so before it is even possible to get.

If I were to get the regular one for the JL, with the quick release attachment, would this work?
I understand I wouldn't be able to retract it while moving like I am able to do now, but that is ok.

Is there any other option out there like gobi that could work?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Check LOD Offroad and see if the upcoming rack will accommodate it.

I may be wrong, but when you say fit, I am thinking that you mean the rack to ride high enough that the Power Top can be opened under it.

I say this because with attachment points at front and back only, the basic Gobi rack would fit I suspect, just maybe not allow you to operate your Power top with it on.

Regardless, why not peruse the forum's roof rack list for ideas. : - )

Yes - that is the one. LOD seems to have answered (kind of) the question.

Unfortunately, I think it is going to be difficult until someone comes up with a cage type like the JK safari rack or teh Rugged Ridge Sherpa rack for JK.

Running into limited alternatives for the regular soft tops as well.
