Dear Off-Roaders,
I’m looking to install a roof rack on my wrangler TJ. I found that it is not possible to do camping with two adults and two kids with car seats in a Wrangler as there is no space left for camping gear.
Kindly note that I know all the disadvantages of roof rack and I can live with that as this is not my daily use car.
Please share your ideas, suggestion and thoughts about this, place to go for install/buy etc.
Regards,
Yasir

I am not sure about the price ( maybe around 3k ) but I have one suggestion which maybe a cheaper and more efficient . why don't you sell the wrangler and buy a Cherokee ?
What goes around , comes around .

I saw many options online range from 300$-1500$, will try to order from any reliable source.Abu Jimmy;34096 wrote:I am not sure about the price ( maybe around 3k ) but I have one suggestion which maybe a cheaper and more efficient . why don't you sell the wrangler and buy a Cherokee ?
Nice idea to change vehicle but will do it next year or later with new 4 door Jeep or Nissan.

I went through this same excersise before for me 06TJ. Ends up with the best thing is to fix an outer cage ( bolt on/drill) so there will not be any load on the hardtop.
You can get it customized . Or you can check with my (bling my truck) or Ramy4x4 to get it from usa with their shipments , it will take some time but no other choice , its very rare or imppossible to find here in stock.
the nice brand was Garvin Wildrness Ind.
other midway solution: is to fix rear trail rack lower basket one and another on top of the spare tyre. Can be easily custom made or find it ready near Al awir / auto market area .
all the best
