Hello all, new here but I am an ex crawler who decided that was to expensive breaking stuff, I rolled a DD YJ wrangler wheeling 5 years ago and that was the end of my hardcore days.
Fast forward and i now own this:
Its The islander package, couldent really afford the Rubicons and 4 doors were no where close. But this package netted me the Rubi suspension and 32 inch BFG muds for just pittance more then a base model, so I got it.
Anyhow My main questions have to do with space, I want a rack and a RTT. Trailer right now is out of the question, no storage. Primarily looking at ARB because its pretty cost effective, Autohome is sweet but way to $$$ for me because unfortunately I live on the wrong coast (Maryland) so expo is pretty slim.
Any suggestions on 2 door racks, must work with soft top, I have no hardtop. I was looking at Kargomasters congo cage and Wildboars wilderness. I like both but im concerned the hump in Kargomasters will force me to mount any tent way to high, plus the wilderness rack looks like I may be able have some small storage below the tent which I'll need because I'll probably be keeping the back seat in most times. However the price on the Kargomaster is very tempting.
Any other storage tips and neat tricks from the few of you with small Jeeps would be much appreciated. I did search around and have lurked for a while but didnt see much specific 2 door tech, even though most crosses over, i definitely have space issues.
Sorry for the long winded post but ive learned more is better when it come to asking questions, hope to see you out on the trails and I will get west eventually.
