The hard top on the JKs have two removable panels above the front seats, so a rack above that wouldn't be the best option. Well, I guess unless he never plans on removing them. Most racks allow you to remove the panels even with the rack in place, but what good would that be?
it has cross my mind.. actualy I welded some brackets on the front portion to be able to bolt either a basket or 2 scepter water can holders in the laying down possition,
future mod..
