Indeed interesting, also as was said it looks like it might not take the weight of a tent. I saw pictures and all they had on it were bicycles, I could not find it on the Bestop site.

Looks to me that it may have tabs that allow it to bolt to the holes that attach the hard top, might be a great solution.

Nifty.
I just want a place to put some firewood; I hope it's rated to at least 200 pounds dynamic....

i think the first rack sits below the top just like mine does 
i wondered when somebody would come up with that idea...
the other one i personally like for the looks but don't like because i wanna be able to take off the rack and leave on the hardtop...
here's a pic of how mine's attached:
and the rack, though not done yet:

oh, btw:
i got mine through the tough tech. inspection here in germany and best of all: they didn't put a weight limit on it.
(so i can even park a car up there)

that looks very strong,, currenty im debating into re-doing mine.
Im worried the front light bar will crack on the seems with the weight of my
roof tent, .

mine's a prototype too
i build it so that i still can take out the two front hardtop panels (well, i could take off the rear too, but where do i store that on the road)
i'll still add ight boxes like on my xj and put spare tire and spare can mounts up there. of course i will through on a storage box as well...
i've got all winter to do this

i'd rebuild it from an aesthetic standpoint. i'm all about form and function going together, not one taking precedence over the other. if it works, then good for you, but i'd rebuild it to look better.
not bashing it, as i'm too scared to even put my tent-cot on my roof rack! tehe...
