Suggestions on a Roof rack for RTT?

[NicoleHill]

Ive got a 04 wrangler. I've been interested in the body armor roof rack for the price and the option to mount some spot lights above the windshield, but it's lacking the cross bars for support of the RTT? Suggestions on this? I can't seem to find any other options for it other than adding a Thule or Yakima attachment but that would raise the tent almost 2-3 inches higher and I'm worried about the center of gravity. I'd rather try and keep the cost of a base rack less than 1k.

I use a Yakima for my RTT on my 09 2dr. It won't affect it one bit. I like it because it's lighter and more compact when I want to take it off.

Gobi Racks make a great rack for the TJ and JK's. Here are good thread that shows the Gobi on a TJ Rubicon.

I'm very happy with my Gobi on my JK.

I'm hugely happy with the Gobi on my JK as well, but beware that you may still need crossbars. I used Unistrut, or whatever knockoff electrical strut is available at home cheapo. It works really nicely, and is designed to bolt stuff to.

on my gobi rack, the u-bolts that hold u-joints in the front driveshaft of a mid 1970s Chevy were perfect for clamping stuff to the rack.

My Gobi didn't need additional cross bars to support my ARB RTT, I just used what came with the Gobi. Here's what the top looks like now, solar panels weren't there with the RTT of course.

I love the GOBI rack, but it was too expensive, i went with the kargo master safari
