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

Is it feasible to make independant cage mountings for the baby seats, remove the rear seat and store ur gear underneath? Or perhaps a tray over the rear tyre?

Also, the rear seat can easily be raised 6 inches to take gear.

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 ?

I saw many options online range from 300$-1500$, will try to order from any reliable source.
Nice idea to change vehicle but will do it next year or later with new 4 door Jeep or Nissan.

I have a seprate storage box installed for tools between rear seat and tail gate, hence this option will not works for me.

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

Dear [MENTION=3837]Maddie[/MENTION],
Nothing found here, although saw many TJs with roof-rack in Dubai.
