Roof rack

What’s everyone’s favorite roof rack solution without the hard top on? The JKU I bought has a rhino rack on the hard top but I’m looking for something for the factory roll cage
 
I don't know anyone here that still runs a rack at all, but if you want one that is still in place topless or not I like the Gobi Stealth Rack.

Yaaa I really don’t like the looks of the exoskeleton deal. What’s the conventional wisdom for a 3-4 day rubicon run with a wife and two kids. I’ve got an American adventure lab cargo tray on order just looking at options if I need more space.
 
Throw one of these rear storage trays in
Other than that not much more you can do in a jeep

Right on. Wasn’t sure if there was a generally recommended solution but this makes sense.
 
I get what you’re saying but I didn’t ask how much to pack.

I’m hoping to not need a roof rack but I also like to plan ahead and explore options. Thanks for your insight though!
 
I run a rhino rack platform with the Maximus-3 roll bar mounting system, have to drill through top but you can technically run it with or without the hard top. Has high load rating as well as it mounts to the roll bar. Maybe you can just get the Maximus mounts being you already have the platform

Leave the kids behind, remove the rear seats, and install a full Goose Gear setup with slide out drawers, a fridge, and a folding table on the tailgate. 😄

Maybe if I make it to retirement age but that’s not gonna happen now. If I’m understanding correctly I shouldn’t need to carry so much spare parts and/or gear that I’d need a rack.

how many spare parts/type are you taking? are you going with a group?
easy pedal work and picking good lines should keep you from breaking things, of course anything is possible but a precheck on the most likely to fail components would be what I would do if I didn't know what's been done to the Jeep.

Fluid changes (diffs, transfer case etc...), check hubs and u-joints, aftermarket drives shafts or stock?
