Expert Reply:

Yes, the Rhino-Rack SG Roof Rack part # RRSG59 will work with pretty much any brand of roof box including Thule, Yakima, Inno, SportRack etc. I recommend the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH6358B or the Yakima SkyBox 18 Rooftop Cargo Box part # Y07336 which are a good size and should fit a few suitcases/skis no problem. I personally like the Thule Force XT a bit more due to the matte finish which blends in more and it is physically lighter but it really just comes down to preference between this and the Yakima SkyBox.

Hi Nathan, The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Legs #RRRL110S5-2 are a fit for the gutters on your 2023 Jeep Wrangler, but they are only 4-5/16" tall so you'd likely run into clearance issues with the sky top. To confirm you can measure up 4-5/16"…
