Question:

Hello! I have a 2022 jeep wrangler 4-door 4xe with one touch sky-top. I want ikamper skycamp 3.0 4 person root top tent. Which roof rack do you recommend to support the weight? Id love to put a RTT on gutters of the vehicle, but am not sure if it will hold the weight of the tent plus 2 adults+1 toddler. So I am open to mounting a roof rack on the backbone, as long as it will support the weight. However I was advised that due to my vehicle being 4xe+one touch sky top, there may be wiring around where they need to drill on the backbone and may cause problems. I dont mind too much if the sky top does not open as long as I can occasionally get the roof rack off and just enjoy the jeep itself. Thank you in advance for any advice!

For your 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4XE with the one-touch sky top roof, I recommend going with the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711220 with the Rapid Gutter Feet for Thule Crossbars - Rain Gutters # TH33ZR.

This crossbar setup will allow you to mount a rooftop tent like the iKamper SkyCamp 3.0 or the Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 Rooftop Tent - 3 Person # TH8001KSK05 onto the roof of your 2022 Jeep Wrangler 4XE.

Additionally, these crossbars have a maximum dynamic weight capacity of 165-lbs, and measure 60" long x 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall.

The dynamic weight capacity has to do with what how much weight the crossbars can handle while in motion, however since you'll be parked when you're using your tent you'll just want to pay attention to your tents capacity and make sure you're not overloading your tent.
