Expert Reply:

I have a roof rack that will work with the Thule Hullavator item # TH898 however you do not have to use Thule crossbars just ones that extend 4" - 8" past the legs to allow the lift assist function to work. For your hardtop 2022 Jeep Wrangler, I recommend the roof rack by Rhino-Rack and it includes the following parts:

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 71" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA180B-2

RLTP Leg Adapters for Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Track Mount - Qty 4 item # RRVA-FK1-2

Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Legs - Gutter Mount - 4-5/16" Tall - Qty 4 item # RRRL110S5-2

This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. The included locks will help prevent theft. The rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise.

The recommended bars for your Jeep are 59" long item # RRVA150B-2 and stop just past the legs so the 71" ones will be perfect for a Hullavator item # TH898.
