Question:
Hi there. Im looking for a roof rack system for my 2019 Wrangler JL Unlimited that would allow me to carry 2 SUPs. I have the factory hard top and do not want to drill any holes in it. My preference would be to still be able to remove the freedom panels, if at all possible. It seems like this rack would work, but Im uncertain of what add-ons would fit to allow carrying of the two SUPs.

Hi Jason! The Rhino-Rack SG Roof Rack for Rain Gutters # RRSG59 will definitely fit your 2019 Wrangler Unlimited hard top. However, I believe the gutters are on the freedom panels so if you remove them the rack won't be able to be mounted.
The same is true for other racks as well. If I'm wrong about that and the gutters remain on your Jeep then you can pull the panels and still install the rack. This has a capacity of 88 lbs so as long as you don't exceed the rack capacity, or capacity of the gutters, you can carry your SUPs. If you need a higher capacity rack the # TH72ZA is capable of holding 165 lbs but you will still need to know the capacity of the gutters.

Hey Jason, did you find out if the gutters on your Wrangler stay in place when you remove the freedom panels? I'm curious to know if the Rhino-Rack or Thule WingBar worked out for carrying your SUPs. Your experience could really help others with a similar setup!
