A: Will it fit.... The short answer is yes. Would I recommend this rack, absolutely not for a soft top. I bought it for a 21 soft top unlimited. Due to the design the rack is very squeaky as you go over any kind of bumps. Also with the rack design it has vibration dampeners that rest on the back of the body near the tail light area. As you drive the jeep the rack sways back and forth due to the design. The dampeners help stop that. But the problem is that it also will rub your paint off as well as dent you jeep. I removed the rack and am now looking for alternatives. I will be contacting them to see what if anything they will do about the damage to my jeep because of this rack.

A: It will fit but you will have to modify your rear bumper. You will also have to remove the rear bar to raise or lower a factory soft top.

A: Yes

A: I don’t think it would work. It’s designed to give you just enough clearance to take the hard top off. 

A: DO NOT KNOW I HAVE A SOFT TOP

A: I've been responded by smittybilt customer service :" ven. 13 nov. 12:20 New reply for the ticket #SB00340793 Hello, The SRC roof rack can hold 300 lbs while moving and 700 lbs while stationary. Thank you, Chance Parks Smittybilt Cus" If it can help...

A: That is 300 lbs static weight. It will hold a roof top tent with 2 people as long as your max weight is less than 300 lbs.

A: I’m not familiar with that soft top, but the bars are easy to remove

A: Does not interfere with the blind spot monitor

A: I tried several things. Wind noise from 30min was reduced with a wind deflector from Yakima that is NOT made for this item but I tied it on the tube frame with some bungee cord. It reduced the highway noise a little, but still was just too much h for me to tolerate

A: Yes the Smittybilt SRC Defender Roof Rack - 77717 can be unbolted.

A: They would remain the same

A: Yes it does.

A: It will have to be body mounted or the bumper will have to be modified. Some stock steel bumpers have end caps that can be removed, just depends on the amount of clearance.

A: No it does not.

A: Soft top will not fold down without removing rear section of rack.

A: We're not sure - we have only tested this with our Smittybilt bumpers.

A: We apologize for the inconvenience we do have techs on stand by that can help walk through the install feel free to call Toll Free: 1-877-474-4821 Phone Sales (PT) Monday - Friday: 5 a.m. - 7 p.m.

A: No you can't

A: It has channel mount so anything up to 42”, you could mount 50 but would need to get after market clamps

A: Mounting lights. 

A: Yes there are three aux light mounts on each side then it has the mounts on top for mounting a bigger light. 

A: Static weight should be 700 lbs. (so yes, tent and people) while vehicle is parked. Dynamic weight is 300 lbs.

A: It sits about 4" above.

A: No it will not work with that top.

A: You will need to use the “body tub” mounts (not rear frame).

A: Yes this rook rack could work with the oem one touch soft top, the Smitty Bilt roof rack comes with removable cross bars for easy soft or hardtop removal. Thanks!

A: It is in the works. No ETA On when it will be available at this time.

A: This has removable cross bars for easy soft or hardtop removal. Thanks!

A: Not using the frame mount rear bracket, only with using the rear body top mount

A: If you mean does it come with a full length basket the answer is no. I believe Smittybilt makes a few full length baskets that would fit.  There are several companies that make full length safari baskets that will also fit on this rack. I chose this rack because I didn’t want to drill into my top and I needed something for my RTT. I have the tent mounted to the rear with a 4’ Safari basket towards the front. Let me know if you have more questions.
