Roof Rack

I just did a search and I got 1million results
so instead of messing with that I'll just ask

I want to put a roof rack - my 09 KK does not have rails - what do I do?

But you dont have a 09 KK... your signature does not say anything about a KK :shock:

Just Kidding
I guess the man of the hour would be DIGGAH
he has a cool roof rack.

Just a small sidenote: If you have a skyslider on your kk then I dont think its possible to install a rack....

Well, to my understanding, all you have to do is remove the plasic cover and bam, you are ready. As far as I know, all KK's come from the factory with the studs already installed. If you have a SS, things are going to be toughter....

I'll see if I can find the first post about this later....

Well if you have a SS it is more work..

if you custome make one, you can add removable parts.
This way you can use a Rack just not the Top..

but maybe there is a weekenss issues with the roof being gone and replace with Cloth.....

Silver KK quite the contrary... you can instlal a regular rack in fact someone here has done it.. as long as you have cross bars and a mesh bottom that can be removed it wouldnt be an issue... just dont open the roof unless you take the cross bars off. The main issue would be if anything happened to the skyslider, jeep would definitely not cover it

Has he said for sure that he has a skyslider?

I should have posted more info on my KK - no skyslider on mine -
So, I'll get to work and see what needs to be done - Thanks for all the responses
I guess I have to update my sig - KJ has been gone for a while - replaced it with a Black KK

I have really wanted to install a rack on my KK since I bought it. My lying stupid dog of a salesman told me that there were aftermarket racks that would work. I can't wait to see what Boiler and Rock Lizard design for our KK's with SkySliders.
