[QUOTE="Anybodyhome, post: 428838, member: 19161"] This is the Smittybilt Defender rack I installed a couple years ago. It consists of gutter mounts above the rear doors and the rear mounts are integrated into the rear window hinges. The rack runs about $400 and the Jeep mounting kit is another $100. You can remove both panels and, because of the rear hinge mounts, you can remove the rear hardtop without having to remove the rack. I'm 6'6" and about 285 and when I load the rack for a trip, I can reach up and pull myself up on the bumper and I stand on the rear tire when I'm working from the side. This is stronger and tougher than anything I would have imagined and I highly recommend it. It comes with light mounting tabs and there are other brackets you can get for your hi-lift jack, etc..
