I am looking for a roof rack that others enjoy. I want to mount my highlift, an axe and a 35" tire.

Is there an independent company that few know about that I should give my business too? (hopefully reasonably priced)

And dont tell me to search.. b/c I did...

thanks much

I'll never understand why people don't just keep their axe and high lift inside the Jeep, less likely to get stolen that way

Look up the Olympic Top Hat Rack.

One of the most used and best looking..

Gotta agree with keeping the Hi-Lift inside not just theft but weather too. I had no choice on my "49. It ended up so rough to operate that I ended up clocking myself upside my temple with the handle because the mechinizim was not working right. Sounded like I was inside the Liberty bell... no idea why I wasn't out cold! This one's going inside for both reasons... I'm not too nuts about having to heft a large tire up and down off the roof either, not to mention if you have to access a parking garage on a regular basis.

Not to steel the thread but I'd like to see some inside mounting ideas that folks have come up with for accessories...
