You can look online to buy some, or simply make your own.
I made mine in a couple of hours, just cutting, bending and drilling for basic ones or you could always tap the back bar to eliminate the need for nuts

i made some out of stainless shelf supports and angle iron, all i used was a cut off wheel and drill, cost was $0. if you have skills they are pretty easy. OR maybe your time is worth less than $34, those jcr brackets look pretty sweet.

i have a custom rack that i put on the factory supports, and it works great so far the distance between the roof rack and the roof of the jeep is a bit far for my taste but i can still use the sunroof, i ave had hundreds of lb. up there with no trouble
