    Where are you all getting your soft top metal racks?

    only ones I see that look cool and useful, like pictured below, appear to all be custom or DIY

    the couple blocky square tube ones I see on the market are more expensive and look ugly…
    I think MobTown made a good one but they closed down.

    These are pretty cool. I never really considered them because the only ones I’ve ever seen stick out a lot and are kind of awkward. These are nice and snug. Can the softopper still be opened up?
    Edit: Looks like maybe just safari mode which isn’t bad either!

    that I don’t know
    And idk how portable they are like if cages come with disconnects to make them store compactly during times of removal
    Versus being some giant one piece cage

    I see Heavy Metal Off Road sells two bars/loops for $549 but there’s nothing connecting the two together for gear mounting

    Must admit the only one I’ve seen in person was on a ford f150. It was kind of bulky.

    actually looks like HMOR offers more parts and mounts at added cost
    Doesn’t look as good as the NLA Mobtown 2-bar rack though

    And the price altogether is more than a shell…IMG_5064.jpg

    Damn, that starts adding up really fast! Especially since I would want damn near everything!
