Might anyone know if these racks work well on a 2 door soft top jeep? Thanks for any help.

door skins do not snap to the top. any doorskin, designed for the jeep, should work. they seal as they would on any softop.

Hi there! You know, I honestly think they do. You're referring to Thule Cargo Carriers, right? If so, then yeah - the carriers have open loops on the bottom that should slide onto any roof racks. So these should indeed work out for you :)But just to be on the safe side, you'd probably wanna check out the Thule website and see if there's more info about it.

I have a 2009 Wrangler Unlimited 4 door. Had no issues with the soft top hitting the bar. It may rub a bit on the lights depending on which lights you put on it. Mine just hits the wiring harness a bit. That said, this is a great bar. Super strong.

If the factory half door uppers with sliders and the Bestop full soft doors have the same shape as the factory full steel doors, then this top will work. I have this top on my 1993 YJ with the factory steel doors. Hope this helps at all.

The bestop surrounds are the same specs as factory I had similar issues and had to perform a series of trial and error to what worked best I found that starting the zippers zipping them patrially helped then I always secure the top to the door surrounds first then work my way to the rear of the Jeep, remember the warmer the conditions you do this in the better once the top is on a while and molds to your Jeep it will become easier

I put them on a 13 jk. I was able to make it work. On a TJ I bet there is enough room for the brackets. The other thing I did was tack weld the brackets just to make sure they will stay on. The installation was quite simple and the brackets don't take up to much room. You should be good!

The bike rack goes through the center of the spare tire so if you have a solid cover this won't work. There are other racks that have a strap that wraps around the spare cover. You might want to look at these. The Yakima works great on a Jeep.

please try a regular one cycle rack from a different. If so, then this should work as long u have gap between the glass and trunk door border(above the number plate) to latch the top two hooks, u should be good.

I put the Universal roof J racks on my SUV and I love them. had a different kind before and I hated them. Our kayaks laid on a sponge thing before and I hated them but I love the universal Roof J rack. I'm sure they would work on track crossbars

They do come with mounting hardware for both bars. They were a bit hard to fit on my Mazda3, as they felt like that were just too long to fit perfectly in the holes. That being said, I use them to transport my canoe, and they work well enough. Don't know about the J racks.

Mark - I have full doors on my 2004 Rubicon and have no problem getting these strapped on. The strap actually goes between the door and that black plastic frame that hold the top in place. It's super easy to do. The part that is really "snug" is if you install it with the existing soft top still on but folded back. It is possible, you just can't fully zip down both sides in back. Since taking the whole soft top is a bit of a pain, I've generally just kept this in my Jeep and throw it on for days when i know know rain is in the forecast for a couple of days.

The top two arms and bottom two arms adjust independent of each other allowing a wide range of angles to mount the rack with. I had mine on a Dodge Magnum wagon and a Jeep Grand Cherokee and fitted the bike rack quite well on both. I don't think you will have a problem.

I have a stock TJ and it works fine. With that bike you should be ok since it's pretty light (I have the same one!). You'll just have to push it up a steeper slope since your Jeep is so high. This carrier doesn't have the best tie down options though.

I have had mine on my jeep for about 7-8 months and I have little to no rust on some of the tie down hardware. This is a great rack and I recommend the basket extension kit if you have a full sized Truck or SUV. I was missing a little bit of the hardware so I contacted the manufacturer and they overnighted what I needed. Real good customer service!!!

Good morning, I do not have the length of these racks, but it is not necessary because they can be adjusted +/- a couple of inches. They did not fit on my 2012 rogue, not because of the length but because of poor manufacturing. the rear rack was just a bit twisted and this implied I could screw it on one roof rail, but not the other as the matching holes were about 3 inches off the holes in the rail; bending the rack to meet the holes would have put stress on the rack and very likely break it, so I returned the racks. In fact I did purchase 2 sets of these racks from 2 different Amazon vendors. the first set did not work because of the problem just mentioned and I returned it, the second set was exactly the same from the same manufacturer in China and had the same problem, I also returned it. One vendor reimbursed racks and shipping and return, the second did not and I had to file a complain with Amazon. at the end the racks were reimbursed but not the return shipment. I still don't have a rack on my Rogue and found out I don't really need it! Good luck

I have mounted my 2014 grizzly 450 stock rack and they mount up great...i wouldn't mount them to anything skinnier cause they just wont grip it secure enough..so as long as the rails are equal or larger then the diameter of a typical atv rack you will be golden...i like em alot they work great i have read reviews where they broke in the cold i have yet to test this but i would recommend them...i own 2 sets and they are nice because they grip tight but have a soft touch to not damage a gun or bow stock
