Well, I have an old school, type roof rack made by Con-Ferr (non-existent). The rack bolts straight to my hardtop with a sort of door hinge setup. No lights up top since those usually get really beaten up on the trails. Not to mention having a lot of weight up there will cause the Jeep to lean a lot more. The newer type of racks mount to the body of the Jeep which allows you to have the rack on a soft top Jeep as well as no top.

I'd look at the Garvin setup though. They make a good one. I'd suggest making some type of protector for the lights or else keeping them small and cheap.
