Seems like it'd be nice if there was one....

Anybody know of one?

Suzuki sold some roof bars over here as an OE accessory. Very similar to the soft top bars in style but much more common.

I have a tubing bender and welder what more would a guy need?  I've made a few for Jeeps and now that I have a 1990 Tracker soft top I've thought about building another one.  I'm sure that the 4-doors have rain gutters to mount to don't they?  Maybe we could work something out.

True, but there is that roughly 1-half inch inside lip that runs the length of the top on both sides...

I'll check the Thule website to see if there is anything there...

I'm not sure if I am ready to fire up the wire welder just yet, That '93 JLZ is so, well -- nice looking!  And I am somewhat the master of the Booger-weld right now...

Thanks for the tips!

Where you located? I have a pair of 48" Thule rack bars that I had on a 92 4-door for skis and mountain bikes.  Still have the mountain bike racks also, ski racks are gone.
