Looks like you've got just enough rack length to hold er steady....
Here's what I fought and just gave up on (the FJ Cruiser carries my boat now)
Attempt 1 was hopeful, but nowhere near stabile enough. I've got a soft top so there was no real way to brace up the bow up front.
Attempt 2...
Well, I thought I was being slick by ordering a couple used ones off eBay, $70 total. Installed them, and one was already blown and popping.... Problem is, I ordered from 2 different sellers and don't know which was the bad one.
oh well.... the one does sound better though.
I get that, but the "different car" they use them in don't low-key market something close to an IP rating on the dash and components. The old "you can hose out the entire interior!" portion of the "Jeep thing" is still a thing.
I've got a used pair coming from eBay, but i've got a silly question...
Is there any reason to be more cautious of rain with these? i.e. do the factory ones resist water better than the coaxial version?
I'm all about my Premium Twill top, it has only been annoying going ~80 and passing a semi with a cross wind. It thumps loud enough to spook me.
regarding your situation, if you're OK with the appearance of the sail cloth, you might try this:

I love mine, waited and waited for Bestop to release the Supertop in Premium twill, matching my soft top. if you have standard sailcloth, they offer that too.
They did a good job matching the topper's heitgh to the factory top.
I've seen a couple photos of the Softopper, but I think the extra...
OK, so.... it Was, on my way home from work. then it started cooling off and I started getting into traffic. there was nowhere I could go that was 11 miles away, and would be 1 degree warmer, and still let me run 77... I was very disappointed in myself.
And don't think I didn't consider a...
Devil's advocate here, I don't run the center headrest, and I'd skip the side ones too if I could figure how they come off. If/When I DO finally get it together and buy a set of these covers, I'd personally prefer the holes into the headrest mount be covered from ingress of water & Dust...

I will recommend this upgrade every time someone posts this topic, and I won't say a damn thing about the search function!
I paid out of pocket for this glass, and it has easily paid for itself time and again. Even if insurance would buy a...
Yeah, I wouldn't sweat it. As a long time camper, and a lazy camp-striker, I can say the mildew (not likely black mold), will come back but you just wipe it down with vinegar once a year after storage and get back to using it.
Its really not going to damage the equipment unless it gets to the...
Steering started a light click a week or two back, then it settled into a creaky creak... I had searched and come across several different root causes, most of which involved "re-torque everything". As the start to that process, me and a buddy took turns sawing at the wheel and feeling...
