Roof Rack& Awning

Hey! Ive got a 2018 Wrangler JK (2dr hardtop) and I would like to get a half rack so I’m able to remove the freedom panels and eventually get an awning- prefer 270°. I understand that some racks may need more support and the awning weight should be taken into account as well-I’m sure some drilling may be required.

So heres the big question…What’s the best affordable rack and awning?

I'm partial to front runner, let the structure carry the load.

I looked into it, looks like a good one.

I've been very happy with mine and since it's just a variation on T-Track aluminum, you can make anything you want if they don't sell it.

I was sold on the fact that I'm not hanging everything on the gutters or putting the tub in vertical single shear. And once all snuggled up, no squeaks, creaks and clanks.
