Default Best Rack For The Axial JK..?

ive been eyeing this Pro-Line Rectangular Off Road Tubular Roof Rack [PRO6084-00] | RC Cars & Trucks - A Main Hobbies for a while now, but i wanna know which one looks the best, and whats the easiest to mount, and most functional, if anyone has pics and links that would be awesome!

im thinking of putting another lightbar up top or a police/patrol lightbar
is the reason I went with trail scout version rather than the aero style rack.

I think it looks good on the Tj.


Although I don't got a better shot of it, and I don't got a lot on it either.
Would look better with lights too me thinks.

I used that on my JK. I like it. Four small zip-ties are all you need.

thanks for the reply, i want it now more than ever, i think its pretty scale,
plus i like the width of the rack on the cage, and overall fit,

i hope it fits with the exo bar

Was just going to say the Yakima one you're seeing is the gearhead rc one sold through rpp. The Yakima and Thule stickers are sold there also. I have one and it's beautiful, bolts right up!

Yep, the GearHead rack uses the existing holes and take like 2 minutes to install. Looks great too. Look at the dinky rc rear tire rack too.
