Roof tent rack w/easy liberty panel removal?

I have a 2013 2-door. I'm interested in a rack for a roof tent. Ideally, I'd like the ability to remove the liberty panels while the rack is on without major issue. I'm guessing there's a few out there where you can slide the panels out from under it.

Anyone have a setup like this, or a recommendation for racks to check into? Thanks!
 
I had a Pioneer from Rhino Rack...I was able to remove the freedom panels

Have the rhino rack pioneer platform on both my Jeeps and I love it. Super low profile, attachments for anything you can think of, supports plenty of weight and I have 0 issues getting the freedom panels off. 20190824_181413.jpg

Nice. I didn't see Ed's post above. I guess the backbone doesn't just rest on the gutter of the hard top.

Correct. The pioneer platform mounts are through bolted to the backbone which transfers the weight to the tub. The downside is you need to drill though the hardtop to complete the installation and you can't use the rack when running topless.

Ahh, that's right. That's why I went with the cage so I could do either top. [emoji106]

The back bone mounts around the window on to the tub.

Eds picture above with the platform mounts a little bit different. The AEV mounts mount to the roll cage.

But in both cases yes you have to drill through the hard top, can't use the rack topless but either should support the weight of a tent and occupants. 20190823_211119.jpg20201116_170551.jpg20190824_141902.jpg20201116_170533.jpg

Kms

2x for the KMS Congo Pro Rack. Rock solid rack, perfect for RTT. I can even change between soft top and hard top without completely removing it.
