The Avocato

Jeep build update: I bought Roscoe new in 2011.  It's a Jeep Wrangler JKU Sport. The "U" stands for Unlimited and means nothing more than the 4-door model. I negotiated a hard top and a soft top during the original purchase of Roscoe but sold the hard top two years later for lack of storage room at the house.  I will soon install a roof rack and roof top tent, but in order to do that you have to either install one of those external racks that look like they are caging the Jeep or get one of two available systems out there that connect internally, to the roll bars, which require a hard top to be in place.  I don't mind the cage look but I am skeptical of the rattling they will invariably develop at some point so I re-bought a used hard top a few months ago (exactly the same style and condition as the one I sold in 2013) for $200 more than what I sold it for.  The Rhino-Rack backbone system roof rack is what I'll be installing.  Example of external rack cage
