have a 2014 Jeep Wrangler softtop. Anyone know of a rack that can be installed without drilling holes in the body of the Jeep?
Not an exciting post, but appreciate any help

With the top off you could probably use standard surf straps and strap the board to the top of the jeep using the crossbars. Does your Jeep have 2 cross bars? With the soft top on, you could try some soft racks that go all the way through the inside of the jeep ( Wrap Rax, or similar) and place the pads on top where the 2 horizontal cross bars are located to support the pads and your board. You could also stop at your local surf shop, and they may have some rental soft racks you could try before purchasing to see if they will work for your vehicle. One more suggestion is to contact your local jeep dealer for different rack options available for your jeep. Hope you can find something that works!
