Looking at a bunch of aftermarket racks on Amazon and can’t find one that will allow me to remove the front tops. Anyone find one $350 or less that they have installed successfully?

Thanks in advance.

You can certainly buy some things cheaper, it's all about research and buying things that aren't cheaply made. Cheap isn't always expensive and expensive isn't always better nor smart. I also don't like buying things just for the sake of brand names and them being highly priced. If it's a safety item like trailer hitches and shackles or recovery gear not doing research can literally be deadly is actually used, as plenty of online videos will show. If it's an area I can find my own solution or repurpose something else I find joy in that and for me I'm not going to spend $1000 on recovery boards when you can get quality boards for $100-200 nor am I going to spend $200-300 on a water bottle when I can get a high quality water bottle with true filtration for adventures (such as lifestraw) for a small chunk of that. On the other hand I'm willing to pay more for some Bronco or Bronco Nation items so for me it's about doing research and getting what works picking where I splurge and where I just get what is effective without cutting corners nor overspending. I found I didn't like most racks as the majority of them take away from the Bronco's looks without adding more function then others and almost none of them had the design/function I wanted. I wouldn't get a rack from Amazon but you certainly don't have to get an uber expensive one. If you find a rack you really like on Amazon and the materials look like a good fit and to be solid it could work but I would personally get higher quality hardware for assembling it.
