You don't say if you have the hardtop or softtop.  With the hardtop you
can go a couple of ways.  I use the Thule with fake rain gutters bolted
to the back above the windows.  If you don't like drilling holes in your
top Thule also makes extender bars for the rear bar to set the rear
saddle back a couple feet.  With the fake gutters I carry a Current
Designs Caribou (18') with no problem.
If you have the softtop I have been told that someone makes a rack that
bolts to the rear bumper and is tall enough to clear the roof, then
another unit bolts to the windshield. But I have never seen one.

great
blue heron as she lifts uncertainly from the brilliant blue of a
mussel-shell beach witnessed only by the brooding, wet spruce....your
passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
