Probably the only way unless you throw them on top and strap them down. Lil iffy

I used to do four across the top with J bars. The inner two were a bit of a pain and the outer two were right at the edge if the roof rack, but it worked out. After doing it that way a while, I got a trailer. Way, WAY easier. ? Good luck.

Use a trailer unless you plan on putting one or two IN the Jeep with you or having someone drive separately w another set of racks…..a trailer is pretty much your only choice. Btw we have a hurricane, a wilderness and some Walmart one for my youngest one

Get a 24″ lift on your Jeep, strap two on top and two under it. Don’t strap over your driveshafts.
