Here's a couple of previous posts on the subject.
http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/hard-top-roof-rack-619761/?highlight=hardtop+rack http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/i-built-roof-rack-615037/?highlight=hardtop+rack I don't know what the mounting surfaces are like on the Gavin. The KargoMaster Safari Basket has 2 wide flat rails running all the way across with sliding nut plates inside the channel. It seems like it would work very well IF the hardtop is completely flat across a good portion of the top. Remember that downward pressure may not be the only concern. Bulky loads could produce an upward pull on the highway. I would use giant washers or a plate on the inside to spread out the load.
