In order to be able to use a roof top tent on your 2013 JKU with a hard top you'll need to use the Rhino Rack BackBone System, which reinforces the hard top and does not use the rain gutters that would normally be used to mount a standard roof rack system on the JKU. As a fellow Jeep JKU with a hard top owner, this is the only way that I would even think about mounting a roof tent on my baby and it's going to give you the capacity to carry a tent with ease.
The BackBone roof rack system uses the following parts # RRVA150B-2, # RRRLT600, # RRRJKB1, # RRQMFK06 to give you a really durable system for your JKU hard top and will work with a tent like the Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 Rooftop Tent - 3 Person - 600 lbs - Olive Green # TH8001KSK05.
I've linked a review and installation video of the BackBone system for you to check out.
