Can I Put a Tent on Top of My 1995 Jeep YJ with a Hardtop?

While we do have roof rack systems that will fit your jeep, the issue is that your roof has a maximum weight capacity of 100 lbs. Even if you got the roof rack system with parts # Y00426, # Y01126, # Y53TR, # Y00221, you wouldn't have enough weight capacity for a tent. For example, the Yakima Sky Rise Tent # Y07436 weighs 101 lbs on its own and requires a roof weight capacity of at least 165 lbs.

Your options from here is to either try to find an exo-style system to increase your roof weight capacity or use a tent like the Rightline Gear SUV Tent - 4 people # RL110907. It won't be the traditional overlanding experience, but it's still a way to integrate your Jeep in your adventures. You can also put an air mattress in your Jeep with the AirBedz Rear Seat Air Mattress # 341033.
