Regarding the Under Soft Top Roof Rack (Quadratec Part #: 12156-1000 | Exposed Racks Part #: 8-00-9604-BK). Can I install them without the roof top on?

Yes, you can install the Exposed Racks Under Soft Top Roof Rack without the soft top being on.
The rack is designed to mount to the Jeep's roll bars using hand bolts (for the middle bar) and thumb bolts (for the rear bar). These mounting points are independent of the soft top itself.

Does this work on a 2 door?

No, this is for the JKU (4 door) only.

Do these only work when the soft top is down? Do you have any racks that can mount with the soft top closed position?

As long as nothing is mounted on the rack, your soft top can be closed with the rack remaining on your Jeep. Thanks for your inquiry.

I have a 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sahara with factory hardtop. I would like to use this rack to haul my kayaks when I go topless. Can I just install the roof rack when I take my top off?

Yes, this rack can be installed with your hardtop removed.

what is the weight capacity for these?

IMPORTANT: IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER/USER TO DECIDE WHERE AND HOW MUCH WEIGHT
TO DISTRIBUTE IN ANY ONE LOCATION. IN THIS SETUP THE WEIGHT IS DISTRIBUTED DOWN THROUGH THE
FRAME AND IS FANTASTICALLY STRONG. THAT BEING SAID, WEIGHT CAPACITY IS LIMITED TO JEEP’S MAXIMUM STATIC
AND DYNAMIC WEIGHT LIMITS. WHEN PUTTING LOAD ON THE ROOF TOP, TAKE CAUTION TO ALWAYS DISTRIBUTE THE
WEIGHT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. USE COMMON SENSE WHEN INSTALLING AND CARRYING LOADS. EXR CROSSBARS ARE
THE STRONGEST ON THE MARKET, BUT INSTALLATION OF CROSSBARS DOES NOT MAKE YOUR VEHICLE INVINCIBLE, AND
THEY DO NOT PROTECT YOU IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE ROLL OVER OR OTHER IMPACT. PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE.
IF YOUR LIFE EXPERIENCE HAS PROVEN TO YOU THAT OTHERS MAY HAVE MORE COMMON SENSE (SUCH AS A SPOUSE),
PLEASE CONSULT THIS PERSON FOR JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING.
