Are you looking for a hitch cargo rack or a tailgate rack of some sort?
There are several thread on the hitch kind. Harbor Freight has some good ones priced well. Discount Ramps have several different kinds.
I have one of the trailer hitch mount harbor freight specials. Works great, although with my 12.5" tires on the back, I cant open the gate with it installed nor fold it up without a hitch drop (I have the hitch drop mounted to my bike rack).
Back when i had an Xterra, one popular low-cost solution was what they called a "LOBO" rack. They'd buy a wire rack from lowes\home depot, and attached it to the tie-downs in the roof.
I bet you could use some hose clamps around the sport bar as attachment points instead.
I used aluminum tubing and copper pipe fittings to build mine as an amp rack for my stereo stuff in the Xterra for a nicer look. Sadly i don't have pictures of it here at home.
I use the Bestop 41444-01 HighRock 4X4 Universal Rack Tray. It mounts to the sport bars in my JK and hangs above my Tuffy trunk enclosure. I usually keep my back seat out and I find this gives me plenty of storage when two of us go camping. I usually slide tent, camp chair, tables in the space between the steel trunk and the Bestop Rack Tray. It's a reasonably priced option for adding storage for extended trail rides. I thought I had a pic of my JK out camping with the rack loaded but no luck finding it.
I haven't had a backseat in my Jeep in over 2 years. I run a duster cover over the rear when I have the top off and a rack that would hold a cooler or action packer would really be nice. Haven't really found one that will work the way I want though. The Bestop one is the closest but it's not big enough.
