I have been looking at custom fabricating a roof rack for my 2005 Jeep TJ, however I do not know where to mount it in the rear. in the front I am going to mount it to the windshield hinges, but in the rear I am struggling to find a good spot to mount it. I was thinking to the frame behind the tailgate a lot like the GOBI roof rack. are there any premade mounting brackets I can order or should I costume make this part as well.

My Garvin rack that I had mounted between the tub and frame at the body mount at both rear corners. Then it had 2 more bolts going through the tub into a backing plate further up. If you plan on switching tops dependent on weather or folding the soft top up and down, I would consider designing the rear mounting point to allow the rack to hinge like the Garvin setup.
