the coleman one is pretty cheap but will it fit on our xj's? not sure about the dimensions of our roof mounts so but alot of 4runner guys have that one, but watch out cuz the basket is like 6.5'' tall!

if your handy you should try to make your own! theres nothing like having your own hand built stuff for your jeep!! Look at quadratec/ 4wd for them too as another place for you to compare

i really like my JCR OFFROAD roof rack it is very nice. Also the guys at JCR are very nice and will do anything to make sure you are happy with your product. They also stand behind their products 100%

it just seems like the JC rack is kinda pointless for anything else other than a spare and high lift but really that all ill need it for so i might just go with that, besides it doesnt look bulky

yeah these things are rediculous in price and they seem pretty simple to build.... it jsut hard for me to justify spendin 400 bucks for a roof rack when i only have 800 in the whole jeep.... im gonna kep my eyes peeled for a steal of a deal on one but if i decide to build one ill def post up some pics of the build! or if anyone has ne home built ones i woudl like to see!

I got my surco rack on amazon.com for $189 with free shipping. Thats the best price i could find on it... The Surco racks are nice too, they are all aluminum so no rust or corrosion.
Heres the link:

i dunno man! i know a cherokee looks sick with a roof rack and some big lights but i spend 200 for a rack 80 to 100 buck for the mounting kit another 20 or 30 for hardware u still around 400 bucks.... i just want something cheap its def just for looks... i might throw a spare tire and a high lift jack on it but thats it...
