Ive got my stock rails and brackts from my 94 xj sport. Also a fairly clean homemade half rack too. Bolts on to roof rails. No welding or drilling.

Any chance you can post a picture or two that would be great. Or you can just e-mail them to me, which ever is easier.

Thanks

I have a complete chrome roof rack in good shape. It's a factory luggage rack, with chrome rails. Let me know if you're interested and I'll send pics.

Are you looking for a rack, are factory roof sliding rails?

Right now my roof rack is the stock one just like PJ Hunters, I'm looking for an aftermarket one that can hold my spare, maybe mount some lights to, etc.

From the reading I've done the stock roof rails are not that strong so I went to the junk yard and got 4 more factory rails. I figured if I couldn't find a used rack that has rain gutter mounts I would just take the "new" rack and secure it to my factory roof rails. I was thinking I could put 4 of them on and move them close enough to give extra support.

Please post pictures of what you have ...

Thanks again

Also you can do an emt rack like I did back in the day witch will take care of whatever you need for rarely cheap, there's a guy on here made one looks really good, I'm not sure of his name but in the search bar put my take on a homade roof rack without welding came out super clean pretty sturdy, nothing like a nice welded one but it works for holding up a spare and a few other things.

This one cost me under 100 bucks to make and just u bolted to my sliding rails and I've never had any problem with it, I wouldn't jump on it but strong enought to do what you want with it

That looks awesome. What did you use for the bottom of the basket? Looks like some kind of metal mesh. Ive been trying to find something like that for my own build but have not had any luck.

I used stainless still mesh I got from work for free but I don't see it being to expensive I just laid it out self tapping screwed it down with some washers took some dykes and trimmed the edges around it so none was sticking out

My next rack will consist of gutter mounts and welding, got a good deal for black Friday sales at jcr offroad on some gutter mounts

I like the idea, looks like basic conduit. If we can find the stuff pre bent that would work well.

Like I said I think fastening that to the stock rails, all ( 4 ) of mine it may hold up pretty good !!
