Roof Rack Help
Would a roof rack that mounts to an older model Grand Waganeer mount on a 90xj?? It has 5" gutter mounts. Dimensions are 50"x60"x5". Thanks.

I would say no except this one looks like it is narrower than the wagoneer,it also looks like the one I have on my xj,which is adjustable. Looking at the picture it appears they have it adjusted as far apart as they can to fit.
I was going to buy one off a wagoneer awhile back but it was just as wide as the roof on the wagoneer and would not fit my xj.

Yeah I was thinking the same, and that I could always redrill/mount into the bars, just as long as it was not to wide and would look gaudy. What is your thought on the rain gutter mounts, should be fairly universal for our jeeps I would presume?

The rack does not go all the way to the side of the wagoneer,I think it would fit your xj. I just measured my xj and it is only 50" across,that rack is 50 it should be fine.

The tops of ours are right about 50" across, so it would be a little bit wider than most racks, I guess I will just need to take a look at it and see it mounted up, then probably wind up buying it. The wife will probably get mad, but, hey good price for a roof rack, even if it is a tiny bit dinged up. Thanks for your help.
