that looks just like the Rage Stingray I just got for mine. They are only $100 new from Discount Ramps

Surco or The Stingray?
OP, I was dang near set on a Surco, until I saw how cheap the Stingray was.

I am going to replace the ***** on mine with nuts so they don't stick up like that. The max weight for this rack is 150 lbs.

I'm torn between the Rola and Stingray myself. The Stingray is around $100 at discountramps and the Rola is around $175, both plus shipping. They look similar but the Rola has heavier support it seems. The Rola basket has bars that goes along the bottom sides parallel with the top side rails..the Stingray doesn't. I think both are rated to 150lbs.
dwktr: Do you happen to have a side view pic of ur XJ with the basket?
Thanx

Sorry the rack is a little washed out in the photo, had to take the pic facing the sun because the Commander is in the way on the other side.

Shouldn't affect it too much. Try to find one that is aerodynamic and doesn't have that much holes, or ways air could go though.
