which roof rack

I'm looking for a roof rack for our XJ build. I'd like pictures and input on what you guys are using, what you like or dislike about it. We want it to be 60" long and capable of mounting a spare tire, jack and shovel to.

Defender. I like everything about it except the price and it is showing a little rust in welds.

I guess you don't have to worry about scratching the paint!

Off brand of Rhinoline called Eagle.

please PM me for any more questions, Thanks guys.

A few more things about the rack, It has tabs that stickout for the lights to mount to. It seems to be very strong, had 400lb of corn up there. The tire mount is ajustable a little for different size tires.
