Default Roof rack suggestions

Guys,

Looking to add a rack system to hold surf boards and SUP boards. I would like to find a rack system that utilizes the factory "rails", not looking for anything that goes to the rain gutters. I have seen a few that have the "foot" that goes into the factory roof rack rails.
Any suggestions appreciated

You may want to mention the year and model Cherokee you have, they won't all use the same racks unfortunately.

We do carry different racks, if you want to browse them.

Some Smittybilt ones are on sale -

if that helps. :-)

I took a 300 gallon plastic container, took the bottom off of it and flipped it over. Drilled some homes and put some bolts in it for my jack and painted it black. Free and it looks OK. Its basically a metal pallet flipped upside down

Really looking for more of a surfboard type rack utilizing the factory roof rack rails. Only putting surfboards, SUP's, etc.

Thanks,

For whats its worth, I put a ski box on top of the stock rails of my '96 and the slide clip at the base that joins up with the rails is loose. It rattles when I go over bumps. Bottom line is that I'm not to impressed with how strong the stock rack/rails are

I am pretty sure the 1993 XJ Sport Roof Rack will work.
