Default Roof Racks?

So I'm looking at buying, or maybe making a Roof Rack, and I've seen a couple threads here about making them, keep in mind I've never welded and don't have a welder so if I were to make one, it would have to be used to clamps and screws.

Anyway I found this online;

http://www.autoanything.com/roof-rac...x?kc=ffproduct

It says on google that it will fit a 1995-01 Jeep Cherokee 2 Dr & 4 Dr.

And its only $167 shipped...

What do you guys think?

I think it will look small.. Less that's what you want. Check out rage powersports racks on discountramps.com. Also check Craigslist. I got a nice surco rack for $140 there.

Thanks for the response, you're right, it would be kinda small I didn't think to check the measurements. I've also tried searching on craigslist but haven't been able to find anything...I'll keep looking though!

Lots of people run these and like them. If your Craigslist searching doesn't come up with anything.

Thanks for the website, but all those racks are mounted on by the cross bars on the roof, how secure can that be? I don't plan on putting to much stuff up there, the heaviest thing would have to be a 31" tire.
