where can i find a cheap roof rack! has anyone made their own? if so pics? just wanna see my options b4 i buy anything! thanks guys!

 

check out the one coleman makes. i think they're fairly cheap. i'd suggest the one i have, but i have no idea who makes it.

 

the coleman one is pretty cheap but will it fit on our xj's? not sure about the dimensions of our roof mounts so but alot of 4runner guys have that one, but watch out cuz the basket is like 6.5'' tall!

 

I love my Surco, works great and much cheaper then most

 

I like the low profile one from JCR Offroad

JCR Offroad: Rack

 

check this one

ive seen the coleman one on XJ's before. mine it slightly smaller, so its mounted to my crossbars and not the rain gutters.

 

if your handy you should try to make your own! theres nothing like having your own hand built stuff for your jeep!! Look at quadratec/ 4wd for them too as another place for you to compare

 

i really like my JCR OFFROAD roof rack it is very nice. Also the guys at JCR are very nice and will do anything to make sure you are happy with your product. They also stand behind their products 100%

 

it just seems like the JC rack is kinda pointless for anything else other than a spare and high lift but really that all ill need it for so i might just go with that, besides it doesnt look bulky

 

Summit sells the Surco and mounts..Rack is $250 and mounting hardware is $54..plus about $18 in shipping..for a total of roughly $322 shipped..now that's not bad at all..

 

yeah these things are rediculous in price and they seem pretty simple to build.... it jsut hard for me to justify spendin 400 bucks for a roof rack when i only have 800 in the whole jeep.... im gonna kep my eyes peeled for a steal of a deal on one but if i decide to build one ill def post up some pics of the build! or if anyone has ne home built ones i woudl like to see!

 

I got my surco rack on amazon.com for $189 with free shipping. Thats the best price i could find on it... The Surco racks are nice too, they are all aluminum so no rust or corrosion.

Heres the link:

 

the one i put up was only 150 with shipping. what are you looking for?

 

i dunno man! i know a cherokee looks sick with a roof rack and some big lights but i spend 200 for a rack 80 to 100 buck for the mounting kit another 20 or 30 for hardware u still around 400 bucks.... i just want something cheap its def just for looks... i might throw a spare tire and a high lift jack on it but thats it...
