I think it is Garvin wilderness just sitting on stock rails with ubolts to stock brackets thats the way it came i don't like the mounting, been looking at brackets like 85 bucks not high on my list right now.

the u bolts look like they came with it the way it sits on rails feels real sturdy. i may need to lower it for clearance to get into my trailer after the lift and tires.

Depends after my lift with my toyhaler height for spare on top and length if I get a carrier that's why I haven't bought a rear bumper yet. I want to put on roof and have clean back end without obstructing view and have to always unhook to get in. I have heard about higher center gravity and more wind resistance worse mileage on the roof

I think the rear tire carrier looks the cleanest, but I feel the same way about the view obstruction. Right now I don't even have a spare haha.

nice, johns place is awesome, used to go there a lot with my friends while we were still in high school. man those were good times.
I'm sure i've probably seen your XJ around at some point, now i know who's it is lol. if you need any wrenching help or any spare parts just let me know, you're not far at all.

yeah, but not nearly as much as i wish i could.
recently took a 4 day trip to the remote coyote flats camp ground in the high sierra mountains.
i've been wanting to do a cleghorn to big bear run, might get to do it soon with the group you see in my picture.
