The guys at work were bored so they extended my roof basket. Added light tabs to the front and back. Also a shovel or jack mount on the side. Welds aren't pretty, but they'll hold. The center extension is solid and not tubes like the rest of the rack.

Mounted everything up. Now I just need to start soldering the wiring harness loom for the lights together.

According to the dealership paperwork that was in one of the boxes they are dealer takeoffs from an 05 wrangler rubicon so I should be good.

Not really sure where you are going with this. 05 Rubicon wrangler rims are 5x4.5 . The same as a cherokee. So....

The Wrangler bolt pattern changed in 07. 2006 was the last year of 5x4.5. All 07+ JKs are 5x5.

Since yours are 05s they should be just fine.

Wired up the Rough Country lights today. Tapped into cigarette lighter for the switch. Waiting for it to get dark out to see if they are worth the cash or not.
