Not at all! It was made with 3/4" thin wall tube, thin expanded metal, and thin sheet metal. Might have weighed about 50-75lbs. Not bad at all!Originally Posted by Punisher XJ
that is one monsterous roof rack!! Was it heavy?
Plans for the weekend r to take the XJ out with the wife, kid, Curt and his Trooper and do some camping on the lake. I know a spot that u can't get to without 4x4 or a boat. Will post pics monday or tuesday. Love going canpin where there is no camping spots!
Picked up some things at the surplus store on the way home. The gas can was only $35 and spout was $8. Not a bad deal! Got the jeep loaded and headin out in the morning. Can't wait!

love the idea and theme. im thinking about doing that lift and tire setup, do you like it. it looks like a monster. and its a 3 in? anyway love the build ill be watching it
I picked the rack up for another guy on my way home that weekend. Wasn't mine, but wish it was!
I have more pics from the camp site but they r too large to load 
Oh well. Was a GREAT weekend! The daughter loved it, wife was happy cus I rigged a toilet, and the lake wasn't a challenge for either of the vehicles. Except for the trip back. I am gunna need to get a differenr leaf pack. It rubbed a little on the way out today. The add-a-leaf aint gunna make it thru much more of that.

Here's one Curt snapped of my comin out of the water today. It was about a foot higher today than it was when we first went out. Didn't suck any water in the TB, but there was a little in the bottom of the air box. I'm lookin at buyin a snorkel from a buddy soon.
Was a fun weekend, but dnt think we'll be goin back out there... Found out we can't, luckily we just got warnings. It must have helped that my daughter is so cute! Lol

Found out it's hunting/fishing only. He let us off with a warning. Dude was awsome about it. The warning wasn't for camping. He TECHNICALY didn't see us camping. Warnings were for operating a motor vehicle in a closed area. Lol.

yeah those rear leafs look to be sagging BAD. think it was just all the stuff ya got in the back from your trip. glad y'all got back safe!
Yea, it came back up when I unloaded it. But I still gotta do something about it. We'll b doin a lot of stuff like that this summer. Granted that was loaded for me, wife, daughter, and another couple. But I also plan on an offroad camper build, so gotta stiffen it up for that. Not planning on goin over my 3" lift.
