All I can say is try it but I highly doubt it will. But i think you can get the rail clips rather cheap..

The XJ and ZJ side rails are different, but whether or not the sliding "tabs" will interchange I can't say for sure. My money says no though. JMO Sorry.

So am I. You can take off the cross-rails, but the side rails are screwed to the roof, and the cross-rails slide on them. Gottcha'.
