did you build the rack yourself or did you just buy it and make some extra modifications?

i have not put a tape on it but when i had it up there for a test fit there was about 4-6 inches on each side that had space. i i did not want to take up entire roof. i have some future plans for items up there

when i bought it it had a yakima fairing on it so i am assuming thats what it is. (BUT) i do know that Yakima and Ford were getting the same racks at one time. Ford had partnership at one time with them

I think Rolla makes a very similar rack
Amazon has some good prices on racks. usually with free shipping too.

PS the oil stains under the XJ made me laugh a bit. My driveway has a black stripe in the middle lol
