in the beginning it says you bought 6, 5-ft sections of the pipe, did you end up adding two more later?
could i get the dimensions of your rack?

So I just joined, (my first post! ) So i just got my a 98 the other day, and it didnt come with anything on my roof..haha whatever you wanna call it, bike racks? I dont know... haha so how would you recomend me mounting this too my roof without just screwing it to the roof?
Oh and if you know of a write up of the top of your head,on how to wire up some light too that that would be greatly appreited! (haha im not sure if I spelled that right, but I see no red line so i guess so? haha)
Thanks in advance!

Good to see you on this forum too! I saw you on xjtalk.com and asked a few questions. .. now I'm just trying to figure how I'm going to mount lights. I'm not sure if it'll be to the rack or a light bar. Still a nice looking rack!

Believe it or not i got a third roof rail at JY and used it to mount my lights up top. I have 4 BAJA lights up there and they aint let me down yet.

Hmmmmm....Zack,go to a local JY and see if there is another 98 out there with a roof rail system on it. If so try and snag that, it will be the best for this type of rack I think. If not check out some of the roof rack sites and see what they have in gutter mounts. Im not real sure if they will work but its worth a shot.
