here's mine,
About 150 invested in it, including the 20 bucks to weld the gutter mounts on.
Moved my 4 bed house on it. the only rattle is the Hi-Lift
Can get better pic if anyone is interested

Kind of related, but what's the rule on why some Cherokee's have full roof rails and some have half? Mine has half, but I see quite a few that have full rails out there. Anybody?

I also just done the back if you check out my picture album. I made a slit in both sides where its starts to curve then i bent them over and hammered them flat. It turned out really good.
