Default just a simple roof rack!!

Hey guys! So i am goin camping next week and decided 4 peoples stuff plus a dogs worth of stuff wasn't goin to make it inside the xj, comfortably at least. So i decided id make a simple little roof rack to help spread out all the materials. I havent decided what im goin to do for a permanent attachment yet, but for this weekend im just goin to U bolt it to the stock cross members. I only had 3 hours this mornin before work to work so i went out to the steel yard and got 60' of 1x1x.095 square tubing and then came home and got to work! I am using a sawzall, and a millermatic 250 mig welder for tools! Ill have it finished by Monday for sure and update the thread then!

Let me know what ya think, questions comments and hating welcome!!
