Just some advice, I would recommend selling only merchandise you have built and ready in order to lessen delivery times and keep your customers happy. I'll be your guinea pig whenever you're ready, pm me a price and I'll do a write up for you.

I am making this this weekend and I am planning to make mine the full length of the XJ's roof, should I go 3 feet 6 inches for the front and back and 4 feet for the sides? do you think that would look alright? I am only planning on carrying my stock spare tire, a shovel, an axe, and a jack.

Thanks again, Clay.

So i decided to build one of my own:
3/4 EMT, 5/16 x 1 1/2 bolts and 5/16 x 2 inch bolts. with nylock nuts and 5/16 washers.

the side tubes are 3ft 6"(long) on bottom and 3ft 2"(long) on top.,
the end are 2ft 6 (width)(all 4) 5/16 holes.my side supports are 6 inches tall
The bottom parts (floor) are 3' 10"
I wanted to go cheap with my corners so i just bought the 1 piece 90sdrilled 5/16 holes 3/4 from the end.


I thought it looked pretty good i painted it black, it was real easy to put toghether.
im still workin on mounts. it will sit on top of the existing rack but i dont want to drill into it. Ill have pics of that soon.

bolt together kits available soon!!!!!!! pm if interested.

somewhere around 40ft of EMT about $15
corners (90s) about $25
all the fasteners (nuts,bolt,washers) about $15-$20

This thing was REALY easy to put together, Iwas thinking about selling bolt together kits of this thing.
the dimentions on this one are 2'10" x 3'10" (The 90s wernt as long as i tought) LOL thats why the lengths are a little odd.
but it fits a 31" BEAUTIFULY.

BUT the great thing about this is you can take it apart and change the size rather easily.

wieght.....um, not sure exactly. its real easy pick up and put ontop of the jeep.....ill get an exact weight tonight lol.
