Default Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform on XJ

I put a rhino rack pioneer platform on my JLU and I wanted to put one on my XJ. I found the rack on FB marketplace and then bought the corresponding gutter mount legs (that rhino rack lists on their website) which are 5.9" tall. I put it on my XJ and thought it looked insanely tall. Rhino rack makes a 4.3" gutter mount leg that ordered and those fit a lot better, IMO. I wanted to share some photos with you guys in case anyone was considering this rack for their XJ (I seriously couldn't find any pictures of this rack on an XJ anywhere on the internet). The photos are marked with 4.3" or 5.9". Overall, it's a 1.6 inch difference. What I thought was really weird was that I contacted rhino rack and asked them about the 4.3" legs, they responded and told me the rack was engineered for the 5.9" legs.The 4.3" legs fit perfectly fine. What do you guys think. 4.3" or 5.9"? Also, I'd note that if a person wanted to put 3 legs on each side, it would be easy to do as there are 3 support bars.



5.9" mounts that rhino rack suggests on their website.




4.3" mounts that I went with.

4.3" gutter mounts.

I thought this whole thread got deleted.

RL110S2 are the 4.3" ones that I went with that IMO look a lot better than the 5.9" ones.

RL150S2 are the 5.9" ones that is what rhino-rack recommends on their website.


Edit: I fixed the pictures up top as well.
