Will a rack off a 2004 explore fit my 2 door xj without looking stupid? I found one CHEAP and hoping it will fit.

Don't be tempted by cheap stuff. Yes it can be made to fit, but it will not be a bolt on type of thing. Just because something is cheap does not mean you need it. That is how hoarders get their start.

LMFAO! The dude is simply asking if an Explorer rack will fit a Cherokee, not for a life lesson...

I knew a hoarder once, house was full of junk, couldn't throw anything out, you could barley walk in his house, there was just a narrow path from room to room, that's all.

Don't end up like that guy, it's a horrible way to live.

Yes! this is a very valid point! People start just like u are by hoarding cheap parts for cars. Soon it will consume you and you will never stop hoarding. Please dont fall into that lie, you dont wanna ruin everything you have!!!

LOL.....I can't stop laughing...

But how do we know you're not buying the rack just store a bunch of crap in it?.....


Speaking of hoarders. I rented a house from a guy that hoarded stuff...
He didn't live in it...just "stored" stuff in it....

Had literally 1000's of newpapers...magazines...catalogs....some going
back 10+ years... I asked him what he was planning on doing with them...

He said..."I haven't gotten around to reading them yet"....

Yeah right... I hauled all the crap to the dump when he went on vacation...
Must have made about 10 runs with a masons dump...he never said a word to me about it...

Definately a sickness though...

LoL thanks guys next time i will just start a thread about hoarders. Oh and as for the rack topic (as if it really matters anymore since it got jacked) its the basket type and its about the same width but i think its too long because of the moon roof.

I decided no go because it will be right on the moon roof and i think it would look stupid un centered.
