THANKS in ADVANCE!!

 

If I read it correctly it 48Lx38W, that will certaintly fit a top your jeep. I Just built a rack myself measuring 60Lx40W. Its on my build page if you wanna check it out. That rack seems sorta small, but if it does what you need then go for it. Looks decent and a great price.

Your Jeep looks great man! Thanks for the info.. i really wish i have the skill to make my own rack!

 

Thanks a lot, that was first true experience with welding and grinding. I pretty satisfied.

 

I'm pretty sure you can get a welder, material, and some scrap to practice on for what that ebay rack costs... Plus you'd be learning a skill for when your floor pans rot out!

I don't know how to weld, but I'll probably be trying it out this year.

Yeah, that's definitely a nice design and build, even if you did have to grind your welds. Good job man, props for taking it on!

 

Thanks, a bunch, the welds are certaintly solid now.

 

I had a Yakima Megawarrior and i didn't really like it....too big for my liking.

This is what i'm looking at.

 

I just put this Rola rack on my XJ. It's nice.

 

I don't believe

 

Agreed on the Yakima... Something about it just didn't work out to well for me. I had the Loadwarrior with the extension and sold it.
Thinking of making one in this style, plus I like the added protection from of tree sliders.

I did the same a year or two ago. Nice rack. If you have full length roof rails get the extension to go with it.

 

Check out the surco safari rack, I got a 45x60, fits good, under 300 bucks

 

Really likie!!!
Whose jeep is it....link please.

nvm....found it, but no pricing.

 

It's Cross Enterprises rig that they have been building for a while now and this is a concept apparently. I've been trying to get a hold of these guys for a while now with no luck so I figured I would just build one myself. Only thing is my 99 has the shorter luggage rack rails so I need to see how make a few more holes to extend it forward.

Here is there link.

You can buy gutter mounts or build them, There is not a lot to them. There sturdy than the stock rails. I just put some that were built for me to work with my rack.
