Default New roof rack installed :)

So yesturday I got, What I feel was a good deal. For 240 I picked up a roof rack with a high lift and mount for the lift as well already in place. I was to excited to wait to install it so I did today. its strapped down through gutter mounts. The only thing that worries me is my one gutter mount section is a little busted but I shakes it like crazy and the thing moved with the XJ without any play. on to pictures, what do you guys think?

The same guy is selling me some 33s with Soft 8s for 200 tho week and then he is scrapping the XJ because he shattered the upper control arms. wish I had the money for the whole thing and just part it.

Looks good! Not sure what it is about
Racks but I love how they look on XJs. Nice
XJ by the way! Wonder if it will hurt your MPG noticeably.

Looks awesome! I'm hoping to get one today from a guy for also $250.00. So hard to come by the Racks for cheap that hook to your Rain gutters....

Yeah I just took it for a spin to buy some beer and besides the little added noises I love it. Looks so Bad#ss with in on. Thank you about the complements, I was going to sell this thing a couple weeks ago for a stocker but now decided to just make this one better. Now I need to some how get AC working again and then I will be happier.

Yeah they do look good but since I have the high lift up there it is a little bit noisier.

I did buy them, I was mistaken they were AR-767 not soft 8s, Either way mine will be for sale soon. I will either sale them or try to find someone that has 2 33s with wheels to trade fro all four of my wheels and tires.
