I went to the junkyard & grabbed a bunch for my 1998 XJ.

They were $5.00 each & I just looked for ones that had the same side brackets as mine.

I never looked at what years the donor vehicles were, but all three of them were the older ones with wing windows in the driver's doors.

Nope, that's my 1990 YJ. "The Homewrecker"

That's my redneck mod testbed.

the cross bars should fit fine on any model xj. the bars that go perpendicular along the sides of the xj vary though from body style not sure exactly what year is changed though.
