Default Which 2000 XJ Roof Basket Fits Factor Rack

Looking for a roof basket.
Good for the $
And fits on my factor rack.
Wanna hold a spare tire
And some bags and add lights.
Nothing tiny
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Honestly placing a spare tire on the roof is a bad idea,It will hurt your gas mileage and just getting it up there and down can be rough unless your really strong.Take a look at https://www.jcroffroad.com/category/RCK.html his is modular you can get anyway you want it and mounts on the gutters which is stronger.

You called?

What size tires you run? How high is it lifted? I have 33x12.5s on mine, they weigh in at about 100 lbs. Mine's lifted 5", I'm not lifting 100 lbs that high.

But, back to the roof rack question. I have no first hand experience, but I don't think the stock rack will carry any REAL weight.
