Never seen a thread like this before so I thought it might be a nice one to start. Basically just post a picture of what you store/ have mounted on your roof! I don't care if its a CB antenna lets some of those beautiful XJ roofs!!!!

What I'm really interested in seeing is what gear people have stored in, on, near, or around their safari racks. Seems like 90% of jeeps have them but no one really talks about what they store up there or how they tie or lock it down. Lets see some roof racks!!!!

I'm sure ill figure out some way to tie it down. The hardest part is going to be situating it over top of the spare tire and and then keeping it from breaking my spotlights off the front of my basket. As soon as I get it all finished up Ill post mine on here!

That's about as much mine has carried lol. Plan on putting a hi-jack and some rear lights on it. Other than that I haven't needed to use it yet.
