Top rack for XJ

[Soft Assassin]

Anyone know of, or have a rack on their Jeep. Companies and model names would be nice. Thanks. If you have any pictures, that would be awesome as well. I'm looking for a rack for the top of my xj.. ( I have 5 6" lights to be mounted as well ) price range 200 to 500. Custom, or brand specific, it doesn't matter. Any help would be good.

Thanks
-Richard

I really like Conferr roof racks. There are two jeeps at my college that both have the same one. It's not too big and has several mounting accessories.

If you want pictures of em all. You need to download the catalog from the left hand side menu. Needs Acrobat reader

Good Luck!

Lets try this again(posted to this but didn't show up) I just got a kargomaster bushman 60" rack for $299 plus $40 for the factory rail mounts. Nice rack and well constructed. Here are the pic:

Think about making your own, you can make it the way and size you want it. but I would buy a thule basket, over any out there.

I run this one with the extension. http://www.prolineracks.com/car-rack-special.html Not as good as ones others have mentioned, but it's done fine for me. I've had up to 150 lbs. on it without a problem. Here it is on my XJ--

Surco racks are cheap.
I have one I bought online used for $50 shipped.

That tire is a 30" tire, I think it'd probably hold up to a 35" tire up there.
I know it fits a 33" tire.

I run a Warrior Products rack. It's a bit on the small side, but it's one-piece all welded, and very strong.

I also have a conferr rack and love it. I didn't like how they mounted though so I took some L channel and used my factory rack rails to reinforce and drill through. It sits 2-3" lower than they come...

sorry about the dark pictures... i just took them and it's 6 here in the east already
