XJ's with Safari Racks

[2offroad]

For you guys who have lights up there.... don't they reflect off the hood and glare the windshield? I think they look great up there, but how do they work?

mine is a dark color so it's not bad and the lights are back enough that the roof blocks the light off the windshield.

The best is the Con-ferr rack. It comes in either a 4" or 6" height. It can hold a ton of weight. We use it all the time. I think I have the 48x60". www.conferr.com

Mine was homemade, with Yakima Gutter clamp feet. It was 44 x 44.

Wife caught it on a tree, about 2 months after I got it up there, and tore one of the feet apart.

Not to mention, damn is the spare heavy to get up there.

I have since moved the hi-lift to the rear. Mine is a Surco. I forget which size, but I think about 50x60. I like it as far as racks go.

My lights don't reflect down/back at me at all, they are mounted to a factory rail as far forward as they can and still click in.

I wish I would have bought a rear bumper/tire mount instead, it seems I am always worrying about what I am going to hit or catch with the roof rack and lights, It is proably the coolest looking mod I have made, and great for camping, but not so hot for trail runs.

Sorry for the late reply.
The headlight guards are made by Desert Ox. I´ve found them on Ebay here in Germany.

hey you are in germany, which would explain those fender lights. really more curious about those headlight gaurds. are those a german item or did you have them shipped from the U.S.? thanks
