Sorry, best picture right now--we had to mod the MBRP rack extension to work with the AEV snorkel and this was mid-mod.



Only pic post-mod ...


Oh, if you haven't noticed, check out my headlights in the top pic. I never liked the bug-eye look of the stock headlights. These, from Northridge, are much more classic looking.
I've been waiting to see a setup like this.i have a snorkel and I've been looking at the same roof rack.thank you for posting these pics.i have to think about this same type of mod.
nice looking setup you have

Yes. Almost flat, anyway. Not bulbous like the stockers. They are the Northridge IPF lights. I replaced the bulbs David offers with a $20 set of Sylvania Halogens because I prefer the more traditional color temp. Excellent light pattern compared to the early model stock Jeeps (not sure if they've ever fixed that or not, but sure don't see the complaints we had about them back then--they were horrendous).

Just curious, when it comes to rain, what do you do about using the back tailgate table? Have you thought up a clever way to stay dry or do you just deal?
Good question. Thus far my clever answer has been to hope that someone else has an awning. At Big Bend, one of my companions had a nice, lightweight REI awning. While excellent for shade, it wasn't so good in the wind. And we didn't set it up the evening of the big storm (recall the "Ten Commandments" cloud picture I've posted before?). Of course, didn't need shade ATT, LOL. Foxwing makes an awning that could cover the driver's side and all around the back. Yes, it swings open 270 degrees. I think it's going to be expensive for that much coverage, and not certain of its usefulness in a windblown rain (sides, stability, etc). I guess I'm still seeking an answer. A back issue of Overland Journal has a review of various awnings, so you might want to check that out. Regardless, for the time being I depend on others, or we just get wet (such as on the K-Trail last February when we were Dutch oven cooking out in the midst of a pretty heavy rainfall--what a hassle, but got the job done).

Marksdv (yes, there are at least three Marks in this thread, LOL) has a very similar set-up, and has many great pics posted up throughout this thread. Here are a couple more pic's of our solution ...





Basically, the top and bottom come off the MBRP rack. The middle section is 3/16" steel band. It is very strong.


Do be aware that I don't think they are making this rack anymore. At least I've been hearing rumors. It doesn't fit the later hardtops (with the larger windows).

Thought I'd add some photos of my 2 door which I use for some overland trips, weekend camping, and wheeling day trips.

The rack has been my biggest/most helpful mod as of recent.


Just a nice photo of it recently.
