I also did the XJ roof rack from a 2001 last weekend for my fathers day project.
It is off a 2001 XJ. I got an extra set of cross bars with it all for $25 at the local yard. I love junk yard gold!!
The way the XJ rack looks on the JK looks like the factory did it.
Now I ordered the mounts for the Surco Roof rack that mount to the XJ rack should have those in a week.
I will post when I get the roof rack on.

Thanks!
I wanted something that looked factory and did not have a cage all around the jeep and gave good base for the Surco rack to attach to. It might not hold as much weight as a Gobi or something like that but I need the space for lighter larger objects like awning and shovels and rotopax things like that.

True!!
I had to pull a couple from the yard to get some good ones but the surco roof rack j100 mounts attach to the track so I will not even use the factory cross except for backup cross support.
Thanks for the heads up!!

These were all on open Forrest service roads....
Hope you enjoy..
