    WTB roof rack for WJ

    Looking for a cheap roof rack for my new (to me) WJ. I’m running a 4” lift with 32’s and the spare won’t fit into the spare tire well inside. My plan is to just use that space for tool storage and put the spare on a roof rack along with mounting my light bar up there too. Anyway, if anyone has a rack they want to get rid of send me a msg. Thanks!

    Do you have the factory load bars? You can mount your spare to them and the light bar can be mounted to the roof rails or between them. No need for a rack to do any of that.

    I have the two factory cross bars if that’s what you call the load bars, I may give that a try. How should I mount the tire though? I was planning on using the factory spare tire hold down on the rack if I got one.
    I want the roof rack for other reasons as well. It would be nice to throw a gas can up there when I make a camp run to keep the smell out of the inside, I could mount a light bar up there and I think they just look cool. Unfortunately it’s almost the holidays and i don’t have the budget to spend $500 on a looks cool item for the Jeep. I figured I would ask around here and see if any of the 5 people who still use this forum has one laying around that they would be interested in selling.

    While I was on 32 JK takeoffs, I would slide the cross bars close to each other and use a ratchet strap to strap the tire through the rim to the bars for off roading trips. You could store your gas can in the rim as well.
