Has anyone or does anyone have an idea for mounting a Hi-Lift on a factory rack on an XJ? Lockable options?

i've seen some people just drill a hole in each crossbar, stick a bolt through, insert jack, and use a wingnut to secure it. if you wanna lock it, drill a small hole in the bolt and use a small lock in the hole.

I was actually thinking of that. Might try that.
Ever catch those bastads who got into your rig?

nope. the cops thought they had the guys, but a few days later they let them go due to lack of evidence. but i am still getting updates so they're still looking for them.

Won't the factory cross bars flex under the weight of a hi-lift when hitting bumps, enough for it to smack on the roof?

nope. the factory crossbars are rated @ 150lbs...
here is my setup, using some yakima clips and modified cargo carrier brackets...
fits nice and snug (jack rail sits perfectly atop the clips-- hard to tell since my jack is encased).
