Just a short picture history of the jeep. Its been almost two years now since ive owned it. I bought it off of ebay because I couldnt find a stick shift anywhere else at the time. It was damaged in the rear & just needed some slide hammer work and a new bumper so here goes....

not long after i got it home

First real mods were some tow hooks a hitch and zj coils w/s10 leafs and some 235/75 at's

then i added some 31" truxus m/ts

As of late, i came across a tomken 4.5" lift in the junk yard that was in great shape, i fixed up the lower & uppper arms & cleaned everything up and installed it. Along with full skids, a 29spline axle w/3.55s, YJ brake hoses, longer shocks, more s10 leafs, the lower half of a olympic top hat rack, tire carrier hood vents, discos, thrush muffler etc etc. I havent wheeled it with the new set up, but i just finished it last week so very soon.

I liked the rack complete with a diamond-grate insert for more stability/tie-ins, (lawnchairs on top), but I think you may have just murdered that idea for me. Thanks!

yeah I couldn't use the whole roof basket because I have a holder that I use for my kayaks & I would never use it anyway.
Olympic does not sell it seperate though, so i am not sure how you could get it by itself, mine was damaged etc and its a long story but i just used the rails.
