So you're saying you have rack envy now? I bet he was jealous of your Barbie pink bumper. :loveu:

He came up and asked where to put the oil.. and I showed him told him about NAXJA and such.. he had the full length Surfco rack on it too... goofy on a stocker

the longer rack was part of my reason for wanting a 97-98(i think) :D, was able to put my lights where i wanted them that way.

Mine's a 99 sport.. his was a 99 classic..... guess the trim package decided it

Nah, he probably got the leftovers from 98, my 98 has the full length rails too and it's an SE that I upgraded to a sport with factory skids and other stuff minus the power crap accessories.. Jeep probably figured they could save a couple of pennies by shortening it.

i did some looking into this a while back and it didnt seem to have any real pattern to specific trim packages or years so i pretty much gave up... i also saw variances in the ridge patterns on the roof that matched the racks.. some ran full length and some didnt.
