i dont know if this would help any. i have a Surco roof rack with the load bars. i love the design on the XJ. i dont have the specs right now cause i am at work but if u would like i can give u exact messurements and more pics is u want. its really simple yet strong. its not very big though but i think its perfect :loveu:

i like the surco but, is it strong to hold a 33 tire?

TsizeXJ · May 29, 2006

i would say so. i havent put one up there yet. i only have 31s right now. if you were going to build it i could take detailed pics and messurements and you could build it from there. make it as strong as u feel needed. the weak part i feel is the bars running on the botton that hold everything. the sides and the load bars are very sturdy.

i ran that rack on mine for awhile before i sold it back to tom, i drove to florida with a 235 spare on it and had it strapped down REALLY tight, it held up fine and i would put a 33 on it without a second thought, of course getting it up there is a b*tch

the surco is not that expensive either, it probably runs around 200 new from summit racing

rackattack.com Yakima Mega Warroir. Get the spare tire mount and the axe shovel bracket. That thing will hold up fine. I work there and sell them, thats the basket. Unless you want to go Winderness, but that gets expensive fast.
