IntrepidXJ said:very nice rack.....i am planning on building one similar that mounts the same way. i don't like how high any of the aftermarket racks sit, which is my main reason for building my own......yours addresses that issue nicely
:thumbup:
The biggest problem that I had is that although we all like to think of the XJ as a "box", there really isn't a straight damn line up there. Trust me. Front to back, side to side: All curves...
I used a harbor freight tubing bender, and basically every six inches put a slight bend in all the tubing. It took awhile, mostly because I had to bend about 60 feet of tubing, but in the end it sits low, very low wind noise, and doesn't look to bad either.
