as long as youre half intelligent when building you roof rack or loading down one, the gutters are stronger than anything else up there i could bolt to.

The mounts are JCR brand. I paid $80 for six mounts. They probably go on sale in november, like most JCR stuffs, and I just bolted everything up instead of welding it because I want the ability to change it up if need be

I will just be putting my kayak racks on those rails. I lost my factory roof rack when it failed at 70 on the highway...with the kayak on it...The cold plus a strong cross wind must've been enough to break a cross member loose (one very small bolt) and then the whole thing just catastrophically failed. A car swerved to miss so that was nice of them.... None of my gear was damaged, thats why you buy well made stuff!!!!

I just dont wanna risk it ever happening again, so this is beefy enough for me!

Its getting POR-15'd as soon as I get some decent weather to work with.

 

Very nice. What was the bar stock for the cross members?
Thanks for the info.

 

1x2 1/8"

 

Thanks War.

 

Thank to Foxmxrcer. Rear axle was overhauled. Now on to getting the oba set up and working.

 

finished the roof rack! I added the drilled angle so I could add more supports and use it for other stuff and it also beefs it up even more! POR 15 finish and then just black spray paint over that!!

 

are you converting the ac compressor?

 

yes I am

 

Are you making moonshine with that coiled copper?

 

maybe. Maybe not

 

Having some issues with my 2000 XJ. Took it to Jeff Daniels jeep in harleysville and they couldnt figure it out hoping someone could help me? Anyone in the philly area want to help me out that has some experience with electrical issues?

 

I'm in the York area, so not that close... But what's wrong with it?

 

I did the same setup but do you have a pressure switch or did you just use a toggle switch for the fan clutch

 

Im having a stalling issue. Mostly at idle but occasionally at speed. I have replaced the ECM after I took it to a shop and thats the only advice they could give after having it for a month.

It throws a crankshaft pos sensor circuit bank a cel.
I have replaced almost every sensor related over the course of trying to figure it out.
I am thinking that I may need to go through the wiring harness from the crankshaft sensor to the ecm..
also strange is that each time I replaced the ECM it totally stopped stalling for a couple weeks then gradually started doing it rarely and then eventually back to most of the time.

I really dont know what to think it is

 

Did you check the ecm plugs? Make sure there's no loose pins or corrosion. Check wiring harness grounds and splices, seen that a lot.
