Roof Rack Thread... lets see whats up there!

[shagwagon13]

I was going through all the picture threads on here, especially the lift/tire combo, and I saw a bunch of nice roof racks. I was hoping to gather pictures and brands/ideas about what to do with my own soo... if you have a roof rack, and wouldnt mind posting it up and what brand/how you made it, that would be awesome! I hope this hasn't been done before, and if it has, I apologize, I couldn't find it...

EDIT: Alright, I'm gonna see what I can mash together here.. Hopefully contribute something to the forum. Here we go.

Here's a pretty good shot of the one I had on my 78 Cherokee.
http://cfsjc.com/CFSJC/Photos_and_Videos/Pages/ECI_2008.html#53

It was made by Wilderness Racks, one of their Offroad Series...
http://wildernessracks.com/roof_or_rack.html

It mounted using the drip rails. The KC light brackets, spare tire hold down, and hi-lift mounts all can be found under their rack accessories.
http://wildernessracks.com/accessories.html

You will notice that they don't have one specifically for the SJ's. Take a measurement or 2, and then find one in their catalog that fits.
EDIT: OOPS, guess I was wrong. Just looked in their catalog and saw this...
Vehicle: Wagoneer/Cherokee 74-'90 (Rain Gutter Mount)
Dimensions: 54"W x 84"L x 6"H
Model No.: 39468
