comanche87 Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 hi. wanted to know how hard is it to remove the roof rack on a 90 xj. want to take it off and put it up on the classifieds.
Wildman Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Super easy........if I remember right, just a bunch of sheet metal screws into the roof panel :D
james750 Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 I wonder, would it look good to get a XJ roof rack, cut it down and put it on an MJ?
Wildman Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Me thinks some one did this last fall.......and mounted lights on the cross bar :hmm:
jpnjim Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 I *think* the 1990 factory rack is the same as an 87's. I took my old 87 XJ's rack off years ago. It used screws, and a type of rubber covered nut insert, that went into holes in the roof. Tightening the screw into the nut insert expanded the rubber, and it locked itself into the hole. Most of them fell apart when I took them out.
BookspanS Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 I wonder, would it look good to get a XJ roof rack, cut it down and put it on an MJ? If I remember right, I think Jeepco's brother did that
james750 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 I remember Jeepco's bro's rack, It was quite interesting, I liked it. But I think it was made from a few Yakima drip rail mount racks with the basket on top, not a stock rack.
rtyler8140 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Saw this in a build thread the other day. Definitely not a stock roof rack from a cherokee b/c it mounts on the rain gutters. I'm sure a stock roof rack from a cherokee could be modified and put up there and look pretty good. Or you can do like my mechanic and do this:
comanche87 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 now that second one is kool. it looks like a factory option on it. i want one of those custom crew cab trucks soooo bad.
james750 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 yeah, that is a nice "CREW" Comanche. Other pics of it have showed up on here somewhere. Ill see if I can find it.
james750 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Check on page 3 http://comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5589&hilit=crew+cab http://www.comancheclub.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6147&p=59794&hilit=crew#p59794
comanche87 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 i can't use it because of my tonneau cover. i have to have my cover on all the time.
jpnjim Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Sorry about the crewcab hijack, but I had alot of fun with that pic when it was posted on JU (5+ years ago). Someone posted it, then others claimed it was a chop. I added fuel to the fire: So they posted another pic: so I *fixed* that one too :D
rtyler8140 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Hahaha I'll have to show that to Steve (the owner of that crewmanche). He's actually gonna have it up at the Wheel In at Oak Ridge next weekend on display. He is a really cool guy and is a vault of information when it comes to Jeeps.
Pete M Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Give him a club business card. :D I remember the controversy over those pictures. It was hilarious. :rotf:
jtdesigns Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 so I *fixed* that one too :D rofl.. your such an arse... :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :yes:
