Stuff MJ roll bar in a XJ for transport?

Has anyone stuffed a MJ roll bar into the back of a XJ for transport? The overall dimensions looks like it will fit side ways laying on its back.

 

You could always tie it on the roof rack if it doesn't fit, si?

 

Yep, that is the back up option. I just will not have someone to help me get it down when I get home.

Don't you have a JK also? It'll fit back there.

Nope, I sold that lemon. It will not fit in the LJ either since I have a large tool/camper box back there.

 

If it fits in a WJ it should fit in a XJ. They are basically the same dimensions.

Don't they fit in the back of a Comanche? :idea:  C'mon... take the truck out for a little supercharged road trip!  . :MJ 1: .

Still finding/waiting on someone that can do a PCM flash tune for the thing. Those old Chrysler JTEC PCMs are too smart for piggyback controllers. :/

Have you tried FlyinRyan?  He's on thespeedfreaks.net and The Jeep Garage.

Yes, he said he was interested in working with me and then I never heard anything back. I ordered a SCT X4 today and plan on picking up their Pro Tuner package to do it myself.

On two separate occasions, I've fit both a SWB and a LWB roll bar into the back of a 2003 Ford Escape with no problems. When I brought the LWB one home, I had to pull the rear seat bottoms off (there's release tabs on the hinge pins that make that a simple job) for some extra clearance, but it fit with no problem, the hatch even closed with no interference. I would imagine an XJ's cargo area would be larger than that of an Escape. No???

I'm in a similar situation right now only I've sold my long box roll bar. Had it all snug in the back of the Ape as I was planning on just driving it across town. Shipping ended up not working out for that location so the next closest for Greyhound is 45 miles north of me. Not wanting to take it on a road trip just yet, I had to get creative... and then I even surprised myself.

 

I see your Cherokee, and I raise you a Focus hatchback...  :D

... well, almost, anyhow.  :shake: It'll make the 45 miles fine, but I was so close to getting the thing to fit that I almost forgot that I had to take it out too! Ah well... I think that if it were for a short box it would've fit. The opening for the hatch needed to be just a little bit taller! I think this is the bench mark for future "will the roll bar fit" threads.  :laughin:
