Virgil's Roof Rack
#41
I put the final coat of paint on it tonight. I did 3 coats of Rustoleum Textured Black followed by 2 coats of Rustoleum Gloss Black. It's ready for install. I promise this is the last picture of it not on my XJ.

Roof Rack is complete and installed. The lights are just bolted up and need wired. I did install my new CB antenna and tuned that. It's ready to go. Although, I still need to do something with my ham radio antenna. Also need to add things eventually like a tire mount, Hi-Lift mount, shovel/axe mounts, some lights pointing backwards, etc. Those are projects for another day.

I also found a nice bumper that fell off Alan's XJ. Got it straightened out and installed also.

I bought a roof mount Wilson 5000 antenna for the CB and welded on a tab to mount it. The ham antenna out front is just my old Diamond mag. mount. I need to get a bracket and mount that antenna on the rack also.

Yep, those lights are what I've got for now. Picked them up half price at Harbor Freight. I think the total for the 4 of them was under $20. I'll get some better ones eventually.
