Default Roof Rack for ZJ

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone has made a roof / pack rack. I have no problem with the cage part, just the mounting legs. Can you get aluminium / steel mounts to fit the OEM track? or do you somehow connect it to the existing roof cross bars (not my ideal option).

Thanks in advance

A word of caution here. While the roof rack pictured is very robust the roof rails on the ZJ are only held into the roof by 6 (I think) 4mm nutserts that just go into the bare sheet metal. There is NO reinforcing underneath to cope with the extra weight.
Built a rack for mine that replaced the rails and used the OEM nutserts. Took it off 2 weeks later before the weight destroyed the roof and pulled the mounts right out.
