Did I just read right? Rage roof rack member #4!
Haha of course! Works well for the price!
HEY! I forgot, I thought the front was shaking a lot because it needed an allignment. not because the bolts were only hand-tightened
lol
For what I paid for one Yakima Roof rack, I could have purchased two Rage racks. And I'm seriously contemplating getting one for the WK as well.
And just an FYI - my WK still takes the cake when it comes to which one I enjoy driving more. I've driven the ZJ just about all week... Hopped in to my WK for the first time in days to get some groceries, Go figure.. the grocery getter? No she's not the Grocery getter, lol. But, she drove as smooth as butter... Makes the ZJ look like an amateur on the road. While the WK still remains a bit more outfitted than the ZJ, for now, they are both quickly falling into their niches well. I drive the WK as a DD, easy trails, sand and gravel, a cross-country venture vehicle and expedition type vehicle. And my ZJ, quickly becoming more rugged, and a heavy-duty machine, limitless power and torque to rock crawl and to aggressive wheeling.
I think the only things I'll be getting for the WK is just a larger cargo rack, and some additional recovery equipment (that both the ZJ and WK will share depending on which one I take). Fire extinguisher, on-board air, additional lighting, a front skid, and front tow points, hi-jack lift, shovel. Maybe a few interior goodies to make it a more comfortable trip.
The ZJ's list is much longer
Turning your Jeep into a expedition vehicle isn't any cheaper then turning into a trail rig because a expedition vehicle need to do all things well. It needs to be a capable trail rig, safe and comfortable highway rig, and a mini RV all rolled into one package. http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/forums/44-Jeep

Thats a nice little site there... I don't think I really want to get that involved with it that much. Going in that direction really blurs the dividing line between these two Jeeps. That site kinda blends the ideas I have for these two Jeeps into one. But, yeah that's definitely extreme. I don't wan to be that involved in something like that. I need enough utility for camping, recovery, and traversing while keeping creature comforts in tact.
ZJ ---> Superb Rock Crawling and extensive attention and detail to trail modifications. Adequate recovery but no real regards to comfort.
WK--->Novice rock crawling. Adequate trail modifications. Excellent recovery and gear, with particular detail to comfort.
