I've been eyeing the ARBs for my WJ, rounded out with a nice M8000 or maybe even a 9.5...who knows.

Is your's a 4.7L?

What rack are you looking at? I'm quite please with my Defender Rack, but I got it for super cheap. For the same price, you can have a KOR or for a few $$$ more, a Hannibal.

i replied when you put on the defender in your thread. ive had mine since october. but ive been adding and changing different things on it over the past months, i.e. aluminum deflector up front behind lights, what type of lights/bulbs to use, how to mount this n that, etc. lemme snap a pick brb....
this is how it sits now. still a few items left to buy.

Are those Defender specific accessories, or ones that you have custom fitted?

I'm in the process of making some low profile mounts for mine, so it should sit about 2" lower, directly on top of the rails.

some accessories are defender spec., axe/shovel bracket, spare mount. the spare mount is not offered i a wj bolt pattern, so im just gonna hack it up a bit and re-weld the studs. the hi-lift brackets are just 4xracs. that big piece of cardboard laying inside is going to be my flooring and will be fully secured to the rack itself via a series u-bolts. btw, all of the hardware on this thing is/will be stainless steel, i dont do rust!
i did think also about the height of those brackets. lemme know what you come up with!!
thx!
