Does anyone know of a roof rack system that will work with these corners on a JKU?

It would have to be something that either mounts to the hard top?? Or a custom job with a good welder!!

I've searched all over and am looking for the pics of the JK with these fenders that have the factory flares mounted on them, can anyone post a link or the pics themselves

I want these XRC fenders but also would like the coverage when not offroading

thanks

I don't know of a rack that makes it for the XRC armor fenders, but I have a warrior safari roof rack and it wouldn't take much to modify it to work with the XRC's. I'm still debating if I want to modify it or sell the rack all together.

I wouldn't use factory just because they would look awful. There are all those bolts I would make something to attach to those that could be thin strong metal or plastic. I can't believe they haven't added an accessory on that has these, even though I don't want them.


I did just hear that they came out with these in aluminum!!! Makes me wanna sell my steel ones and buy aluminum haha

There was a thread from a guy who made flares and attached them to these XRC. Never seen the factory flares mounted to them I do also think that would be hideous! You would have to get fancy with your fab skills to make something that would look decent

I wish they made these in aluminum. They had the aluminum ones on display at SEMA in 2012, but never released them. That's my only concern with buying these.

Btw, here's someone who attached the factory flares to the XRC fenders. Not my Jeep. Just found the picture online.

Not nearly as bad as I thought.

And oh well on aluminum ones they would be nice though! Probably too pricey though
