I had a standard fixed Wilderness Rack on my 91 XJ. I would never
recommend a Garvin roof rack to anyone - the finish is poor and the
steel and hardward rust quickly. It might be ok for a desert climate.
If cosmetics are irelevant to you, they are functonal and tough. And
heavy. Your TJ will wallow in turns once you load the rack with gear.

A trailer makes a lot more sense to me.
