The XJ has been needing a sturdy, heavy duty roof rack for a while so we got to designing a fully custom rack! We came across Josh’s design on Instagram and loved how he dropped the front over the windshield to give the rack a low-profile design. He was kind enough to send us some pictures and measurements to help us get started. Next up we needed some lighting hardware and that’s where legendary off-road lighting company KC stepped in and helped us out by sending us some KC Daylighters! They add a ton of color to the Jeep and give it a classic, vintage look. For a special touch we added a ladder to the passenger side to help us access whatever we put on the roof.
Thank y’all for watching, stay safe, and be sure to stay tuned for the next video!

It takes me back (50 yrs.) to see young guys doing such good work and having fun. You guys have a better future than you probably know.
It was nice to see you guys giving the XJ some love...lol....
Your design and execution of this build were awesome. You guys should go into business making these. Well done fellas.
So good to see some of the younger generation out working in the garage. Awesome job!! Exactly the video I was looking for to build mine!
Great job boys, nice to to see you younger kids getting it done, and getting it done real nice too !!!
Nice work boys! It is nice to see people still fabing their own stuff!
I’ve been trying to work up the confidence and knowledge to do this myself. I’m blown away at how this turned out and I’m going to see if I can’t replicate this style of build on my 1990 Suburban
Amazing roof rack
That ladder looks sick
Nice job guys! I dig the ladder, that came out looking good
You guys have some awesome tools. Love that hole saw jig.
Great job guys I am wanting to make my own roof rack so I'm looking for ideas. I subscribed to the channel and look forward to watching more. Take care
Nice to see the XJ again. That's the reason
I originally subscribed to you guys.
Hoping to do more XJ stuff in the future. Just wish that Jeep parts were as cheap as gokart parts lol
Y’all guys worked your Asses off on this☝️ and Did a KILLER job doin it!!! Super job!!!!☝️☝️☝️
Very nice guys very nice very professional that's what I want to do to my XJ great job
Dude that’s some really great work love the Jeep Cherokees had so many over the years . The Jeep looks better and better ever time I see it.
Patrols are better
That’s a badass setup. You guys are amazing. Cheers 🥃🥃
Lookin good gentlemen Great teamwork sweet design especially the placement of Day Lighters .
That came out so damn nice! Sick build 🤘
That turned out great!!!!!! Awesome!
I already have a roof rack in a light bar And off-road bumpers with shackles I just I’m looking for to make an welled up my own ladder and I fell in love with your style of ladder
Cool video guys! That roof rack turned out great!
Awesome job guys!!
Wicked cool rack guys! And sweet XJ too. Great work!
The rack turned out really awesome, y'all did a bad ass job, looks awesome on the rig too top notch work, if the bed liner doesent hold up go to home depot and buy some rustoleum coal tar epoxy, that stuff is literally bullet proof, that's what im putting on my trailer, we use it at work for industrial pumps
Great job fellas! You guys have skilz!!
Very nice build!
That looks great guys!! Good job 👍🏻
I’m going to have to make one for my Jeep for sure 👍👍👍
You guys look like pro's!!! Keep it up!!
Best I’ve ever seen. Well done gents. 👍
awesome job guys nice tools and good Skills....
Doing this on my comanche. Thanks guys
holy cow this thing looks sick!
That is the most badass roof rack ever
Well done bros that rack is sick
Awesome. Beautiful!!! I’m about to start welding for the first time and may try building my own roof rack to learn how it’s done; nothing as complex as yours though! I wish you’d shown how to do all the wiring for those 6 top-mounted KCs. 😢
Awesome job guys
Man, I am in love. I love the vintage look of using KC lights, and I need a roof rack too. Is there anywhere that you guys have the measurements for this? I can try and reverse engineer it but it looks perfect. Subscribed, hope to see the XJ a lot!
You guys have some awesome tools I don't know where you get all The funds for such equipment but you're some lucky dude you look like you Are having a lot of fun
Finally a video with the XJ! Been too long.
Outstanding job, guys! I wonder why you didn't use more expanded steel so you'd have cargo space, and I'm curious if you guys know the weight capacity. I didn't think id like the way the lights looked up top. but, I do. Also, that ladder is sick!
I would love to see the buggy revisited and hopefully fully running right
We're planning on fixing it up and taking it to the offroad park
Good work boys
Excellent work! Subbed
Thanks for the video
Looks good nice work
Good job guys.
Great job!
Awesome! I built one on my channel for my Gambler car! Yours is waaay nicer! Mine was kind of fast and dirty.
Those donuts at the end were sweet
Driving in circles isnt donuts
Climbing that hill with no problem
Where did you guys get the expanded steel? I’m finishing up a rack for my jk. Love the build guys keep it up
I want this rack!
Awesome 👍
Amazing skill. Where did you learn how to do this stuff?
Hello guys,
Thank you for your video, could you tell me where I can find the roof rack nuts that you use?
good work, curious how much tubing did you end up using?
Any chance you’d be able to share the measurements and bends? I’m looking to do something similar.
Nice design for a unique rack. Looks similar to one dirt lifestyle made for his newer rig. Question, Why did you not cover the entire deck area, rather opted to leave the front open. I didn't see a sunroof or reason you would want to leave that much space unused
Freaking awesome. Do you know of anyone who has made a ladder for their Wrangler?
FELICIDADES, GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR CONOCIMIENTOS EN EL APRENDIZAJE CONSTANTE DE LA VIDA,SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO,...POR ACA NO CONTAMOS CON EL EQUIPO CON EL QUE USTEDES CUENTAN POR NUESTRAS LIMITACIONES , PERO INTENTAMOS DAR NUESTRO MEJOR ESFUERZO , EN NUESTRO PROYECTO DE UN JEEP CHEROKE 1999..GRACIAS,GRACIAS...
Congratulations for the work!!! Could you tell me the dimensions of the rack?
Yooo!! That thing looks good! I've been wanting to the exact thing to my xj and love the set up yall have! What tube bender is that?
Thanks! Its from Pro Tools, we have a link to it in the description
Now all you guys need is a roof top tent and a place to go camping
Fucking awesome Finished product! Excellent job.
Does it make sound on the road feom the wind??
2 questions.
1. What are your dimensions for the rack
2. Do you or can you make these for custom order?
If I had the equipment I would love to have that rack and ladder. I just bought a jeep and that's so amazing! Let me know if you'd sell one! A+
Hey where did you run the wiring for the lights?
Could you show how the lights work at night
Hey bro what is the estimate rate for making this same type of carear
where did you buy the jrc roof racks
Where did you guys bought the tubing bender ?
What detentions is the roof rack length and width
Awesome roof rack great job.👍 were did you bought the locking clamps for the roof gutter.
They're the JCR roof rack gutter mounts
@@BuildBreakRepeat okay thanks👍.
Are you guys using gas to mig or fluxcore
What size lift and tires on the xj
Hey I have a 99 jeep 4dr Cherokee XJ can u give me the Dimensions for that side ladder up to your roof rack? Please I love to make something myself for mine I live in Ohio and I’m just starting out to do custom stuff to my rig
What kind of welder brand is that
Do you think there’s any way to stretch out a few more inches into the rack, I’m looking for at least 84” of clearance for a weirdly shaped rtt
A measurement of the back of the daylighters to where the trunk would hit fully open about an inch above the rack would be a tremendous help!
thickness and diameter of the tube''?
@6:39 every time you call a Jeep a "car", a baby bunny dies :(
Would I be able to buy one of these?
I now want to build this. Lol, could I have the instructions 😅
ooo right 🤦🏻♂️ dude this hole time i can just get a welding machine and all does tools at my home and make it my self so easy
I want this rack so bad 😢
niiiiiiice
Damn that exhaust sounds sweeeeet..... what did you guys do to it?
We put an exhaust cutout on it form Summit Racing. When we're off roading we flip the switch on to loud mode
Build Break Repeat have you done a video on it? Would love to see it
@@cletus_maximus4711 ruclips.net/video/Wvhl0fxPzDA/видео.html&ab_channel=BuildBreakRepeat Just remembered we made a video on it, there's the link^
Another rung on the ladder to success...yep,I went there..
How much$$$ I'd like one..
Lockers before light bars
Not to change the subject but whatever happened to the electric kart?
We've been hung up waiting for some parts to ship in from China, but hopefully it'll be back in a few weeks
@@BuildBreakRepeat Awesome, thank you so much for responding. I love your content, you guys rock.
Will you make this for me and ship it I'll pay too I need this for my xj
You should sell these!
This makes me kinda miss my XJ.... then I realize I have a land cruiser 100 now and much prefer it over the XJ. I do miss beating the hell out of the jeep though.
Is this a college math showdown ? , come on , don't be shy , is it ? LoL
"doing the math" Awesome idea there .
Why don't you make a tandem go kart , passenger in front , driver behind , do it before i do .
What size lift and tires bro?
6.5" lift and 32" tires
@@BuildBreakRepeat cheers 🤙🏽🤙🏽
U guys work💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
What are the chances I could pay y’all to make me one just like that?
Best design. Looks sexy 😍
Sell me one
