I have totally thought about doing an expedition rack as well... The Kargo Master one I think would look nice since it keeps the round bars, and the smittybilt one looks killer. Of course personally I would paint them in red, to have them look really awesome with the JP paint job. The olympic one is pretty good looking too. Also Wild Boar makes a YJ rack, though not pictured on their website, you have to call them.

I dont like the garvin one as it has square tubes.

I agree it would have to be in red ha ha I think the garvin fully loaded would be cool, but your right the tubing is off

BTW- The spray can of black Plasti Dip I bought today says it covers "approx. 5-10 square feet". That's a big range. Probably closer to 5.

The gal that answered the phone at dipyourcar.com suggested 12 cans to cover a Jeep with 5 coats. I suspect that number may be a bit low.
