Except you cheated & fitted yours to the front rail of the roof rack. LOL
Mine has a separate bar so I can still use the roof rack.

nothing wrong with being cheap kiwi! haha that's my plan, is to just use the roof rack bars. I never use the roof rack anyway, so it's no loss to me

You could pull an extra off of a Blazer or Jimmy of the same generation/style as yours and just have 3 bars. i plan to do that. The extra bar cost me $4 at a junkyard. or do what kiwi did and put plate where your rack mounts to the front part of your roof. then mount a cherokee crossbar to the plates. Sits further forward (better light positioning) and you can still use your rack (within reason).

Jfutch101, lets us know what method you choose, and how it turns out. Any tips that can help anyone in the future are always welcome and highly sought after 'round these parts.
A pic or two wouldn't hurt either
