If you've already got the ARB BASE Rack on your XJ Cherokee (’84-’01), adding the right accessories makes a big difference. Things like mount kits, wind deflectors, side or front-rails, and trade rails all help you haul gear better, reduce wind noise, and make loading easier without fighting with the setup.
Your ARB rack setup can be customized a lot more than most people realize. Want more protection around the edges or better ways to tie down stuff like jerry cans or a shovel? The accessory brackets, full/partial guard rails, and dovetail attachments let you do just that — customize it for what you’re really carrying. The hardware and install brackets are made to bolt on cleanly so you don’t have to hack or modify your roof.
When you match the accessories right, your roof rack becomes part of your rig—not just something you deal with. Everything holds steady, gear doesn’t bounce or shift, and packing/unpacking becomes less of a chore. If you camp, run overlanding gear, or just carry gear up top often, these ARB accessories make your Cherokee more practical and more solid.
