My wife put a Baja rack on her '96, it fits great, looks great, works great.
I put a Sherpa on my '99, same report - it fits great, looks great, works great.
I had a brief bit of worry that not having 'sides' would be a problem, but really those sides shouldn't be holding anything in, it needs to be strapped down securely either way. I've had no issues with stuff on the roof of my '99 even doing tough trails. I went full length with a light bar on mine, hers is the shorter style.
Just a matter of what style you like. Shorter and sleeker, or taller and more 'useful' looking.
