Roof Rack

[Grey]

I just got my Liberty KJ last friday night. Woohoo!

First item on my list is cross bars for the roof rack.

Suggestions anyone? Yakima? Anyone know of
any good deals?

thanks!

I cut my own out of 2 chrome rods from the hardware store and drilled through some Eye bolts to hold them down. Cost maybe 30.00 all together.

The stock mopar rails cost way to much, but I found mine used so I got them. I love the look and they hold 150lbs just fine(ME)..

Jeepjeepster - I like the look of yours - do you have a part #?

 

[MoladoGuy]

That looks good. I was thinking of doing the same. Also, what tint is your windows....they look nice and dark (or its just the angle along with the light).

I wound up doing the Yakima LowRider with 58" bars and 38"fairing.

Looks pretty good - I went with the extra lenght bars 58 vs. 48 inches for a little more width.

Will post pictures tomorrow. Just finished and it's kinda dark out there.

Cheers!

Sorry I missed your all's posts.. I know that you already got the Yakima ones grey, but those are just mopar(L82205174).

They are 15% MoladoGuy.. Or matched to the rear windows.. O

Since thats out in the woods, they look alot darker..

I have the Mopar roof rails... got them on Ebay for $100 even.

I use Rocky Mounts Noose bike racks on them. Nice setup. Not a whole lot of wind noize.

Pics?

Here are pictures of the Yakima. Not bad - a little higher profile than the Mopars, but I like the extension on the side. The 38"fairing could be a little wider but it will do.

Does that have any effect with the sunroof? Silly question, I know, but it looks close to the sunroof if you open it up to vent (not all the way open).

That looks great, how much did you pay (a bit too wide)

 

[Grey]

It does not affect the sunroof. I had to move it back about 2 inches from the very front of the side rails to keep it behind the sunroof.
The sunroof can raise, or slide back freely under and infront of the
fairing.


http://www.rackattack.com About $250 The risers were $126
the 58" bars were $48 the locks were $40 and the fairing was about $40.

You can get a bar that's 48" so it wouldn't be as wide - same price.
I got the longer bars and may or may not cut them down.

Depending on what I load up there, etc.

 

[hyde]

more expensive than I thought

 

[Grey]

It's only money...... but yeah I coulda done the Mopar for $125 or so.

Adding things to a Jeep is about as bad as owning a Harley.
Now I have two mouths to feed. One loves chrome and highways, the other dirt and meadows.
