Jeep Liberty “Skyslider” can indeed have a roof rack!

26 03 2011

Here at Rack Attack, one question remains constant: “Can I get a rack atop my new Liberty with the sliding roof?” The answer is: absolutely. Now the Jeep will be able to carry an extra 130lbs of cargo atop the roof, and the crossbars may be attached and removed in under one minute. This will allow you to take your kayaks, your bikes, cargo container or whatever-else-you-think-of to your destination, all while enjoying the open air feeling the Liberty Skyslider roof can provide!

Equipment used in this application consists of:

Thule TP42 Inch Tracks

Thule TK1 Tracker II Kit

Thule 430R Rapid Tracker Foot Pack

Thule RB47″ Aluminum Load Bars

4 – Pack of Thule Locking Cores (Never forget your locks!)

This was the perfect solution for our client who had already purchased a Thule cargo container, and bought a vehicle that Jeep does not offer a rack for!  Not only does this Thule system feature removeable crossbars, but being track-based, it allows you to spread your bars up to 40″ apart for long loads, or bring them in close together to perfectly fit your skiis and snowboard bindings into your snow-sport racks. If you find yourself in a similar (and very common) situation with your new Jeep, give us a call (888.399.RACK) or stop on in!

LEXUS HS 250H – Acura TL – Thule Fixed Position Custom Installation – TK14 – 430R – RB47

For today’s showcase install we mounted a Thule TK14 Tracker Kit which creates a solid mounting point for Thule 430(r) Tracker II feet on any vehicle without a factory rack. The Thule TK14 Tracker Kit is made for a sheet metal roof, and it includes “flaring” hardware and an installation tool. We determined that a fixed position system was the best choice, comparably to an adjustable track system, due to the lack of space between the sunroof and the weather strip. (less then the standard width of the track) The owner was interested in a system that would allow him to mount a 17ft kayak,  and possibly a cargo box in the future. For this reason we decided to go with a 31 inch bar spread, which allows for the maximum flexibility in terms of individual accessory bar spread requirements.

This System Includes;

This system will allow the mounting of most every Thule or Yakima accessory, such as Roof Top Bike carriers, Ski carriers, Water-sport carriers, as well as cargo bags, baskets and Cargo Boxes, and it is removable in seconds.
