Jeep Wrangler Unlimited w/ Freedom Top – Track Mounted Roof Rack System + Yakima Spare Time – Spare Tire Bike Carrier!

As one can expect, Jeep owners love to spend time outdoors with their toys more often than not.  Consequently, you’ll need a safe and secure way to get these toys to your destination.  Fortunately for the Jeep world, Rack Attack is here to help.

Our Wrangler Unlimited owner came to us looking for a solution to carry kayaks and bikes.  He wasn’t comfortable with standard clip on racks and wanted something that could afford a larger bar spread to securely haul his boats.  The particular Wrangler in question was also fitted with the hard fiberglass “Freedom Top”; a 3-piece roof system that features t-top type panels that can be removed to let the sun shine in without removing the whole top.  This hard top also provides a perfect platform to permanently mount a set of Yakima 60″ Tracks with Bolts.  To prevent interference with the t-top panels, the tracks had to be trimmed so they would only span the rear portion of the hard top.

Once the tracks were mounted with the supplied bolts, Yakima LP1 bases were installed.  These bases allow Yakima Control Towers to be fastened down securely; and based on the overall span of the roof 58″ Yakima Crossbars were fit to the Control Towers.  Finally, a 4 pack of Yakima SKS Lock Cores were installed to lock the towers down to the vehicle, deterring would be thieves.

To tally up the entire system installed on this Jeep you will have the following:

• Yakima 60″ Tracks with Bolts
• Yakima LP1
• Yakima Control Towers
• 58″ Yakima Crossbars
• 4 pack of Yakima SKS Lock Cores

This solves the problem of getting boats to the water… but the Jeep owner wants to have fun on dry land as well!

The Yakima SpareTime allows the user to carry up to 2 bikes utilizing the rear-mounted spare tire on the Jeep.  While the SpareTime comes with it’s own locks to secure the rack to your vehicle and your bikes to the rack; we at Rack Attack appreciate the convenience of using only one key whenever possible.  We kindly matched the Yakima SKS Lock Cores from the Control Towers to those in the SpareTime at no extra charge.

A detailed view of the Yakima SpareTime spare tire mounted bike carrier.  This rack is extremely easy to install, remove, and use everyday on most vehicles with a rear mounted spare tire.  Yakima includes their “SwitchBlade” anti-sway feature to prevent bikes from swinging front to back when accelerating or decelerating.  And a handy feature for after the ride; integrated bottle openers finish this rack in style.

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

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!
