Never seen one on a lib but I would say you could fab something up. Does it attach to your crossbars or what

No pics, but I have Thule Aero Cross bars and have no problem attaching my Thule Ski racks.

I sell that kind of stuff 40 hours a week. The Factory load bars may be too wide to work with it, If you have Aftermarket load bars you will be fine.

With the factory roof rack you would need either the 450R Rapid crossroad foot pack or the Thule 450 Crossroad foot pack.
As the load bars slide through the 450/450R mount/foot kit on the factory rack it is up to you as to what length load bar you want to use.
(The 450R uses an aerodynamic load bar; the standard 450 uses a rectangular load bar.)
Here are a couple of links to both versions*.

Chances are that the Thule roof "Rack" you are getting will not fit unless it came from another vehicle that was equipped with factory "Roof rack" rails*)

I've been using Thule since 1983 on all of my vehicles and they work very well.
BTW, I've sold this stuff for 20 plus years!

On our KJ I use three pairs of 450 Crossroad foot packs and six foot long 78" (6.5 feet) long.
Then I permanently mounted a pair of 400 "feet" with a 5 foot long load bar directly to the roof as a light bar.
(Search KJ Country for photo's if you are interested)
On top of the three load bars I have an "Old School" cargo basket and 11 cubic foot ski box mounted.
(We also have a 7 foot long M.O.A.B. {Standard basket with two extensions.} basket sitting in the garage that I need to install when my body is up to it.)
Thule has never let me down in the last 27 years!

I also have the Thule 450 Setup on my KJ for use with everything that goes up there except the Kayak and Canoe Carriers Which where given to me and are Genuine Mopar parts.

Well if you can score a pair of Thule 450 foot pack and a pair of load bars for $75.00 then you will be styling!

On a side note Vranes, check local hospital thrift shops and church thrift shops for any and all Thule accessories.

I picked up a near new Old school cargo basket and four 400 foot pack roof rack feet and a pair of 6 foot long load
bars for $25.00!
Even came with four locks ($60.00 value, I just ordered keys using the number on the lock cylinder!)
And a near new set of ski holders (That looked like they were only used 3 or 4 times for $10.00!)

I turned around and sold those on Craigslist for $85.00!!!

Allot of people don't know what they have or what it is worth and you can get it for next to nothing!
