Turning the wife's daily into my off-roader, 2008 Liberty w/SkySlider Roof...the roof function is sketchy so it will not be used. I'd like to get a full-length roof rack installed to protect it from branches (as well as hold gear) and my question is, "what would be the best/best type crossbars to fit?"

The full length factory rails are thin/shallow, not sure how to accurately describe them - but not ones with a hole/cavity to be be able to loop something through them. Also, as I am looking to ignore the sky slider, been a little tricky trying to find the right combo as I am not sure how different the non-SkySlider roofs/rails are.

Any suggestions on crossbars, good value racks, etc. appreciated.

At the Helm makes racks for the liberty. those black rails on your roof are covers for the stock bolts. You can by side rails and add your own crossbars or a full rack from the start.

I just got an ATH roof rack so I am selling my current one. If you’re anywhere near Philadelphia you’d be able to pick it up, plus the Mopar side rails.
