OK, so I got a pair of Mopar cross rails, and I've been looking for an upright bike carrier that'd be compatible with them. Being the cheapskate I am, I do NOT want to spend $180ish on the Mopar one.

I saw a KJ with a Yakima bike carrier bolted to what looked like Mopar cross rails (just like mine...the brushed aluminum finish and whatnot), but couldn't really make anything out since I was driving.

Any input as to what'll be compatible? I understand only Mopar stuff will slide in those nifty little slots...but I don't mind clamping to the bars themselves. Thanks!

Yakima and/or Thule usually make adapter kits to mount their racks to factory installs.....check their websites via google or call one of their dealers.

Will these work??

Yes it will, and the price is right!

I saw the adaptors, too...but those were a bit...pricey. Looks like the Rocky Mountain rack is the way to go

The Mopar ones where u take the front wheel off are from what I saw when I was looking at an used set was that they were still kinda wobbly. The seller admitted that they held but it did move abit.

I opted for the spare tire Mopar ones... easier to put on and take off WITHOUT SCRATCHING UP YOUR ROOFTOP which may rust easier too.

My roof's already scraped all to bejeezus and back from trees and such, so that's not really a concern.

Hehehe. When I first heard Just Empty Every Pocket, I thought: OK, they mean spend a lot of money and then go riding. Now that I've had a Jeep for 5 years, I know it means: Just Empty Every Pocket, and keep emptying them.

I use Rocky Mounts, mounted to Thule cross rails. They work great.
