Bought a cheapo from Discountramps.com I needed to stay low for parking garages so hopefully this will still fit. At some point I will probably move this to the wifes and either go Mopar or Wilderness rack direct to the side rails.

Yeah...I was about to say that it looked a bit small. A 45x50 would of fit better. |

If your cross rails can come apart, you could slide them through the rack itself, dropping the rack another 2 inches or so so that it sits between the factory rails, not above them. Hind sight is 20/20, and I think I would have tried that rack instead of my Black Widow. |

I almost went with a Yakima Basketcase mounted low between the crossbars. but over $100 plus the mighty mounts I figured I give this cheapo a try first. |

Thats cute! Looks like a Training Rack. Not meaning to be harsh but what can you do with that? It still looks cute. |
