I searched around and came across one on ebay:

Not sure if it fits all years though, it says it came off a 2003.

That will not fit on your 2005 if you have a Renegade. The roof rails are different.

They were stock on 2003 and 2004 Renegades. They won't fit the newer Renegade's thicker rails.

If you want them for looks, they're great. if you want them for capacity, they's weak stock (max 65lbs) but I figured out a way to improve them and posted it here years ago.

Basically, the cross bars on these things are held in place by clamps that grab below the roof rail. This makes it so that any weight on the cross bars pulls down on the clamps which are kinda thin.

So I replaced the cross bars with thule bars that were longer than stock. I cut out square holes inside the plastic basket (but not the outside so it looks stock from outside), and the thule bars rest on top of the roof rails. The clamps are then used just to keep the bars in place.

Now I can put on any thule accessory I want. I currently have ski racks and a general load stop up there. The other big down side is that I have to pull the whole basket apart to change out the accessories. but I don't do that often.

I lost a bunch of my pics but could take more if anyone needs them.

Enjoy!

I got mine on ebay for 80 or 125 bucks. I do not remember which it was cuz I bought 2 things that day. I think it was 80 bucks. I actually bought it from a LOST KJ member in NJ. I did not know untill i saw another roof basket he was selling and it had a LOST KJ sticker on it.
