Recommended Roof Rack and Ski Carrier for 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Question:
Im looking for a ski rack for my 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee. How do I know which racks will fit, or what additional parts I would need to purchase? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
Your 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee should already be equipped with the rails along the edges of the roof that run from front to back.
Rhino Rack offers a strong, aerodynamic crossbar set-up for your vehicle that's also reasonably priced. The rack would include the following parts:
49 Inch Vortex Aero Crossbar # RRVA126B-2 for black or # RRVA126S-2 for silver
SX Series Legs, part # RRSX100
With the roof rack in place, you can then install a ski carrier. Rhino Rack offers some different alternatives. For carrying two pairs of skis, use # RR572. For 4 pair of skis or two snowboards, use # RRT574 or for up to 6 pairs of skis or 4 snowboards, use # RR576. The Yakima FatCat EVO 4 # Y03095 you referenced would also be compatible, but instead of mounting to the T-slot in the crossbar, the PowderHound could clasp around the crossbar, so installation wouldn't be quite as quick as with the Rhino Rack carriers.
