Alright, now our Jeep has already been equipped with a Thule Roof Rack System on it with the Thule AeroBlades. And we have our bicycle rack already assembled according to instructions so it's just a matter of putting it in place. We'll take the clamp for the front of the bike rack. We'll run it around the first crossbar and then we'll slide a clamp for the second crossbar into place. Once you have it in the bars, position the way you want it, and then we can go ahead and attach the hardware and then tighten it down. more
