Today on our 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee we'll be test fitting the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack with Euro Square Crossbars, part numbers ds1375b and dk234. Now to begin our test fit we've already gone ahead pre-assembled our crossbars and Fit Kit. The Fit Kit came with four rubber pads and four clamps. The bars also do come with the feet. The plastic pad for the foot can be attached to the foot in either direction indicated by the arrow.The instructions found in the Fit Kit do indicate which position the arrow will point. We'll now go ahead and attach the rubber foot from the Fit Kit to the plastic pad on our foot.
We can then undo the Allen bolt insert our clamp, reinsert the Allen bolt holding it in position. We're going to go ahead and leave these loose as this is how we'll clamp it to the vehicle.Each foot has an Allen bolt underneath here on the bar which will secure the foot to the bar. We followed the instructions placing our feet in the correct position on the bars. We'll now place the front crossbar on top of the roof and make sure that we do a measurement here which Rhino-Rack provides from the edge of the front door forward. This will be the location of the rear edge of our crossbar foot.
We'll do this on both sides of the vehicle to ensure that the crossbar's perpendicular with the vehicle.We can then use the included Allen tool to tighten down the two Allen bolts working our way back and forth to make sure that it stays centered on the vehicle. The only thing we have left to do is install the covers. We can then use the keys supplied with the bars to lock the covers in securing our crossbars to the vehicle. Once we have our front crossbar on we're ready to put on the rear crossbar.It's again assembled according to the instructions found within the Fit Kit. Now with our rear crossbar on top of the roof we'll again take another measurement.
This measurement is also provided by Rhino-Rack which will be from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar. This is the location of our rear crossbar. We'll make sure that the clamps go down into the door opening where we can then tighten down the Allen bolt working our way back and forth evenly to make sure that our rear crossbar is secure.Now that we have both crossbars on our roof rack systems secured and we're ready to load our accessories. That completes our test fit of the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack with the Euro Square Crossbars using part numbers ds1375b and dk234 on our 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

These heavy-duty, aluminum crossbars work with Rhino-Rack legs to create a sturdy roof rack. The square bars include built-in C-channels for mounting Rhino-Rack heavy-duty, contractor-grade accessories.Bought this rack for my jeep grand Cherokee seems like it would have been a great product.. however the instructions was so unclear, I soon realized I made a mistake buying this product. I was able to install it though I don’t believe it’s 100% correct. If my kayak falls off I’m gonna cry. If you’re thinking about buying this , DONT !
The product is great! I use it for skiing. Once you get the unit installed
it is snap to take off and reinstall. The only two issues that I have is
on occasion the wind generates a noise as it hits the rack. Usually this
happens around 65 mph. The other issue is I did not like the price. I am
familiar with what goes into making products. The rack should have not
cost more that $500. The company that makes it knows they can get that price
because people love their recreation.
Here are some pics of the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars - Silver - 50" Long - Qty 2 installed on my 2011 Honda CR-V.
That I recently purchased.
The rack fit well and was easy to install. Seems to be made well. The problem is the amount of road noise. I never even put the basket on. It was so loud, it roared. I repositioned it several times but the noise was way too much and I finally just removed it. I spent a lot of money for the rack and the basket and now they are in storage. I wish it would have worked out better because I thought it looked really good.
Ordered a Rhino Rack for my 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD Denali. Rack arrived in very good shape and all items were there. Installing at this time and see no problems ahead.
This rack works perfectly on my Nissan Versa for carrying my two Perception Sound 9'6" kayaks. The Rhino-Racks look good to me. The kayaks can rest directly on the rubber pads on the rails, unlike the Yakama racks I had in the past that had bare pipe rails. Also, I expect I can buy parts to adapt this product to a different car without having to buy new towers. I am sorry there are not hooks or loops to attach bungees when carrying lumber. They are noisy in the wind, but less so when carrying the kayaks.
The initial plan was to put them on only when needed.
Now being familiar with their custom fit and performance,They are on permanently. Racks on a Lexus? Who knew!
Thanks to Etrailer, I am ready to do some serious summer exploring with my 2013 Mazda 3! Rhino Racks, Malone top box, and Kuat bike rack!
Good quality and locks are included. The plastic lock covers are flimsy but they will keep an honest person honest.
Thank you for the very speedy customer service! My roof rack is already here!
I got the roof rack mounted anyways. Better pics to come when it's all finished!
Great product everything fit perfectly. With the heavy duty bars almost all the hardware for anything you put on the rack is too short
I was in a roof rack jam. There was a national shortage of the rack I needed for my car and our summer vacation was a week away. I went to etrailer.com when I couldnt find the roof rack anywhere else on the web. Another website actually suggested that they might have what I needed.
I spoke to Ashley E on the phone to make sure that I was picking the right parts. Ashley was very helpful and knowledgable. She helped me find the right roof rack and made sure that I received it in record time. I am a customer for life!!!
Excellent customer service, all current manufacturers for this type of equipment is not available for purchase because Yakima, Thule, even Rhino Rack did mention from customer service representatives from these 3 companies states you are better off purchasing from a distributor such as E-trailer. This company definitely had the transfer equipment from a Yakima support base to a Rhino Rack crossbar system. I needed the additional load weight and Jaime from E-Trailer was extremely patient and helpful…seriously awesome customer service…also my package came 2 days earlier in this truck driver shortage too. Job well done.
This kit is easy to slap on and sturdy enough to balance my skis and snowboards. I recently used the Rhino Rack on a three hour drive to a ski resort and had no issues.
This rack worked out great... I installed in on a 2017 Ford F-150. We drove 6 hrs through wind and rain with a SUP and Tandem Kayak on top. It really took a beating in a storm the whole way. One bracket was a little loose and shifted because of the wind on the Kayak, but it held together. Super happy with Rhino rack!
This loader is amazing...I easily load a 4' x 14' Sunfish sailboat at 120lbs easily without damaging my 2005 Nissan Armada...super sturdy...exactly as advertised. Note:. I order the extra heavy bar and did not need it! Now I take my sailboat with me while I pull my travel trailer. You won't be disappointed. Etrailer ROCKS IN CUSTOMER SERVICE...THEY HUNTED DOWN ALL INFO NEEDED TO MAKE THE PURCHASE...give DENA W a big raise!!!!!!
Awesome product! Fits like a glove on my 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited X. There is a slight whistling noise, but otherwise couldn’t be happier with the overall package!
The Rhino rack has been working well. It is a relief to get my ladder out of my car and to be able to use the back seat.
This is my second Rhino-Rack. They go on very easily and hold the bikes/kayaks and even an extension ladder very well....thanks for a great product
Fit my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the appropriate other feet and bars that the site listed. Install took about 2 hours total. The 'VA' measurement for feet position was about 9mm total off from a perfect fit, so I re-positioned them and it fit snug and looks GREAT. Hoping to get some use out of the rack soon.
This kit adapts the crossbar legs to my Jeep Grand Cherokee. Top quality parts, excellent fit with clear, easy to follow instructions. Measurements are included in this kit for ideal roof placement of the legs.
Two items I received surprised me when I unpacked the box were the rails because they were not black like I saw in the picture, and the rubber insert that I am having a hard time sliding in the rail. Should this rubber insert have come already installed in the rail or is there a top on how to put in with ease?
Everything was good
Love the roof rack! Works great for ka yaks!
