The Rightline Sport 3 XL Waterproof Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S30 is a versatile cargo carrying product that can work with roof racks, roof side rails (like what you have on your Liberty) and with completely bare roofs. I often recommend this bag because of its combination of substantial size, water-proof construction, flexible installation and moderate price. Please refer to the linked review video for more information.

The bag itself measures 48-inches long x 40-inches wide but since it is made of flexible material it can to a degree conform to the shape of its surroundings and the loaded cargo inside it. You can install this on your Liberty either by running its included straps through the interior of the vehicle, or by attaching them to the roof side rails.

With a bag like this I recommend using a Non-Skid Roof Protection Pad # RL100650 to help keep the bag from shifting around and to protect your paint finish from scratches. It is always a good idea to keep the vehicle roof and the bottom of the bag clean to reduce any chance for scratches.

Sometimes users of rooftop cargo carriers will choose a handy slip-on tire step like the # HE4040 to make it easier to access the bag for loading and unloading. This item comes fully assembled and folds up for easy storage in the vehicle.
