Roof Mount Cargo Basket Recommendation for a 2010 Jeep Liberty with Factory Installed Side Rails

Question:

Is there a way I can attach the M.O.A.B. To my jeep liberty. I dont have the cross beams but I do have the factory side rails. I was hoping there is a bracket system that can mount the basket directly to the side rails. Thanks.

To add a cargo basket to your 2010 Jeep Liberty with side rails that run front to back, you will need to add cross bars that run side to side.

The M.O.A.B. is not the best fit for your Liberty. Instead, I recommend adding Yakima cross bars and basket to your roof. You will need Round 58 inch CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack System (QTY 2), # Y00409, and Yakima Towers for Flat and Raised Side Rails (QTY 4), # Y03536, # Y33TR. With these items installed, you could then add the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket, # Y07080.

Be sure to check the capacity of your Jeep Liberty roof and side rails. The cross bars have a max weight capacity of 150 pounds but if the roof or rails are lower, you must go by the lowest rated item.
