Paddleboard Carrier Recommendation for 2016 Jeep Cherokee with Yakima Rack and Antenna

Question

Question:

I am wondering how I can put a Paddleboard on a 2016 Jeep Cherokee using Yakima Jetstream/Timberline. I have the Yakima base rack on my car already, the problem is I cannot find a solution for mounting the paddleboard on the roof rack that is high enough that it will not hit or bend the antenna on the vehicle.

You would have to remove the antenna of your 2016 Jeep Cherokee to install a paddleboard carrier like the Thule SUP Taxi Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier # TH810001 which would work well. Since there are no paddleboard carriers that hold the boards on their side you would have to go with one like this that holds the board on its side and then remove the antenna temporarily.
