What is the Usable Bar Space on my 2014 Jeep Cherokee Using the Thule Evo Crossbars
Question:
Hello, I have a 2014 Jeep Cherokee trailhawk with the factory raised roof rails. I know the factory rails on the cherokee start to move inwards as you move towards the rear of the vehicle and thus shrinking the usable bar space. How much usable bar space is there between the towers for this setup for both the front/tear? I have two roof rack attachments that require me to have 36” of usable bar space between the towers. Would these fit with this Thule setup? If not, what other options may? Ideally I would like to use a flushmount crossbar but they appear to reduce usable bar space even more due to the tower attachment design. Thank you in advance!

When using the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars part # TH711420 and the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 on your 2014 Jeep Cherokee you will have a total of 40 1/2" between the front foot packs and 38 1/8" between the rear foot packs. The entire length of the bar is usable at the 53" mark you are able to connect items both between the foot packs and outside of them. This gives you alot of usable crossbar. I have inked a video on a Cherokee below for you to see the kit.
You are correct that the flush style of bar will not have near the usable space as the pass through I say it would be closer to 30" with this type bar.
