I have a solution for you. As far as mounting a Pioneer platform 72" x 56" and Backbone like the # JB0892 on your black and chrome raised rails of your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I confirmed with Rhino-Rack that they do not have an engineered fit of that size of platform for your roof. Also, we do not carry a Backbone that is guaranteed to fit your roof. Regrettably, your rails will not work with the RCL Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars and Pioneer Platforms # RRRCL6 either.

With that being said, Yakima has a platform that is almost identical to the Rhino-Rack pioneer platform that will fit your black and chrome flush rails on your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. For a definite confirmed fit with the height and width of your roof, I recommend the following parts:

- Yakima LockNLoad Platform Roof Tray - Aluminum - 55" Long x 49" Wide # Y05044
- SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points, Flush Rails, and Track Systems - Qty 4 # Y53TR
- LockNLoad SL Adapter for Yakima SkyLine and TimberLine Towers - Qty 4 # Y05042-2
- Landing Pad 18 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers - Qty 4 # Y00244
- Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07204

With this system, you will be able to carry cargo on the LockNLoad up to 165 pounds. I recommend confirming with your owner's manual to make sure your roof can carry that much weight.
