Can I Use Longer Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 on My 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L?
Question:
I understand that the # RRVA126B-2 will fit my 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L with flush rails. They are 49inch long and will extend a little past the # RRRCL4 supports. If I wanted to get more bar space could I order Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54inch Long - Qty 2 Item # RRVA137B-2 ? They fit the same supports, right? Thanks

While we do have a longer crossbar option for your 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L with flush rails, Rhino-Rack cannot confirm whether the 54" Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 can fit onto your vehicle. This is because the # RRVA137B-2 has a finite bottom channel where it mates to the # RRRCL4. Since this is the case, the channel may not be long enough to accommodate that length on your roof to fit onto the supports. Also, since the 49" # RRVA126B-2 are the longest tested/confirmed fit for your model, there are no other traditional roof racks that are guaranteed to work.
With that being said, another great option, we do have the SeaSucker Monkey Bars - 60" # SEA99FR. Personally, I'm a huge fan of SeaSucker products because they have a massive pull strength where the cups attach to your roof as well as a 150-pound weight capacity. The # SEA99FR does not utilize the flush rail mounts on your Grand Cherokee L, so you do not have to worry about fitment issues with the supports. Also, the 1-1/4" diameter of the bars is perfect for virtually all clamp-on accessories. I went ahead and attached a video that shows the vacuum cup strength of SeaSucker products.
If you need theft-deterrence for the Monkey Bars, I suggest using the etrailer cable lock # e98891 along with the SeaSucker window anchor # 298-BA0010.
