Expert Reply:
The roof racks that will fit your vehicle will depend on the roof of your Grand Cherokee. If your roof has the flush-mounted rails with chrome strips that run along the edges of the roof, I'd recommend a Vortex Aero Crossbar rack from Rhino Rack, which consists of the following parts:
Vortex Aero Crossbar in Black, part # RRVA126B-2 or in Silver, part # RRVA126S-2
Leg Kit, part # RRRCL4
Fit Kit, part # RRRCP27-BK
You could use the Rhino Rack Surfboard carrier, part # RRRWP03.
If there are no rails on your roof, or if the roof rails are black plastic, you can install a Thule WingBar system using the following parts:
Thule WingBars, part # TH711520 for black or # TH711500 for silver
Thule Rapid Traverse Foot Pack, part # TH480R
Vehicle Specific Fit Kit, part # THKIT1656
You can carry your surfboard using the following parts:
Thule Surf Pad, part # TH845000
Express Surf Strap, part # TH531
