so i have an 04 grand cherokee and im lookin to get a ski rack. ive been lookin online n found the usual thule, barrecrafters, etc...but what do you guys have? my jeep has the crossbars so i just need the actual rack itself. anyone got a jeep or a simliar suv, mind letting me know what you have? and possibly where you got it? or of coarse if anyone is getting rid of theirs id be open to offers. i had one that went on my last car that sat on top and had the sides that went into the door hindges, but it isnt gonna fit and id rather just get the ones that attach to the crossbars already on the jeep.

i use the thule flat top 4. nice, durable rack, but it only holds 3 pairs of skis, not the 4 that thule claims

Any of thules ski rack can attach directly to your stock crossbars. They make one call the wide mouth. It holds up to 6 or 8 paris of skis, and it slides to one side of the jeep for easy loading and unloading.

i don't have an suv but in terms of ski racks themselves i love the yakima big powderhound, it fits 4 or 5 pairs of fat skis and it's pretty low profile
it also comes with inserts so it's designed for round bars but you can break out little tabs and it works for thule square bars
