Question:

I would like to install a Thule rack system on a 2016 Jeep Wrangler unlimited hardtop using Thule Rapid podium foot pack 460R. I understand that the 460R attaches to a rail track. Do you sell the track so that I can install it on my hardtop? i have seen the system on other Jeeps but can not seem to locate where to purchase the tracks. Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:

The track system you are looking for is the Thule Roof Mounted Top Rack System # THTB60. It requires the Thule Fit Kit for Podium Style Foot Pack # THKIT3101 and then of course the Thule Podium Foot Pack for Aero Bars # TH460R like you said.

To complete the roof rack you'll need the 53 inch Thule WingBars # TH711400, or # TH711420 if you prefer them in black.

You will have to drill into the roof of your Jeep to install the rack system. If you'd rather not do that there is the option of using the WingBars with the Thule Rapid Gutter Feet # TH65BJ. In this case you want the 60 inch WingBars # TH711500 or # TH711520.

Before you do any of this you will want to confirm with your owner's manual that your Jeep is able to handle to amount of weight you will be carrying on its roof.
