To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
When you’re loading up for a trip, you need crossbars you can trust to hold steady. These 53" long aluminum bars are built for off-road use and tested in extreme conditions, so they stay strong even when the trail gets rough. The black powder coat finish resists rust and keeps the rack looking good season after season. With a total weight of just 16 lbs, it delivers solid strength without unnecessary bulk.
Packing for camping or hauling kayaks and cargo gear gets easier when your rack works with what you already have. The integrated T-slots on the top and bottom of each bar let you mount a variety of accessories (sold separately), from cargo boxes to water sport carriers. That means fewer limitations and more flexibility to build your ideal setup for road trips, fishing weekends, or outdoor adventures.
A stable connection makes all the difference when hauling heavy gear. This rack installs directly in the rain gutters on your vehicle’s roof, giving you a firm and precise fit that won’t shift at highway speeds or on bumpy backroads. It feels solid from the start, so you can hit the road knowing your load is locked in place.
From highway stretches to off-grid trails, this rack is made to handle it all. Its durable build stands up to weather, mud, and long-term use without warping or fading. You can rely on it whether you're carrying kayaks to the river or loading up camping gear for a weekend away. It’s an all-around solid platform for getting your gear where it needs to go.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Front Runner Gutter Mount Aluminum Roof Rack. Now, this roof rack has been designed to fit your 1984 to 2001 Jeep Cherokee. And on custom fit parts such as this rack, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you.
So with its clever overhang design, this roof rack is going to optimize the available space on your roof. The 53-inch-long crossbars are gonna give you plenty of room to mount additional accessories, so it's gonna be a breeze to bring everything that you need, like your cargo box, cargo baskets, kayaks, or bikes. So I wanted to confirm that length with you and some other measurements as well. So again, 53 inches long, and then each bar is going to be about 3-1/2 inches wide and then about an inch thick or tall, however you'd like to identify that measurement. Now, giving you an overhead view here, I just wanted to show you that we do have integrated T-slots.
You're gonna have them on the top here and also on the bottom, so that's going to allow for seamless mounting of a variety of accessories, as we mentioned before. This rack is going to support both channel mount and clamp-on attachments, so that's going to give you flexibility for all of your adventure needs. And then this does feature durable aluminum construction complemented by a black powder coat finish. So this is designed to be rustproof obviously, so this is going to ensure that your roof rack is going to be able to endure harsh conditions without a hitch. Now, thanks to the gutter mount installation, fitting this rack on your Cherokee is gonna be pretty straightforward.
It's gonna securely use the existing rain gutters, giving you a hassle-free setup that's going to let you focus more on planning your trip and less on adjusting your equipment. Now, if you happen to have any other additional questions about this system or any other roof rack system that we carry, don't hesitate to reach back out to us. We do wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you want and need. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you.
