Today on our 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee we'll be test fitting the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack with Euro Square Crossbars, part numbers ds1375b and dk234. Now to begin our test fit we've already gone ahead pre-assembled our crossbars and Fit Kit. The Fit Kit came with four rubber pads and four clamps. The bars also do come with the feet. The plastic pad for the foot can be attached to the foot in either direction indicated by the arrow.The instructions found in the Fit Kit do indicate which position the arrow will point. We'll now go ahead and attach the rubber foot from the Fit Kit to the plastic pad on our foot.
We can then undo the Allen bolt insert our clamp, reinsert the Allen bolt holding it in position. We're going to go ahead and leave these loose as this is how we'll clamp it to the vehicle.Each foot has an Allen bolt underneath here on the bar which will secure the foot to the bar. We followed the instructions placing our feet in the correct position on the bars. We'll now place the front crossbar on top of the roof and make sure that we do a measurement here which Rhino-Rack provides from the edge of the front door forward. This will be the location of the rear edge of our crossbar foot.
We'll do this on both sides of the vehicle to ensure that the crossbar's perpendicular with the vehicle.We can then use the included Allen tool to tighten down the two Allen bolts working our way back and forth to make sure that it stays centered on the vehicle. The only thing we have left to do is install the covers. We can then use the keys supplied with the bars to lock the covers in securing our crossbars to the vehicle. Once we have our front crossbar on we're ready to put on the rear crossbar.It's again assembled according to the instructions found within the Fit Kit. Now with our rear crossbar on top of the roof we'll again take another measurement.
This measurement is also provided by Rhino-Rack which will be from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar. This is the location of our rear crossbar. We'll make sure that the clamps go down into the door opening where we can then tighten down the Allen bolt working our way back and forth evenly to make sure that our rear crossbar is secure.Now that we have both crossbars on our roof rack systems secured and we're ready to load our accessories. That completes our test fit of the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack with the Euro Square Crossbars using part numbers ds1375b and dk234 on our 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
