Question:
Hello! I have been searching for something just like your Rhino-Rack Multipurpose Holder for Thule Square and Yakima Round Crossbars Item # RMPH4 BUT I would like something a little more heavy duty. Id like to mount my high lift jack longitudinally off of my square thule bars. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Roof racks including Thule's square bar setups are weight rated for a stationary load such as a cargo box like # TH628. Likewise, the Rhino-Rack Multipurpose Holders # RMPH4 are intended for light-duty accessory applications such as securing fishing rods or ski poles or a camping shovel, at most.
Although they are made of glass-reinforced nylon the weight of a Hi-Lift jack might be too much for them. Many of the Hi-Lift jacks weigh in the range of 30-lbs. My contact at Rhino-Rack gave an emphatic "no" to using this kit for a Hi-Lift jack.
Hi-Lift does offer accessories for their jacks including hood mounts specific to the Wrangler.
