Question:
What cargo baskets will work on a 2006 Jeep commander equipped with the bigger sport utility crossbeams. The crossbeams have t-slot mounting capabilities, but seem to be too wide for most normal clamping systems.

Rhino Rack offers several baskets that will fit on crossbar widths up to 3-7/8 inches wide.
Another option is the SportRack Cargo Basket, # SR9035. If the crossbars are less than 3-1/2 inches wide, you can use this basket.
I would take a look at the most versatile, Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket, Item # TH859XT. It fits most crossbar spreads and configurations. You can also add an extension for more room, # TH8591XT, or locks to secure your carrier to your racks, # TH450400.
The first step is to measure the width of the crossbars, the height, and the center to center distance between the 2 if they are not adjustable.
