Question:
Hello, I am looking at purchasing a 2021 Jeep Cherokee. I currently have two sets of thule hullavators 897xt w/ 53inch square cross bars. I carry two Wilderness system pungo 140s that weigh 58 lbs each. Can I, and what do I need to order, for this to work? Thanks

It sounds like you've got Thule Square bars already, and as long as you've not had any issues carrying 2 Hullavators # TH898 on those bars you can keep using them and you'll just need a set of towers that can be attached to the raised side rails on your 2021 Jeep Cherokee. For that, I recommend using the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Factory Raised Rails - Qty 4 # TH710401 which are compatible with the Thule square bars. The capacity of this setup is would be a maximum of 220-lbs, but you'll be limited by the capacity of the roof, which you would want to refer to the owner's manual for on guidance for this vehicle.
These towers do come with spots to use Thule SKS lock cores, so if you don't already have a set of those you can use part # TH450400, which is a 4 pack of lock cores to fit on each of the towers.
I've linked a short installation video of this kit on a similar Jeep Cherokee for you to follow along with during the installation process.
