Question:
I purchased Thule roof rack for Jeep Wrangler Unlimited...8inch Thule with EVO crossbars and the Thule SUP taxi. Is there a recommended spacing front to back for the Thule racks?

Expert Reply:
It looks like you have the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711520 and Rapid Gutter Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH65BJ to make up your roof rack to use the Thule SUP Taxi XT Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier # TH810001.
Typically the spacing of your crossbars will be determined by the carriers you are wanting to use or the availability of mounting points. In your case, there is not a maximum recommended spacing, just a minimum.
Both the feet and SUP Taxi state that you need a minimum of 24" spacing between the crossbars. As long as you have that minimum, you can set the crossbars up where they fit your Jeep and carrier the best.
