Question:
I want to mount this Thule Force XT XL roof box to my Gobi Stealth Rack on my Jeep Wrangler JLU. I currently have round-raised Gobi Stealth Elevation cross bars 0.8 inches in diameter. If those wont work, what Thule footpack and cross bar system should I purchase to fit my Gobi Stealth Rack? It is exactly 52 inches wide between the Stealth Racks raised round rails.

Hey Paul, since the Thule Force XT XL Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6358B requires a max crossbar spread of 35 7/8" your bars are going to be a bit too wide to.
Your best bet would be to add a set of Thule crossbars like the Thule ProBar Evo Crossbars # TH713600 using the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710401 which should have no problem clamping around the bars on your Gobi Stealth roof rack.
From here you will be able to mount the Thule Force cargo box without any issue.

Hey Paul, how did things go with adding the Thule ProBar Evo crossbars and Evo Raised Rail Feet to your Gobi Stealth rack? Were you able to get the Force XT XL box mounted securely? Your update could make it easier for others working with the same setup.
