Stand-Up Paddleboard Recommendation for a 2011 Jeep Liberty to Clear Roof Antenna  

Updated 05/29/2014 | Published 05/28/2014



Question:

I am looking for a roof carrier for a stand up paddleboard. I have a 2011 jeep liberty, but there is an antenna in the middle of the back roof, I have a trailer hitch-would the darby extend a truck kayak carrier work for me? Thanks

If your 2011 Jeep Liberty has a trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver, then you could use the Rhino-Rack T-Load Hitch Mounted Load Assist and Support Bar, # RTL002, but you will likely have to carry your stand up paddleboard at an angle to clear your antenna.

A better option for you would be the Yakima SUPDawg, part # Y04075, and the Thule WingBar Evod Roof Rack, which consists of the 53 Inch Thule WingBars, # TH711420 in black or # TH711400 in silver, along with the Evo Raised Rail Feet, # TH710401.

The roof rack attaches to the side rails on your roof and the additional height of the crossbars and the paddleboard carrier should raise the paddleboard high enough to clear the rear antenna or at least have minimal contact which would be okay.

I have attached a video of the SUPDawg for you to check out.
